      IN LADIES' RIGHTS

      BY THE SAME AUTHOR

      THE HICKORY LIMB

      Illustrated.             Cloth.             50 cents net

      The joyful pathos is so true that it chokes you all up but leaves you happy, and one likes to be left happy.

      An hour of amusement, a series of laughs from the heart out and a pleasant vista backward to the days of childhood will come to the reader of 'The Hickory Limb.'

      LADIES' RIGHTS

      PART ONE

      MARGERY was sitting under the cherry tree with a certain air of expectancy. She seemed to be waiting for something or some one. Willie Jones's head popped over the back fence and Willie Jones himself, a tin pail in one hand, dropped into the Blair yard and made for the cherry tree.
