CHAPTER v.
The One Way,

Keith said nothing for some mo-
ments, staring up at the light stealing
in through the window grating, his
mind once again active. The eyes Of
the black man had the patient look
of dog as they watched; evidently
he had cast aside all responsibility.
now that this other had come. Final
ly Keith spoke slowly:
I'VE are in much the same position.
Neb, and the fate of one Is liable to
be the fate of BOTH This Is my story"
and briefly as possible, he ran over
the circumstances which had brought
him there, putting the situation clear
enough for the negro's understand
ing, without wasting any time upon
detail. Neb followed his recital with
bullying eyes, and an occasional excla'
nation. At the end he burst forth:
"Yo' say dar was two OBJ dem white
men murdered-one an OF man wild a
gray beard, an de odder bout thirty?
Am dat it, Massa Jack. an dey had TO
span OBJ mules, an runnin' hoss?
dyes"
AN how far out was it,"
About sixty miles"
ooh, de good Lawd!" and the negro
threw up his hands dramatically. Dat
sutt'nly am my outfit! Dat am Massa
Waite an John Sibley."
you mean the same men with
whom you came here from Indepen-
dence?"
Neb nodded, overcome by the dis.
covery.
But what caused them to run such
a risk" Keith insisted. Didn't they
know the Indians were on the war
path"
"Sho'; l heard 'em talkin' bout dat,
but Massa Waite was jest boun' fob
to git movin'. He didn't pear to be
'fraid OBJ no Injuns; reck'ned dsy'd
nebber stop him, dat he knowed sb-
berry chief on de plains. I reck'n dat
he did, too"
But what was he SO anxious to get
away for?"

Farmer Boy May Hunt.

The inalienable right of the Kansas
farmer boy to take down his shotgun
or his hunting rifle and shoot rabbits,
squirrels, ducks and other game is not
to be denied him. He is entitled to
a hunters license, Attorney General
John S. Dawson said the other day.
There is statute concerning boys
carrying firearms, and the idea pre-
vailed that this would prevent Kan
sas boy from being permitted to carry
hunters license and a shotgun or
rifle.

Asks Burbank to Improve Thistle.

If Luther Burbank, the plant "wiz-
ard" will interest himself as success
fully in the Russian thistle that covers
the western Kansas prairies as he has
in the cactus, the thistle may become
a priced plant instead Of pest. Earl
.Akers, executive clerk in the COVER
nors office, who has become interest
ed in the Russian thistle as a stock
food, wrote a letter to Wizard" Bur-
bank, urging him to take up the study
of the thistle and see if it is nto pos
sible to produce "spineless thistle"
Burbank is the man who bred the
"spineless cactus"

$1,000 sequeathed to Building Fund

That the appeal of the Kansas chill

Here then lies Hawaii's opportunity;
to deepen the bond of friendship with
the Japanese by that respectful con-
sideration for them to which they as
a people are worthily entitled; by the
avoidance of that suspicious attitude
which some hold towards them as Or
ientals, an attitude which could not
operate otherwise than to delay the
process of assimilation; and by pro-
claiming to the world that though we
are in the middle of the Pacific and

House leaders, intends to make a call
upon Lieutenant Sahm, inspector in
charge of lighthouses in this district,

Point, Kauai. The appropriation for
this was made by Congress two years
ago, but up to date there is no visible
sign that the light is to be established.
Regarding this, Lieutenant Sahm ex-
plains that the delay is due to the fact
that the original plans were not salts

resolute industry, and public spirited

this is the mission of the liberal

Religion means different things to
different minds. To some the word
signifies certain sacred ceremonies,
rites, vestments, utensils. To others
it means public worship, church-go-

ers 1t implies statements of doctrine
or the acceptance of somebody else's
authoritative opinions To others it
connotes ecclesiastical machinery,
