IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Prominence in
Journalisn
Nellie Bly, Pioneer in News
paper Field, Entered Upon
Her Work 33 Years Ago.
By JULIA C. HENDERSON.
The passing of Nellie Bly, noted news
paper correspondent, recoils the fact that
It has been a period of but very few
years since women were taken into the
newspaper field, she being one of the pio
neers in this field of service.
She was heralded at that time as the
"new woman,” so unusual were her ac
tivities and endeavors. But her ability
and her merit won for her a position on
the regular staff of a newspaper In
Pittsburgh, she later going to New York.
Today, after a period of not more than
thirty-three years, women are to be found
In various lines of newspaper work, fill
ing these poslitons with credit to them
selves and to the publications which they
are serving.
In fact it is only the ocaslon country
newspaper that does not have a woman
staff writer or one who at least assem
bles news of special interest to her sex
for the reading public.
Men are coming to realize that in these
busy days of women’s activities and va
ried Interests that one who has studied
the common problems with her Ts the
better equipped to present them in good
form to a critical public. Those who
offer new. in its various angles are real
izing tha the question of woman's In
terests today is a vital one and must be
met with the same discrimination as are
the interests of men.
Women are demonstrating their ability
to handle various lines of newspaper
work end are doing it well, holding the
positions of proofreaders, feature writ
ers, music and dramatic critics, editorial
writers, etc., and even are reaching out
into the field of real ownership, handling
every part of the plant and doing it in a
systematic and capable manner.
Thirty-three years is a short period cf
time for women to have come into such
active participation in a field In which
there had been no previous training.
But women daily are winning victories
in the interest of womanhood and Nellie
Bly did her part faithfully and well in
the newspaper field. The feminine in
vasion into other fields had begun to
make itself felt before Nellie Bly made
her famous trip around the world, yet
the advent of the so-called "new woman”
came about the time of her entry into
newspaper work.

SYLVIA LEVEY,
MRS. E. ,T. PEIRCE.
Although the scene of “The Forest
Ring,” by William C. •De Mill© and
Charles Bernard, the children s play
which the Little Theater Society of In
dian is presenting for a special matinee
on the afternoon of Feb. 18, at the Ma
sonic Temple, is laid in the Adirondack.*,
the action of the little play might take
place In any place where Imagination has
not given way to the complete. Inroads
of practicality and reason. In any child's
mind that still possesses its primitive
vision, the vision of seeing things not as
they are, but as they might be the
vision of make-believe, this play might
take place.
Tho action takes place In what is
known In fairy lore, as “The Forest
Ring,” this ring being a circlet of moon
light, where fairies and animals and
birds and all things not human, congre
gate, and in which the dumb things are
given their real shapes for a short time
and voices. To this ring only those very
few humans who believe la fairies aro
admitted.
At the opening of the play we are In
troduced to Arbutus, a poor but well
meaning Fairy Queen who is about ready
to resign her Job, her business being
quite out of date because not only grown
people but children also have ceased to
believe In the fairies. To ner come a
group of animals of the forest, complain
ing of the ravages of a trapper on their
young, and especially among them in
prominence is the case of TJrsa, the bear
who that day has missed three of her
bear children. As the animals are dis
cussing the best course of pursuit, one of
Arbutus’ messengers returns with the
good news that he has found at last a
child who believes in the little folks.
This child is then brought in her bed to
the ring, and awakened. . Quickly realiz
ing and sympathizing with the troubles of
the animals she concocts the scheme that
Ursa shall follow her to the village as
her trained bear and thereby locate her
babies. Ursa resents this lowering of
her dignity but finally consents to go.
The rest of the story Is concerned with
the complications arising from the meet
ing of the fairy folk and the animals and
the humans; with the restoration of the
babies to their mother and the change
of heart of the trapper who kills un
thinkingly or for the game of it, he be
ing brought to the realization that ani
mal* If they are to be killed at all are
to be killed only for necessary food and
covering, and even then not the young
ones.
As usual every possible attention will
be directed to the costuming and the
lighting of the play as In the regular pro
ductions of the Little Theater Society.

Kill or Cure
By Ralph Cummins
THE STORY TO DATE.
Bedrock Snlveley, a miner, had
“struck it rich” at last. He provided
a splendid home for his daughter,
Ethel, who had lived many years
with a maiden aunt, while her father
was struggling for wealth. Bedrock
spoiled his daughter with luxury.
She became headstrong and willful.
She encourages attentions of Carter
Ravena), a weak young man, against
her father'* wlslice. The pair finally
plans an elopement.
While driving across the mountains
to a distant city, their automobile
breaks down. The accident occurs
near the cabin home of a mountaineer
named Snell, who takes the runaways
In for the night. The following
morning, Snell loads up his park
mule,*, dismisses Ravenal, and
carries Ethel over the mountains,
aguinst her protests, to Devil's Hole.
It was a hard long ride for the girl.
They take refuge in another cabin,
where Ethel find* to her dismay,
they are shut in for the winter.
