What Is Woman's Realm?

/ listened TO Miss Kenney, the
English lady. deliver her adj
dress to tine many that gathered
to hear her in the Opera House
on Friday last. | regretted that
[ did not hear the argument
for the franchise, yet | waij
glad to be there to hear her tell
Of her experiences at the hands
Of those who have their duties
to perform. AS | left the hall
l began 20 ask myself "WhhH
is women's realm" and it came
to me that history shows it, and
today's experience tells it.
Woman's realm is and has been
self sacrifice. Here, both in
palace and home. she follows her
master.
Men and women are brothers
and sisters who pass through the
same experience incident to hui
man nature with like results.
Many have and do fail under
responsibility, those who are
strong, shoulder it and conquer
and rule.
The opportunity Of national
power and sovereignty has not
come so often in the past to wo-
men as to men, but for sure, il
has been offered to her. From
Deborah, who judged her coun
trymen under the palm trees on
the hills Of Ephreim, down te
the young Queen Wilhelmina
who ruled the people among the
marshes and bikes of Holland.
When power comes to women
the women of our land must
choose what use she will make
Of it. She may choose reckless
gayeties as did Mary Stewart
Of Scotland, or she may, ]fkt
good Queen Victoria, throw hel
Influence on the side Of purity
and virtue. She may be like

Washbu1n is being put Oh the
map as being the smallest city
in the state that has, a Rest
Room. 1t is hard to realize how
useful the place has become.
The farmers wives spend their
leisure moments there, the wo-
men hold their church and club
meetings there and the school
children are given the free use
Of the room at any time. Steps
are now being taken to start a
phblic library in the same room.
This enterprise is backed by the
women of Washburn and it is
proving very successful.

AS a general thing speeches
do not take we'll in this town,
but last week two noted speak
ers were here, one a woman and
the other an ex-governor; both
were received with crowded
houses. We can read Of the fact,
that were stated by these two
people but it is another thing to
hear them talked about by per-
sons who are as we'll posted in
their subjects. 1t is knowledge
gained while being entertained.

not seem to I've of going in and
looking at the display gotten up
by the local people, or the coln-
ty school exhibit. 1t was an
eye-opener to everyone that an
exhibit of the kind could be dis

starter to other things that can
and will be done here in the
future.

The citizens of Washburn had
the pleasure Of entertaining over
d hundred teachers last week.
These teachers all hold respon-
sib e positions in the county, and
they act as though they I we'll
aware Of this responsibility. 1t
is a noticeable fact. that there
is a better and higher class CT
teachers here every year. Normal
college and university students
come here to teach; in some OF
the county schools they are able
to get GRADUATES. Very few OF
the town schools engage teach
ers who are not graduates, and
thus the STANDARD Of the Mclean
county schools ;s being raised
each year. Good teachers de-
mand good salaries and it is
money we'll spent.

PROFESSIONAL PROPS

Miss Edith Ericsson, manager
of the Garrison Times, came
down Monday and returned the
following morning. She is a wei
come visitor in this shop.
Bishop Cowell, the only Bull
Moose editor in Mclean county,
was down from Dogden last
week to visit the county COM
missioners. In his issue Of Oct
ODER first he published the demo-
cratic abstract Of votes, a little
late but cut in good style.
H. l.. Stanley, manager Of the
Garrison Independent, spent Sun
day at the nearby lakes hunting
for ducks. He has given up his
lease on the Garrison paper but
will act as manager for Frank
Ourrier, owner Of the plant. Mrs.
Currier will assist in getting out
the paper.
The. Regain Headlight is hav-
ing a hard battle in it's youth.
No one wants too undertake the
management Of the paper for any
length Of time. The third man
takes charge this week. The
lack of support from the. business
men Of the town may be the
cause of it.
John T. Charmley is receiving
the congratulations this week
Of his many friends in being
fortunate enough to induce a
New York City girl to change
her name. and place Of abode.
She will be gladly welcomed in
to the press association where
her husband is a prominent
worker.
This past week seems to have
been ''editors' week. in Wash

