* IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Woman’s Rotary Club Takes Up Work of Year Organization Gains Prominence Through Its Efforts for Service. Bv JULIA C. HENDERSON. The Woman's Rotary Club resumed its after-holiday sessions with the regular meeting today in the Florentine room of the Claypool Hotel. This meeting .was devoted to business and getting acquainted with members recently elected. This is distinctly a business woman’s organization, and although a comparatively new club, having been organized only since 1919, it stands in high rank with its members, many of whom are prominent in literary, social and other club life of Indianapolis. Almost with one accord the members acclaim it their choice among clubs. The camaraderie, the absence of formality, the unselfish spirit, the lending of one's self to boost another, the frank and open discussion of questions brought before the ciub make an appeal to .the business woman, who through it all is getting a perspective on life as played tu the busv marts of every-day city life. The club consists of one representative from each distinct line of business or profession. It demands from its members fair dealing, honest methods and high standards in business. Each member is expected to be benefited by contact with representative women engaged iu the differnt occupations and to be so profited thereby that she may meet more intelligently the responsibilities o*civic and business life. Membership in the Woman's Rotary Club is deemed by its members a privilege and an opportunity and carries with it the responsibility of honest and efficient service .and thoughtfulness for one's fellows. The basis of Rotary is fellowship, friendship and service. Service, not only to its members in forwarding their interests, lending a _ helping hand in emergency, rejoicing in their successes, voicing encouragement at all responding to their appeal when ivut also extending this same m Mf it • -til, a Hner place of abode. f The officers of the club for 1922 are: “Mrs. Myra R. Richard, president: Dr. Jane M. Ketchum and Miss Anna Nicholas, vice presidents; Miss Gertrude For rest, recording secretary; Miss Emma Colbert, corresponding secretary: Miss Florence Coffin, tea surer; Miss Eleanor Barker, parliamentarian.

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

PRECEDING CHAPTERS. Richard Hunter and a girl named Faith, respectable passengers bound for Australia on the schooner Raid Eagle, suddenly find themselves at the mercy of a mutinous crew, craze ! with drink. lleadod by a burly brute named Jansen, the maddened men threw Captain White overboard and took charge of the vessel. Richard Hunter had been entrusted by Captain White with the knowledge of a large sum of money concealed on hoard ship which was to be delivered to tv relative. It was this loot which Jansen and his crew were after. Hunter persistently refused to reveal the hiding place of the gold, for he had faithfully promised the captain to deliver it to the rightful owner iu case anything happened. The battle which Hunter and the girl had to tight on shipboard resulted in the death of two of the crew, and the man and girl succeeded in escaping to tho shore near which the pirates hud anchored the ship, taking the gold with them. Tiie crew then destroyed the schooner and land on the same island where another skirmish follows in which Hunter drives tiie men away to another lauding. Take up th® story ut tiiis point.

Chapter V — Con. Then at sight of his darkening face she drew hack, abashed at wnstt the had said. "Uh, I beg your pardou. i didn't mean—" "it’s nothing," he muttered, puffing at his pipe. “ —only you rubbed sail Into n raw place. I don’t know why 1 am idiot enough to do it, but I'm going to tell you something. After all, it does not matter.” She was busy with another leaf, and after waiting a moment, said softly • ''Sometimes it's bettor to get things off your mind—don't you think? But then I have no right to pry into your a'fairs, so " “No matter, 1 can put the whole thing In a dozen words. I was one of those fools who put his whole faith and everything else In a woman. I went overseas with tin* understanding that we would wait till after tho war. 1 had a long, affectionate letter from her dated on the very day she sklpp-d out with one of my very best friends. That's the story. 1 didn't know this till I got back eager to find her. She’d been married several months when I got home.’’ “Bad enough." Faith commented quietly. “But what a lucky man you were I” "Lucky!” he exclaimed. “How do you make that out?" “Suppose you had married her and then It had happened?" Then she continued softly, with her eyes resting on her hands folded In lu*r lap “And so for the act of thess two, you condemn the Whole of mankind —especially womankind. Is that fair?” Hunter made no answer. He puffed away ut his pipe, half-relieved, halt ashamed that he had g:ven confidence. “Such things have to te,” 1 iith went on dreamily. “This la a great big world, with lots of peoplo In It. and some of them must be—that way. Remember, what Marcus Aurelius said? "When thou art offended with any man's shameless conduct, Immediately ask thyself, Is it possible, then, that shameless men should not be iu the world. ... l>o not, then, require what is impossible.' " He knocked the ashes from Ills pipe, gave n little r irug as though pulling himself together, and growled: "Darn Marcus Aurelius!" She regarded him with a veiled expression lu her eyes of half-compassion, half amusement, as he got up and stumped off toward the Inlet. That night Faith slept soundly, awakening at daylight indignant that Hunter had watched the night through without calling her to relieve him. “I am going to got some sleep today.” he met her scoldings, “just as soon as we have something to eat Then yoj may stand guard; but he careful not to expose yourself, and keep close to camp. I've got a hunch that those fellows are not far off,” “Nothing stirring last night?" "Nothing unusual. Now, If you will get things ready for cooking, I'll get some fresh water." Althctugh Hunter's eyes were heavy with the desire for sleep. when he stretched himself on the ground he found It difficult to compose himself. The events of the preceding day or so kept running through his mind Tho problem before him of protecting the girl was a serious one. Had he been alone, he would have put to sea in the yawl, trusting to the chance of meeting some vessel: but with the girl on Uls hands he shrank from taking that risk, for, in addition to tho usual dangers of the sea In an open boat, there was the probability to be considered of perishing from hunger and thirst. Then, too, he felt that if they could only outwit their enemies for a little while, there was always the hope of rescue hy a passing ship, for they surely could not be very far from the lanes of marine traffic. Here they nt east had plenty of water, and no doubt they could manage to get food of soma sort when they should run Rhort, orco they were free to look for it. He took no comfort from the fact that they had not been disturbed during the night, attributing that to the likelihood of Jansen s not yet having gotten hls bearings. And so he grew more restless, and then the face of the blue-eyed girl who had deserted him began to intrude Itself upon him, to be driven out with n memtally muttered oath; always replaced by the slim, boyish figure In the baggy

