Women Usurp Male ‘Rights’ by Activities Show Increasing Interest in Politics, Society and Welfare. By JULIA C. HENDERSON. Aii Sesen of this city and State are I Inreilf day manifesting the Important part femininity is taking in social, political and welfare work. Under one hotel roof yesterday three groups of women assembled for purposes which only a few years ago were reserved for men. One group commemorated the anniversary of the great Democratic leader— Andrew Jackson —and celebrated the achievements of his party. Anorher group met in the interest of au important welfare work—the raising of $400,000 in Indiana for Jewish citizens in the warstricken regions of central and' eastern Europe. Still another group assembled was the Woman’s Rotary Club—representing women engaged in business and professional work. The Jackson day luncheon, given by the Democratic women of the State under the auspices of the women's State committee, brought together kindred souls who rejoiced because their party had come to the fore in the recent campaign, and, in the Indiana municipal elections, had succeeded in putting into office nearly twice as many mayoralty candidates as the opposing party and that, of the women elected for the first time to public office in the State, more than three-fourths were from the Democratic party. Speeches at the luncheon were scintillating and full of promise for the future of democracy. Vital questlori concerning the saving of a famine-stricken people were discuss a by the women’s* division of the Jewish war relief as they met to hear James H. Becker of Chicago appeal for aid In raising $403,000 as Indiana's quota of the $14,000,000 national fund for relief work suffering Jewish people ot centjJßnd eastern Europe. of the Jewish women of jJ|BKpolis, their loyalty and patr '•clsra of stress and during the world leaves no doubt as to the response Bfr. Becker will receive from th 200 v. mRn who beard his appeal. * The Woman's Rotary Clnb. a smaller group than the other two. met for a business session, but devoted some time to welcoming recently-elected members.

Miss Genevieve Hughel, cellist; Mrs. Marie Bowen, manager Tripp Warehouse Company; Miss Mary M.

The board of public works insisted the stone wall be torn down because it hugged the sidewalk at the time Illinois street was being permanently Improved past the property. Jlr.

Public Library Is Turned Into Lovely Garden Florists of Indiana Have Annual Meeting and Exhibit. By MABEL WHEELER. The delivery room of the public library was merely a delivery room, a place to deliver books, as it were, yesterday, but today it is a flaming, flaunting old-fashioned garden! Overnight, by a magic touch, flowers, shrubbery, ferns and thick hedges sprang up. There are also stone urns of flowers and trailing vines placed here and there, paths trail around hither and thither, potted plants and high shrubs forming an artistic entrance. The secret of it ail (for of course there is a secret, as there always is to modern magic) is just tills, the florists of ! Indiana are having their annual meeting and exhibit up at the library. The exhibit is only the dramatization of their slogan "Say It with Flowers,” arranged by a few of the association members. i There are a few new varieties of roses and carnations on exhibit, or perhaps ihey would more literally be called reI vised editions of the old favorites. Among the gayest plants are the bright cyclamen, which give the effect of small rose trees. Then there are myriads of primroses. jonquils, and azalias, together with masses of ferns an,l unusual greenery and graceful vines. This afternoon the annual meeting opened at 2 o’clock, the election of of fleers to be a concluding feature. At 6 o'clock a dinner was to be served at the Hoosler Athletic Club for the florists and guests, to be followed ty a theater party at B. F. Keith's Theater. Mrs. L. E. Hitz of Madison is president of the association, and other officers include L. A. Cojes, Kokomo; Mrs. Temperley, Indianapolis, vice presidents; Arthur Heidetirelch, Indianapolis, treasurer; Oscar Curistedt, secretary. A. F. J. Baur, In-dianapoiis, is chairman of general arrangements. PUSS IN BOOTS JR Br David Cory “ Puss Junior and his merry comrades jogged along on their journey of ad venture.

We will cease to praise it In song, however, if you so command,” and with a bow Puss Junior ended his speech. The officer didn't know what to say.