 Not far from them he came to n well lighted boulevard which it was neces- sary to cross. As he stood directly be- heath a brilliant arc light. waiting for limousine that was approaching to pass him. he heard his name called in sweet feminine voice. Looking up, he met the smiling eyes of Olga de Coude as she leaned forward upon the back seat of the machine. He bowed very low fin response to her friendly greeting. When he straightened up the machine had borne her away.

little or no attention tO what was transpiring upon the stage. Instead. he saw only the lovely vision of beautiful American girl and heard naught but sad, sweet voice ac- knOwledging that his love was return ed. And she was to marry another!
 He shook himself to be rid of his un- welcome thoughts, and at the same in- stant he felt eyes upon him. With the instinct that was his by virtue of train ing he looked up squarely into the eyes that were looking at him to find that they were shining from the smil- ing face of Olga, Countess de Coude. As TarZan returned her bow he was positive that there was an invitation in her look, almost a plea.
 The next intermission found him be- side her in her box.
 q have so much wished to see you" she was saying. "It has troubled me not little to think that after the serv- lees you rendered to both my husband and myself no adequate explanation was ever made you of what must have seemed ingratitude on our part in not taking the necessary steps to prevent repetition of the attacks upon us by those two men"
 You wrong me-" replied TarZan. My thoughts of you have been only the most pleasant You must not feel that any explanation is due me. Have they annoyed you furtherT
 They never cease" she replied sad ly. 'I feel that I must tell some one, and I do not know anothff who so de- serves an explanation as you. You must permit me to do so. It may be of service to you, for I know Nikolas Rokoff quite well enough to be posi- tive that you have not seen the last of him He will find some means to be revenged upon you. l cannot tell you here, but tomorrow shall be at home to M Tarzan at g."
 Tt will be an eternity until tomor- row at g." he said as he bade her good night.
 From corner of the theater Rokoff and Paulvitch saw NJ. TarZan in the box of the Countess de Coude, and both men smiled
 At 4:30 the following afternoon a swarthy, bearded man rang the bell at the servants entrance of the palace of the Count de Coude. The footman who opened the door raised his eyebrows in recognition as he saw who stood with out A low conversation passed be- tween the two.
 At first the footman demurred from some proposition that the bearded one made, but an instant later something passed from the hand of the caller to the hand of the servant. Then the lat ter turned and led the visitor by a roundabout way to a little curtained alcove off the apartment fin which the countess was wont to serve tea of al afternoon.
 A half hour later Tarzan was usher ed into the room, and presently his

all Paris. Never again shan I miss an opportunity to traverse it. for it has given me the first real entertainment have had since left Africa"
 Tt may give you more than you will relish even without another visit" said D'Arnot ''You are not through with the police yet. remember. l knew the Paris police well enough to assure you that they will not soon forget what you did to them. Sooner or later they will get you, my dear Tarzan. and then they will lock the wild man of the woods up behind iron bars. How will you like that?"
 ''They will never lock Tarzan of the Apes behind iron bars" replied he grimly. There was something in the mans voice as he said 1t that caused D'Arnot to look up sharply at his friend. What he saw in the set jaw and the cold. gray eyes made the young Frenchman very apprehensive for this great child, who could recognize no law mightier than his own mighty physical prowess. He saw that some thing must be done to set Tarzan right with the police before another encoun- ter was possible.
 You have much to learn, Tarzan," he said gravely. "The law of man must be respected whether you relish 1t or no. Nothing but trouble can come to you and your friends should you persist in defying the police. I can explain it to them once for you, and that l shall do this very day, but hereafter you must obey the law. If Its representatives say, Come! you must come; if they say, Cor you must go. Now we shall go to my great friend in the department and fix up this matter of the Rue Maule. Comew
 Together they entered the office of the police official half hour later. He was very cordial. He remembered Tarzan from the visit the two had made him several months prior in the matter of the finger prints. Having heard TarZan's story, he assured him that no harm would come to him from the police as result of his nights ad- venture.
 On their return to D'Arnot's apart ments the lieutenant found letter awaiting him from an English friend. William Cecil Clayton. Lord Grey stoke. The two had maintained a cor respondsnce since the birth of their friendship on that i'll fated expedition in search of Jane Porter after her theft by Terkoz, the bull ape. from whom she had been rescued by Tar gan.
 "Tley are to be married in London in about two months" said D'Arnot as he completed his perusal of the let ter. Tarzan did not need to be told who was meant by they" He made no rply, but he was very quiet and thoughtful during the balance of the day.
 That evening they attended the opera Tarzan's mind was still occu- pied by his gloomy thoughts. He paid

