Mrs. Wrigley Leaves Us

Mrsu Sarah Wrigley, daughter of the most noted mayor Richmond ever had, and for many

years librarian of the Morrisson-Reeves library, is now making her home with her son in Albion.

Her departure from Richmond signalizes the

removal of the last link between old Rifchmond,

the straggling town of ante-bellum days, and

the modern Richmond.

Mrs. Wrigley was the last person who could give us first hand knowledge about the old pio

neers and who could trace by personal observa

tion the, growth of our institutions. Much of this

knowledge has been handed down to a later gen

eration in the articles that Mrs. Wrigley contrib

uted from time to time to the press.

A community seldom appreciates the value of

preserving in its archives the reminiscences and autobiographies of its pioneers. Only when the

historian delves into the past or a person inter

ested in some institution or movement attempts

to penetrate the haze of yesteryear does the val ue of this personal information assert itself. An aged person who has lived in one commu

for the Richmond of today and always was will

ing to talk to newspapermen and historians about

the days that are gone. The city loses one of its respected citizens.

Roosevelt and LaFollette Col. Roosevelt is the most noted of apostle of preparedness in the United States. He spoke of adequate military defense when others scoffed at him. Coupled with his insistence on military

preparedness was ms otner great message

Americanism. A few days ago, he remarked, "If I were this minute a member of the United States Senate I would be ashamed to sit in that body until I found

out some method of depriving Senator LaFol

lette of his seat in that chamber which he now disgraces by his presence there." The colonel's stricture is typically Rooseveltian. A few of our senators do not seem to appreciate that we are at war with a great military power and that any speech or doctrine that lessens the patriotism of people is a blow struck in behalf of the Kaiser. Dangerous and unpatriotic thoughts are being planted in the minds of our citizens by men of the LaFollette type and by the German newspapers. Some of these periodicals are spreading a propaganda that is sowing seeds of unrest. They are attempting to make our people dissatisfied with war conditions, seeking to frighten our young men into fearing army life. The suggestion often expressed that foreign language newspapers ought to be suspended until the war is over is gaining acceptance in many quarters where the vicious nature of their work is understood.

Spreading the Defense Council Two members of the Indiana State Council of Defense were here this week to spread the gospel of defense. They told us that the co-operation of every man, woman and child is needed to win the war. The man who conserves his plant, his business, his strength, his health, is doing his bit for the nation. The woman who canned fruit and vegetables this summer, who used good judgment in the regulation of her household, did her share for the national defense, and the child that patriotically helped his father and mother can be counted as a young patriot. Modern warfare has so many ramifications that reach out into the national life that every citizen is affected in some manner. -If the individual subordinates himself to the wisdom and advice of the men whom the government summons to help push the war through to a victorious consummation, he is doing a patriotic duty. The Indiana State Councvil of Defense is trying to inculcate this kind of patriotism and to bring the people of the state into a full realization of how vitally necessary it is that all of us know how we can best help our government in this titanic struggle. Not the government as an abstraction, but each of us individually and personally has something at stake in the outcome of this war. Its successful outcome for the allies will redound to our benefit. If the allies are defeated all of us must help pay for the defeat, and the chances are that we will pay a greater share of the cost than any nation.

ished. After all there was not much to tell butchery in Belgium Huns and guns and the everlastingly glorious stand that saved Paris and France and Europe. ' "According to the cables our "men are going the records one better. I think that's all," eaid Courtenay. "Then why the stuffiness? asked King. "Why am I talked to at the end of a tube, so to speak?" "You're under arrest!" said Courtenay. "The deuce I am!" I'm taking care of you myself to obviate the necessity of putting a sentry on guard over you." "Good of you, I'm sure. What's it all about?" , "I don't mind telling you, but I'd rather you'd wait The minute you were sighted word was wired down to headquarters, and the general himself will be up here by train any minute.", "Very well," said King. "Got a cigar? Got a black one? Blacker the better!" - He was "out of his bath and remembered that minute that he had not smoked a cigar since leaving India. Naked, shaved, with some of the stain removed, he did not look like a man in trouble as he filled his lungs with the saltpeterlsh smoke of a fat Trichinopoll. And then the general came and did not wait for King to get dressed but burst into the bathroom and shook hands with him while he was

still naked and asked ten questions (like a gatllng gun) while King was getting on his trousers, divining each answer after the third word and waving the rest aside. "And why am I arrested, sir?" asked King the moment he could slip the question In edgewise. "On, yes, of course. Try the case here as well as anywhere. What does this mean?" Out of bis pocket the general produced a letter that smelt strongly of a scent King recognized. He spread it out on a table, and King read. It was Yasmlni's letter that she had sent down the Khyber to make India too hot to hold him. "Your Captain King has been too much trouble. He has taken money from the Germans. He adopted native dress. He called himself Kurram Khan. He slew his own brother ot night in the Khyber Pass. These men will say that he carried the bead to Khinjan, and their word is true. I, Yasmini, saw. He used the head for a passport to obtain admittance. He proclaims a jihad! He urges invasion of India! He held up his brother's head before five thousand men and boasted of the murder. The next you shall hear of your Captain King of the Khyber Rifles he will be leading a jihad into India. You would have better trusted me. Yasmini." "Too bad about your brother," said the general. "The body is buried. How iwwah is true about the head?" -a-r- - : : :

