Red Mill and Marine Casino Opened Last Night
at Cape MayGreat Doings in Chest
nut Hill Tomorrow
fTIHB Murine Cnslno nnd Red Mill opened
A' hut night flt Cape May with ereat
manifestations, of life nnd liberty. Mr
Johnnon, who lends the orchestra. nave all
the receipts for admission and Individual
dances to the Red Cross, which was soma
fine piesent, I'm thinking, for every man,
woman nnd child in Capo May went thera
and danced. It wns simply Kieat. You
know how fine the floor Is If you have
ever been there, and the orchestra was
very good.
Whoever would have thought the day
would como that one would see Mr. and
Mrs. Evans Roberts promenading the
boardwalk at Cape May! It tcally Is
funny, as they have always gone to much
payer places, such as Nanagansett And
then there Is Kdwlna PJruner 'Wetherllt
Will wonders never cease! Mrs. Wetherlll
arrived on Thursday, having already
rented a cottage at Chelsea, but as her
husband, Heckschcr, has been stationed
in Capo May, thero was nothing else to be,
done.
Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Church are waiting
for their son to recover from the measles
and the quarantine to be lifted, and then
they will open their cottage, which is Just
back of the Harry Worths.
The Chris Hagens went down Wednes
day with four sons, ill suffering with
day with four whoqplng cough sons.
They are all beautiful children, but 1 am
afraid on account of the disease they will
not be as popular as heretofore.
Alva Sergeant will have as her guest on
Monday, for several weeks. Emmnllue
Robinson, of Baltimore. Emmellne Is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Rob
inson, and is a niece of Mrs. Gowan and
Mrs. Tony Hance, and a very attractive
girl. Alva will not have any trouble get
ting together a crowd for the parties she
has planned In her honor.
The Randolph Justices' house is in the
process of being renovated, and they are
going down for the Fourth.
THE truth of tho old adage that "the
hand that rocks the cradle rules the
world" Is being Impressed upon us more
and more forcibly when we see women
taking an active interest in the organ
ding of clubs and leagues to bring women
all women of every station In life to
gether for ono big purpose. There is a
plan on foot to establish a Chestnut Hill
branch of the Organized League for
Women's Service, with headquarters at
8411 Germantown avenue. In order to
create enthusiasm and also to stimulate
the Interest already created, thero will
be a patriotic rally tomorrow afternoon
at the Philadelphia Cricket Club, at 4
o'clock, to which all women have been
Invited. Come and Join others in estab
lishing this league, then go and register
your particular qualification for service.
The rally will be one of tho biggest
things Chestnut Hill has seen for some
time, and no more fitting day could have
been chosen for the discussion of the best
methods for organrxed service.
1 understand that the Orpheus Club
will sing, and that time will be, among
other things, a ilag-ralslng, a drill by the
Home Defense Guard of St. Martins and,
last, but not by any means least, drills by
members of the Girl and Boy Scouts.
The women who have sent out an
appealing letter to residents of t'licfct
nut Hill, urging them to attend the
rally, are: Mrs. Edgar W. Baird, Mrs.
Robert Blcknell, Miss Josephine Dallett,
Mrs. Thomas Dunn, Miss Julia Heebner,
Mrs, E. 8. W. Farnum, Mrs. Charles Wol
cott Henry, Miss Frederick Landstreet,
Mrs. Arthur II. Lea, Mrs. H. Gordon Mc
Couch, Mrs. Frederick Packard, Mrs.
George Willing, Mrs. C. C. Tyler. Mrs.
Franklin Spencer Edmonds. Mrs. William
George and Mrs. Kdwaid Walter Clark.
CAN you Imagine Eleanor Hopkins
Jones doing without charity work?
Well, she Just couldn't, either, and so she
has started "Red Crossing" in the heart of
the West Virginia mining country. With
a number of other women In Amhersldale,
the nearest thing to a town down there,
he has undertaken to furnish supplies
for her sister Letltla McKlm's hospital in
France. The materials have been ordered,
and Mrs. Jones will soon be brushing
gauze ravellngs from her sklit with the
rest of us. Not content with Just work,
moreover, Amherstdale lias raised some
1400 for the Red Cross. How? By means
of the usual posteis, of course, and the
Inevitable pair of pretty girls in Red
Cross costumes at the door of the movies.
What would we do without movies, any
how? So you see, a mere change of name and
address lias not affected Eleanor's large
ness of heart and Irresistible desire to do
good wherever she may be.
b
DID you know that the splendid little
Women's Club of Wyncote, of which
Mrs. Fred Campbell, of Mather road,
Jenkintown, is president, is organlring a
Junior membership?
It is a current events club and some of
the most fascinating subjects are dis
cussed at the meetings. It has a speaker
ach week, and always a most enthusi
astic audlenco.
Last Sunday afternoon the club members
Joined forces with the Women's Army and
Navy Committee and entertained fifty
marines at the home of Mrs. Spencer K.
Mulford, of Wyncote. There was bowling,
tennis and baseball In the afternoon, and
then a Bupper was served, followed by
speeches by Colonel John' Gribbel and
Mrs. Campbell.
It was really a wonderful day for the
'toys." NANCY WYNNE.

