Jury Service of Women Calls for New Facilities Courthouses of State Must Be Made Inhabitable for New Citizenry. By JULIA C. HEXDEKSOX. A strange situation has developed In more than one county In the State, which tends to debar women from Jury service, and that is the lack of proper facilities In the courthouses for the comfort and convenience of women. Since the feeling is strong among women that they should accept all the responsibilities of citizenship, among them Jury service, they will see to it that temporary amusements are made for their comfort with a looking-forward to making of the county buildings all they should be for the new citizenry that must occupy them. Early in the life of the late suffrage endeavor in the State one of the principal things advocated ly the State organization was the cleaning up of county courthouses and making them habitable for women. Where new courthouses were built every effort was made to see that they were supplied with everything needed for women’s comfort; restrooms were established, library tables were supplied and such reading matter was placed thereon as would appeal to women. No longer did the tired farm woman have to wait in the dry goods store or grocery, as in former years, until the husband was ready to hie himself homeward. SITUATION IN HOWARD COUNTY. The Jurv commissioners of Howard County, William Miller of Clay Township and Mrs. Jennie MeCune of Center Township, while both strongly in favor of women Jurors are reluctant in selecting women for this service on account of Inadequate facilities for their comfort in the Howard County courthouse. Since women were not drawn for Jury service last year on accohint of a lack of these ( facilities they are determined to get busy and make arrangements so that fhey will not be debarred another year for the same reason. A similar condition prevails in Allen j County but announcement has been made there that the commissioners will remode' the jury room to accommodate This decision came in response from the Teague of Women that such provision be made. It WfA be the first time in the history of PHTlen County that women will serve as jurors in the county courts.

COMMENDS WOMEN FOR ASSUMING OBLIGATION. The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel, in an editorial, commends the women for assuming all the obligations of citizenship Jury service, the newspaper editorial says, is both a duty and a right in which the newly enfranchised voters should take their part an dadds: “In seeing to it that they do so, the Teague of Women Voters is carrying out the whole-hearted policy that marked its efforts to secure the ballot in the first place. Then, not content with the mere possession of the right to vote, the members of the league carried on a pralsevworthy campaign of education among their newly-enfranchised sisters, teachnot only to use the ballot, but how to use it.” Whii? women are not anxious to gain public attention by asking that they be selected as Jurors, it is their desire that they be given the full duties of citizenship and the right to help administer Justice, which they believe oftentimes is misplaced. The calling of women to this service may, while yet new calls forth many unfavorable comments from both men and women who are not as yet converted to woman’s participation In governmental affairs. That the women will prove their ability and worth in such service cannot be doubted by those who have followed their efforts along many lines.

DEVILS UNLEASHED B v EDWIN G. WOOD A Story of Tropical Seas That Will Hold You From Beginning to End

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE. Rlrharit Hunter and a girl mimed Faith, respee.tuhle passengers bound for Australia on board the schooner Bald Eagle, suddenly find themselves at the mercy of the crew, which broke Into mutiny, while crazed with drink. Headed by a brute named Janson, the maddened men had thrown Captain White overboard and assumed charge of the vessel. Richard Hunter had been entrusted by Captain White with the knowledge of a large sum of money concealed on board ship, which was to be delivered to a relative, and It wa sthls loot which Jansen and his crew were after. Hunter persistently .refused to reveal the hiding place of the money, for he had promised the captain to deliver the gold to the rightful owner In ease anything happened. The fight of Hunter and Faith to save themselves and the money Is the gist of previous chapters. They succeed In escaping from the Bald Eagle and land on a nearby island with the gold. The pirates, aroused from their debauch, are now looking for the refugees. Another battle Is Imminent. Lou can now go on with the story.

