London which, ir the time of James I. had be-
come sanctuary for all manner of law breakers,

lations of its own and a fellow law breaker as
governor of the province of Alsatia as it was
also called. In the novel the ruler of White
friars dealt ont "ale and strong waters" and all
who sought sanctuary in Whitefriars paid him
tribute over the bar.

THE FISCHER PIANOS are especial favorites
with our best teachers and schools, as well as
many of the best musical families in Indianap-

They will be found in many respects supe-
rior to some Pianos for which the highest rank
Is claimed.
We have sold several thousand of these
Pianos in The past few years, and find the de-
mand constantly increasing as their merit
becomes more widely known.
The pronounced preference Of over seventy
thousand purchasers, and the emphatic in
dorsement of the profession and those who
are best posted, justify US in saying that the
Fischer Pianos are without an equal among
moderate priced Pianos. They meet tie wants