The right In the Mill
AS DALROY hut st open the door, which
was locked, the heartrending screams
of the tin ee women mingled with the vile
oaths of their assailants He had foreseen
that the door would probahlv he fastened
and put his wholo strength Into the deter
mination to forco the bolt without warning
The scene which met his eves as he rushed
Into the room wns etched In Rembrandt
lights Htul shadows bv it lamp placed In the
center of the table.
Near a staircase- not that which led to
the lofts, but the main stalrwav of tho do
mestic nart of thn ilwelllng Mmn Joos
was struggling In tho gtlp of the orderly
and one of the lieutenants Another of
these heroes tliev all belonged to a West
phnllsn detachment of the commissariat- -was
endeavoring to overpower Irene His
left arm pinned her left nrm to her waist;
his right arm had probahlv missed n sim
ilar hold, because the girl's right arm was
free She had selied his wrlat nnd was
striving to ward off a brutal effort to pre
vent her from shrieking Busch. that stout
satyr, was seated Ualroy learned subse
quently that the sudden hubbub arose be
cause Irene resisted hla attempt to pull her
on his knee.
The last of tho ounper men was clasp
ing Leontlno to his breast vUth rascally
Intent to squeeze the breath out of her until
she was unable to strugglo further
Now Dalroy had to decide In the fifth
part of a second whence danger would first
come und begin the attack thete The four
officers had laid aside their swords, hut the
lieutenants had retained belts and revolvers
Busch. as might be expected, was only too
pleased to get rid of his equipment His
tunic was unbuttoned, so that he might
"ABOUT FACE"
gorge at ease Somehow, Dalroy Itnew that
Irene would not freo the hand which was
now closing on her mouth The two Wal
loons carried short forks with four prongs
Joos had taken to heart the Englishman's
comment on the disadvantage of a pitchfork
for close fighting and Jan Maertz might
be trusted to deal with the ruffian who was
nearly strangling Leontlne There remain
ed the gallant lieutenant, whose sense of
humor permitted the belief that the best
way to force onward a terrified elderly
woman was to plant a knee against the
small of her back. He had looked around
at once when the door flew open, and his
right hand was already on the butt of an
automatli! pistol Him therefore. Dalroy
bayoneted so effectually that a startled oath
changed Into a dreadful howl ere the words
left his 1IP, Tlle orderly happened to be
nearer than tho officer so. as tho bayonet
did its work Dalroy kicked the lout's feet
from under hlrn. and thrust him through
the body while on the tloor The man who
had once won the Dholepur Cup, which is
competed for by the most famous plg-stlck-ers
In India, knew how to put overy ounce
of weight behind tho keen point of a lance,
because an enraged boar Is the quickest and
most courageous fighter nmong all the fierce
creatures of the Jungle But he was slightly
too near his quarry: the bayonet reached
the stone floor through the man's body and
snapped at the forte.
Then he wheeled and made for Irene's
assailant
The instant Dalroy appeared at the door
the girl had caught the Prussian's thumb
In her strong teeth, and not only bit him
to the bone hut held on With a loud bellow
of "Help" Come quickly'" he released her,
and struck fiercely with his left hand Yet
this gentle girl who had never taken part
In any more violent struggle than a school
romp had the presence of mind to throw
herself backward and thus discount the
blow while upsetting her adversary s bal
ance' But her clenched teth did not let
go It came out long afterward that she
was a nrst-rate gymnast One day, moved
by curiosity on seeing some performance
In a circus, she had essayed the stage trick
of hanging head downward from a cross
bar and twirling- around another girl's body
girdled by a strap worklnr on a swivel at
tached to a strong pad which she bit reso
lutely. Then she discovered a scientific fact
which very few people are aware of The
Jaw Is, perhaps, the strongest part of tha
human frame, and can ektrcise a power
relatively far greater than that of the
hands Of course, she could not hare held
out for lone, but she did thwart and delay
the maddened Prussian during two precious
seconds. Even when he essayed to choke her
he still contrived to save herself by seizing
his free hand.
By that time Dalroy had leaped to the
rescue. Shortening tha rlfU in the way
familiar to all who bare, practiced the
bayonet exercise., he drove it against tha
Prussian's neck. The Jagged stump In
flicted a wound whloh looked worse than It
was ; but the mere shock of the blow rob
bed the man of his senses, and he fell like
a log.
In order to come within striking distance,
Dalroy had to Jump over Busch Old Jops,
piping In a weird falsetto, had sprung at
the fat major and spitted him In the stomach
with all four prongs of the fork Busch
toppled over backward with a fearsome
bowl, the chair breaking under his weight
combined with a frantic effort to escape.
The miller went with 'him and dug the tsrrl.
hla weapan into tha soft body aa though
etvtnar it tnto a truss of straw. Matrts.
ju3Hirtr.fr"'"- n' MUjEtar wont at
man, because one pronr had reached the
German's heart, and he had stilled at once
But Joos thrust and thrust again, even
using a foot to bury the fork to Its shoulder.
This was the most ghastly part of a thrill
ing episode Busch writhed on the floor,
screaming shrilly for meroy, and striving
vainly to stay with his hands the deadly
Implement from eating Into his vitals
That despairing effort gave the miller
n ghoulish satisfaction "Aha"' he chortled,
you laughed at I targe' Laugh now, you
swine' That's for the doctor, and that's
for tnv wife, and that's for my daughter,
and that's for me'"
Dalroy did not attempt to stop him
These men must die They had rome to tha
mill to destroy; It was Just rotributlon that
thev themselves should ba destroyed Ills
coolness In this crisis was not the least
Important factor In a situation rife with
peril. His method of attack had converted
a fight against heavy odds Into a speedy
and most effectual slaughter Hut that
was only the beginning liven while the
fremled veiling of the squirming Busch wns
subsiding Into a frothy gurgle he went to
the door and listened A batten' of artillery
was passing at a trot, and creating din
enough to drown the cries of a hundred
Busches
Ho looked back over his shoulder
Madame Joos was on her knees, praying
The poor woman had no thought but that
her last hour had come Happllv she was
spared the eight of her husband's vengeance
Happllv. ton, none of the women fainted
l.oontlne was panting and sohhlng in
Maertr.'s arms Irene, leaning ngnlnst the
wall near the fireplace, was gating now at
Jons, now nt tho fallen man at her feet,
now at Dalroy But her very soul was on
Ire She. too. had yielded to tha madness
of a life-and-deilth atrnirirle Iter eves
wefe dilated Her bosom rose and fell
with labored breathing. Her teeth were
still clenched, her lips parted as though
she dreaded to And some loathsome taste on