The situation -ts puzzling. What
must she do? She concludes that she
will become the cabin housekeeper
and try to be useful. Go on with the
story.
CHAPTER Vlll—Continued
With almost an enthusiasm she laid
the pistol on the window stool and start
ed In to clean up. It wat a hard Job
for unaccustomed hands, but she made
out, after a fashion, and when Snell came
in (in hour later he whistled with pleased
Surprise.
“Great! That's what I call housekeep
ing.”
Ethel made no reply. She walked to
tho patched-np rear window and stood
looking <yut at the great cllff-llke slide
that rose for a thousand feet above the
green of the valley.
"1 heard a grouse up the hill," ald
Snell, pulling a rifle from Its bolster.
“How’ll fresh meat go?"
Ethel turned, her head high, her eyea
omlnlous.
Snell raised his hand in mock protest.
“Sure—that's right. You can even cuss
me- If you don’t feel like using that gun
I gave you. But—figuring the whole
thing what's the Use? You got sense
enough to see I was right about putting
in the time housekeeping, why not go a
step farther and make believe we're a
pair of human beings Instead of deadly
enemies? I don't aim to take advantage
of your talking to me, If that's what
you're 'frald of.”
Ethel spoke impulsively. “Oh, why
did you do it? You—you aren't bad
you, oh, how could you do such a ter
rible thing?"
Snell smiled at her with boyish friend
liness.
"J\ist plain lnnesomeness—maybe. I'm
used to knocking around all over, but 1
ain't often batched It alone for long. I
Just klnda thought It would be good fun
to have someone to talk to.”
“But why pick on a strange girl? I—
you—why- why did you do It?"
"I ll tel! you." Snell's eyes took ou
that steely hardness that she had noted
that first night. "It was either take you
that way—or kill a man!”
"What do you mean?”
“Ain't you guessed that? Can't you
figure why that bird's automobile busted
right near that cabin, and why he had
all them rotes and a lot of grub? And
didn't he try to back out when he first
•aw that the cabin wasn't empty?’
Ethel tried to stare angrily, but her
eyes dropped avay.
“Well, if you dtdn't gness anything, I
did. And when he tried to hire me to
get out and leave him the cabin. I Just
figured I'd have to do something.”
Ethel walked slowly toward the door
to the big room.
"Don't worry about It," Snell called
after her "It ought to be worth a bad
spent winter to get rfd of a g*u.v like
that. Weil, so long, I’m going to get
that grouse. Oh. say here's your gun.
Better keep it handy—there might be a
coyote come sneaking around.”
CHAPTER VIII.
A second week passed, a week of grow
ing interest to Ethel, a busy week for
Snell, who was hard at work repairing
the cabin against the coming of tha heavy
winter rains. He cut a giant pine, split
It Into shakes and puncheon planks and
built a stable for the stock. However,
tho animals seldom came In. They had
fob ad a paradise of feed down by the
eroek and a warm shelter In the timber.
Snell killed a deer one morning within
sight of the Ethel helped to ent
up the meat and to store It In a rock
hole tilled with Ice that Snell had packed
from a frozen lake nt the head of the
valley. And when the work was done

she was surprised at her feeling of ela
tion. She had really done something.
“I'm going to try for a bear next
week,” said Snell. “There may be one
that hasn’t holed u; yet., A lot of bear's
lard would sure help out.”
That was the first hint that Ethel had
had that the rations might run low owing
to her presence. But from her casual
sight of the provisions she had imagined
that there was enough for an army. Sacks
of flour and boxes of canned goods;
many slabs of, bacon and a pote hung
With half a dozen smoked hams.
Once she was near to a question. She
had often heard her father tell of the
.starvation diet of wandering prospectors.
Wasn’t it a little strange that this trap
per should have such a supply of ex
pensive provisions? But the question
(dipped aside wilhout arousing enough
thought to make a lasting impression.
Snell returned early from his first day
after hear. He was strangely silent a
he went about the cooking. In view of
his glumness Ethel tried a joke. It must
have been a success for Snell's face light
ed instantly. Whatever had been worry
ing him was at once forgotten.
“This old valley has changed some
since I was here ten years ago,” he said
"But there’s lotsof game here yet. After
[ get that bear we'll set out a few traps."
There followed day after day In which
Snell trailed doggedly after that bear.
“I’ve got one spotted,” he announced
one night to Ethel, “but I don't seem to
ba able to get a sight of him. Suppose
we go out and get another deer tomor
row ?”
Ethel looked up quickly. “I believe I’d
like that,” she said.
So they went hunting together, and
two days later Ethel accompanied Snell
upon the long tramp after the bear. And
when they encountered Bruin early In
the day and make Yhe kill Snell insisted
that Ethel was the lucky cause of their
success.
•JYou'll have to practice shooting.” he
said. “Then if I should break an arm or
j get laid up you could bring In the meat.”
i Ethel shuddered at the picture brought
i up by his suggestion.
| “Oh—I —never thought of that. What
would happen away out here If you did
—break your arm?”
