Robert Van Horne was the owner
and editor of the New York Record.
He was leading light in a much
criticised school of journalism. He
was the eXemplar Of the theory that
the modern newspaper should do
things"-to quote the idiomatic cx-
preston of Mr.. William Chalmers.

Robert Van Horne was the mill
lonaire son Of departed million

school years, and at the age of %
he found himself the sole owner of the
Immense Van Horne estate. roughly
estimated as having a value of 500
100000. His cattle roamed on n thou-
sand hills in New Mexico and Texas.
The drills of his mining machinery
were boring INTO the rocks in scores
OF productive mines in Colorado. the
Dakotas and Montana. With the tro-
ditional "Nan Horne luck" his agents
had been among the first to strike il
rich in the snow-swept valleys of the
Klondike. At an opportune moment
he had invested "A small fortune in
Tennessee iron lands, and before this
story opens had smiled at the CON
fusion of those friends who chided
him as the purchaser of a gold
brick"
Soon after the death Of his father.
Van Horne bought the New York
Record; a paper which had survived
a checkered career in the arena OF
metropolitan journalism. From the
first issue under the Van Horne man.

ton which could not be ignored.

The morning after the supper Hes

nm early hour. He looked over his
mail, and then wrote II note to Pal

and railroad magnate, requesting an
early interview on a matter of some
Importance. This ofI his mind, Hes
tor made the rounds of the office.
He chatted awhile with Mr.. Chalmers
and then drifted into the art depart
ment. He was in effervescent spirits,
and seemed highly satisfied with ali

his room and proceeded TO work off
the exuberance of his animal spirits
by performing n clog step to live

with more regard for speed and cX-

"There was an old geezer. and he had