During the brief fight Tarzan had noted the open window and beyond the stem of a tree or telegraph pole, he could not tell which. As the last off cer went down one of his fellows sue ceeded in drawing his revolver and from where he lay on the floor fired at rarzan. The shot missed, and before the man could fire again Tarzan had swept the lamp from the mantel and plunged the room in darkness.
 The next they saw was a 1.-the form spring to the sill of the open window and leap panther-like on to the pole across the walk. When the police gathered themselves together and reached the street their prisoner was nowhere tO be seen.
 They did not handle the woman and the men who had not escaped any too gently when they took them to the sta ton. They were very sore and hu- initiated detail of police.
 The officer who had remained in the street swore that no one had leaped from the window or left the building from the time they entered until they had come out. His comrades thought that he lied, but they could not prove 1t.
 When Tar2an found himself cllnging 10 the pole outside the window he fol- lowed his jungle Instinct and looked below for enemies before he ventured down. It was well he did, for just beneath him stood policeman. Above Tarzan saw no one, so he went up in stead of down.
 The top of the pole was opposite the roof of the building. So it was but the work of an instant for the muscles that had for years sent him hurtllng through the treetops of his primeval forest to carry him across the little space between the pole and the roof From one building he went to another. and so on, with much climbing, until at cross street he discovered another pole, down which he ran to the ground.
 For a square or two be ran swiftly.

hostess entered, smliing, and with out stretched hands.
 For a few moments they spoke of the opera, of the topics that were then occupying the attention of Parts, of the pleasure of renewing their brief ac- qualntance which had had its inception under such odd circumstances, and this brought them to the subject that was uppermost in the minds of both.
 You must have wondered" said the countess finally, what the object of Rokon's persecution could be. It is very simple The count is intrusted with many of the vital secrets of the ministry of war He often has in his possession papers that foreign powers would give fortune to possess-se- crets of state that their agents would commit murder and worse than mur- der to learn.
 There is such a matter now in his possession that would make the fame and fortune of any Russian who could dlyulge 1t to his government Rokoff and Paulyitch are Russian spies. They will stop at nothing to procure this in- formation. The affair on the liner-I mean the matter of the card game was for the purpose of blackmailing the knowledge they seek from my hus- band.
 Had he been convicted of cheating at cards his career would have been bllghted. He would nave had to leave the war department. He would have been socially ostracized. They intend ed to hold this club over him-the price of an avowal on their part that the count was but the victim of the plot of enemies who wished to besmirch his name was to have been the papers they seek.
 "You thwarted them in this. Then they concocted the scheme whereby my reputation was to be the price in- stead of the counts. Was it not too horrible? But I happened to know something of NJ. Paulyitch that would send him to the gallows in Russia if 1t were known by the police of St. Pe- tersburg. l dared him to carry out his plan and then l leaned toward him and whispered name in his ear.

he few at my throat as a madman He would have killed me had you moi uterfered"
 The brutesv muttered Tarzan. Why do you not turn the scoundrels over to the authorities? They should make quick work of them"
 She hositated for moment before replying.
 'There are two reasons" she said finally. "One of them 1t is that keeps the count from doing that very thing The other. my real reason for fearing to expose them. I have never told only Rokoff and l know it. wonder why 1t Is that want to tell you tho thing that I have not dared tell even to my husband. believe that you would understand and that you could tell me the right course to follow. believe that you would not judge me too harshly."
 q fear that should prove very poor judge, madame" Tarzan replied, "for if you had been guilty of murder should say that the victim should be grateful to have met so sweet fate"
 "Oh. dear, no" she expostulated. Tt is not so terrible as that. But first let me tell you the reason the count has for not prosecuting these men; then, if can hold my courage. shall tell you the real reason that I dare not. The first Is that Nikolas Rokoff is my broth CT We are Russians. Nlkolas has been bad man since can remember.