Maertz seemed to have retained his
senses, so Dalroy appealed to him 'Jan."
he said quleilv, "vt must go at once Get
jour master and the others outside Then
extinguish the lamp liurrv ' We haven t
a second to spare "
Joos heard Xstlsfled now that the fork
had been effective, he straightened his small
body and said shrilly. "You go, It .ton like.
I'll not leave my money to be burnt with
my house Now wife, stir yourself. Where's
that key"
The familiar voice roused Madame Joos
from a stupor of fear .the fumbled in her
bodice, and produced a key attached to a
chain of fine silver Her husband mounted
tilmblv on a chair, ran a finger along
one of the heavy beams which roofed the
kitchen found a cunningly hidden keyhole
and unlocked a long narrow receptacle
which had been scooped out of the wood
A more Ingenious, accessible, vet unlikely

ily be Imagined. He took out a consider
able sum of money In notes, gold nnd sil
ver Though a man of wealth, with a sub
stantial account In the State bank, he still
retained tha peasants love of a personal
hoard
Stowing away the money In various
pockets, Joos got down off the chair Busch
was dying, but he was not unconscious.
He had even watched tha ;nlller'H actions
with a certain detached curiosity, and the
old fellow seemed to become aware of the
fact "So," he cackled, "you saw, did ou?
That should annoy you In your last hour,
you fat thief Yes. yes. monsieur. I'll como

