A party of young men were tramp-
ins' through a wood in October with
jjuns on their shoulders, aud from the
season and the guns it is evident that
they were sportsmen. Presently they
emerged from among the trees- and
stood on the banliKof ft lake. A penia-
sultt-at high water an island—jutted
ollt j n front of them. In its center Avas
;1 largo dwelling house inclosed Avithin
a High Avail. On the roof was a cupola,
mid above the cupola floated a banner
on which Averc embroidered the Avords,
■•Volos For Women.”
••What the dickens do you suppose,
follows,” said Ned Bixby. ‘‘that the
JMSaglsts are doing boused in that
fashion, AVlih a big Avail all around
them V*’
••It’s some kind of a headquarters,”
suggested Tom Singleton.
••put the suffragists don’t put them
selves away oil’ from anyAvlierc.
There’s no biding of their light under
a .bushel. They sound the loud timbrel
ami advertise 1 their cause,”
-My opinion is,” rejoined Bixby.
“that flitre is some plotting- going on
under that llag.”
“Whua kind of plotting?”
“I’ve hoard through a sist er of mine
who Is a suffragist that the English
militant tactics are about to be inau
gurated in this state, and I’ll bet the
women come together boro to lay down
a program. You see, in that case they
wouldn’t want cops >nnd ' detectives
snooping around to bead them off.”
“I move,” said Singleton, "that we
storm the citadel.”
•‘Not by force?" queried Bixby.
"Oh. no! Nobody wants to storm a
•feminine citadel'by force. One must
use persuasion.”
The huntsmen resolved themselves
into a committee of the Avhole to. con
sider Iioav to effect an entrance into
the citadel, and, influenced by Bixby’s
suggestion that the women Avere plot
ting to set lire to or bloAv up something,
it Avas Anally agreed that the men
make themselves up for toughs - and
offer t hulr services for the Avork. .Oavcu
Wags faff, the homeliest man In the
party, was selected to make a Avedge
of himself and open the Avay for the
others.
That same afternoon Wngstaff. who
had a four days’ groAvth of stubble
hoard on Ids face and bad reddened
Ills nose and torn bis clothes, took ad
vantage of a supply wagon entering
the suffragist grounds to get in as a
deliveryman and. going to the front
door, rang the bell. The summons was
answered by a young lady AA'itb a
"Votes For Women" badge on her
hosom. and Wngstaff told her that lie
would like to see the principal of the
establishment. A handsome woman,
aged about thirty, appeared} and Bixby
after telling her,how hard up be was
asked if the lady couldn’t give liim
something to do by which be could
turn an honest penny. The lady told
1dm to remain where lie was and went
out. Presently she returned with two
others, one ol’ whom Wngstaff consid
ered pretty- enough to kiss. Then the
principal told him that they laid work
enough of a peculiar kind to give em
ployment to a dozen men, AAdiereupon
Wngstaff said lie Avas captain of a
gang of half a dozen, all of whom had
deen in jail the principal part of their
d y es and wore ready to blow up or
sot fire to any till®. One of the ladies
asked where his men were, and he
said he had them handy.
Two of the committee Avere in favor
ot dealing only through 'Wngstaff. but
the other said they should not employ
nion without ha ring seen them, The
single member carried the day, and
Wngstaff avus directed to bring Ilia
won into Suffragist castle the next
worning. when quite likely a propo
rtion would be made to the gang,
‘hat Avas ail he Avanted, and lie took
himself i:w ;iy .
Fiat night the huntsmen went into
comp a fd\y hundred yards from the
f fistie and in order to produce a fa-
PUuido impression during the eve®
■o’ up bowls such as men Avould in-
(lU j~'e in Aviso were carousing and
Adding among themselves. Their
s were bloodcurdling and were
hdvRsifiaa by the firing of guns. It
°- 1 - ll <>; seem to the ladies in the in-
Oicmnro that enough men would be
f“;ve tho next morning to form a cor-
P° r »l’s guard.
However, when day came there was
table as possible, but most ot them
were swell mid found it difficult not to
’\o.huve us such. They Avere inspected,
•iii'l the women, influenced by tlie
dreadful sounds sent up the night be-
'ore, Avere inclined to think them fit
ted for any job. including murder.
The principal addressed them as fol-
Uw*s:
"We propose to begin to set fire to
ami blow up small buildings at first,
and if Ave do not by this means secure
our rights we Avill destroy property of
greater value. We aa*ill pay you well
