My lady was as reckless as my lord,

cards from dusk till morning. going
home with ruined fortunes, in her Sc
dan chair, when workmen were going
home from lathe and loom to break
fast. Family diamonds and Jewels and
plate were>staked when the guineas
were exhausted and when these pos
sessions had gone farms and estates
were sacrificed. The amusements, too,
of wealthy people were of coarse and
cruel description. Rat-worrying, cock
fighting and badger-baiting were ia
vorite diversions. Prize fighting was
regarded as essential to keep up the
courage of Englishmen. Even the
clergy joined in these low and brutal
pastimes and neglected their spiritual
duties, or cut short a Sunday afternoon

men entering the ring for the express

uries of life, instead of which those
who can obtain the opportunity to
work at ALI must toll from to 12
hours day to obtain ''bare SUBJ
sistence," while many are not allowed
the privilege of working at all. In
the meantime, they who own the fac
tories and the machinery and tools
of production, wear purple and fare
sumptuously, though they perform
no useful labor at all and as employ
ing capitalists are useless members of

tai is needed for production, but an
ominous fact is that. although capi-
tai is defined as '.stored labor" those
who own the capital of the world
never performed any labor, or pro-
duced any of the stored wealth called
capital
Then again the workers of the ma
ton, those who actually produce the
finished products, are just as surely
the slaves of those who own the tools
and machinery of production as ever
were the negroes the slaves of their
masters in the days of slavery. The
laborers are so many in excess of the
requirements, under the long day of
labor in vogue, that laborers compete
with each other for an opportunity to
toll for bare subsistence aud the
owners of the factories dictate the
number, age and sex of those they
allow to work, the number of hours
they must toll and the wages they
shall receive, so that the masses of
the people are absolutely at the mercy
of the factory owners, save only and
except such resistance as organized
labor is able to make to their selfish
and inhuman behests and commands.
There is nothing in a name. Sup
pose that if ''all the people socially
should own the tools used by the in
dividual," it would mean "state So
cialism." What of it, if it would be
just and right? Why should few in
dividuals and corporations amass
huge accumulations of wealth and a
few individuals recline in the lap of
luxury, while the masses of the peo-
pie, the toilers and workers of the
nation, live from hand to mouth,
throughout life of ceaseless toll and
die at last in poverty to find grave
in the potter's field? Why would it
not be better in every way for the
people socially to own the factories
with their machinery, and, by reduc-
ing the hours of labor and releasing

STRIKE At KANSAS CITY.
Union Men Among the Metropolitan
Street Car Employees Did Not Go
to Work Saturday Morning.
MOST OF the LINES IN OPERATION.
The Vine Street and Prospect Avenue Eisc-

eenth and Tenth Street Lines Badly
Crippled-Employes Who Stayed with
the Company Sworn tn as Ohcers.

Kansas City, May 13.-The union of
street railway employees voted at 2:30
this morning to order strike on all
lines of the Metropolitan street rail-
way. Not enough men responded to
the order to tie up any of the main
lines and by seven o'clock it was evil
dent that unless there is great
change in the attitude of the men the
company can run cars continuously.
The Twelfth street line was the
most seriously affected, but managed
to get four trains into service within
half an hour after the usual start
ing time. The Eighteenth, Fifth and
Tenth street lines are seriously af-
fected, but all are summing cars. The
Vine street and Prospect avenue
branches of the Eighteenth street line
were abandoned during the early
morning. The Ninth street system
was least affected. All the regular
early morning trains were out on
time. The Westport electric hardly
showed the effect of the strike and
Fifteenth and Holmes streets were
running trains.

line were sworn in as deputy mar
shals before they went to work.
Each employe took the oath to pro-
tect the property of the Metropolitan
Street railway and the safety and
lives of passengers. Marshal Chiles
said he intended to protect property
and life if he had to swear in all the
men in Jackson county to do it. Men
on other lines will also be sworn in as
deputy marshals.
The company has a contract with
the United States government to carry
the letter carriers on it's cars 1t is
held by the company's officers, and
Maj. William Warner, United States
district attorney, comedies in the
view, that to prevent the carrying of
these men would amount to delaying
the mails. The offense is serious
one and the company will use the
United States mail laws to prevent the
delaying of its cars.
Only six out of As regular men
| on the Tenth street line took out
their ears this morning. The COM
pany runs IL cars on this line, but
was unable to get only enough men
to man three cars. Some of the men
who do not belong to the union were
willing to GO out with the cars, but
the strikers talked with them and
persuaded them to refuse to work.
Only six conductors and two gripmen
out of total force of 90 men reported
for duty on the Twelfth street cable

CHAPTER XVIII.
PURSUED.

All that morning we sailed almost as
blithely as ever pleasure seekers sailed
summer sea. True it was that measure of
anxiety still hampered my spirits, but as
compared with what we had undergone,
we were at heart as light as the filmy mares
tails floating athwart the blue above. And
even now, while tragedy might be lurking
near, there was an element of the ridiculous
Iii our appearances, too marked not to be
noticed by each of US. The girl, with
I.atural care of herself, was the most pre-
sentable of the three and looked to be but
proper youth; but twas Ames who gave
color to the ships present company. He
had retained his wig-to make his hat fit,
he said-and what with his fresh face, white
hair, and clothes still mud-stained from his
fall into the ditch the night before, he was
a sight to behold. As for myself, appeared
TO be in the last stage of dilapidation. A
four days growth of dark beard, my cloth
ing burned, rain-soaked and ragged, my
linen a shock to the eye, my queue ribbon
less, and my hair streaming about my shoul-
oers, 1 made picture fit to repel the girl.
Two days before, her likes or dislikes would
not have caused me seconds thought, but
now somehow my very size seemed to me OBJ
trusive, and, coupled with my outward
state, shamed me into an avoidance of her
close observance.
But no change could make in her manner
when necessity brought US together. Her
smile was as bright-ay, brighter-than the
dazzling sea about us, her voice as free from
nervous tremulousness, and her manner as
sef-contained as though she was treading
ballroom floor instead of the grimy, slowly
heaving deck of a fugitive schooner. Once
she had laid her hand on mine as stood at
the wheel, and seemed to be about to speak
to me, giving quick upward glance of her
dark eye, though lowering her gaze as quick
"; but as her brother hove aft just then,
