Women S Homes in Paris

At the Instance and expense OF Miss
Helen Gould. DR.. and Mrs. William H..
Talman studied sociological problems in
Europe this summer. Some observations
made by Mrs. Talman are Of much inter-
est. She says:
''rhe most beautiful thing I saw in Eu-
rope were the homes for self-supportng
women in Paris. The home. or club,
which 1 visited in Paris was surrounded
by beautiful garden. about 100 feet by
4. and the walls were covered with ivy.
IL had single bedrooms with hot and
cold water and electric light. and though
baths are at a premium in Europe there
were three in the house. no extra charge
being made for them except the amount
Of water rates. There was a beautiful
tea room. where the girls entertain their
trends of both sexes, and dances. at
which men are also received. are given
frequently. These functions are always
attended by the managers, not apparently
because they think It their duty to be
present. but because they enjoy Il.
THE doors Of the club are not closed at
| 10 o'clock. When returning from the
opera or theatre it is only necessary 20
ring the bell to be admitted by the porter,
and the affair causes no more comment
than If the girl were returning to her own
home. In fact, the place Is her home. and
to me 1t seemed like fairyland. Such in
5tituhons are to be found all over France
and are carried on without the slightest
ado and fuss, such as often characterize
undertakings of this kind
This home. Mrs. Toleman said. tempo.
rarily shelters without charge those who
are temporarily without employment oi
means. and conducts an employment
bureau. Commenting. she said that, with.
out desiring to institute any odious com
parison. the French homes for working
girls should, m her opinion, be initiated
in America. She thinks it work which
should be undertaken by women.

The highest praise old timey people
could bestow on a little boy OF girl was
that he or she was a 'biddable child"
That may be a credit to q child. but it
is by no means so TO a woman. In
general women are far too "biddable"
even TO this day. They are in bondage
to husbands. doctor or minister. some
times TO all three. but always TO the
masculine sex. Not one woman in a
thousand knows the JOY Of exercising
her own will or the resistless. splendid
power of it when she does exercise it.

military cloak slung across it's shoulders, rushed upon the scene.
 Captain, you arc to join Col. Besse- mer at once near the old stone wall back of the meadow. He fears an attack from the Americans, and every man is needed at his post. Do not delay a second"
 But, Lieut.. Ellery, what about this fellow7 We are to hang him.
 'Leave him to me. I will attend to this man."
 "But shall I not leave some of my men with you, sir? He might prove troublesome"
 The lieutenant drew his slim figure up to it's full height. while into his lispfng tones, heretofore somewhat breathless, he threw naughty imperi- ousness. What, has the British army fallen so low that British lieutenant is not match for one poor rebel prisoner with his hands bound? 'Tis sad state of affairs. I advise you not to stand quibbling here, captain, when your colonel expects you"
 The captain looked troubled. Though nominally superior in rank, he knew that young Ellery's position, as Besse- mer's favorite, was far superior to ! his own. He had no wish to offend the lieutenant, much less to disobey orders the colonel might have sent by him, but the proceedings were most irregular.
 "If I leave the prisoner in your hands, sir, you will be personally responsible for him?'
 Certainly" the other answered brusquely.
 Still reluctant, the captain gave the command and marched his men off through the woods in the direction the lieutenant had indicated.

and in time, when they had given sat isfactory evidence of change of heart, advised that they should be baptised. The rite was finally accom- plished in the presence of many of the Indians, who had assembled in the school house for public worship.
 On the following day planter passed through the village with load of watermelons for sale. The chaplain on duty with the Indians purchased several melons from the man and pre- sented one each to the new converts. who happened to bs with him.
 The act Sas prompted purely by kindness, but it was not so understood by the simple minded people. The news spread quickly through the vil- lage that the converts, Hard-Smeller and Straight-Horn, had been rewarded by gift for receiving the rite of bap- tism The tribe rose to its feet as one man, metaphorically speaking, and ex- pressed it's willingness to accept the rite on the same terms Hard-Smeller and his companion endeavored to cor rect the misapprehensiOn, but the peo- pie refused to believe them. They had been caught in the act of accepting a gift from the chaplain, and no other cause for this exceptional kindness, ex- cept their submission to baptism. was apparent to the untutored mind of the poor Apaches.
 Both chaplains were immediately thereafter subjected to liberal propos- l als, wholesale and retail, by Indians who desired to submit to the rite of baptism for 8 consideration similar to that which they believed had been ac- corded to HardSmeller and his dough- ty companion.
 The failure of the Indians to drive the bargains they proposed, and the lapse of the watermelon season soon after the. Hard-Smeller incident, had 1 doubtless much to do with the suspen- sion of interest suddenly awakened in | tue teachings of the chaplains. H. R. BRTNKERHOFF, | Lieut.. Col. U. 8. A., Retired.

