THE MODERN WOMAN.
VI-Socia1 Freedom Of American Women
BY Frederic ]. Haszin.

ms Ialiure to recognize certain moral
opilgations has been Interpreted by q
rev OF the parasitic class as an excuse
TOR Sinking all duties and responsible
erty which 1t should be woman's high
est glory to improve. The freedom from
the old-tfme subsection to her husband.
"nlch the American woman emphasizes
continually, has been brought about by
the modern theory of indiyiduaIism
which Is stronger In America than in any
other country. 1t is sometimes so gross
ly abused that its advantages are oues-
toned, but to the optifnist even this
ABUSE is a process in the evolution by
wnlch the progress of the whole race is
being developed.

AYERS that no objections are on record
from men which would hinder. a woman
from engaging in any laborious piece of
work which was not attractive from the
STANDPOINT OF remuneration. She claims
that men object only to the professional
woman who commands an income he
would feign enjoy for his own expendi-
ture: The woman doctor, who keeps her
own carriage and has a list OF patients
yielding an annual income running into
the thousands, is the cause of the strong
protest made by men against the free
dom of women to choose their own call
ings.
Mrs. Schreiner is better acquainted with
Englishmen than Americans: but the OBJ
lection which was made recently by a
member of the American Society of En-
gineers to young women being permitted
to take a course In mechanical engineer
ing was based In his statement, "Amer-
lean men are too ,chiyalrous to wish
women to do suchsunpleasant work" The
chivalry does not. however, as yet apply
to the unedueated women who are pef-
mitted to work in some Of the great steel
mills of this country, separating sheets
of steel under conditions that most men
would deem decidedly laborious. Despite
the occasional objection, the American
woman isseXercising her liberty to choose
her own calling absolutely and, whatever
his mistakes. her freedom cannot be cur
tailed.

the individual the broader her vision of
life. the better able she is to understand
the needs not only of her immediate
family, but of the entire nation When
her family circle no longer requires her
active service-and in America more than
in any other country the changing con-
ditions of modern life give to many
women the leisure to enjoy this liberty
she no longer idles within the confines of
her home with a bit of useless embroid
eg. She goes boldly out into the broad
world seeking the wrongs she may right
and the needy she may help. This femi-
nine Sir Galahad In her growing strength
each year opens the doors Of grim fac
tories in order that thousands OF little
children may have freedom in the fresh
air and sunshine. She provides them
generously with Fairgrounds and schools
and with proper care for their neglected
little bodies. She goes to the aid of her
less fortunate sister, making her hours
conditions easier. Secure in her own
freedom, she can even lend helping
hand to the woman who sins and open to
her one time hopelessness an avenue to
future we'll being. 1t is the freedom that
has come to woman which makes pos
er her liberty the narrower her oppor-
tunities for general helpfulness.
Unfortunately, there Is a reverse side
to this picture. in which few women
abuse this liberty which SO many are
using gloriously. The modern woman is
her ancestors. The obligation of toiling
for her family. of bearing children, of
being in subsection after the admonition
OF st. Paul NO longer rests ppon her.

American women enjoy greater de-
gree of social freedom than do the wom-
en- of any other nationality. AS result
they have a courage and an independence
which no other women possess. Because
the American woman has been trusted
from her earliest girlhOod, she demon
strates her ability accurately to distin-
guish liberty from license and to protect
herself from unwelcome advances. In
Europe a woman is dependent upon her
husband for every kind of social recog-
milton. In America it is the woman who
practically determines every social land
mark The American man., busy with
commercial and industrial interests, gives
little heed to social matters except as
they are forced upon his attention by the
women Of his family. The American
woman has absolute freedom. in all mat
tiers pertaining to social conventions and
no man dare criticise her rulings.
In Europe the girls of the family are
second in importance to their brothers.
If there Is money enough to give liberal
education to all of the children the girls
receive it; If not, the boys are educated
first and the daughters pick up whatever
desultory learning they can absorb with
out any drain upon the family pocket
book. In America it is not unusual to
hear a man remark, ~ cannot afford to
send both of my childre. to college. SO /
have decided to give my daughter the
preferences man can more easily make
his own way in the world. =" Every Amsrk
can girl as far as her circumstances per-
init is privileged to choose her own
mode of life and her own calling if she
desires one. Society smiles upon her as
long as she is attractive and there are
few barriers of prejudice to make her
path difficult. From her babyhood she is
a princess royal to, whom her father and
brothers pay continual homage. AS she
grows older and her circle OF male sac-
quaintances enIarges, she increases the
number of her devoted protectors.