trousers, with Its steady and wistful gray eyes. He turned on hls side and stole a glance at her, through half-closed lids She was moving quietly about, peering here and there, and as he watched her he grew hot with resentment that she should be subjected to such hardships. And so his last conscious thought happened to be of her as he saw her, now seated on the ground, half turned from him, gaziug out into the forest, wistfully appealing—then he slept. lie awoke suddenly, senses all keenly alive, but with that indescribable feeling of something impending. It was about noon. He looked hastily around. Faith was nowhere to be seen. A sinking, panicky feeling seized him and he had difficulty in controlling himself, to keep from rushing about and shouting her name. Getting himself in hand he took hls rifle and moved quietly down toward the Inlet. Near here, he all but stumbled over her little figure lying prone on the ground, peering from behind a tree, out over the water. He drooped down beside her “In the name of heaven," he muttered, “what are you doing? I told you not to go away from the camp.’’ “Hush,” she whispered. “I’m sorry if I did wrong, but you were sleeping. They're across there. Y'ou can hear them once in a while. Listen.” They could hear Indistinct voices, sometimes "sislng in anger. “Squabbling, of course,” muttered Hunter “I wish they'd get nt it right. If they’d go to cutting one another’s throats it would save us a job.” Hunter and the girl lay listening and watching for some time, but none of the men showed themselves. “When we climbed the side of the mountain,” she returned, “and stood on that shelf-like place, I noticed we were surrounded by good-sized rocks ” "Right. One man up there could stand off a company for a good bit. It won't lie long before that gang of murderers are on this side of the Inlet—let's go.” It did not take long to move their few belongings, Including the gold. When Hunter dug up the latter, he refilled the hole, remarking with a grin that It might afford Jansen some amusement to dig for what was not there, if they stumbled on to the signs of some one having dug there. Their refuge was on a comparatively level, shelf-like place surrounded by large rocks. Not far from them was a spring of clear, sweet water, bubbling from the mountainside. Here, too, they had a fairly good view of the sea. “If we can only get rid of those devils," Hunter observed, “we can keep a tire going at night, which might attract the attention of a passing ship. If one should show up during the day, we : could put out in the yawl. But while that gang Is loose, we're simply tied.” The remainder of that day Hunter spent In closely watching the approach from the little valley to their hidingplace. Os course, there was the possibility of Jansen's men coming upon thm from another direction, along the mountainside, but Hunter thought the chances small. Toward the end of the afternoon he caught sight of a movement below. Bringing hls rifle to bear in that direction, he waited Presently n man peered cautiously from behind a tree, then attempted to dodge to another. The sharp : crack of Hunter’s rifle echoed among the crags, and the man pitched to the ■ ground. The voice of Jansen, himself unseen, ascended In a torrent of oaths. "We'll pit ye. ye bloody murderin’ plrtit—wf'll starve ye out, that's wot we’ll do.” “If I don't pick all of you off flrst.” Ic„ r „d Hunter. “Show yourself. Jansen. Come on, you coward. There's five of : you left against one man and a little girl " Hunter tried to nag them Into an attack. for he believed he could finish them from behind hls shelter, but they were too wary. He was In a cold rage because he conld not leave the girl a’one. If his hands were only untied be firmly believed he | could skirmish round In those woods and j kill every one of those cutthroats But ; 1' he should attempt that and fall, what would become of Faith? Although the girl bore up cheerfully, ' there were shadows beneath her eyes and her face was growirg pinched Hunter noticed this with concern. If she could only hold out—things must change be- : fore long. | Then something happened that gave I him a shock. Faith picked up n tin, and | before he could stop her. started for the spring. She had gone but a few feet, necessarily exposing herself somewhat, when a shot ripped out not far from her She half turned, swayed aud without a sound, fell. Hunter was like something inhuman when he sprang after her. He lifted her i and leaped back ns another shot came from the woods, followed by a hoarse ; laugh. Hunter placed the girl on the : tarpaulin and knelt beside her. Her : face was deathlike and her eyes closed. | If she were dead, the end was not far, ■ find they would pay! From that moment Hunter began to wake. He caught hls breath in a half sob as she opened her eyes and smiled up at him. “I wasn't hit,” she murmured. “I I turned my ankle on a stone. I must be awfully weak to—faint —that——" And fainted again A fainting woman rattles any man, and Just for a minute Hunter was dazed. Then he pulled himself together, seized hls rifle and fired several shots In rapid succession In the general direction of the sniper, thus laying down hls own barrage, caught up the tin, made a dash