Chapter IV — Con. “The miserable cowards!" gritted Hunter. “Why didn’t they try to fight that—” His answer came In a *purt of flame, a muffled roar, and flying wreckage about the schooner. When they could see the unfortunate Bald Eagle again, she lay with a heavy list and was settling fast They watched her, fascinated, as she rose and fell on the swell, qulverlngly, gradually and surely going down to her I resting place. She gave a sudden | heave, her stern rising in the air, and j then plunged down, bow first. All that remained in sight was part of her mainmast, which, by some freak of the explosion, was left standing, and now rose above the water, marking, like a tombstone, where she luy. Faith sighed and her eyes were moist “It’s like,” she faltered—“lt’s Just like watching a death." But Hunter paid no attention to tb# girl’s remark His eyes were glued on ‘ the boat, which was now pulling steadily In toward the inlet. When they were within hailing distance, Hunter called, “Hetto, the boat!” They heard Jansen give an order to cease rowing. Then: “Ahoy, there, Mr. Hunter!” "What do you want?” Hunter'* vole* snapped crisply. “Wo wants to com* ashore an’ have a talk with ye." “Vou'll have no talk with me, and yoaH not come ashore here. Go on farther down—the island’s big enough—but keep away from Imre.” "Now, looky here," whined Jansen, “that ain’t no way to treat a shipmate, an’ one wot s been a friend to ye—that’s wot it ain’t. We wants to git water, | too." “There seems to be plenty of water on the island, you’ll get nothing with our* help—but hot lead. Tool] get a-plenty of that if you’re not careful.” “Now, Mr. Hunter, wot sorta way is •that to do? You went an' stole a lot o’ stores an' robbed me’n my mates of the gold. That's mutiny au’ piracy, Mr. Hunter, that’s wot it is.” j Hunter laughed. "Murdering the captain and first mate, wasn't mutiny, 1 suppose.” Jansen began hU old wheedling and pleading, offering all kinds of Inducements to Hunter If he’d give up the gold, and reminding Hunter that his life had been saved by Jansen, the boat in the meantime drifting nearer. To theae mouthing* Hunter made no reply, but there came a sudden spurt of flame, the sharp “spang” of his rifle, and the crackling and flying of splinters from the boat's tiller, within a few inches of Jansen's big red band. “Just a warning,” Jibed Hunter. "It’ll be you next time.” Heeling this gentle reminder to keep off, Jansen yelled an order to his men to "give way,” and the boat veered toward tbe opposite shore of the inlet, “No you don't," shouted Hunter after them. “Get back to sea and bunt another landing. Quick now, before I bore a hde in your rotten carcass!” A chorus of wild and foul oaths followed this command, for they recognized it as such and not a threat, and they had to obey, for they were exposed and Hunter was not. The boat veered again and heeded ont, Jansen calling back: "I’ll git yet, ye d—m’ lubberly swab—a-eheatln' me'n my mates out o’ their dues—l'll git ye!” “Go to It!” Hunter Jeered. “I’ve fought Huns long enough to know how to handle such swine as you.” Faith moaned. “Oh, why don’t they go away and let us alone. They’re strong men, and they've got a inast and sail lying In that boat. Why don’t they go ont to sea and hunt for a ship to pick them up ?” “Not as long as they smell gold,” Hunter answered tearsely.

MRS. EARL BRUNSON KINO. Gaunt, daughter of Mr. and. Mrs. Charles D. Gaunt, 3942 Graceland avenue. Mrs. Edwards’ marriage came as a surprise to her many friends. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Stonehouse, 797 North Tibbs avenue, and her marriage to Mr. Edwards was quietly solemnized in Lebanon Wednesday. All three of the young women will make their homes in Indianapolis.^

ChapterV. That afternoon Faith proceeded to alter the hunting breeches Dick gave her, so that they would at least stay on without her being entirely lost In them. This sha accomplished by cutting off tbe bottoms of the legs and taking up the waist. The result was a very baggy pair of trousers, but it was much better than having her scant wardrobe in tatters when they should be fortunate enough to leave the island—ll that ever happened. Attired in the made-over trousers and a woolen shirt, also commandeered from Hunter, with a belt around her waist and an automatic swinging to it in holster, she looked pretty much like a boy wearing ill fitting clothes. But Hunter decided with one of those swift changes of light in his eyes, that nothing she could wear could in any way conceal the sweet femininity of her. Bbe appeared to him, though, smaller, more fragile; a tiny bit of humanity that needed protection, care and consideration. Then he grew disgusted and resentful of himself that she should so appeal to him. At such times he was inclined to be anything but agreeable, verging on the surly. But if Faith was aware of his moods she gave no outward sign. That wise little head of hers had read him far better than be could have imagined. The fact that the mutineers mnit be loose on tbe islands somewhere, deterred Hunter from making any excursions about the woods. He feared to leave Faith alone, and it would not do to leave their camp, for what they had In the way of food would be in danger, even though Janaen and his men might have had time to provision themselves before leaving the vessel. That they were provisioned there could be little doubt, for. as Hunter pointed out to Faith when she expressed sympathy for the probable destitute condition of the men, no sailor would abandon a ship without food and water if possible to avoid It, and he thought they had time pn ">-v to supply themselves. Faith showed an uneasiness In regard to iiuuter s safety aud several times ventured to caution him. “You may say they want you alive so as to find the gold. But what is to prevent some of them shooting you from ambush in the hope of taking me and making mo tell where it Is?” lie reassured her by telling her that he knew conditions were changed and promising to be very careful. He was more worried on that score than he would let her know, but not on his own account. For his own safety, he was not concerned so much, but when he thought of th possibility of her falling into their hands he shuddered. The fin t night they spent on tho island Fail remarked that she wished she knew tl. i name of their refuge. “Oh," he said carelessly, drawing at his pipe, “call it Any Island and spell It with capitals.” "That’s fine!" she exclaimed, pleased as a child. "Only, let's spell it as one word and call It 'Anylsle.' ” “All #ght," he assented: “anything yod IJke, 1 am afraid, though, I made cue very serious mistake.” She looked at him inquiringly. ”1 think I should have shot every one of those pirates when l had them at my mercy, Rnd had done with it. As It is, they will be a constant menace—six against one man and a woman. I must hare done for the two I hit.” “That," she said slowly, picking up a fallen leaf and plucking It to pieces bit by bit —“that, it seems to me, would have been cruel." “Maybe, but necessary. AU life is cruel, isn't it? The fundamental law of life is cruelty itself—the law of the survival of the attest —not the best; but the strongest, the most wily, or ernfy, he most brutal. In other words, the weak must go to the wall before the strong. Justly or unjustly.” She shook her head “That is Just as you look at It Something has made you morbid, hasn't it?” (To Be Continued.)

