THEGAZETTE'S
LITTLE FOLKS
In The Hands Of the .EnemT

;. Una and the Magician (who was
disguised as the Red Cross Knight
had not gone far when they saw
some one riding swiftly towards them
The newcomer was on fleet horse
and was fully armed; his look was
stern, cruel, and reyengeful. On his
shield in bold letters was traced the
name "Sans 10y" which mean:
Lawless. He was one Of the brothers
of Sans Foy,' or Faithless, whom
the real Red Cross Knight had slain
and he had made up his mind to
avenge his brothers death
When he saw the red cross craven
on the shield which Hypocrisy car
ried, he thought that he had found
the foe of whom he was in search
and dwelling his spear, he prepared
for battle. Hypocrisy, who was mean
coward, and had never fought in his
life, was nearly fainting with fear;
out the Lady Una spoke such cheer
ing words that he began to feel more
hopeful. Lawless, however, rushed at
him with such fury that be drove hia
lance right through the others shield
and bore him to the ground. Leapinp
from his horse. he ran towards him
meaning to kill him, and exclaimed
"Lo, this is the worthy reward of hrm
that slew Faithless!"
Una begged the cruel knight to
have pity on his fallen fee, but he
words were Of no avail. Tearing of
his helmet, Lawless would have sla:!
him az once, but he stopped
as.onishment when, instead Of the
Red Cross Knight, he saw the face 0 ,
Arehimago. He knew well that craft.
Hypocrisy was skilled N all forms o
deceit, but that he took care to shur
lighting and brave deeds. Now, in
deed, had Hypocrisy's guile met with
a just punishment.
"rW,hy, luckless Archimago, what Is
this?" cried Lawless. What ey:
chance brought you here? Is it your
fault. OF my mistake, that | have
wounded my friend instead oil N,
foe?"
But the old Magician answered
moth :ng; be Jay still as If he We're dy
ing. So Law!ess spent no more TIM
over him, but went over to where I'm
waited, lost IN amazement and sorely
perplexed.
Her companion, whom she ha'
imagined was ner own true knight
turned out to be nothing but an I'M
poster, and she herself had fallen IN
to the hands Of a cruel enemy.
When the brave lion saw Lawles
20 UP to IRA and Try to drag he*
rorehly from her pafrey. full o.
k;nelv rage he rushed to protect her
He few at Lawless and almost tor"
his shield to pieces with his starr
claws. But. alas! he could not over
come the warrior. for. Lawless was
one CT the strongest men that ever
welded spear, and was vel sk'fle"
in feats of arms. With his sharr
swerd be struck the Hon, apdthe'noblc
creature fell dead at his feet
Poor Una. what was to become Of
her now? Her faithful guardian wa.
gone. and she found herself the cap
tive of cruel foe. Lawless paid nc
heed to her tears and entreatiea. Plae-
inc her on his own horse. he rode off
with her; while her:snow-white aonk-.

scale we charged the retail store
trade heretofore. Figure the

tackled on to the merchandise they

very considerable sum to say the
least
We also make your suit or coat

Joke in London

LONDON, Dec. 10.-The zeal of
prohibitionists has made a farce ~
London's new liquor laws and the
chronic boozer is having a glorious
Tune, while even moderate drinker.
nave reduced the prewar pub
crawl successive visits to numer-
Gus saIoons) to a scientific basis.
Under the new licensing law,
which came into force September I,
Londons drinking hours were fixed
at nine for week days and five on
sundays. This was the result of a
compromise between the "wets'
and "drys" in parliament the
FORMER insisting on some relaxa-
ton OF wartime restrictions.
The law provides that the earli-
est saloon opening hour be 10 a. m.
and the latest closing time IL p. m.
restaurants and hotels providing
meals are granted an extra half
hour for the consumption Of drinks
ordered with meals. up to after
noon closing time. and an extra
hour at night. All saloons must
close for some two-hour period af-
ter IL noon daily.
London, however, is divided into
thirtynine separate administrative
boroughs. and as the actual hours
of opening were left to the discre-
ton of local justices, the results
were chaotic. Prohibitionists fought
the IL p. m. closing hour in every
district, and gained their point in
some.
The scientific pub crawler" has
brought things down to fine point
and can reckon on nearly fifteen
drinking hours a day, while hotel
residents can put in twenty-four
hours daily.
The "drys" say that as a result
of this chaotic state of affairs all
saloon closing hours must be stand
ardized to 10 p. m, but the "wets"
will not agree to this and point out
that the obvious intent of parIia
ment was to fix II p. m. as the lat
est closing hour. the extra hours
grace for supper parties being es-
pecially designed for the conven-
fence .of theater-goers and others.
