bunch of tall grass behind which she
could sit up and still not be seen SO
there she was without moving for a long,
long time, never once taking her eyes
from Old Man Coyote and the doorway of
the old house. By and by she saw Peter
poke his nose out to see if the way was
clear. Old Man Coyote saw him, too,
and began to grin. 1t was hungry,
wicked looking grin and it made little
Mrs. Peter very, very angry indeed.
She waited just minute longer to
make sure that Peter was where he could
see her. and then she thumped the ground
very hard which, you know, is the way
rabbits signal to each other. Peter heard
it right away and thumped back that he
would stay right where he was, though
right down in his heart Peter thought
that little Mrs Peter was just nervous
and foolish, for he was sure that Old
Man Coyote had given up and gone away
long ago
Now, OF course. Old Man COYOTE heard
those thuInps, and he knew just what
they meant. He knew that he never,
never could catch Peter so long as Mrs.
Peter was watching him and ready to
warn Peter So he came out Of his
hiding place with ali ugly snarl and
sprang toward little Mrs. Peter just to
brighten her He laughed as he watched
her run and, all breathless, dive into the
dear. safe old briar patch. and then he
trotted away to his favorite mapping
place.
AS soon Peter was sure that he was
safe he started for home. and there little
Mrs. Peter scoded him soundly for being
so needless and thoughtless. Peter didn't
have a word to say. For long time he
sat thinking and thinking. every once in
while scratching his head as if puzzled.
Little Mrs. Peter noticed il.
Whats the matter with you. Peter?
she asked. finally.
I'm just studying what Old Man
Coyote means by telling one day that
he is my friend, and proving it by doing
me good turn. and then trying to catch
me the very next time ne sees me-
don't understand it, said Peter. shaking
his head.
'Oh. you dear old stupid" replied little
Mrs. Peter. Now you listen to me. You
did Old Man Coyote a good turn and he
paid you back by doing you a good turn.
That made you even, didn't it,
Peter nodded.
We'll, then, you are right back where
you started from and Old Man Coyote
doesn't see any reason why he should
treat you any differently than at first,
when / come to think it over. / tell
you what. Peter, the thing for you to do
is to keep doing good turns to Old Man
Coyote so that he will always be in debt
to YOU Then he will always be your
friend.
AS little Mrs. Peter stopped speaking
Peter sprang to his feet. THE very
thingr" he cried. Its sort of golden
rule and I do believe it will work.
"Of course it will" replied little Mrs.
Peter.

beating until Peter reached the safety

Coyote hide in the grass nearby and she
was terribly, terribly afraid that Peter
would be needless again and come out

Poor little Mrs. Peter, She was so
anxious that she couldn't sit still No,

that she just had to do something to warn
Peter. She stole out from the dear old
briar patch and half way to where Old
Man Coyote was hiding. He was so busy
watching the doorway of the old house
where Peter was hiding that he didn't
notice her at all. Little Mrs. Peter found

tionary individual stands alone he
IS outlawed; it is only when he
acquires a following, an adequate
number of sympathizers and sup
porters, that accepted ideas be

The progressive individual In
the case of woman, has. there

the accepted type, with the ruling
masculine notion has set I'D for
womanhood, and also with the
actual predominating womanlv
type which stands for the average
OF the sex as 1t is at this moment.
The classical example Of this
tendency toward progress in the
female sex is offered by those
women who first introduced the
feminist movement. For over a
century they and their successors
mad to be content to be reckoned
as degenerates. They were gen
orally regarded as perverted
types, not to be ranked among
worthy specimens Of their sex
indeed, it is not so long since
they were spoken of as men
women 1t was not possible to
view as other than freaks and
aonormalities these creatures who
came upsetting established ideas
and Questioning approved tenets.
The new paths they sought to
make for themselves could be
held to be nothing but blind al
leys down which the sex was be-
ing enticed astray from its ma
tural sphere and its natural des-
tiny Even now we may hear
the voices Of those who persist
In regarding the entire feminist
movement as a symptom Of de-
generation.
$50 long as the feminist move
ment was entirely revolutionary,
women were right in directing
their energies not against average
humanity in general, but against
their active Phillstine opponents
in particular. They could repulse
this type of humanity, and regard
1t as their enemy so far as femi-
nine problems were concerned.
But the time has already come
when the revolutionary has pass
ed into the organized state; that
is to say, when the movement
must be in normal relation 10 its
adherents. Their demands are
beginning to have. results. The
equity of them Is being recogniz-
ed, and economic conditions are
rapidly preparing the way for
their realization"

Women's Struggle
From EDWIN MARKHAM.
rERMAN SCHEFFAUER, in
r. q translation from the Ger

ERMAN SCHEFFAUER, in
r. translation from the Ger
man printed by Doran,
presents a thoughtful study of
the wonen's movements as seen
by the well-known European
writer, Rosa Mayreder. From one
of the chapters I note these sug-
gestive thoughts:
at is undeniable that there are
many women who go far beyond
the average in regard to intellect
and strength Of character, and
many who are well qualified for
careers and occupations other
than those customary to the sex.
There are .many-but are these
enough?
"At all periods of the worlds
history there have been women
who have equaled or even excelled
the majority OF men in intelli-
gence and in energy; yet they
have not been able to alter the
social position OF their sex either
in the matter Of tie law or in
regard to standards of opinion.
They were exceptions, and have
been treated as such. They were
exceptions--that is to say, they
were not specimens OF new line
of development; they were not
pioneers opening out new routes
for a future generation to follow
and develop; they had no sue
cessors.
But the battle between the
normal majority and the indi-
vidual deviating from the normal
and striving to break down its
tyranny goes down deep into the
constitution of society; and the
process is nothing less than the
organic evolution Of civilization.
There are some who will have
nothing to do with external rules,
they will not obey the traditional
code Of laws, but will listen only
to the behests of their own ma
ture. The destiny OF such ino-
vators varies according to the
force of their personality, ire
spective of their field of intel
lectual activity. They may be
merely ridiculed or ignored, they
may be misunderstood or perse-
cuted, their end may be misery,
insanity or a martyrs death.
such men are In truth martyrs
in the cause of humanity. To
them we owe every forward step
in the progress Of the race from
the condition of beasts up to the
noblest and Hottest civilization.
And when people ceases to pro-
duce such individuals 1t sinks into
petrifaction or stagnation; it's
power of development dies away.
