LOOKING FOR THE LIGHT The infinities of suffering Sally bad seen did not prevent her heartstrings twisting at the grief of little Marie Hurdla. For an instant, as Sally looked at her. she seemed a ghost of her own self. Back flashed the memory of that awful night in Phlllipsburg, when she. Sally, had buried her face in her trembling hands and had stabbed her fcreast with repetitions of the word Jilted!" Was this another heart that must endure what hers had? "Don't, dear, don't'." pleaded Sally, reaching across the small, table and gently pulling the girl's hands from her wet face. "It's only that you're tired and nervous. Soon you'll get word from him and find he's safe. Then you'U laugh at your own fears. He he is worth a good girl's love. Come tell me how long you have known him?" Marie's eagerness to talk of Steve was pathetic. She mopped her eyes with her damp handkerchief, caught her breath in a series of after-sobs like a child and set about telling her story. She had met him, it seemed, coming over on the steamer. She had been wretchedly seasick, homesick and afraid. Stephen had begun his ministrations with slices of lemon and ended them with letters written hastily from engineering headquarters and field dugouts. The real motives that prompted his attention in between, Sally could only guess at from Marie's recital. "He was so wonderful," she kept repeating. "Always bo thoughtful and kind. We all came to Paris together his corps and our telephone unit He came to see me whenever he could

snath time. He took me places and did much to cheer me. "Then he got crders and left Paris for the north somewhere. I had two notes. Then nothing. I heard through the signal corps that he was wounded and was at a base hospital near Clermont. He was there a long time. When he came back he was oh, I can't tell you! Different preoccupied. Kind and splendid as before, but somehow as if he were only going through the motions of things not with his mind In it. Do you understand it all? I'm afraid I'm telling it very stupidly." "No, dear, you're not I understand it all quite well." Sally spoke gently, her voice dropping unconsciously as though she were soothing some wounded, suffering soldier. She wa3 very sorry for little Marie. But it was hard to know what to say. Marie's eyes were fixed upon her, big and pleading. They were lovely, soft eyes, deep and brown like a seal's; but they were the eye of a child, impetuous and inexperienced. "I suppose you think me bold," she went on, looking down at her plate and playing with the bits of cake it still held, "for telling you so much. But I felt you were sympathetic, and you're older thaa I, and a nurse, and wise, and used to people's troubles. "Tell me something, Miss Orme " Marie lifted her big eyes swiftly to Sally's face. A sudden thought seemed to. have electrified her. "Was there any woman in his life when you knew him? Any one he cared for? Was

there is there? Is there?' she re-i

peated, gripping Sally's hand and giving it a little shake as it to speed her response. (To be continued.)

WITH THOSE IN ARMY AND NAVY

This column, containing news of Richmond and Wayne county soldiers and sailors, will appear dally in the Palladium. Contributions will be welcomed.

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Helms have received word from their son Chester,

that he has arrived safely in France. He writes that they have seen no frame houses, all of them being made of either brick or stone, and that he has not seen a field of corn cince he arrived. However, he says that grapes are raised in abundant groups such as we would call fields in this country. In these fields one horse generally is doing all the pulling, while if two are used they are hitched one in front of the other. Helms stated that the weather had been fine since his arrival in France. Mrs. Carrie Srhepmann, 242 South Efghth street, has received word that her fon Carl, has arrived safely overseas. Sergeant Phares Hiatt, who is stationed at Camp Taylor, is in Richmond on a leave of absence visiting relatives and friends. He expects to enter an officers' training camp soon. Two letters were received Wednesday morning by Mrs. Elizabeth Candler from her son Roscoe Candler who is in France. This is the first word that had been received from him since he arrived five weeks ago. Charles Gaeda, who is in training at West Point, near Camp Taylor, Ky., spent Sunday with Mrs. Charles Gaeda at her home on South F street.

Mrs. Hazel Boyd, of Greensfork, Ind., has received word from her husband. Sergeant Clarence Leo Boyd, that he has arrived safely overseas. Mrs. Bessie Perry, 117 North Fourteenth street, has received a letter from her brother, Harrison Isenhower, who is in France. Isenhowtr says that he had a very enjoyable voyage over and plenty of entertainment, such as moving pictures. Since arriving in France he states that the weather has been fine and that the country is very beutlful now. He 6ays that they went to a small town near by a 6hort time ago, to attend an entertainment given by an Amcricn actress. Charles L. Jones, who has been In France a year with the regular army, has been given a commission as second Lieutenant. Jones is the brother of Mrs. Carl Essenmacher of Main street. In his letter to his sister, he

says that there were 1,000 in the officers' school over there and 350 of them were commissioned. Jones enlisted in the regular army at the time of the Mexican trouble two years ago. Lieut. Thomas Govan is now located at Camp Devens, Ayre, Mass. Lieutenant Govan is in the medical corps. Sergeant George L. Kllgus, who Is stationed at Camp Upton, N. Y., has written his parents saying that he was leaving for overseas at once. In his letter telling of his departure for France, he writes: "A soldier is willing to give not only his life but every cent of his money to Uncle Sam, and the people of the country should be willing to do likewise. "Faith in the government of the United States is the one thing need

