Help Reid Memorial Hospital i Wear a tag tomorrow to help Reid Memorial Hospital. The frequency of appeals for financial aid ought not to discourage us. We Americans as a people are rich. We have not been called on to make the sacrifices that the other world powers have made in the last three years. Reid Memorial Hospital is a local institution. It affords relief for our sick and maimed. It is ably managed. Its Aid Society is made up of women who sacrifice of their time and money to make the supplies that constantly are needed in an institution of the size of this hospital. The contribution you make tomorrow will

onlv be a mite. You will not feel it. You are

" f not eivinsr money .that you need for the necessi

ties of life. In fact, your contribution will come

from your surplus.

HosDitals and orphanages for the care of

sick and dependent men, women and children are

the noblest products of the Christian era. Prior

to the time of Christian civilization, hospitals

and asylums were unknown. Neither Rome nor

Greece knew of this form of charity. Christianity with its message of love did not overlook suffering mankind. It went to its relief. The thousands of hospitals and institutions of benevolence that are supported today by private funds and state expenditures reflect the influence of Christianity. Reid hospital has long ago demonstrated its right to existence in this community. The Aid Society has labored for many years to increase the efficiency and usefulness of the institution. Buy a tag to show that you appreciate the worth of the hospital and recognize its necessity in Richmond.

when men and women begin to own their own homes and to lay money aside in the savings banks. ' - The negro is learning citizenship. His teacher of necessity must be the white man. If the environment in which the negro is residing is an

uplifting and noble one, the negro will absorb

that spirit and reflect it in his conduct.

The feeling here between the, two-races

is friendly. This spirit deserves encouragement

and growth. We believe that the negro will re

spond to intelligent consideration of his problems

and that this community has always manifested

a high degree of knowledge in handling the situa tion as it pertains to purely local conditions.

Revelations of a Wife BY A DELE GARRISON

Good Citizenship Among the Negroes Leaders of the race in Richmond on Emancipation Day expressed sentiments of good citizenship that prove that negroes of this community believe in furthering the best interests of the city. It may surprise many of us to know that negroes in Wayne county own property valued at .almost $500,000. This is an excellent showing, proving that many members of the race here are

not squandering their money but are saving it. Good citizenship is encouraged and fostered

Nobody's Too Old for Service

The State Council of Defense is insisting that

the combined effort of every man, woThan and

child in Indiana, in fact in the whole United

States, is necessary to win the great war. This underlying principle is a correct one. No man is too old or too crippled, no woman too feeble, and no child too young to strike a blow for democracy. The press is devoting columns of space to show our citizens where and how each of us may do his duty. Slackers are of two kinds the man who refuses to serve or adopts subterfuges, and the man, woman and child who waste instead of produce. The New York Times, commenting editorially on the universal service demanded of us, points out howwe may do big things for our country by merely doing some little ones. Read the appended editorial on the conservation of sugar, and you will fully understand one thing that the State Council of Defense is teaching: PeoDle freauently express what presumably is sincere

regret that because of age or some other physical disqual

ification they must remain at nome, quiet ana menectuai, while their more fortunate, but not more patriotic, fellowcitizens are privileged to take personal and direct part in the prosecution of the war. As a matter of fact, there is not one of these Americans, man or woman, of any age

above infancy, who cannot serve the country's cause who cannot do it as personally and directly, though in a different way, as the stalwart young fellows who are going to the firing line. All they need do to accomplish this result is to read carefully and heed the successive appeals to be sparing in the use of this or that necessity of life that are coming almost daily from the head of the Food Commission. Mr. Hoover is not asking any of us to go hungry, and still less to approach the starvation line; he is not seeking to impose- restrictions on diet that would result in anything deserving to be called hardship. He simply points to one or another staple of which we should consume a little less than has been our custom in better days, -and he either tells is, or trusts oui; own intelligence to find out, how we can make up for these voluntary deprivations by substituting something else equally nutritious, but less suitable for transportation to our European allies. His latest appeal is for a lessened consumption here of sugar. That, unquestionably, is among the best of foods, and, unquestionably, too, at least ninety-nine out of every hundred of us, if we will, can use less of it and leave a larger amount available for sending to France.

Unless this is done, the supply of that country, already below the limit where scarcity means widespread injury

to health, will fall to the vanishing point.

