INSTALLMENT 6.
AUNTLESSLY the two essayed
D that heart-rending task, The
descent of the one mountain
side required all of an hour, the ford
ing of the torrent at the bottom half
of another, the ascent of the other
mountain upward of two hours more.
The brief tropic twilight impended
when they arrived at length at the
point where the path struck away
from the brink of the chasm,
No Signs of Ramon.
Their cautious reconnoitering dis
closed no signs of Ramon. Unques
tionably, thinking them discouraged
to the point of abandoning the pur
puit, he had gone on, with Julia added
to his company.
Night fell as the two fagged men
Jogged at a dog-trot down the moun
talnside to the gloomy and wooded
depths of a wide valley
And with the setting of the sun they
heard again that sound which had so
troubled Philip ere he had forgotten
it in sleep the night before.
But now its goblin rhythm was loud
And seemingly near at hand; its dread
monotony was like the pulsing of the
heart of a haunted world; its throb
bing filled the valley, reverberating
from the hillsides that walled it in,
with sinister thunderings.
An hour later the moon topped the
rampart of the hills and lighted them
on their blind, uncertain course.
Thanks to its illumination, they
were able to find again the path from
which they had strayed in the black
mess; and so presently a man running
In witless panic was thrown into their
arms.
Promptly seizing him, they dis
armed him of a rifle; then they turned
his face to the light and identified
him as one of the Swamp Adders
trew.
~ In response to their demands, the
Cuban panted out a hasty sketch of
Ramon's pursult, of his bargain with
the voodoo woman, of the safe deliv
ery of the Princess into his hands.
Immediately after this, it appeared,
the witch had taken herself off, and
Ramon, satisfled that Phillp and Juan
could never overtake them, had re
sumed the journey into the interior.
Shortly after nightfall, when the
whole company was suffering acutely
with hunger, they had encountered a
negro leading a young goat with gar
landed horns—a sacrificial goat, ac
gording to the Cuban, dedicated to
the rites of Voodoo. Ignoring the
gulde’'s remonstrance when his offer
to purchase the animal for food was
rejected, Ramon had struck the negro
dead with the butt of his rifle and
taken possession of the goat.
Bome time later, halting In a forest
clearing to kill and cook the animal
for supper, the party had been sur
prised by an infuriated mob of Voo
doo worshippers., In the brief strug
&le which followed, the guide had
made his escape. But he had seen
the Princess Julia made captive by
the negroes and carried off to be a
substitute for the sacrifice which their
dread god had been denled,
“A goat without horns!” had been
the burden of their shouts as they
dragged the girl away.
A Terrible Prospect. ‘
Such is the phrase by which a hu
man sacrifice is termed among the
devotees of Voodoo.
Abandoning the guide to resume his
flight, Philip and Suu\ blundered on
through the baffling obscurity of the
&fle, guided to their goal only by
muttering of the voodoo drum.

8o elusive was that wsound that
chance alone ean be credited with
bringing them to its source. A dozen
times they went astray in the maze
of paths that threaded the jungle
When they were on the verge of de
spalr, of a sudden they came out into
a wide glade more than half filled by
a great house of thatch and wattles
from within which came the rolling
groans of the drum, punctuated ever
and anon by eerie shrieks of the fren
zied worshipers.
There were no guards without the
structurs to hinder them. Circling
round it, the two arrived at a point
whence they could spy through a wide
entrance.
Though roofed against the moon-
Hght, the interior was brightly illu
minated by the _ flames of many
torches.
Backs all to the entrance, rank upon
rank of squatting negroes, men and
women, faced a stone altar of un
couth design agalinst the farther wall,
Before this altar was a wide clear
space, In which a fire of bluish flames
was licking up from a basin of stone,
To one side squatted an aged negro,
the priest of the drum, his hands
playing incessantly over the taut sur
face of that huge instrument,
Between the fire and the altar the
voodoo woman of the lowlands, naked
to the walst, was performing a cere
monial dance, holding out before her,
in both hands, at arm’s length, a
great sacrificial knife,
Athwart the altar lay the Princess
Julla, bound and helpless, her head
hanging back over the edge, her
throat a taut invitation to the knife.

‘With half a dozen whispered words
to Juan, Philip left him and ran to
the back of the structure, pausing im
mediately behind the altar. There,
throwing himself upon his knees, he
began to tear away the wattles of
the wall.
Steadfast at his station, Juan walit.
ed, giving Philip every second of time
he dared. -
At length, however, he might hold
his hand no longer. The dance was
ending amid a demoniac chorus of
shrieks and yells, all dominated by
the roaring of the voodoo drum. Com
ing to a dead standstill of a sudden,
the priestess faced her audience, hold
ing the knife high above her head,
tlll the tumult stilled.
Then, turning, she advanced upon
the victim.
The knife was poised when Juan,
the rifie at his shoulder, pulled the
trigger. The Maxim silencer muffled
the report to a slight cough. The
priestesz spun round like a top, one
complete revolution, then fell back
ward Into the basin of fire.
Screaming with terror, excited by
this death that fell like a thunder
bolt for swiftness, yet uniike it in its
awful silence, the worshipers sprang
to their feet. As they did so, Juan
dropped three more—the drummer
and two others. This completed the
panic of the rabble. In a trice they
were milling madly through the en
trance, making the night wild with
thelr cries.
Lowering the rifie and keeping
within the shadow of the jungle walls,
Juan ran round the structure and

MEETING of the county central
committee of the Equal Suf
frazc.Pany was held at head
‘qu&rtern, No. 111 North Pryor street,
this afternoon. The report of the
chairman of the organization eom
mittee was Interesting. A number
of parlor meetings had been held in
different wards of the city at which
addresses had been made by able
suffragists, who were in Atlanta for
short visits, elther upon business or
pleasure. A preport from the treasur
er of the tea-room and shop for the
first month's business was more en
couraging than the most optimistic
had anticipated. It is well worth the
helpful co-operation of all suffra