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

SYNOPSIS OF FORMER CHAPTERS. Marooned on a lonely Island In southern waters with a girl named Faith and a bag of treasure which he has promised to deliver to the rightful owner and save from a band of mutinous cut-throats who had thrown tlielr captain overboard and destroyed tire vessel, Richard Hunter is having the fight of his life. In the struggle to save the girl and the gold, Hunter has succeeded In killing several of the mutineers, whose leader is a mar. named dansen. He and Faith have taken refuge on a mountai nledge, where they are being fired at by the mutineers. During the period of hardship through which they have passed, a warm affection between tlie two has been kindled. What follows you may read for yourself.

Chapter I —Con. "I know—but most of them are driven to it by want or something else as strong get Into it by degreees ’’ j “Bosh! Get into It by their own de- ; sires, you mean; their own sticky fingers. ! have no patience with a thief of any kind.” ! Toward afternoon they were both sut- ; sering with thirst. Faith bad resolutely kept Hunter from exposing himself In the attempt to get water, and they had i gone without more than was good. The girl lay on the ground, half-dozing, suffering occasional twinges of pain, her tongue beginning to rasp like a file, j Once or tr ice she could not suppress a groan which was too muck for Hunter. . He got a tin and started for the spring. ; Faith cried out begging him not to go, I but he went on. Two figures sprang up in front of him. seemingly out of nowhere. Hunter fired, and one of the figures tossed its hands In the air, whirled. Ml and went crashing down the mountainside. The girl struggled to her feet and tried to reach Hunter’s side. Other men ap poared and surrounded him. While they were struggling, the girl seeming to target her lame ank'e, ran around the group with her pistol In her hand, trying to get a chance to shoot. In her excitement she approached the slope too closely, her foot turned on a loose stone and she disappeared down the mountainside. Hunter, though attacked f 'om all sides, saw the- girl's struggle to help him. saw her fall, and he fought wit i the fury Oi a crazy man; but it wa i useless. A heavy blow from a g in b itt descended on his head, and he went down, uneorn* scious. When he came to he was lying on h!s back, and there was something under him not quite comfortable. He tried to move and found his hands were tied with a belt taken from one of the sailors. Then he tried bis fee; they were a!t> bound. Tie gazed around. There were three men about him, one being Jansen Cu e of the men had Faith's traveling lag, pawing over her few belonging*. At the sight, he grew hot and clamper, ids te.-th, saying nothing. What would have been the use? Th.cn M* eyes searched for the girl. She was net there. He concluded that she was either dead nr had escaped them. He could be thankful Mr either. Just her a big Swede a pea red and reported •to Jansen that he had searched for the girl and could not find her. Hunter gave an audible sigh of relief. .Tut sen. seeing his car tire was at him s, If. looked at him gloatingly. The mate took a long pull n f bis pipe and Mailing over blew the smoke into Hunter's face. Jansen with the odds against him, wh'ned: Jansen with the upper hand, bullied. Hunter passed the Insnlt; but he swallowed hard, and stared with a cold glitter at Teuton. Just for a moment Jansen shrank. He knew that H' nter, though bound and [ba sically helpless, wa- the master, and like all small minds nn<l cowardly souls, he hated the young man for It. Jansen recovered b’mscif and Jeered “Tic,, ho, my hearty! Got ye, didn't we? An’ we'll git the gal, too. that's wot. Ye can't break Jansen. t can't. He. he! Ye, needn't try It. It's been trie) before. Ready t' toll where that gold Is wot ye stole?” Janen stirred Hunter wi*h his font. Again the young 'nan clamped his teeth and said nothing. "Can't ye talk?" thundered the bully, giving Hunter a vicious kick in the side "By the gods. I'll make ye talk 'fore I'm through with ye." Jansen turned abruptly sway and Ret his crew to preparing su;.- or When 1t was ready, he sat down !>*• Hunter and ate greedily, wiping his greasy month with the back of his hand; taunting Hunter warning him that this was only the beginning; that, after he'd been well starved. If he didn't tell where the gold was hidden, there were still some nice little tricks held in store that Jansen knew well how to use. Hunter ban small doubt of this. The gold meant nothing to Hunter. If he could purchase his freedom with it. he could easily replace the amount lost; but the belief that he would be killed Immediately after the pirates got thetr hands on the money, together with a streak of stubbornness, held him back from giving way. His mind now dwelt on Faith more than anything else. Where was she? Had slip been killed? He saw her fall, but whether she bad l>en wounded or not, be, of course, could not know. If she was free, what chance would she have, one lone girl, lame ns she was, even If she managed to keep out of Jansen's dirty hands? But., a recording to the old saw, “'while there’s life, there's hope." If he could only gain a little time ho might manage