"What wood?" put In Maertz
"W cant walk to Maestrlcht by the
main road, you fool "
"That's all right for you and madanie
here, and for Leontlne, perhaps. But I
remain in Belgium. My friends are fight
ing yonder at Liege, and I'm going to Join
them' And these others mustn't try It
Tha fiontler Is closed foi them I was
offered my life only two hours ago If I
arrested them "
"Jan '" cried Leontlne Indignantly
"It's true Why should I tell a lie? I
didn't understand then the sort of game the
Prussians are playing Now that I
know "
"Miss Beresford," broke In Dalroy em
phatically. "If these good people will not
escapn when they may wo must leave them
to their fate "
"Do come. Monsieur Joos," said Irene,
speaking for the flrst time since the tragedy.
"By remaining here ou risk our life to no
purpose "
"Wo are coming now, nia'm'aelle "
Suddenly the miller's alert eye was caught
by a spasmodic movement In the limbs of
the last man whom Dalroy struck down
Tlens!" he cried, "that fellow Isn't finished
with yet "
He was making for the prostrate form
with that terrible fork when Dalroy ran
swiftly, and collared him "Stop that'"
came the angry command "A fair fight
must not degenerate into murder Out you
get now. or I'll throw )ou out'"
Joos laughed. "You're making a mistake,
monsieur." ha said "These Prussians don't
fight that way They'd kill you JUBt for the
fun of the thing If you were tied hand and
foot But let tha rascal live If It pleases
ou As for this one." rind he spurned
lliuvchs body with his foot"h's done. Did
u hear him He squealed like a pig"
Dalrov was profoundly relieved when tha
automatic pistols und ammunition were col
lected, the lamp extinguished, the door
closed and the whole party had passed
through a garden and orchard to the gloom
of tha ravine. Tba hour was about half past
o'clock Twenty-four hours earlier ha and
Ireua were about to leave Cologne by train,
believing with some degree of confidence
that they might be allowed to cross tha
frontier without let or hindrance ' Life was
than conventional, with a eptca of danger.
Now It had descended in the social scale
until they ranked on a par with tha dog
that had gonfc mad and must be slain at
sight The German code of war Is a legal
paraphrase of the trickster's formula,
"Heads I win. tails you lose " The armies
of the Fatherland are ordered to practice
"rightfulness." and so terrorize the civil
population that the Inhabitants of tha
stricken country will compel their rulers to
sue for peace on any terms But woe to
Uiat earns civil population If some small
action of its members resists or avenges
any act of "rightfulness." Soldiers might
murder tha Widow Jacquinot and ravish
her granddaughter, officers might plan a
bestial orgy In the miller's house; but Dal
roy and Joos and Maerts. In punishing tha
one sat of crimes and preventing another,
had placed themselves outside tha law.
Neither Joos nor Maertz cared a farthing
rushlight about the moral consequences of
that deadly struggle In the kitchen, but
Dalroy was m a different case He knew
the certain outcome Small wonder If his
heart was heavy and his brow seamed
"We must halt hers," Dalroy said au
thoritatively, stopping short In the shadow
of a small clump of trees on the edge of
the ravine, a plaoa whtnc there waa a fair
field of view, yet to doie to dansa bruahs
wies that tba beat of aaivar wai avaflable

"Why!" demanded Joos. "I know every
Inch of the way"
"I want to question Maertr," said Dalroy
shortly. "Hut don't let me delay you on
that account. Indeed, I advise you to go
ahead, and safeguard Madame Joos nnd
your daughter. I would even persuade, If I
can, Mademoiselle Rererford to go with
ypu "
"I don't mind listening to Jan's yarn my
self." grunted the miller "And Isn't It time
we had some supper Kilting Prussians Is
hungry work Did you hear Busch? He
squealed like a pig. Leontlne. cut some
chunks of beef and bread and open one of

There was solid sense In the old man's
crude rejoinder Criminals about to suffer
the death penalty often enjoy a good meal
These six people, who had Just escaped
death, or where tha women were concerned
a degradation worse than death, and be

So they ate ns they talked.
Maerts's story was coherent enough
when set forth In detail He was dazed and
shaken by the fall from tho wagon; but
helped by the sentry, who bore witness that
the collision was no fault of his. being the
outcome of obedience to the officer's word.
h contrived to calm the startled horses
Tho officer even offered to find a few men
later who would help to mill the wagon
out of the ditch, so Jan was told to "stand
by" until the column had passed Meaning
no harm, he asked what had become nf his
passengets This naturally evoked other
questions and a search was made, with the
result that the lamp and Dalroy'a discarded
sabots were found. The lamp of course,
was numbered and carried tha Initials of a
German state railway; hut this 'exhihit'
onlv bore out Mnertz's statement that a
man from Alx hnd come In the wagon to
explain to Joos why the consignment of oats
hnd been so long held up in the goods vard
In fact, a squad of soldiers hnd put the
wagon right, and vveie reloading it ui,n
tho bodies of Holnrlch nnd his companion
were discovered In tha stable Suspicion
fell at once on the missing pair Maertz
would have been shot out of hand If an
Infuriated officer had not recolleetod that
by killing ihn Walloon he would probably
destroy all chance of tracing the man who
had "murdered" two of hlit warriors So
MaerU was arrested and dumped Into a
