town this week with his brand new
! touring car that is as fleet as the
| vino THIS Kansas City man has al
ways heretofore driven slow old cars
| that cnugged along at a rate that had
no resemblance to speed whatever.
4 But. as I say, he came to Topeka in
ms Tine machine and took some OF his
7 friends for a drive. A Topeka mar
TOOK his car also, dividing the family
/ between the two autos. They started
out West sixth at the top notch Of
hurry The houses flew past so QUICK
" that the Topeka family could
scarcely recognize them Presently
they heard the sound of a uotorcy-
- N-OSC OCAA414d lAe1l, ana a DOp-DOD
COP called upon them TO halt Did
they halt2 Not exactly That Kan
sas CITY car Just added q little moro
speed Presently the motorcycle
caught up and again commanded the
driver to stop. He stopped just TO
show how quickly he could manage
the beautiful bird Did you know
you were speeding?" asked the po-
nceman- Sure, 1 did, my man
How fast were you gofng7f angriIy
| demanded the officer. Just as fast
as ever 1 could smiled the visitor.
iWeH, you're pinched,'' replied the
I motorcycle man Thank you, thank
you. answered the K c speeder.
/ Come along to the police station, p
me. said the man Where is your
( station, and will you ride with US -
ana then he extended to the rest OF
the crowd an invitation to share his
! glory with him
+ Tney made good time TO the station
and the visitor paid his fine with evil
dent cheerfuluess, not to say Joyous
Eess- His friends here are beginning
TO think he may develop a real wild
[ streak. and get to carrying matches
and staying out till o'clock
After the little escapade in police
cod-t. the visitor took his friends to 4
little dinner down at the National As
the dessert was being served this
/ devflish" fast driver sent a little note