his own escape. Time! the essence of everything. He must play for time. Then the idea occurred to him that he could trick them by telling them that he had buried the gold where he and the girl had first camped—which was true. Something might happen, m'iist happen, while on their way to give him his chance. Os course, if he didn’t get i away before they discovered his trick, they’d make short work of him. But nothing like trying—for, while there's life, there’s hope. So: "Jansen, what sort of deal will you make if I tell you where we buried the stuff?” "Halil" Jansen sprang up. “Now, ye're talkin’ sense. We'll give ye a full share an’ turn ye loose. \i on't we, ma tes ?" "Aye, aye!" chorused the others. Hunter smiled inwardly at their lack of guile in so readily agreeing. "Infernal liars!” he muttered to himself. Then i aloud: "Give me some water, then we’U | talk.” I The water was promptly brought. I “Now," ho went on, "we'll see how well , you keep your promise. I'll take you there in the morning—we couldn't see to find the place tonight.” A howl of impatience went up, “No, ye won’t, me hearty,” snarled Jansen, "ve’ll take us there tonight. Ye don’t play no tricks like that on Jansen — agittin' water an’ then mebbe grub an’ then back out while the gal finds it an’ digs it up. Ye’ll take us there tonight, that's wot ye'll do." “But I tell you,” Hunter Insisted, “that I couldn’t see—” “Don't make no differ'," Jansen growled; “ye'll take us back to that there place tonight, an’ we'll be all shipshape an’ bandy in tho inoruln,’ that’s , wot." I "Ob, all right," nunter yielded. “Untie me. and I'll do the best I can." | His arms and feet were unbound, but no opportunity for escape was given him, I for Jansen, carrying Hunter’s rifle, took or.e arm and the big Swede the other, ; clinging to him as they stumbled down the mountain and blundered through the woods in the direction of the camp. It was Intensely dark in the little valley, put Hunter had a good sense of direction, which was aided by the sound of the surf. He or.ee thought of risking a brpc.lt in the dark, but decided to bide his time. A better chanee would offer later, be thought; more than likely •luring their excitement of digging where the gold was supposed to be. After a time he halted and refused to go any further, still playing for time, pointing out as an excuse that he was likely to miss the locality in the night. Jansen blustered, threatened, begged, but to r.o purpose; so they prepared to rest till daylight. If Hunter had any hope of escape during the remainder of the night, it was cut short, for he was again hound band and foot and left that way till morning. When morning came Jansen unbound Hunters feet, but insisted on leaving hi* hands tied. "I .ain't takin’ no more chances on you, nm buckoo.” he snarled. ■ If you been double-crossin’ me'n my pals, ye'll soon be beggin' me to kill ye, that's wot." Hunter, heavy - hearted, did not resist. The game was nearly played, anyway. He'd wait until they go to the camp, then refuse any further assistance till his hands were freed. He had followed the course better than ho knew, for they had gone but a short distance when they came upon the charred embers of the old camp fire. "Now 1" snarled Jansen, Jerking him around roughly, "show us the place. ’ "I'ntle my hands and I will." Jar s-n bared bis yellow teeth and put the rifle muzzle within a few inches of Hunter's head. “No more foolin', and n 3'e. Speak up, or I'll blow yer lubberly brains out." “Shoot 1" said Hunter coolly. Jansen hesitated and Hunter's hopes rose. Just then a shout came from one of the men a few feet from them. Here's whore somebody's been a dlggin'." Hunter’s little joke of refilling the bole 1 had acted as a boomerang. The evi donee he bad left had been too plain. , ‘•Ha!" shouted Jansen savagely, and then be and the Swede threw him to the ground and bound bis feet. "Reckon that'll hold ye, an' if the gold ain’t < there, ye better pray to die 'fore we j thuds It out." Jansen droppfMl hls t\u& non till fell to digging furiously, one of the men i tearing at the earth with his bare fin- i gors. the others using knivps. Hunter groaned and strained at his bonds till they cut him. No use. The dirt was flying and the hole growing deeper. Soon they'd discover the trick, and then the end. His little ruse had failed, and he was caught in his own trap. It would take a miracle to save him now, and it would have to be a swift one. “Don't move, anybody! Drop those! knives and put your hands over your j heads —qul ’k i" Tho voice was tremulous, weak, but there was a ring of determination in it. Tho sudden leaping of Hunter’s pulse almost choked him. The miracle bad happened 1 He turned his head and saw Faith partly conc*aled by the undergrowth, holding -r automatic in a line with Jansin's st' ,iach. The expressions on the faces of .Tansen and his cutthroats were ludicrous —astonishment. fear, hatred—as they held their hands stiffly above their heads. ! Four big men held up by a frail girl! ! But a bullet fired by a baby's hand is as ] deadly as any other, and they were fairly i caught. Jansen's face suddenly took on a ! grieved look—his old tactics. “Now, j

