THE ESCAPE
q Chira.ric Tnlo of o Hold NC Knscnioos
Knight

CHAPTER L
Fondfy the Knight of the Silver Shield
loved the fair and noble Lady Gwcndo-
line, and she as fondly returned his love.
She returned it because it was so nice
to have him give it back 70 her, as ho
always did.
My own" he murmured, claspiny
her 10 his bosom.
Here. too" she whispered as she
coyly nestled her 1axen head upon the
stove lid cuirass he wore over his manly
chest, partly for protection and partly
for revenue only.
CHAPTER II.
But tho old duke, the Lady Gwendo-
lines father. was opposed to the match.
He Ind asked the knight to take off
his silver shield and substitute gold
one, and the knight had refused with
scorn and contumely.
The knight still owed for the silver
shield. and he did not care to mortgage
his immortal soul for change.
Do as command, {" sternly ordered
tho old duke. "or never be son-in law
Of mine"
We'll. don't think" Missed the
Knight between his set of teeth, and the
strike was on.
CHAPTER III.
The Knight Of the Silver Shield had
told the Lady Gwendoline all
He could not tell her more or he
would have done SO gladly, 50 much he
loved her.
II will flee, she bravely said
1.-TWO fees" he replied heartily, and
they packed small kit of wedding
things
In half an hour they were flying from
the gray and grim old castle.
CHAPTER w
And fast before the old duke then
Three hours they'd fed together.
And If he'd caught thom the glen
he would have mopped the heather
up with the knight.
The Old duke hard behind them hiod
Should he their steps discover
Then whit could cheer the bonny bride
When he Ind slugged her lovcrf
but still. as wildly blew the wind
And as the night grew dreareY,
Tho duke was coming up behind,
His pulling sounded ncareY.
CHAPTER
A great thought came to the Knight
Of the Silver Shield
Sweet one" he said softly, Stacking
his speed, wait but little l will
como again -
Waiting for you." she whispered,
were such sweet sorrow that would
wait until tomorrow.
1t was then II 55 p. w.. and the
knight, kissing the fair lady's hand,
hurried back over the way which they
had come.
"Savedl I" he exclaimed, returning to
her side and once more moving swiftly
forward
But papa?" she asked, with anxious
eagerness.
Knocked out in tho first round, ;"
laughed the Knight Of the Silver Shield
in loud, triumphant tones II filled the
road with tacks, and the old mans tire
is puncturod so that he has to lay up for
repairs
My hero!" murmured the fair Lady
Gwendoline, gazing fondly on him as
they flew along the glistening turnpike
CHAPTER VII
Two bikes with but single thought,
Two lovers safely carried
Into the haven which they sought
And 80 they married.

Republican ticket two years hence by 3
majority that would be decisive.
The above is an editorial paragraph
from the morning paper and is endorsed
by a large majority of the people of
Kansas What will be their surprise,
however, when a little further down in
the same column of the same issue OF the
same paper appears the following:
The committee (house temperance
committee) has also had in contempla-
ton since the introdu ction of this bill an
amendment to the present law that for
the first otfense a fine or imprisonment
shall be imposed, for the second ofense
fine and imprisonment shall be I'M
posed, and for each subsequent oHense
fine shall be increased to 500 in addi-
ton to i'm IMPRISONMENT in Jail the COM
mittee thinks this amendment will add
to the enforcement of the law, aud the
suggestion has been sanctioned by the
leading temperance people of the city,
an evening paper to the contrary not
withstanding. 1t is to the interest OF
prohibition to have as many convictions
as possible and it looks as though this
amendment would improve the law.
1t will be difficult for Kansas people to
realize that this is the position of the
old champion of prohibition. By the
way, which one of these positions does
it propose to stand by?
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1895-02-15
SOME KINDLY ADTTCE.

The legislature has acted wisely in
needing the voice Of the people as ex-
pressed through the STATE JOURNAL in
relation to a constitutional convention.
II the Kansas law makers will pay atten-
ton to this paper they can rest assured
that it will not lead them astray.
Now, there is one other matter which
should be mentioned in this connection,
and that is anti-pass legislation. 1t may
be that the legislature is not aware OF
the fact, but there is real earnest desire
throughout the state that some law be
enacted which will have a tendency to
suppress, or at least lessen the pass evil
If any member doubts this he has but to
consult his constituents to ascertain the
truth of this assertion. They don't want
any buncombe bill or one impossible of
enforcement, but just plain, common
sense measure, som ething like the Gar
faith, so to speak. If it works advant-
ageously, as it undoubtedly would, addi-
tional legislation could be enacted later
on, as the necessities of the case seemed
to require.
While engaged in giving this bit of
friendly advice, there is still another
matter that might as we'll be men
toned here, and that is the ques-
ton of fees and salaries. On this
subject there cannot be two opinions.
The of1ceholders, constituting a small
minority of the population, want salaries
maintained or increased, while the great
body of the people want them reduced
and would like to see fees reduced also
or abolished altogether. The farmer
gets much less for his products than
formerly, the day laborer finds his wages
greatly reduced, the merchant is not
able to realize as good profits as he once
did, and yet official salaries remain the
same. This condition of things works a
double hardship and injustice because
the official salaries are not only dispro
| portionate to prices of other things but
| they are much harder to pay People
do not mind SO much to pay high prices
when they are prosperous and are max
ing money to pay them with.
The people of Kansas are in earnest
about these matters and the entire legis-
lature will probably be required to go or
record on them as some of the members
have already done The member who Sc
name is found recorded on the wrong
side of these questions, will find it very
1 difficult to explain the fact to his con
| stituents

while in the former statement he swore
that the Union Terminal people paid
$4,000 for the decision. It is difficult to
see what bearing the last affidavit has on
the point at issue other than this. The
question still is: Did the railroad COM

from e. l. Martin for that decision? The

IT has been computed that the people
of Topeka pay to the water company,
interest on eleven dollars of watered
stock for every dollar invested in the
plant. At the ordinary rate of profit on
investments of that kind this is eouiva-
lent to paying for the plant every year.
Like all forms of what are called indirect
taxes, this falls on the rich and the poor
alike. The laboring mans family must
use as much water as the millionaire's.
The rich have an advantage in one re-
spect, however. They can provide water
for home use in other ways IL they choose
to do so. The poor man is completely at
the mercy of the company. Any saving
that the rich man may make in this way,
however, Ii over-shadowed by what is
collected from him in taxes to pay for

THERE are many ways in which the
legislature can better afford to econo-
mize than in the appropriation for the
state university. Kansas feels pride in
her university, and it is rapidly rising to
the plane of the first institutions of
learning in the country. The university
asks for 100000, and ought to get it.
This amount would be much better spent
than the same amount which was appro-
priated for seed grain for western set
tiers. That appropriation was practical
ly thrown away. It will not do those
people thousand dollars worth of good.
Enough money might easily be saved
by passing fees and salary bill to make
this appropriation for the university and
not miss it. The amount might almost
have been saved by hiring no more help
than was necessary about the state house
this winter. While wasting money on so
many useless things, don't be niggardly
with the university. Schools never cost
too much, If they are good ones.