Of course, there is not much excitement in using one lump of sugar instead of two, in going without some of the cakes and pies that take a lot of it, in cutting down even more rigorously the candy of which we have been in the habit of buying more than was good for us. There will be no special glory in doing it, and no tangible re

ward, but thus we can all help to advance the day of vie

tory, and do, if not the whole of "our bit," at least some

thing practical, useful, and honorable.

Ldman Gale, Dicky and me so freely any cynlcall, rustled out of the dressing room, leaving me absolutely stunned. I felt suddenly faint, and the room appeared to whirl around me. The maid touched me on the arm. "Are you iU, madam e? Here!" and she held a glass of water to my lips. I drank cart, of it and motioned her away. - "I'll be all right in a moment," I murmured. "Thank yqu, but T am quite well." So this was what marriage would

mean to me, a contest with another

woman for my husband's love! A

fierce anger took possession of me.

One moment I regretted my marriage

to Dicky, the next I was fiercely prlnv

itive as any savage woman in my de-

Bire to crush my rival. I could have

strangled Lillian Gale in that moment Then common sense came back to me What was it that woman had said?

had all the best cards In my hand?

Well! I would play them. I felt. sure that Dicky loved me. I would not

jeopardize that love for a temporary

pride. I would eliminate Lillian Gale from Dicky's life, but I would bide my

time to ao it.

Fortunately my mending had been practically finished when I heard

Dicky's name. I took the final stitches, tipped the maid as I returned her sewing things, and turning to the mirror, rubbed my cheek fiercely with a towel to restore the color. The maid

offered me rouge, but I waved her

away impatiently. Thank heaven!

did not need to fight Lillian Gale with

cosmetics as yet.

I met Dicky outside the door of the

waning room witn a smile, we re

turned to our seats as the curtain was rising on the third act. I saw little

either of the act or the expuislte last

one. One line did grip me, however. Prof. Jogram was expostulating with Sir Jasper over his determination to take Dolly away from her youthful

lover, and in the course of his argu

ment said: "Twenty years from now, you won't be able to remember her

name." I grimly made up my mind

that if any name were forgotten in

twenty years it would be Lillian not Margaret. My plan of action was complete. The final curtain fell t up on the cameolike picture of the nonogenarian who recalls his memories, and gathering my cloak around me with something of the same feeling that a soldier of old must have had when he buckled his armor. I followed Dicky to the lobby, where we found Mr. and Mrs. Underwood. 0 , "You're to come to suppef with us," she cried, "just us four. I want to be the first of the crowd to toast your bride. Dickybird. You'll come, won't you!" She looked at me. "I would love to," I replied, smiling at her cordially. "Dicky, we mayr go, may we not?" Was It fancy or did I see the shade of disappointment on Lillian Gale's face at my reception of her invitation. She turned to Dicky. "That's settled, then. Harry, I'll be generous and let you talk to Mrs. Graham. I know you're just dying to. Come, Dicky," and she laid her hand on his arm. - "Nothing doing tonight, Lil." Dick's

KING- of KHYBER RIFLES

Sf Romance, afj$ch?

X&LBOT MUNDY

mturQ

He had picked King to go up the! Khyber on that errand not for nothing. He knew King and he knew the symptoms. Without answering " him King obeyed. He went out of the room into a dark corridor and rapped on the door of the next room to the right. There was a muffled answer from within. Courtenay shouted something to the sentry outside the door and he called another man who fitted a key in the lock. King walked into a room in which one lamp was burning and the door slammed shut behind him. He was in there an hour, and it never did transpire just what passed, for he can hold his tongue on any subject like a clam, and the general, if anything, can go him one better. Courtenay was placed under orders not to talk, so those who say they know exactly what happened in the room between the time when the door was shut on King and the time when he knocked to have it opened and called for the general, are not telling the truth. What is known Is that finally the general hurried through the door and -ejaculated, "Well, I'm damned!" before it could close again. The sentry (Punjabi Mussulman) has sworn to that over a dozen camp-fires since the day. And it is known, too, for the sentry has taken oath on it and has told the story so many times without much variation that no one who knows the man's record doubts any longer it is known that when the door opened again King and the general walked out with the Rangar between them. And the Rangar had no turban on, but carried it unwound in his hand. And his golden hair fell nearly to his knees and changed his whole appearance. And he was weeping. And he was not a Rangar at all, but SHE, and how anybody can ever mistaken her for a man, even in man's clothes and with her skin darkened, was beyond , the sentry's power to guess. But nobody believed that part of his tale. As Yussuf bin All said over the camp-tre up the Khyber later on, "When she sets out to disguise herself, she is what she will be, and he who says he thinks otherwise has two tongues and no conscience!" What is surely true is that the four of them Yasmini, the general, Courtenay and King sat up all night in a room' in the fort, talking together, while a succession of sentries overstrained their ears endeavoring to hear through keyholes. And the sentries heard nothing and Invented very much. But Parian Singh, the Sikh,

