camp, the subject OF Difference on the
part OF the wardens-Bentley was in
the camp and Joe was outside. That
was the situation Joe had made his
escape during the confusion following
on the outbreak OF the fire The wood
en- stockade was threatened, the con-
v1cts were mustered into the yard,
and, under cover OF the smoke, Joe
made his getaway

Suddenly he raised his head and
listened uneasily Far down the glade
there rang a faint and musical cry. 1t

knew its significance and the super
stitious terror which the negro has
tor this hound awakened He sprang
10 his feet and plunged on through the
thickets.
Once he could make the water of
the bayou he knew he was safe He
could throw he hounds on the scent.
The shallow bayou was about two
miles away With luck he would reach

him. The swampy ground would i'm

Once at the bayou, he would swim

would do. He felt the hope OF free

But presently the cry of the hounds
grew louder-louder still, and the
scent OF the brackish water was only
beginning to fill his nostrils. Madly
now Joe plunged into the scrub. Sud
1enly he emerged upon a little creek

led the bayou

DEFINES WOMAN'S DUTIES

Women still have, as they always
have had. three subjects of prime inn
portance to deal with: The needy chill
dren, the INDECENT and the aged. These
three are sufficient to tax all the spare
time of any woman, and 1 sincerely trust
that this class which 1 have the honor
to address will always bear in mind
these topics"
Romulo S. Naon. Ambassador from
Argentine, in these words made his prin-
cipal appeal to the graduating class of
Fairmont Seminary at Fourteenth and
Fairmont streets northwest last evening.
He did not mention suffrage as being
woman's work, but dwelt at length on
the schools OF the United States and the
fact that there can be no democratic
form of government where ignorance
reigns.
He said that one of the greatest duties
woman can perform is to help lift the
burden in life which her husband carries.
and that women who really help their
husbands find in that assistance one of
their chief functions in life.