looky here, Miss Jameson, that ain’t no way ” “Shut up, JaDsen—whining will do yqu no good.” snapped the girl, her face white and pinched. “Turn around, all of you. Now move ahead till I say stop. Now—halt 1” Hunter had said no word, his eyes ashine with admiration. What a girl she was, what a plucky little girl 1 And what a fool he had been to class all women alike . Then he broke into a loud laugh. “Steady, Dick!” called the girl, as she picked up one of tho knives and slashed the belts binding his wrists and ankles. Hunter rubbed his arms to restore the circulation, then recovered his rifle and disarmed Jansen and his men. "Keep ’em up," he cautioned. And they kept them tip. "What next, General?” He turned to Faith with a smile and a salute. “Don't joke. Dick,” she faifered. "I m not joking. I think you’ve earned the right to have a say-so.” "Then make those men carry our provisions down to their boat—lt. has a sail. I think we have food enough to last a few days—” "All right," Hunter ro'uetantly agreed. "I guess we’ll have to take that chance. • -As for food, if we haven't enough we'll take It from these pirates—” “Now, looky here —” "Shut up, Jansen. I don’t like to hit a man when he's down, but if you open your trap again I'll give you tho worst clubbing you ever had in your miserable ! life, if the four of you who are left I can’t, dig a living out of this place for a j few days, then starve. You'd better be praying that you can't be found here when we’re picked up, for we'll send for you—and you know what that means. Now get busy loading those supplies. Move I" "My traveling-bag Is right out here,” Faith nodded toward the place where she had so suddenly appeared. Not a hand did Hunter turn to anything. He drove Jansen and his men slave fashion, till the boat was ready. ! Hunter let them have the yawl and twp | oars, cautioning them to keep away from j It until he and the girl were well away, or his rifle would take care of them. There was little need of caution. Jansen and bis gang were whipped and knew it. As their boat was drawing well away. Hunter cupped his hands and called back- " Maybe you'd like to know, Jansen, that the gold you were after, is in the bag j you yourself carried to the boat for us!" i As tho to compensate them for their trials, the weather held fine, with a smooth sea and Just enough wind to bowl them along without, making the boat troublesome to handle. They stecf'-d by the sun during the day and the stars at night, to keep a general course. It was the afternoon of their second ! day out. All was so peaceful, tho their position was critical, that they had talked little. Words seemed to them to be out of place. Hunter did urge Faith to give an account of her experience after she fell, to which she replied: "There isn't anything to tell. I slipped and went over the side of our little flat place, rolled down a little way and landed in something like a hollow where it was thick. I crawled further into this thicker and lay still— I was awfully dizzy. Thai big Swede passed right near me, but didn't see me. "''"uen It got dark I crawled up to where I could hear you and Jansen talking. I heard what you told him. When you left with him, I got back to the rocks, got the gold and put it In my bag. Then I followed the direction of water, sometimes craw-ling, sometimes hopping, then limping, till I heard you again. If you hadn't stopped when you did and refused to go on, I might have lost you for keeps, but I heard Jansen bullying when he tried to make you go on. “I was scared stiff that night—afraid ; I'd make a noise and be found oat. Next ; morning my foot wasn't so bad as I expected it to be, end so I managed to work around to where I did in time—to do what I did.” “Why. you little Indian—you brave little Indian!" exclaimed Hunter. “Faith," he added tremulously, “I've been a great fool. I don't know whether you could ever look on me as anything else—but won't you try? You've taught ma a wonderful lesson; won't you keep on teaching me after we get out of this —ls we ever do?” ‘ Faith placed one' of her hands over his. which was resling on the tiller*. “Oh, we'll got out of this!" she cried, her eyes shining. “We will!" And as if in confirmation of her words, a thin grayish wisp of smoke streaked the horizon, growing larger and denser as it came directly on toward them. THE END.