"You refuse, then?" She turned away with the air of an empress, drawing her cloak about her, and apparently forgetful that she wore not sweeping trains, but trod in- stead in dragoon boots.
 Bessemer's breath came more quickly. One moment, my queenly Jane," he interposed. 'You seem roost ready to accept refusal at my hands, which makes me think that after all the bargain you offer is not SO bad. You are a most enchanting puzzle. One instant, | am convinced your heart is all this rebels; yet, were it so, methinks you would not be so willing to abandon your at- tempt to buy his life. And if l do agree to give his life in exchange for your plighted word, what then? Is it to be understood that I am to have the right to claim you for my wife whenever I so choose? l am no believer in long engag gements, nor in procrastination either in love or war; nor do l propose to be put off with one excuse and another. Come, Jane, if I let this fellow live, will you be mine on any day that I may set, or at any moment that seems to me most expedient?" ?"
 Jane turned slowly. Have you not my word?" she demanded. II won- der that you care to wed one whom you seem to trust so little: but since you wish to add another to your de- rnands. I will consent provided you permit me to add to my conditions. 1 will agree to marry you whenever you shall choose upon the promise that you not only spare Capt. Worth ington's life upon this occasion, but that you bind yourself to never again strive to take it from him except in fair fight upon the field of battle"
 Upon my word," he remarked, sneeringly, this friend Warrington of yours seems to stand nightly in need of feminine protection. It is usual to expect that an able-bodied man will have sufficient prowess and bravery to fight for the preserva- ton of his life himself without having to be hedged about with de- lenses brought by woman"

MELON CONVERTS
Geronimo's Conversion Recalls ap
 Amusing Reminiscence.
Gift of Waterme1ons to Two COn- verts Who Had Been Baptized Created a MtsaDprehensAon
 Among Rest of tho Tribe.

The news of the conversion to Chris uanity. and the baptism of the cele- brated Apache chief. Geronimo, recalls some interesting episodes in the his tory of the old warrior and his people.
 After many years of almost constant depredations upon American frontier settlements, these Bedouins of the bor- der mountains of the southwest were captured, while on one of their pre- datOry excursions, by troops under Gen. Miles. Soon after their capture the general caused the entire tribe. men. women and children, to be marched to the nearest railroad station and shipped thence bodily by rail out of the reach of the mountain region 1n which they had previously found con- cealment
 The tribe reached Fort Leavenworth, Kan, in due time and was placed in camp on the military reservation, For time the Indians seemed well con-
 tented, but they grew restless at length and many of them began to wander about at distance from their camp, hoping, doubtless, to escape observa~ ton of the guards and eventually be
 able to make dash for liberty. The war department being advised of these indications determined to an ticipate such possible venture by send ing the tribe still further away from their old haunts Mt. Vernon bar
 racks, Ala, was selected for the pur- pose and the Indians were at once 1 hurried to this historic place, where they were placed in log cabins built In the pine forests adjoining the barracks. In this forest, and under the same trees, doubtless, an American force under Gen. Wilkinson encamped for
 some time in 1913, previous to his cap ture of Mobile from it's Spanish gar rison.
 A school house was erected in the Indian village and two or three Ameri-
 can teachers were employed to instruct the children. An army chaplain was
 ordered to the village to superintend
 the school and instruct the Indians in l the elements of Christian ethics. The barracks at the time was gar l risoned by the United States troops,
 and chaplain was on duty with them
 The two chaplains from the first were 1 Zealous in their efforts to convert the 1 Indians to Christianity. and labored among them untiringly with that ob- ] ject in view The efforts of one of the
 reverend gentlemen were at last l crowned with some success, and cou- 1 pie of Indian warriors expressed de- l sire to live Christian lives. The chap | lain warmly welcomed the converts,

CHAPTER XII.
THE BARGAIN.

"Jane," said Warrington. quietly, when they had gone. 'do you know the terrible risk you are running in this mad attempt?''
 In her tomboyish days he had more than once seen Jane dressed in her brothers clothes and heard her skilfully mock his voice and ways, for in truth. Jane had no little talent as an actress. On her part, she evinced no surprise at his recogni tion.
 "Yes," she answered to his question, drawing her cloak about her to con ceal as much as she could her male attire, "I know it all, but I do not care. do not even care that l have just implicated my brother in way that may make it most difficult for him to extricate himself. I must, I will save you, and when that is done I shall go to Col. Bessemer and tell him all.''
 What will you tell him?" Worth ington asked.
 "I shall tell him that I could noN permit him to commit a ruthless murder; to soil his hands with blood in this cruel fashion,
 The American drew back "Ah. that is it.' he said bitterly. Tt is to save him from murder, to keep his hands unsmirched, you do it; it is for his sal1e-I might have known" She had unbound his arms by now, and stood off from him. Capt. Worthington, permit me to advise you f." %00 at nngp"ee er,e, ,,sc,.,,,,r,,,,,- .,.o and leave you to face alone the con sequences of your rash action? No; 1t might be that Col. Bessemer would not properly appreciate the effort you have made to prevent his doing that which is his chief daily amuse- | ment. ! shall seek the gentleman and put myself again into his hands, with the request that he make quick work of me-"
 "Godfrey!"
 Even that very dull young man conld not fail to interpret the cry of pain and entreaty. "Jane!" He she snatched them from him.
 "Oh, go," she besought. If ever you cared for me, if ever l was aught to you, go. Do you not see that my heart is breaking with fear?"
 ''Is it possible you do care for me Jane?" he asked, too flushed with sudden joy to have mind for aught l else. ''Is it not Bessemer you love. after aI1?''
