England and the u. S. A.

Edwin Coils Frost of the Vigilantes believes
that Americans should be profoundly thankful
that England is helping them in their war against
Prussian militarism. He expresses himself in
the following words:

was against US. Now she wants to help her out.

constantly whispering in my ear: you
fool, you fool, to imagine you can es-

Dicky has just 'phoned up from the
smoking room to ask me If my hour
isn't up. How his voice clears away
all the miasma OF my miserable
thoughts! Please God, Dicky, 1 am
going to lock up all my old ideas IN

"I'll give you three guesses, Madge.
Dicky stood just inside the door or the
living room, holding an immense par
eel carefully wrapped. His hat was
on the back of his head, his eyes shin

mischief.

"Will none tell me where is the
great, good, wise hahm Kurram
Khan"
81 am he," said King, and he
stepped down toward him, calling to
an assistant to come and bring him
water and a sponge. The blind mans
face looked strangely familiar, though
it was partly disguised by some gum
my stuff stuck all about the eyes.
Taking it in both hands he tilted the
eyes to the light and opened one eye
with his thumb. There was nothing
whatever the matter with it. He open
ed the other.
Rub me an ointment on" the man
urged him, and he stared at the face
again
"Ismail!" he said. YOU"
aye! Father of cleverness. Make
play of healing my eyes!"
So King dipped a sponge in water
and sent back for his bag and made
great show of rubbing on ointment
In a minute Ismail, looking almost
like young man without his great
beard. was dancing like a lunatic with
both fists in the air, and yelling as If
wasps had stung him.
"Aieee-aieee-aieee!" he yelled. Il
see again, I see! Ny eyes have light
in them! Allah! Oh, Allah heap
!, riches on the great wise hakim who
can heal mems eyes. Allah reward
him richly, for l am a beggar and
have no goods!"
The other six blind men came strug-
Cling to be next, and while King rub
bed ointment on their eyes and saw
that there was nothing there he could
cure the whole camp began to surge
toward him and to see the miracle,
and his chosen bady-guard rushed up
to drive them back.
Find your way down the Khyber
and ask for the Wilayti dakitar. He
will finish the cure.
The six blind men, half-resentful,
half-believing. turned away, mainly
because Ismail drove them with words
and blows. And as they went a tall
Afridi came striding down the camp
with a letter for the mullah held out
in cleft stick in front Of him.
Her answer" said 1smail with a
wicked grin.
What is her word? Where is the
Orakzai Pathan?"
But ISma1l laughed ana would not
answer him. It seemed to King that
he scented climax. So did his near
fifty and their thirty friends. He
chose to take the arrival of the blind
men as hint from Providence and
to "go 1t blind" on the strength Of
what he had hoped might happen.
Also he chose in that instant to force
the mullah's hand, on the principle
that hurried buffaloes will blunder.
ITO Khinjan" he shouted to the
nearest man. THE mullah will march
on Khinjan!"
They murmured and wondered and
backed away from him to give him
room Ismail watched him with droop-
ing jaw and wild eye.
Spread it through the camp that
we march on Khinjan! Shout it!
Bid them strike the tents!"
Somebody behind took up the shout
and it went across the camp in leaps
as men toss a ball. There was a
surge toward the tents, but King call
ed to his deserters and they clustered
back to him. He had to cement their
allegiance now or fail altogether, and
he would not be able to do it by ordin-
airy argument or by pleading; he had

The Yearly Meeting

The 'ninety-seventh annual session Of the In
diana Yearly Meeting is being held here this
week The history Of this division of the Quaker
church is almost as old as Richmond, itself. Year
after year, for almost century, Friends have
come to our city during this week. so that the
Quaker meeting" historically considered, is one
of the institutions and annual affairs of our COM
munity life.
Yearly Meeting takes on significance for the
whole community because the founders of Rich
mond and large majority of our citizens years
ago were Friends.
The stamp of our Quaker ancestry is found
everywhere in Richmond. The denomination has
made an impression that cannot be erased. It's
beneficent influence has given noble tone to
our citizenship and elevated the institutions and
communal life of Wayne county.
II Richmond is the Quaker City Of the
West" the sppelation is an honorable one, car
rying with it qualities of refinement, civic probi-
ty conscientious discharge of duty, and desire to
attain lasting and permanent possessions, of
which we may well boast.
The full assets of city are not to be found
solely in the bags of money resting in the vaults
of our banks, or in the hundreds of smoke stacks
that proclaim our industrial grandeur, or in the
beautiful homes that house some of our citizens,
or in the educational institutions that train our
children.
Some Of our best assets are to be found in

A fine augury for our happiness
when such thoughts as this can come
to me on my wedding day!
Dicky is an artist, with all the faults

A week ago l was a teacher, holding
one Of the most desirable positions in
the city schools. We met just six
months ago, two Of the most unsuited
people who could be thrown together.

we begin housekeeping In dear little
apartment near Dicks studio.
Dick had insisted that l give up my
work, and against all my convictions

the high character of our citizens judged as
mass, in our sympathetic and approachable atti-
tude toward movements that make for civic bet
terment, in our struggle to elevate the ideals of
the whole community, in the use we make Of our
money to make this world better place for all
of us to live in.
The Influence of the Friends in developing
this phase of our community life has been so
pronounced and obvious that even new conner
notices it at once.

And while King knelt behind the
mullah and the whole camp faced
Mecca in Observation-Disclosures abase-
ment there came a strange procession
down the midst-not strange to the
Hills, where such sights are common,
but strange to that camp and hour.
Somebody rose and struck them, and
they knelt like the rest; but when
prayer was over and cooking had be-
gun and the camp became a place OF
savory smell, they came on again
seven blind men.
They were weary, ragged. lean -
seven very etterdemalions-and the
front man led them, tapping the
ground with long stick. The others
clung to him in line, one behind the
other. He was the only clean-shaven
one, and he was the tallest. He look
ed as If he had not been blind so long
for his physical health was better.
All seven men yelled at the utmost
OF their lungs. but he yelled the loud
est: "Oh, the hakim-the good no.
KIM" they walled. where is the
famous hakim? We be blind men
blind we be-blind-blind! Oh, pity
us! Is any kismet worse than ours ?
Oh, show us to the hakim! Show us
the way to him! Lead us to him!
Oh, the famous, great, good hokim
who can heal mems eyes!"
The mullah looked down on them
like vulture waiting to see them die,
and seeing they did not die, turned
his back and went into his cave. Close
to the ramp they stopped, and the
front man, cooking his head to one
side as only birds and the newly blind
do, gave voice again in nasal singsong.
