POTARY IS PRACTICAL no less than IN idealstic. One of it's objects is the inter- change of ideas and of business methods as a means of increasing the efficiency and use- fitness of it's members, and of cultivating friendships. It also is practical in that it fosters the active interest of every member in the civic, commercial social, and moral welfare of his community. It calls on us to make our homes the most happy places on earth to love our own households, to win and hold the confidence of our boys and girls, to inculcate high ethical standards in our busi- nesses and professions, and to dignify our oc- equations as affording us opportunities to serve society. It exists to teach love of city and country, and flag, and to cultivate the virtues of charity, cheerfulness and optim ism in whatever situation we may find our selves

NO OBLIGATION, actual or implied, to in- | fluence business, exists in rotary, and the idea of personal gain is foreign to it. The fact that it is law of nature that when a man helps another, he helps himself by broadening his own sympathies enlarging his capacity for usefulness and making men trust him, is beside the question. When the expectation of personal gain or aggrandize- ment enters into neighborly action it is not a Rotary action. Rotary has neither political nor sectarian tests, and in our meetings polit- ical and religious questions are taboo Rotary aims at the heart and character of men; therefore can embrace all men of heart and character, and combine them in common beneficent effort, no matter what their poli- tics or religion.

GREAT
INDIANS
SEQUoYAH, THE cADMUS OF
THE cHEROKEES
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON

THIS is the story Of an Indian who
4 rose to fame not as warrior nor as
orator, but as the inventor of an al
phabet for his people which enabled
them to write and read their own Ian
guage. Sequoyah (Slkway) of the
Cherokees was born In Tennessee In
1880. The boy grew up among the In
dams unacquainted with the white
mans tongue or any OF his arts.
An accident made him cripple
for life and he became craftsman
In silverwerk and skilled mechanic.
he also made photographs showing the
great deeds of the Cherokee on the
warpath. In 1909, impressed by the
value of the white mans talking
leaves" (booksl, Sequ0yah conceived
q system of writing, suitable to the
Cherokee tongue. undismayed by
ridicule, he persisted In his studies
until convinced that the Cher0kees
had SO syllables, which in various COM
binations constituted their vocabulary.
bols for each syllable, and that being
done, he taught his six-yearold daugh-
ter to build words from these symbols.
In 1921 Sequoyah demanded trial
for his alphabet, and in a public test
he proved It's worth. The chiefs en-
dorsed his invention and Cherokees OF
all ages learned the alphabet with en-
thusiasm. The next year he left his
village In Georgia to visit the Chero-
KEGS in Arkansas and carry his fnven-
tion to them Again he was success
full Two years later parts OF the b.
Bile were printed in Cherokee. In 1923.
the Cherokee Phoenix, the first period
Ical ever printed In any Indian lam
guage, was published as weekly ut
New Echota, Ga.
When Sequoyahs tribesmen We're
removed to Indian Territory he was
the great leader in organizing the re-
united nation. But he was little inter-
ested In politics. Among his people
was the tradition of lost Cherokee
tribe that had wandered west before
the Revolution.
Although Sequoyah was then more
than eighty years old, he resolved to
carry his message of education to the
lost tribe His quest led him into Mex
leo and there, in August, 1843, weak
ened by privation, he died. He was
buried in an unknown grave, but he
was 10 have grander memorial than
any monument of stone. When the
big rees of California were discov-
cred 1t was decided to call these giant

ute to an Indian who gave his people
printed language Of their own.

the lighted sign of q drug store and

he had recollected now. to write to

write them at least that he had ar

lie mailed the card and turned back
10 Astor street; and he walked more
swiftly now, having come to his deci-
sion, and only shot one quick look up
at the house as he approached it. With
what had his father shut himself mp
within that house for twenty years?
And was 1t there still? And was 1t
from that that Benjamin Corvet had
fled? He saw no one In the street,
and was certain no one was observing
him as, taking the key from his pocket,
he ran up the steps and unlocked the
outer door Holding this door open
TO get the light from the street lamp,
he fitted the key into the inner door;
then he closed the outer door. For full
ly minute, with fast-beating heart
and sense of expectation Of he knew
not what, he kept his hand upon the
key before he turned It.; then he
opened the door and stepped into the
dark and silent house.