ed," the letter continued. "Too many people are willing to listen to idle words and then when they repeat them, enlarge upon them. These rumors, largely the result of German propaganda, should be contemptuously set aside by anybody who calls himself

a patriot. And to hang a flag over

one's door is not the height of patriotism. Get behind the flag with money and cold steel." Ten Richmond men have been stationed at Camp Beauregard. La. Six of them have just recently been transferred to the 39th U. S. N. G., and sent overseas. They are: Raymond E. Jones, Merle Gross, John Yedding, Paul Moon, Thomas Littlejohn, Roland Zimmerman. The following men are still stationed at Camp Beauregard but expect to leave soon for an eastern port preparatory to sailing: LeRoy Moore, 141 Field Artillery; Raymond Hackman, 141 Field Artillery; Charles Williams, Sanitary Train; Ernest L. Green, 141 Engineers. Relatives of Charles P. Locke, 207 West Seventh street, Cincinnati, Ohio, have received word from him from Camp Giessen, Germany, where he has been since late in July. He said in bis letter that he was well and expected to be out of prison soon, but gave no reason for his hopeful outlook. The fact that he had been taken prisoner wa3 made known to his relatives some time ago through the war department. Locke's mother, Mrs. Lucy Locke, lives in Cincinnati. He has cousins in Cambridge City, who are making every effort through the Red Cross channels to supply him with food and clothing. Seldon Phillips arrived here Monday evening from the Wright aviation field at Dayton, for a thirty days' visit with his parents. Phillips has been

j confined in the base hospital for four

months with a serious case of spinal meningitis. Harry L. Cause, who enlisted in ths Signal corps of the army will leave for Indianapolis Thursday to take his final examination. His home is in Milton.

The following letter was received

i Wednesday from Rudolph Price, son

of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Price. Price received his degree from Earlham college in June. He has been in France for several months. "Dear Dad I am located at last with a definite organizatioiL We are assigned to the French army in an ambulance section of 45 men and one first lieutenant M. R. C. "We are now in a camp but it is very much like sjoing to school. Our program consists of lectures, 45 minutes each, on motor cars, engines, driving, maps, hygiene, French, etc.

Our training is about complete and we i

will go out very soon. Our work will be carrying wounded from the field to the evacuation hospitals. Our ambu

lances are Fords carrying two couche'

(stretcher patients) and four assis

(sitting patients). Our camp is an old convent with a large ancient church. The convent is about 800 years old and at one side there Isa sunken garden with an old arens of Peppin le Bref, father of Charlemagne who is said to have fought a lion here. F- is the chateau Napoleon used for headquarters. Close by is the old church where he was christened. Some of the buildings at F date back 18 centuries. We have real cots with springs and real mattresses! Also a double mess

ration; one from the United States army and one from the French. Night before last we were called upon to fight a fire in the little village. Our camp, the little village and the surrounding country are beautiful. The sanitary conditions of the camp are beyond reproach. Most of the men are college fellows from different universities and are a fine lot of fellows. We do not know how long we will be here but probably not long, that is, we will go out when the Huns start another drive. Today, July 14, is the French national holiday. Like July 4 is to us, and we have big celebrations on.

ed to down the aeroplane of Lieut.

Harry Shafer, well known in Richmond and formerly of Brookville, as he vividly describes his experiences to Harlow Haas in a recent letter. Lieutenant Shafer was doing observation work over the enemy's lines, and was surrounded by ten planes to protect him, when the American squad was attacked, and the fire concentrated on the observer. Although his plane was struck nine times, one shot piercing the gas tank, the Lieutenant was able to glide down behind the American lines, and land safely.

Two days before, Lieut. Shafer was

brought down disastrously by the enemy. Lieutenant Shafer was superintendent of the Oxford Ohio, schools two years ago. e received his commis

sion as first lieutenant through the j first officers' training camp held at j Indianapolis, and was stationed for a while at Camp Taylor in the infantry. I He was transferred later to the avia-1 tion division, and was trained to be an j expert observer. He has visited in

this city many times, ana wnue ne

SOLDIER PREDICTS SPEEDY END OF WAR

Mr. and Mrs. Walter Dalbey of South Twelfth street received five letters Wednesday morning from their son, Herbert, who is in France. He is in the field artillery and has ben "over there" for a year. He is at the front now and it "certainly isn't any picnic either," he says. Dalbey's letter was very optimistic and he said the Americans were making rapid progress and he thinks that the men who are being drafted now, will never see active service. In describing some of the homes which the French were forced to leave, he said no one could ever realize the waste and destruction over there unless he hd actually seen it. Dalbey is in good health and says he is enjoying life there.