CHAPTER xXxvHI.
At Camp Supply.

There are yet living in that great
Southwest those who will retell the
story Of Hamlin's ride from the banks
of the Washita to Camp Supply. 1t
remains one Of the epics Of the plains,
one Of the proud traditions Of the
army. To the man himself those hours
Of danger, struggle and WEAKNESS,
were nor a dream than a reality.
He passed through them almost un-
consciously. a soldier performing his
duty In utter forgetfulness Of self,
nerved by the discipline of years of
service, by the Importance Of his mis-
sion, and by memory Of Molly Melon
aid. Love and duty held him Keeling
in the saddle, brought him safely to
the journeys end.
Let the details pass unwritten. Be-
meath the darkening skies Of early
evening, the Sergeant and the Usage
guide rode forth into the peril and
mystery Of the shrouded desert. Be-
yond the outmost picket, moving as
silently as two specters, they found
at last a coulee lesding upward from
the valley to the plains above. To
their left the Indian fires swept in
half circle, and between were the
dark outlines Of savage foes. From
rock to rock echoed cultural voices.
but, foot by foot, unnoted by the keen
eyes, the two crept steadily on
through the midnight OF that shelter
ing ravine. ~dismounted, hands clasp
ing the nostrils of their ponies, feel
ing through the darkness for each
step, hating b%reathless at every
crackle Of a twig, every crunch Of
snow under foot. Again and again
they paused, silent, mottonless, as
some apparition OF savagery outlined
itself between them and the sky, yet
slowly, steadily, every instinct Of the
plains exercised, they passed Unseen.
In the earliest gray Of dawn the
two wearied men crept out upon the
upper plateau, dragging their horses.
Behind, the mists of the night still
hung heavy and dark over the valley,
yet with a new sense of freedom
they swung into their saddles, faced
sternly the chill wind of the north
and rode forward across the desolate
snow fields. 1t was no boys play!
The tough, half-broken Indian ponies
kept steady stride. leaping the drifts,
skimming rapidly along the bare hill
sides. From dawn to dark scarcely .

dead white man in that ring of red.
1t was over, yet that little body of
troopers dared not remain. About
them still, although demoralized and
defeated. circled an overwhelming
mass Of savages capable of crushing
them to death, when they again raj
lied and consolidated. Custer did the
only thing possible. Turning loose the
pony herd. gathering his captives
close, he swung his compact command
into marching column. Before the
scattered tribes could rally for a sec
ond attack. with fankers out, and Skin
mtshers In advance. the c%avalrymen
rode straight down the valley toward
the ~retreating hostiles. 1t was a bold
and desperate move, the commanders
object being to impress upon the In
dian chiefs the thought of his utter
fearlessness, and to create the impress
sion that the Seventh would never
dare such a thing If they did not have
a larger force behind. With flags un-
furled, and the band playing, the
troopers swept on. The very mad au-
dacity Of the movement struck terror
into the hearts Of the warriors, and
they broke and fed. AS darkness fell
the survivors Of the Seventh rode
alone, amid the silent d~esolation Of
the plains.
Hating a moment for rest under
shelter Of the river bank, Custer
hastily wrote his report and sent for
Hamlin. The latter approached and
stood motionless in the red glare of
the single campfire. The impetuous
commander glanced up in%quiringly.
Sergeant, I must send a messenger
to Camp Supply. Are you fit to go?"
"As much as anyone, General Gus
ter" was the quiet response. Il have
no wounds Of consequence"
Very we'll. Take the fastest horse
in the command, and an Usage guide
You know the country, but he will be
of assistance. l have written a very
brief report; you are to tell Sheridan
personally the entire story. We shall
rest here two hours, and then pro-
coed slowly along the trail. I antici'
pate no further serious fighting. You
will depart at once"
very we'll, SIR" the Sergeant sa.
luted, and turned away, hating an in
slant to ask: you have reported the
losses, I presumed"
Eyes, the dead and wounded. There
are some missing, who may yet come
in. Major Elliott and fourteen others
are still unaccounted for" He paused.
by the way, Sergeant, while you are
with Sheridan, explain to him who
you are-he may have news for you.
Good night, and good luck"
He stood up and held out his hand.
In surprise, his yes suddenly filling
with tears, Hamlin felt the grip OF
his fingers. Then he turned, unable
to a%rticulate a sentence, and strobe
away into the night.