URGES WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
At a meeting of the Boosters’ Club
in Augusta a few nights ago, which
was largely attended by prominent
men and women of the city, Judge
Henry C, Hammond, one of the most
brilllant men In the South, made a
ringing speech for a greater Augus
ta and paid an eloguent tribute to the
helpfulness of women in public af
fairs. He sald he would welcome the
day when women would be given the
ballot.
“In this sordid thing of politics,”
he said, “we need you, mothers, wives,
daughters of Augusta—need your
moral and refining influences. You,
exercising the ballot, are to be our
redemption. Men have made a mess
of it. If in the councils of the na
tions the voice of women had been
raised and heeded, who is it that
would dare to say that this man
slaying tragedy of a world-war would
now be in enactment?”

VICTOR YIN INDIANA.
The novel features of the Indiana
situation are set forth in the follow
ing telegram received by Mrs. Carrie
Chapman, president National Woman
Suffrage Association, from the legis
lative council of Indiana:
“Senate partial soffrage bill, .un
amended, passed the House, 67 to 24.
When signed by the Governor In
diana women will vote for more of
fices than any other State excepting
those having full suffrage. For the
first time in history women will help
elect delegates to a State Constitu
tional Convention, with vote for rat
ification of the Constitution which, in
this case, will include the privilege of
women voting themselves full suf
frage. Indiana women present to the
National American Woman Suffrage
Assoclatign fifteen electoral votes.”
* This makes the third complete suc
cess registered since January 1 in
the efforts of suffragists to obtain the
passage of presidential and munici
pal suffrage. ‘

EDUCATOR AND THE VOTE. |
Since education ceased to be the!
peculiar possession of the cleric, the
training of children has been, up to
adolescence at least, largely in the‘
hands of women. Theyfl'ch?e taken
possession of a field v ed, in a
large measure, by men. The 1910 cen
sus shows almost four times as many
women as men teachers in the United
States; the rcheol figures for 1913‘
show more than four times as many
girls as hoys actually training in the
normal schools, llf it is right and nat
ural te expect those who bring chil
dren up and form their minds, then
the invasion of education by women
is right and natural, and women
should rightly have a large part of the
control of education, and, as profes
sionals, should be paid at least the
same wages as men. This has not
been the case, however, in the past,
and the great reason for it has been
because women have not had the vote.
As proof of this, women educators in
the equal suffrage States are better
off as to “honors and emoluments"!
than those of the nonsuffrage States.
No male State has an equal pay
statute among its school laws. Of the
twelve equal suffrage States five—Ne
vada, California, Illinois, Oregon and
Utah—have equal pay statutes. In
Arizona, Kansas and Montana the

appointments are made on the hasis
of experience and record. The four
States which remain have no equal
pay law. But there seems little need
for special legislation to protect wom-.
en on this point, for these are the
four States in which women are most
completely in control of the educa
tional system. In each of these four
States the head of the educational de.
partment is a woman, and has been
ever since the granting of woman suf.
frage.
The State of Washington, which, in.
dentally, stands first in the United
States in the excellence of its publie
education system, according to the
Russell Sage Foundation Study on
Public Schools, has, besides a woman
Commissioner of Education, twoe out
of its other five State educational ex
ecutives. It is a significant and Inter.
esting fact that one-half the county
superintendents in the United States
are women, and that two-thirds of
lthese women superintendents are to
’be found in equal suffrage States.

HALF DAY FOR WORKING
WOMEN.
| French military aushorities in De.
cember made regulations for work-
Ing women with children to spend a
‘half day only in military Kkitchens,
laundries and offices. The National
Counell of French Women urges man
ufacturers to adopt the same plan,
believing that the half day, with the
minimum wage, will prove to be the
‘best principle for working out the
economic role of the women with
young children to care for,

A WAR REFENDUM.
Representative Callaway, of Texas,
recently introduced in the House a
measure"grovldmg for a referendum
to the n of the country on the
declaration of war. This is jn re
sponse to the resolutiong that have
been passed by many groups of peo
ple in the last week calling on Con
gress and the Presldent to practice
democracy by vesting the right to
declare war in the people of the
United States instead of in Congress.
A referendum vote by men alone
on war would make clearer than ever
before the injustice of umequal suf
frage, since war weighs equally on
both men and v:on:en;
WOMEN IN MUNITION PLANTS.
The Russell Sage Foundation in its
investigation into the working hours
of women, reports that in Bridgeport,
Conn., there are 4000 women em
ployed in the Remington U. M. C.
Company plant making cartridges to
be sghipped to the battle flelds of Fu
rope. In order to circumvent the
law of the State, which forbids the
working of women after-10 o'clock
at night, tYese women are given two
hours at that time for rest, but
promptly at 12 o’clock as soon as mid
night ushers in the next day, they
resume their labors. Owing to the
loose phraseology of the law, it fails
to designate at what hour of the
morning women can be put to work.
This condition proves the absolute
necessity for revising the- factory
laws so that women shall be pro
tected from this terrible overstrain
and from the diseases incident to that
industry. Shorter hours are consid
ered as essential for increased pro
duction as well as for the conserva
tion of the workers’ strength. In the
case of these munition workers, theyv
have been induced to work long hours
by the high wages and to satisfy the
urgent need of speed. At the same
time, this inerease in wages has been
parallelled by the increase in the cost
of llving, and the increase in the
number of laborers, caused an un
precedented rise in rents. These poor
women therefore have ruined their
health without improving their con
dition financially.