The Good Gray Horse, on whose back sat our two jniall heroes, said nothing. Neither did the Pig Without a Wig, but they both did a lot of thinking. The little Robin was the next to speak. “I don’t believe that snipes cave for smoking. I think it's only because his name rhymed with pipe that he took It.” “Do you really?' said the Bombay

"Perhaps he wai only playing a Joke.” "Maybe it will make him sick,” said the pig, taking off hie hat and scratching his head. “My goodness I” exclaimed the Bombay man, “but you're bald.” The pig quickly put on his hr.L "Don’t speak about it,” said Puss Junior In a whisper, "he is very lensltlve.” "If you ever come to India,” said the fat man from Bombay, "you must come to see me. By that time I shall have anew pipe.” And Just then the Robin who had flown off, returned. “1 have found your pipe,” he twittered, "1 tried to lift it. but U was too heavy. Come with me and I will show you where It is.” The fat man from Bomoay Jumped up. “Don't fly so rast, he cried, "I can't run like a deer nor fly like a bird.” And wasn’t he delighted to find his pipe? Well, I Ju;t guess he was. And, although he was all out of breath from running, he at once lighted it and commenced to puff away. He couldn’t help puffing anyway, so I suppose he thought he might as well puff on his pipe. “Farewell, my friend," cried Puss Junior, “now that you have your pipe, my comrades and I will continue on our way.” And next time you shall hear what happened after that. —Copyright, 15)22.

Mr. Hooper had Just come back fronf the telephone, where he had gone toi answer a long distance call from Mr, Allen In the city. "What lid he want I" asked Mrs, Hooper the minute he appeared In the living-room, where they were spending their usual hour after dinner.” “He has had a letter from his brother, who suggests that I come on about a week before the first of the month, as he would like to have me break in to my Job as soon as possible,” answered Henry, “and Mr. Allen thinks it would be wise if I went even sooner than that and found a house before you and the children arrived.” “But do you think you can do it?** Inquired Mrs. Hooper. “I know that I'd rather not decide on a house,” answered Mr. Hooper dubiously, “it would be certain to have all sorts of things the matter with It that I would never notice and that you would see the very minute you laid eyes on them.” fl “But it will be so fearfully expensiv# if we all land in a strange city and have to live at a hotel or boarding I bouse while we look for a place to live,” complained Mrs. Hooper. “Not half so expensive as to settle ia a house that you would discover wa* unfit to live in after I had taken it,” Henry reminded her, "and I don't believe I want to take the responsibility of deciding where It would be best for us to locate.” "No doubt you are right,” agreed Mrs, Hooper, “and In all probability the sensible way will be for you to go on ahead of us as Mr. Allen suggests and then find an inexpensive boarding house where we can live for a week or two until our things arrive. That will give me time to do my house-hunting, which is one of the most Important things faci !ng us when we get there.” ! “Well, then, if I get there Tuesday, , Jan. 24,” said Mr. Hooper, consulting a : calendar, “that will give me Just a week ; before you arrive on the first, and yea ' and the children can stay here until the j new tenant which Mr. Allen is sending I down from the city is ready to move In.” “That is another thing you must do before you leave,” Mrs. Hooper reminded him. “The new tenant wants a lease for a year and you must have the papers ! signed and everything attended to so I won’t have to bothered with it” “We are very lucky to get someone to take the house right away without a day’s loss of time,” remarked Henry, ! "and with a year's lease we will have the place off our minds for a good while.T| “I feel rather better about it when M think of a friend of Mr. Allen having the house,” said Mary softly. “I imagine they will take care of it and love it” “Oh, another thing Mr. Allen said," Henry went on, “was that they would be down to see the place on Monday, They Just arrived from the West today. I wonder who they are?” “An old school friend of Mr. Allen and his wife, was what he said when I talked with him about the house last week, and when he told me they would want a lease for a year,” was Mrs. Hooper's reply. “One doesn't think of Mr. Allen having any friends that are poor enough to want to live in a house like this,” remarked Mr. Hooper. “Why, Henry,” exclaimed Mrs, Hooper indignantly, “that sounds Just like what Helen would say. I've always felt rich living in this house.' The menus for the three meals on Sunday are:
