Wanlta-A Romantic i ale Of Days ..sa9
When Old Fort Edwards Flourished

Wanitas - pretty romance based
upon an actual happening, the order
to the officers In the frontier forts to
give up their Indian wives or leave

Virginia Wilcox WINS. The story is
of the days Of old Fort Edwards
which will be perpetuated by the

the recent campaign, or of former