CHEF BLACK HAWK. THE PA
TRIOT OF THE SAcS

MHEN the Eighty-sixth division
w went overseas in 1918, they
bore on the left shoulder of their uni
forms insignia showing black hawk
rampant on a shield Of red. Thus the
"Black Hawk Division" carried into
battle once more the emblem of one Of
the greatest fighting men from their
native soll--Chief Black Hawk (Ma'-
katawlmesheka'k aa) of the Sacs and
Foxes. Illinois pioneers, grandfathers
of some of these men, had called him
"hloodthirsty savage" but his own
people looked upon him as a patriot
who defended his country against un-
Just aggression.
Black Hawks war In 1882 was
cause1 by dispute over the terms of
treaty removing the Sacs and Foxes
to reservation In Iowa. When the
government failed to keep Its agree
ment to provide them with corn In
place of the crops they had abandoned
In Illinois, Black Hawk recrossed the
Mississippi to "steal corn from our
own fields" as the old chief said, Bit
terly.
Governor Reynolds called out the
militia to repel these invaders" and
later federal troops were sent to SUBJ
due the Sacs. After several fierce
battles the Indian resistance was brok-
en- and Black Hawks warriors scat
tered, The chief fed to the Winnie
bagGs for refuge. On August 81, 1888,
he walked into General Streets head
quarters at Prairie du Chen, Wis, to
surrender.
Farewell my nation!" said Black
Hawk as he gave himself up. "Black
Hawk tried to save you and avenge
your wrongs, He drank the blood OF
some Of the whites, he has been taken
prisoner and his plans stopped. He
can do no more. His sun Is setting
and will rise no more. Farewell to
Black Hawk"
He was held for two months pris.
oner Of war at Fortress Monroe, Va,
and then was returned to hi people In
low" There another humillatios
awaited him. Keokuk, his bltteress
enemy and the leader of the peace
faction Of the Sacs, had been elevated
to the head chieftainshlp. Black
Hawks proud heart was broken By
this blow.
He died October 3, 1893. But even
then the whites did not allow, him to
rest In peace. A doctor desecrated his
grave and carried the skeleton back
to Illinois. Eventually the bones OF
the great chief were restored to hia
sons and they placed them for safe
keeping In the collections OF an Iowa
historical museum. In 1865 fire de-

This proof that some one had been

opened them, he found entirely empty

violence and roughness were unmis-
| takably the work Of the man with the
big hands who had left marks upon
the top Of the chest Of drawers; and
the feeling that he had been In the
house very recently was stronger than
ever.
Alan ran out into the hall and lis.
tened he heard no sound; but he went
back to the little room more excited
than before. For what had the other
man been searching? For the same
| things which Alan was looking for!

min Corvet1 Alan had no doubt that
everything Of Importance must have
been taken away. but he would make
sure of that. fIe took some of the pa
pers from the drawers and began to
examine them: after nearly an hour
OF this, he had found only one article
which appeared connected In any way
with what Sheriff. had told him or
| with Alan himself. In one OF the little
drawers OF the desk he found several
books, much worn as though from
being carried in Il pocket, and one of
these contained series of entries
stretching over several years. These
listed an amount-s150-opposite So
ries Of dates with only the year and
the month given, and there was an
entry for every second month.

CHAPTER V
An Encounter.

Alan, standing In the darkness of
the hall, felt In his pocket for his
matches and struck one on the box.
The light showed the hall In front of
him, reaching back into some vague,
distant darkness, and great rooms with
wide portiered doorways gaping on
both sides. He turned into the room
upon his right, glanced to see that the
shades were drawn on the windows
toward the street, then found the
switch and turned on the electric light.
Alan had the feeling which so often
comes to one In an unfamiliar and
vacant house that there was some one
In the house with him. He listened
and seemed to hear another sound In
the upper hall footstep. He went
out quickly to the foot of the stairs
and looked UP them.
us any one heref he called. rs
any one here?"
Ills voice brought no response. He
went half way up the curve Of the wide
stairway and called again, and lis
tened then he fought down the feeling
he had had; Sheriff. had said there
would be no one In the house, and
Alan was certain there was no one.
SO he went back to the room where
he had left the light.
The center OF this room, like the
room next to It, was occupied by a
library table-desk, He pulled open
some drawers In 1t: one or two had
blueprints and technical drawings In
them: the others had only the miscel-
lany which accumulates In room
much used. There were drawers also
under the bookcases all around the
room: they appeared, when Allan
opened some of them, to contain pam
phlets of various societies, and the
scientific correspondence of which
Sheriff. had told him. Aim felt thar
seeing these things was bringing his
father closer to him: they gave him n
little of the feeling he had been unable
to get when he looked AT his fathers
picture. He could realize better now
the lonely. restless man, pursued by
some ghost he could not kill. taking
up for distraction one subject Of study
after another, exhausting each In turn
until he could no longer make II en-
gross him. and then absorbing him
self In the next.
On the top Of n chest OF high draw
ers In q corner near the dressing
table were some papers. Alan went
over 10 look at them: they were invi-
tations, notices of concerts and Of
plays twenty years old--the mall,
probably. Of the morning when Corvet's
wife had gone away, left where her
maid or she herself had laid them
and only picked up and put back there
at the times since when the room was
busted. As Alan touched them, he
saw that his fingers left marks in the
dust on the smooth top of the chest
he noticed that some one else had
touched the things and made marks
of the same sort as he had made. The
freshness of these other marks star
tied him; they had been made within
day or so. They could not have
been made by Sheriff.. for Alan had
noticed that Sherrill's hands were
slender and delicately formed: Cor