King told him. "Where's she?" asked the general. King did not answer. The general waited - "I don't know, sir." ' "Ask the Rangar," Courtenay suggested. "Where is he?" asked King. "Caught him coming down the Khyber on his black mare and arrested him. He's In the next room! I hope he's to be hanged. So that I can buy the mare " he added cheerfully. King whistled softly to himself, and the general looked at him through half-closed eyes. "Qo in and talk to him, King. Let me know the result." To be continue

Revelations of a Wife BY ADELE GARRISON

Unseen But Overheard " "Would you like to walk a bit, Madge?" Dicky's voice startled me into a recollection of my surroundings. I had been so absorbed in the problem of whether I should or should not accept Lillian Gale as an intimate friend that I did not know that the curtain had fallen on the second act of "Rosemary," nor did I know how the act had ended. My problem was still unsolved. I welcomed the diversion of a turn in the fresher air in the lobby. As we passed up the aisle I felt a sudden tug, then an ominous ripping. The floating chiffon overdrapery of my gown had caught in a seat As Dicky bent to release me his face showed consternation. Almost a length of the dainty fabric trailed on the floor. I have schooled my self-repression for many a weary year. I feared my gown. In which I had taken such pride was ruined, but I would not let any one know that I cared about it. I gathered It up and smiled at Dicky. "It really doesn't matter," I said. "If you'll leave me the woman's dressing room I think I can fix it up all right." Dicky drew a relieved breath. His heartily murmured, "You're a thoroughbred for sure, M,adge," rewarded me for my composure. I was just

woman enough also to be comtortea by the whispered comments of two women who sat just behind the seat which caused the mischief. "Isn't that a. shame that exquisite gown?" and the rejoinder, "But isn't she game? I couldn t smile like that I'd be crying ray eyes out." Dicky left me at the door of the dressing room, pressing a coin slyly into my hand. "You'll tip the maid," he explained, and I blessed him for Jlis thoughtfulness. I had been too absorbed in my gown to think of any-

- An obsequious maid provided me with needle, thimble and thread. She

offered to mend the tear for me, but J bad a horror of being made conspicuous by her ministrations. "If you'll Just let me have a chair in a corner I shall do very nicely," I told her, and was at once snugly ensconced near one of her mirrors behind the very comfortable rampart of an enormously fat woman in an exaggerated evening gown, who was devoting much pains and cosmetics to her complexion. She looked as if she Intended to remain at the particular mirror all the Intermission. I hoped she would stay there, In spite the dagger's looks she was receiving from ether complexion repairers who coveted her place, for she was an effectual shield from, curious eyes.' Tn mv iov I found that the gown

was not ruined, and that it could be repaired without much expense or trouble. Even the temporary mending I was doing disguised the break. I was so interested in the mending rthat I was completely lost to my surroundings, but the sound of a familiar name brought me to with a jerk. "Did you see the Dickybird and his marble . bride?" . A high-pitched yet rather sweet voice asked the question, end a deep contralto answered it "Yes Indeed, and I saw the way Lil

lian Gale was rushing them. For my part I don't think that's quite clubby of Lll. Of course she's got into the way of thinking she has a first mortgage on the Dickybird, but she might give that beautiful bride a chance for her life before she forecloses." "What's the secret of Lil's attraction for Dicky Graham, anyway?" the soprano voice queried. "She's agood seven years older than he is, and both her rast and her youth are rather frayed at the edges, you know." "Oh! love's young dream, and the habit of long association," returned the contralto. "I've heard that Lil was Dicky's first love. She was a stunner for looks nineteen years ago, and Dicky was just young enough to be swept off his feet." "That must- have been before Lil married that unspeakable Morten, the fellow she divorced, wasn't it?" interrupted the soprano. "Yes, it was," the contralto answered. "I don't know whether Dicky has been half in love with Lil all these years or not, but he certainly has been

her best friend. And now comes the news of his marriage to somebody the crowd never heard of." "Well, I think Lil may say goodbye to her Dickybird now," returned the first speaker. "That bride is quite the prettiest piece of flesh and blood I've seen for many days." "She is all of that," agreed the other. "She holds all the best cards, but you'll find she is too statuesque and dignified to play them. I saw her face tonight when Lil was talking to her. She is not accustomed to Lil's kind, and she does not like her friendship with Dicky." "You can't blame her for that," interjected the soprano. "I am sure I would not like to see my husband dancing attendance on Lillian Gale." "No, of course not," the contralto replied, "but she will be just fool enough to show Dicky her feeling, and Dicky, who is the soul of loyalty to his friends, will resent her attitude and try to make it up to Lil and Harry by being extra nice to them. It's too bad. But then, these marble statue sort of women always sacrifice their love for their pride or their fool notions of propriety." "It will be as good as a play to watch the developments," the soprano commented. "Come on, we'll be too late for the curtain."

At Jamrud they were given food and their rifles were taken away from them and a guard was set to watch them. But the guard only consisted of two men, both of wlom were Pathans, and they assured them that, ridiculous though it sounded, the British were actually willing to forgive their enemies and to pardon all deserters who applied for pardon on condition of good faith In the future. That night they prayed to Allah like little children lost and found. The women crooned love-songs to their babies over the clear fires and the men talked and talked and talked

until the stars grew big as moons to weary eyes and they slept at last, to dream of khaki uniforms and karnel sahibs who knew neither fear nor favor and who said things that were so. It is a mad world to the Himalayan HUlman where men in authority tell truth unadorned without shame and without consideration a mad, mad world, and perhaps too exotic to be wholesome, but pleasant while the dream lasts.