for your sendees, and if any of you
are caught while doing our 'work we
will furnish you with money and coun
sel for your defense. As to your pay,
that will depend on tlie damage you
do. Whenever you destroy anything
we shall expect you to attach s ultra-
gist posters we shall give you to tlu»
ruins, to let it be known that we suf
fragists are responsible."
"Wliat do yer say. pals? Are yor Sr.
it?" asked Captain Wngstaff.
"Yes, for sAvag," Bixby responded
for tho rest.
“Any loot in it for us besides the
wages?” linked Singleton.
Tlie lady looked at Wngstaff for an
explanation.
“The blokes Avants to knoAV,” bo
said, "Iioav much cuoli man is to get
for a job and if there'll be any plun
der for 'em in the places they do.”
“Ob, Avell, for setting Are to a bouse
we are prepared to pay tlie incendiary
$10.”
"And .bail and all that besides?”
“Yes.”
“That’s all right.” Wagstaff assent
ed. “Tell us where aiul when to be
gin and avoTI do any job you say.”
Captain Wagstaff was handed a list
of buildings to be fired aiul avus some-
what taken aback to see on it the
Hunt club, from Avbicli the party bail
ed. Besides these, there were tlie
buildings on polo grounds, golf links
and other bouses of similar character.
While those instructions were being
given the gang Avere noting the pret
tiest suffragists, avIio wore coming and
going with an air of having very im
portant business on band. Finally (ho
men Avere loaded down Avith the post
ers to go On tho ruins, and they start
ed out ready to commit any crime.
When thpy wore out of sight and
hearing, after giving vent to their en
joyment of the situation for awhile,
like Satan in the poem, they bethought
themselves “what next to do.” It avus
thought expedient to build a bonfire
Avliore the light could be seen n(
Suffragist castle, that the ladies might
feel assured their work avus being
done. The party scattered, and after
constables suggested that if the suffra
gists Avould give them a dauce they
miglitftbe persuaded to give the leader?,
a chance to escape.
Tlie offer Avas accepted, a piano was
wheeled into the room, one of the suf
fragists sat before it, aud Fleetwood
called out:
“Take partners for the tango!”
What astonished the ladies avus hoAV
a lot of constables and jailbirds
should lie able to dance like fine gen
tlemen. The “blokes,” disreputable as
Avas their appearance, were as light on
their feet and ns graceful in their
movements as (lie rest. They talked
jail lingo so far as'they knoAV Iioav to
do it, but. in other respects behaved
themselves quite respectably.
At 1 iu the morning there was a ces
sation for supper. which. having come
from a club larder, consisted of boned
turkey, salads, old cheeses, pato-de-
foi-grus and other such dainties, with
plenty of Avino. At 4 the men with
droAV, and the ladies declared that they
had never boon given a better time.
After so much enjoyment they Avere
quite Avilllng to go to jail in the morn
ing.
But in tlie morning the bailiffs did
not appear, and during the day and
for many successive days the bannei
“Votes For Women” still floated
proudly over Suffragist castle.

It- Avas 11 o’clock when a loud rap
Avas heard at tlie .gate of Suffragist

gate and asked who Avas there.
“Blokes to report damages and git-

“Can’t yon come in the morning?”
Wagstaff replied in an angry tone
that that Avasn’t the way they did
business, and tlie rest set up such a
clamor that tlie woman Avas frightened

Hunt club men, Ceorge Fleetwood,
Avlicm the suffragists had never seen,

“In the name of the law I arrest all

Perry, Ga,
The majority of people who use the telephone are in a hurry. They
wanttocommunicate quickly with some cne and the slightest delay is
likely to cause impatience and irritation. Some people ring for Central
and actually before you can plug the number to answer, they are ringing
again an.I while Central is trying to answer, cannot do so until the ring
ing is stopped and receiver placed to the user’s ear. Nineteen times out
of twenty you 1 will receive an answer quicker by ringing only one time.
If a busy man waits a few seconds for a response from the opera
tor when he is using the telephone in haste, these seconds seem like
minutes. If he is toid that the line is busy it is likely to exasperate him.
If the telephone users could see th*» operator at work while they are
-calling, or if they could see how many others are to be served at the
same time, as in the case?of a bank or hi a store, the seconds that seem
so long would pass unnoticed.
