HEROINES OF HISTORY
What Lady Derby Did to Prone Herself a Good General
By MARK STUYVESANT

her face flushed, and scornfuI!y
she made the following reply:
Your reward for this work
should be that I should hang
you at my gate, but you are
only the foolish instrument OF
the traitors tribe. Tell the in
solent rebel Rigby that ne shall
have neither persons, goods nor
house Of mine. When we are
spent, we shall find a fire more
merciful than he is; ana then my
goods and my house shall burn
in his sight, and we all will seal
our religion and loyalty III the
flames together rather than a
man fall into his handx&
Resolutely she kept her word.
and was valiantly supported by
her followers during the hard
siege, which lasted two months.
Then news was brought that
Prince Rupert and his army were
marching to save her. Her
enemies heard Of this, and re.
treated. Lady Derby had held
her castle with great bravery and
courage, AMI her name is ra.
nembered by her countrymen as
that Of a true heroine.

I'm 1914 q great lady lived In
her castle in Lancashire.
This castle was called La
Thorn House.
Although 1t was strongly forti-
fled with it's great walls, six
feet thick, and its nine imposing
towers, each of which supported
nine cannons and was surround
ed by a medieval moat, tho
owner Of the castle was In great
danger. Protecting he- were
only three hundred men end serv-

body of men was the great parlia-

The mistress of this castle was
Charlotte. Lady DENLY. She was
a beautiful French woman,
daughter OF Claude de Ia Ire
n1ouille, and was left in charge
Of her husbands stronghold when
he departed to join his king,
Charles, and defend the throne
Of England.
Gen. Sir Charles Fairfax, in
command OF the parliamentary
forces, before laying siege to tho
castle, sent to the proud Lady
Derby the following message:
''The Parliament sends you this
ordinance, requiring of you that
you yield up Lathom House upon
honorable conditions, AMI they
declare that their mercy shall
be shown to your husband II he
will submit to their authority"
Lady Derby was highly indig-
nant over this command, for she
felt that her husbands loyalty to
the crown justified. her remain
ing unframed in her home. And
for this reason she asked for a
week In which to determine her
course.
Then followed another message
from General Fairfax, in which
he asked Lady Derby to come
to his headquarters and discuss
with him and his colonels the
necessity Of her abandoning her
castle.
Defiantly and with the high
spirit which was hers, Lady
Derby refused in the following
MESSAGE:
"My birth, my sex and the
honor of my lord demand that
YOU should come to me and not
to you"
To General Fairfax this was
challenge, and Immediately he
led the army against the castle.
From the highest tower, Lady
Derby, herself, flung out the
Royalist banner, and personally
directed the defense Of her home.
She was so brave that one cve-

LUCY LOWELL
|. ON TAKING
AND GIVING

BY LUCY LOWELL.

Dy AOOA 1SUN EAAA4o
We been thinking a great lot
about the difference In two
men I know.
And the more I consider, the
moro it seems that the curious
traits Of each represent a separate
group Of folk who might like to
see themselves. If they'll take
the time. as see the two.
One makes friends, but the
other holds them. The first be-
lieves that people are drawn to
him, but the second takes no
chances. He draws himself to
others!
The first considers deeply and
carefully those whom he meets.
May the acquaintance be fitted
into his scheme for professional
or social advancement? Has the
person more power or wealth
than he?
The second thinks first, Maybe
I'll make q friend Of this per-
son." It's only as an after
thought, and maybe never at all,
that he considers what material
thing he may obtain from new
association.
The first has cultivated a
suaVe personality. He, knows
the charm OF Oriental Quiet-of
the look that seems to speak end
less admiration-of the word .,r
two that suggests depth of char
acter and strength.
The second is noisily exuberant
frank and sometimes awkward
as a small boy-so interested in
life that he just must talk it over
in detail. He has no subtleties.
His kindness falls with a, clatter
and there's no mistaking its
genuineness.
When you know the first man
well, you come. to look for a GER

are blue-gray, and the blue
seems to sink into the gray, and
the gray concentrates and is
very chilly. Hard, too, they my

is always interested.
The other mans eyes always
are the same-quite blue and
ever looking straight into your
own. And he laughs a great deal
and says Nov that Is interest

when he finds something for
himself to gain he Is surprised
and pleased.

CITY'S FIRE Loss
THIS YEAR SHOWS
. HEAVY INCREASES
Chief 0'Brien Issues Warning
Before Leaving for Chi
CagO Meeting,

Fire loss in Indianapolis for the
first four months Of 1928. far exceeded
that for the same period Of 1922.
This was the statement Of Fire Chief
O'Bnen, and Superintendent Curran
OF the Salvage Corps, who are in Chi
cago today TO attend the National
Fire Protection Association conven-
ton.
Loss Doubled
From Jan. l TO May l Of this year
there were zoos fires in Indianapolis.
During the same period last year there
were LIZA fires. The loss this year TO
date is S6O5, 993. During the first hour
months Of 1922, the loss was S297,514.
The National Fire Protection Asso-
citation is carrying on fire control and
fire prevention work. Men high in
the fire department here blame the in
crease partly to the fact that two
large factory fires and the Big Four
freight depot fire occurred this year.
Chief Issues Warning
Fire Chief O'Brien, before leaving for
Chicago Monday night, issued a warn
ing to the public not to build open
fires in yards and alleys at this time
Of year. Rubbish should be burned
in metal containers. He also warned
against filing furnaces and stoves to
capacity with trash and paper during
housekeeping days.
While the increase in fire loss dur
ing the first four months this year
was large. 1918 still holds the record
for the heaviest fire loss during the
first four months. This was due to
the Industrial building fire at Tenth
and the Canal. when building and con-
tents valued at s1.4O0 900 were de-
stroyed.
