A Village Enigma
By M. QUAD
Copyright, 1913, by Auoclateil Lit
It was three years after Mrs. An
drew Wakelleld becuiiio n widow that
things begnu to happen to disturb tbo
peace of mind of tlie town of Hooper
vllle. Mr. Wnkefleld bnd been n tnnn
without it in til t lou or energy nnd addict
ed to Intoxicants, and tbo main sup
port of the couple bnd been tbo earn
ings of tbe wife witb tier needle.
Mr. Waketield sometimes complained
because be was not met on even terms
by tbe tbe ?>est cltlzons, but the wife
never complained of her lot. If she
expected a merchant's wifo to associ
ate witb her dressmaker on terms of
equality she never gnve utterance to
that fact. And never, that any one
cuuld recall, did sbe ask to be consider
ed a martyr or llnd fault witb iter
bUHbund. wneii other wives told her
what they would do in such a cns?
she sometimes smiled. but never com
plained. After trying for years to
make Iter out people decided that she
was an enigma.
"And what In the name of cat* Is
that?" asked good old Deacon I'ctors
of his wife when she applied tbe term.
"Why. Moses, don't you know what
an enigma is?"
They've invented no many darned
tli'ugx In tbe last few years that I'm
nil lulled up."
i j,. . _ j. j ? ...
"All enigma if 11 uiuig yun nun i uu
deretnnd "
"Wual, Is Mm. Wakefield an enigma?"
"Folks say so."
"Mebbo she Ih. SIic strikes mo as a
woman woo is waiting (or something
to happen."
Something flnnlly happened. It wasn"'
anything of great Importance? Just the
I-ater the Widow Wakefield was left
a great sum of money by Kngllsh rela
tives. It was all In the papers, and
her lawyer ronflrmed It. She became
the richest woman In the state almost
in a day. And of course the query
with everybody wns:
"What will she do with It?"
There were events In the history of
the widow that rioopervllle had not
taken cognlzauce of. Sho came from
an aristocratic family. AC eighteen
she had fallen In love and eloped with
and wed n young man who mado a
worthless husband, tier father had
oast her off. and she had been living
hundreds of miles from him. She had
felt tho bitterness of the slights put
upon her. but had realized that tho sit
uation could not be changed for the
better by open resentment. She hadn't
lived her real life, but a false one. and
had thus cou.c to be an enigma to such
as were Interested enough to discuss
When the money came the widow set
about getting even with Iloopervllle
There wns no malice In It. hut Just a
sense of satisfaction. A bridge over
tho river had long been unsafe, but the
taxpayers had hung off about repalrlug
It, trusting that the Lord would divert
all the accidents to other bridges.
The widow hired a lawyer to take
the matter up. and the bridge was con
demned and replaced by a $0,000 struc
ture. The taxpayers howled.
She hired a surveyor to go over the
lines of the streets, and It was discov
ered that all the store fronts encroach
ed and that hardly a fence occupied Its
legal position. All encroachments were
ordered removed.
The spire of the Methodist church
edifice bad a decided leaning townrd
sunrise. The widow set the law at
work, and It cost the congregation $700
to bracc up its spire.
There whs an old ordlunnce ngalnst
hitching horses to shade trees. That
was also suddenly enforced nnd $50 lu
flues collected the first day.
There was another about chimneys
being cleaned every year. Nearly 100
house owners were brought to court
aud lined Sfi on their admissions that
their chimneys bad not been cleaned
for ten years.
There was a dead ordinance about
the use of profane language In public.
The Widow Wakefield revived It nnd
had sixty men fined the first day.
Among them were the mayor, all tho
aldermeu and the Judge who Inflicted
tho Ones.
"Moses, what on enrtli Is the woman
nt?" tlic good wife of Deacon I'otcrs
would ask after each new more.
"She's paying uh back, I guess."
"Hut It don't seem as If she could do
mueb more."
"You wait and see. Wlint was It you
called ber?"
"An enigma."
"So 'twas. Waal, you'll learn that
they'vo got claws. She'll wind up bore
with a grand whoop."
When the day flnnlly came that the
lawyer could suggest nothing more to
upset things he was Instructed to rent
the gristmill, the sawuilll, the tavern
and two stores and tiro dwellings for
a year. The tanner and the cooper
wanted to be counted In, and they
wero accommodated. Tho rent was
paid in advance, and the buildings
locked up and tho industries closed
down.
Then the Widow Wakefield sent to
the city for an auto and chauffeur and
Paris gowns and hats and. dressed In
the latest stylo and regardless of ex
pense, made a slow tour of tbo town
nnd departed from it forever.
"Moses, what has It cost tho town?"
asked the good wife of Deacon Peters.
"About $.10,000, I guess."
"And because she was mad?"
"No. Because she was an enigma,
or whatever critter you call It. Gol
darn their tides!"