Follow them dally in an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of Uvlng with them.] TUESDAY. The proposition of the Seldens to rent the house furnished had thrown the Hoopers into another spell of uncertainty. Henry was eager to accept Mrs. Selden's offer to take the place Just as it stood. He argued with Mrs. Hooper that It would save them all the trouble of packing and the expense of shipping their j things and that they could buy new furi niture In the city that would fit their ueeds perhaps better than what they al- | ready owned. ! “You may get a house In the city with very small rooms, Mary," he said finally, “and have a lot of things on your hands with no place to put them. X can't for the life of me see why you hesitate about turning the whole place right over to the Selder.s and starting all new in Indianapolis." “But it will cost such a lot of money to replace all the things we need with which to live comfortably,” insisted Airs. Hooper, “and If we pick up and leava everything here I don’t see very well how we w-tli have money enough to furnish a six-room house in the city.” “But we will have the extra rent that will add very much to onr Income every month,” urged Henry, “and we could buy Just what we absolutely needed at first and then get other things as we went along.” ' “We haven’t even any idea how much rent to ask them for the house furnished,” said Airs. Hooper helplessly. “I don't see what Mrs. Selden wants our old things for anyhow. She seems so stylish. I never saw such clothes and her fur coat was fearfully expensive." “We'd better ring up Mr. Allen about 11 o’clock when he Is In his office," suggested Air. Hooper, “and ask him frankly what we ought to do and what would be right to ask the Seldens for rent if we decide to let them have the house furnished." “I think that will be an excellent idea.*ngreed Mrs. Hooper. “I'm absolutely a* I sea as to what would be the best arrangej ment for us financially, but I just feel as if it would be the last straw if I had to go away and leave all my things here as well as the house.” “Well, at least it would save you the heartbr“hk of tearing everything up.” remarked Henry, “and I'm sure th* things would never seem the same in another hou>e. Besides you could go away then with the memory of the house aa it always has been." j “There is something in that I suppose." answered Mrs. Hooper dubiously, “but I'm still wondering where we will get money to buy new furniture.” "You forget Mary that the money we plgnnei to pay for freight and packing and moving will buy a number of pieces o! furniture and then we have the greater part of that thousand dollars to get settled with.” “All right, ask Mr. Alien what he thinks.’’ said Mrs. Hooper resignedly, "and I'll abide by his decision.” “You'd better talk to him I think." suggested Henry. “Y'ou know better than I just what information you want." Mrs. Hooper’s conversation with Mr. Allen on the telephone only gave them material for further discussion though he gave them a definite answer as to what they should charge the Seldens if they i decided to rent the house furnished. I “Not a cent less than $125 if Airs. Selden wants it furnished.” Mrs. Allen had said emphatically. "They can easily afford to pay that and if Airs. Selden doesn't want the trouble of selecting new things she will be perfectly willing to pay well for using yours," he had added. But he had gone right on with the suggestion that they sell their furniture to the Seldens if they would buy it, which he seemed to think was even a better proposition than renting the place furnished. "If they intend to keep the place only Mr a year," he had said to Mrs. Hooper, “you will have all that furniture turned back on your hands then, after you have bought new things. You might not be able to find a tenant again who would want to rent the house furnished or who would pay you as much as the Selde'ns will i? they are willing to buy it. Put a price on your furniture and ask them to Like it off your hands before you offer to rent it furnished.” “How much do you think I ought to ask them for the furniture,” asked Mr*. Hooper. “Y’ou know I never dreamed of such a thing as ever selling It so I haven't any idea what it's worth.” “I can’t help you about that. Airs, nooper,” laughed Mr. Allen, “because I haven’t any Idea as to its value, but if It is antique and in good condition It U valuable.” The menus for the three meals oa Wednesday are.
