VIVIAN MARTIN COMING TO THE MURRETTE
The passionate credulity sounded in . BTery vibration ot her voice. "Believe as long as yoa can, my lear." Lady Torrens said wistfully, 'and perhaps If anything counts intensely in this life your love will; periaps, after all, it will prove triumphant. - God knows, I wish it with all my heart!" There was a long silence. . "I ought to tell you that I am giving up the stage at Christmas," she said. "But why? Surely you need an occupation now more than ever?", "No; I feel I can't stand the combined strain any longer, and and Robert never liked me to act, yqu know." "So, that's it!" ! "Not wholly. I think perhaps, in fairness to my manager, I would not hive given up yet; but I have had ratfcer an extraordinary adventure. A girl called Cecilia James wrote to me taking for an interview. I decided to tee her, of course; when she told me the wanted to become an actress I expected the usually dreadfully amateurish, self-conscious effort. ; You can imagine my surprise when I : found this girl (she's quite young) could act. She not 'only can act; she1 can act wonderfully. Maynart is to hear her on Monday, and if ho is satisfied he will, allow her to xmderstudy me, and when I retire probably give her my
roles, if she is worth it." , , "It all sounds rather amazing, my dear. I should like to see this wonder lady." : . "She is coming here to rehearse this evening." Rachel glanced at her watch. "She should be here now " Almost at the words Lucy announced "Miss James." - Aloud, in response to Rachel's introduction of Cecilia, she said: "Have you by any chance any people called Townsend?" "Alas, yes!" Cecilia said gaily. "They are o.uite dreadful. They don't recognize me at all Lady Townsend i father's sister." "A-a-ah!" Lady Torrens ejaculated. ."Then you " She stopped, remembering the James history. "Yes." Cecilia said carelessly, "I am and there is a blank curtain, isn't there ?" Rachel returned with the play. In silence Lady Torrens watched end listened. She was a good critic, by virtue of vast experience and a certain literary
"flair," w'jich stood her in good stead. She recognized the truth of Rachel's statement. The girl could act, and she was actually the daughter of that drunken James man!

' We, the colored citizens of Richmond and Wayne county, stand ready to cbey the call and bear our part in the service for our country. Ab an repression of our loyalty and patriotism, in seeking some way In which to V.c cf help, we are presenting at tho
Crliseum. May 25. at 3 p. to. a cantata. j "Calvary" or the "Last Seven Vord3 ci! , Christ." i This is to be given to assist the Red j Ooss' society, the followers of the'
tainted Florence Nightingale, in raising funds to alleviate suffering made by war. A large number have been trained to present this cantata. The public is invited not only to enjoy it but also to show its interest in this common cause. Our fathers have -a record of which we are proud, a record of bravery and loyalty. Thl3 has been demonstrated in every war since 1776. At Bunker Mill, the first blood shed to secure liberty was that of a colored man, Crispus Attucks. To ever call we have responded. We have shared the hardships of battle and given the sacrifice r.f blood. We have been true and we
will continue to bo true to the man. j Cites Record of Colored Men. ! Had it not been for the bravery cf j Iho colored soldier there would have! been no "Perry's Victory." no "Jack-i son's Victory." at New Orleans. In-1 stead of Old Glory floating over a;
United People from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, a dividing line would have existed marked by the stars and bars. Had it not been for the colored soldiers of the Tenth cavalry at San Juan hill, the life of one of our nation's greatest citizens. Theodore Roosevelt,
might have been sacrificed for his i
country. , The record of the colored soldiers at Carrizal, Mexico, is yet fresh in our mlrds. So we, the colored citizens of Richmond and the neighboring vicinities pledge ourselves not to break the record of our fathers, but in service and eacrlfice in repressing any foreign foe which attempts to molest our citizens, threatens our national existence or net our bounds of liberty.

' "In the aristocratic neighborhood of Shepherds Bush!" Cecil laughed.

Scene from "THE LAND OF INTRIGUE"
First Episode of "THE SECRET KINGDOM" Featuring CHARLES RICHMAN and DOROTHY KELLY
Harry Peters of Decatur, Illinois, has moved his family to this place for permanent residence. Mr. Peters i? Traveling Agent for the American Express Company in Southern Indiana and Illinois Mrs. B. A. Carpenter
will entertain the Presbyterian Guild at her home on West Main street, Tuesday afternoon John W. Judklns spent Tuesday in Indianapolis, attending the Scottish Rite meeting. Rev. E. S. Conner of Indianapolis, will occupy the pulpit at the Christian church Sunday morning. The subject of his discourse will be "The Handwriting On the Wall" Mrs. Roy Fraunberg and daughter are spending several days with friends in Indianapolis Mrs. J. W. Beard returned Tuesday from a visit of several days with her sister, Mrs. Laura Sommers, of Fort Wayne.
Some of these days the German people are going to ask Wllhelm if he is carrying this strategic retreat a hit too far. The street fakir can always demand a good-sized hearing but the vender of religion often encounters indifference. Event3 of the last twenty-four hours
may bring home to some folks that there is war and that a little discretion
is better than a long term In prison. As long as women paste flags on
their faces as beauty marks, they will put fads in the new constitution, regardless of the advice of some college
professors. Men who volunteer for army service would hoe a row for their country, too if necessary, but the ones left at homo won't even do that.

What are your mental processes in making up your mind motorwise? What channels do your thoughts take in seeking to determine which motor car is to be your motor car? Isn't it just barely possible that you allow this or that record established by a single car test to over-influence you? Isn't it a fact that your hopes of what your car will do are often colored y what this or that car. "tuned to the minute," has done in a "stunt" test? Surely a safer, fairer way to estimate motor car values is on the average performance of thousands of cars of each make. Then and then only can you feel certain that the car you settle on will live up to your hopes. By all this we do not mean to imply that there is no value in single car tests. We ourselves from time to time have acquainted you with remarkable feats performed by Saxon "Six." Once it was when Saxon "Six" won a noted hill climb in the East against many far higher priced cars. Once it was when Saxon "Six" defeated by fifteen minutes over a 500-mile course a train which is the pride of the West. Once it was when Saxon "Six" thrice vanquished costlier rivals in speed, acceleration and in hill-climbing at the San Diego Exposition. But we merely cited these notable events as instances where Saxon "Sixes" had gone higher than their price class and yet triumphed.
And although you might safely form your decision in favor of Saxon "Six" on the basis of these facts for they were accomplished in each case by stock model cars still we would prefer that you concentrate your consideration on the averages of all Saxon "Sixes." Ask yourself in what other car of like power and size 23 to 24 miles per gallon of gasoline wouldn't be unusual. Yet recently 206 stock model Saxon "Sixes" in a 300-mile non-stop run proved their average to be 2?.5 miles per gallon.
In what other car wouldn't acceleration from standing start to 50 miles per hour in less than 30 seconds be a remarkable feat? Yet this is the average acceleration for Saxon "Six." ' The latest figures show that, so far the average cost of repair parts for all Saxon "Sixes" in use during the past two years is $8.50 per car. "1 Wouldn't that be an unusual endurance record for a single car carefully driven and cared for? Yet it is the average, mind you, on thousands and thousands of Saxon "Sixes.", So it goes throughout Saxon "Six." In every phase of performance you'll find that its average would be noteworthy and unusual if established by another. It Is true, too, in regard to its speed, its power, its quietness of operation, and Its smoothness of power-flow.