who carried in bread and cocoa to them at about five the next morning and found them still talking, heard King say, "So, in my opinion, sir, therell be no jihad in these parts. There'll be sporadic raids, of course, but nothing a brigade can't deal with. The heart of the holy war's torn out and thrown away." "Very well," said the general. "You can get up the Khyber again and join your regiment." But by that time the Rangar's turban was on again and the tears were dry, and it was Partan Singh who threw most doubt on the sentry's tale about the goldn hair. But as the sentry said, no doubt Partan Singh was jealous. There is no doubt whatever that the general went back to Peshawur in the train at eight o'clock and that the Rangar went with him in a separate compartment with about dozen Hillmen chosen from among those who had come down with King. And it is certain that before they went King had a talk with the Rangar in a room alone, of which conversaafterward that he did not overhear one word; and he had to go to the doctor with a cold in his ear at that. He said he was nearly sure he heard weeping. But on the other hand, those who saw both of them come out

were certain that both were smiling. It is quite certain that Athelstan King went up the Khyber again, for. the official records say bo, and they never lie, especially in time of war. He road a coal-black mare, and Courtenay called him "Chikki" a "lifter." Some say the Rangar went to Delhi. Some say Yasmini is In Delhi. Some say no. But it is quite certain that before he started up the Khyber King showed Courtenay a great gold bracelet that; he had under his sleeve. Five men saw him do it. And if that

was really Rewa Gunga in the general's train, why was the general so painfully polite to him? And why did Ismail insist on riding in the train, instead of accepting King's offer to go up the Khyber with him? One thing is very certain. King was right about the jihad. There has been none in spite of all Turkey's and Germany's efforts. There have been sporadic raids, much as usual, but nothing one brigade could not easily deal with, the paid press to the contrary notwithstanding. King of the Khyber Rifles is now a major, for you can see that by turning up the army list. But if you wish to know what transpired in the room at Jamrud Fort while the general and Courtenay waited, you must ask King if you dare; for only he knows, and one other. It Is not likely you can find the other. But it is likely that you may hear from both of them again, for "A woman and intrigue are one!" as India says. The war seems long, and the world is large, and the chances for intrigue are almost infinite, given such combination as King and Yasmini and a love affair. And as King says on occasion: "Kuch dar nahin hai! There is no such thing as fear! " Another one might say, "The roof's the limit!"

tone was laughing, but final. "I'm awfully sorry, Madge, but If I don't get to work early tomorrow on that cover these sketches will' do me no

good. I must work while they're fresh

in my mind. I know what your parties are, Lil, till daylight doth appear

and all the rest of it. Some other

time, and soon, but not tonight"

He patted the hand which lay on

his arm with an exaggerated little ges

ture, then placed it on her husband's

coat sleeve.

Take her. my boy, he burlesqued,

and be happy. Good night," and be

fore I could recover my breath at the

unexpected turn of things we were in

the taxi, rolling homeward.

"Did you mind very much about the supper, sweetheart?" asked Dicky, drawing me close to him. Not very much," I answered demurely, nestling closer. But my heart was singing!

And bear in mind, for this Is important: King wrote Yasmini a letter in "Urdu from the mullah's cave, in which he as good as gave her his word of honor to be her "loyal servant" should she choose to return to her allegiance. He is no splitter of hairs, no quibbler. His word is good on the darkest night or wherever he casts a shadow in the sun. "A man and his promise a woman and intrigue are one!" THE END.

FREEDOM'S CALL There are many hearts attune To the voice of Freedom's call; Many lives for her are offered, For her they live or fall, 'Til her banners planted wave O'er all peoples true and brave, A universal sign. There are many hearts deep touched By the proud oppressor's wrong; But the cry of anguished peoples Will be answered millions strong. There shall rise a countless host Blotting out the tyrant's boast, For Freedom's call is heard. No more shall a trodden people Be ruled by a hand of blood ; No more ehall a peaceful nation Be bathed In a crimson flood, But the power of cruel might