Snell, busy skinning the bear, did not
look up.
“Oh, that wouldn't be eo bad. You’d
set It for me—and get It crooked. I
set —” he broke off quickly and bent to
his work.
Ethel laughed brokenly. “1 can see
i myself setting a broken bone. Well, you
must be careful.” She shuddered. “I
don't know what I'd do If you got
hurt."
CHAPTER IX.
Ethel's Interest In mountain life wa*
; too sudden to be altogether healthy.
There were bound to be relapses. A
: aerlous one came on about a week after
' they killed the bear.
, She had arisen that morning with a
dull headache and a malignant attack
of the blues. When Snell asked her to
accompany him on a trap-setting expedi
tion she snapped an angry refusal and
retired to her room without washing the
dishes.
Then the fact that Snell calmly ignored
her temperamental attack and went on
about hi* business drove out* what little
1 of reason remained in her head. She
! threw herself upon the bed and sobbed
j out her lonely self-pity.
! “He’s a beast!” she moaned. “He might
at least stay—oh, I—l must get away!"
I Often she had vaguely wondered what
I lay across the narrow valley. Why not
• find out? In ten minutes she bad
donned her overall hiking suit and her

SATURDAY.
Right after lunch Mrs. Hooper and
Henry and the children started to look
at the house to which they had been di
rected by one of the men In the office
who had beard that the Hoopers were
still trying to find a suitable place to
live.
“I know how hard it is. Hooper,” th*
man had said, “if you have come from a
country town where you owned your own
home to find what you are looking for.
1 had the same experience when I came
here six years ago. I. finally took tho
best house I could find, which wasn't
at all what I had in mind, and began
fixing it up and now I’ve bought It.”
“Well I hardly expect to do that,"
Henry had replied, “because I have no
ambition to own another ho ise.”
“But Mrs. Hooper may h'.ve.’’ laughed
the man, “It was my wife who brought
my owning the place about, I assure
you.”
Henry repeated the man’s conversa
tion to Mrs. Hooper as they walked
along In the direction of the car watch
would take them to the address for which
they were looking ”
“No thank you,” said Mra. Hooper a
! trifle slangily. I’m not goi lg to im
prove any more property. '. shall al
ways live in hopes of going beck to my
own home In Mayfield."
“It really doesn't look as if we ever
would Mary,” replied Henry quietly. “As
long as I'm able to work I'll probably
have a Job here, and there would never
tie anything for me to do again In May
field. We might as well face that situa
tion right now,” so why turn your face
against the possibility of making a per
manent home here? Don't you like Indi
ana polls?”
“Oh, very much indeed,” exclaimed Mrs.
Hooper enthusiastically. “Every day
that I've been out I’ve seen new things
that really attract me, and the people
have such a kind, friendly look. I know
when we once settle In some neighbor
hood and I get acquainted that I shall
be very content.”
"Well, then,” said Henry, “If the house
is anything like my friend at the office
says it Is, I shall be very much In favor
of taking It, even If It doesn't come up
to your expectations of what you think
you must have. As I've been thinking
It over, anyhow,” continued Henry, “I
believe all the things you've been looking
for in those booses you have seen are
the very improvements we made our
selves In the Mayfield house during all
these years k hat we’ve been calling It
“I guess you are right, Henry, come
to think of it,” admitted Mrs. Hooper.
' The old house was really a very dilapi
dated looking affair when we first
bought it—much worse than any of these
places I'Te seen here.”
“I thought so,” exclaimed Henry, tri
umphantly. “What you have In mind
Is largely sentiment and I’ll warrant
you won t be six months in any one ot
these places before It will have dozen*
of touches that will remind ns of th*
Mayfield house."
As they approached the address for
which they were looking Mrs. Hooper
said. “This looks like a very nice street
indeed, and if it is that house next to
the corner it looks very attractive.”
“One of the fellows I like best at school
lives on this street,” said Roger turning
back to meet bis mother and father who
with Betty between tbe'm were following
him and Helen.
The house at which they stopped was
a two-story one with a little lawn and
garden plot in front. It had evidently
Just been vacated, as bits of furniture
packing was still scattered about when
they opened the front door and It had
the feeling of someone having lived la
It recently. There was a square hall that
opened Into a living-room on one side and
a dining-room on the other with a good
sized kitchen and pantry and laundry
and a maid's room with a bathroom in
the back. Upstairs there were four big
bedrooms with a small alcove dressing
room off of the front bedroom and a bath
room and linen closet, besides a good
sized room in the attic. Everything
looked clean and sanitary and there
were electric lights a9 well as gas.
"Oh I like tnis,” exclaimed Mra.
Hooper.
“And the rent Is Just what we can
pay,” said Henry. “Fifty dollars.”
"But it is so huge it will take a lot of
furniture,” considered Mrs. Hooper rue
fully.
••We will get just what we need first,"
advised Henry, “and buy things as we
go along."
“Let s take It," said Mrs. Hooper.
And so It was settled.