Women Who Are Doing Big Things in Washington

riio Hir/A^Ltn<lsDx. Mrs. Mary A. Lindsley, manager of the Grace Dodge Hotel for Women, the largest hotel of its kind In the United States rnn on a commercial basis and catering only to women.

and succeeded In bringing the water. Faith revived to find film kneeling over her, bathing her face. “I’m all right,” she smiled. “I'm sorry I was such a baby." “Hush! Don't you ever try that trick again. Y'ou stay in our little fort, or j I’ll have to tie you. Now, Faith, keep still. I’m going to take off that shoe and bandage your foot with wet cloths, or it'll swell fearfully." He secured the cloth by tearing up one of hls shirts. Hunter watched through the night, refusing to rest, although Faith pleaded to be allowed to taka her turn. He had placed her a short distance behind him. where he thought she would be safer. The night wore away In quiet. In the small hours Hunter heard a slight movement near him, and, turning his head, saw Faith crawling toward him. She came to rest at his side. "Oh,” he whispered, “why don’t you mind? Why didn’t you stay back there and try to sleep and rest?” “Don't scold me,” she begged. “I’m restless and lervous. and It's lonely, and :—I wanted to be here with you.” Unseen in the gloom. Hunter’s eyes became moist. Hhe groped for her hand, found It. They lay silent. watching while from below them rose the eternal Looming of the surf. Faith's ankle did not swell much, but to bear her weight on it caused considerable pain; so when she wished to move about she either crawled or hopped. This she did bravely, but at times it taxed her nerve to keep the twinges of pain that would come from drawing her face Into lines of suffering, and she had : to fight valiantly to make a pretense at Fmiling. Hunter was keenly aware of suffering and hls admiration for her plucky ! spirit showed In hls eyes. ; Water was now a problem. The least exposure on hls part brought the sharp ; crack of a revolver from a sniper. He sternly admonished Faith to keep well under cover. Not knowing how long the ' siege would last, they began to put tt“mselves on rations of food. ! Each made a sly attempt to eat less j than the apportioned lot, and each was 1 discovered by the other. Hunter, not | knowing that Faith was aware of his | own attempt at this generous cheating, i swore roundly when he caught her at the trick, that If he ever should become ; such a contemptible cur as to permit a woman to sacrifice herself for him, he | wanted to he shot. Whereupon she | quietly pointed out to him that she was ns observant at he; then they both laughed and further reduced the allowance under solemn pledge that i would consume the allotted portion, j The second morning after thetr con--1 flnement on the mountainside they saw : the smoke of a steamer on the horizon ! The black smudge was all they saw, and : they watched it In silence until It dis--1 appeared, too heavy-hearted to say a j word. Hunter muttered savagely under j hls breath, but Faith smiled through ! tears. ) “It only shows," she comforted, “that we may expect to get away all In good time—which we surely will do.’’ j “Lord, girl," Hunter sighed, "if I only j had your disposition " j She shook her head. “Perhaps we wouldn’t be alive today.” Then; “Do : you suppose they saw smoke?” “Humph I About the last thing they I want Is to be picked up while we’re alive. They know It would mean the | end of a rope for them.’ | “It seems so strange to me," the girl ' mused, “that men should go so crazy about a little money. They’re risking | everything, their lives—all. And what would they do with It If they get it? | They'd always feel as though someI body were after them. They couldn't ] forget what they'd done —I feel sorry foi I them “Keep your sympathy. Their conscience wouldn’t worry them a minute What they're thinking of is how to enjoy that money, which means to them drinking, carousing, women. When It comes to the results of wrongdoing, | why doesn't the intelllgen' thief, such as | the defaulter, pause before taking such a risk? Fexv get away with It. yet read j the daily papers and see how many foot* ' luere are.” (To Be Continued.)
