the Presidents family that
there were no grounds for the

dispel her terror, aroused con-
Stunning desire to learn exactly
what had happened. Joan, of
course, could describe only the
siege and their state of sus-
pense until the soldiers cleared
the street of the would-be as
sassins. AS to the motive of
the outrage or the manner in
which it reached its sudden
crisis, she had no more knowl-
edge than the Princess, and a
quite natural question occurred
to the elder woman when Joan
told how Felix Poluski had
startled the King and herself
by his warning cry.

out a shadow of resentment at
the fact that he had discovered

there was none to tell him that

to see him.

FIND SAD
SURPRISE IN NEW
TARIFF LAW
No Provision in Payne Act for
Return Of American Horses
Sent to Canada for Racing
Season.

Ogdensburg, n. y, Aug Gus
toms officers here are awaiting in
strnctions from the treasury depart
ment about Il clause in the new tariff
bin. which involves the future of
horse racing in Canada. The Canad-
ian tracks depend largely on Ameri-
can owned thoroughbreds for their
sport and hitherto entries owned in
the United states have passed free
across the border and back again.
Collector Daniels, however finds no
provision in the new law for the re-
entry free of duty of American horses
entering Canada for exhibition or rae
ing. His Interpretation is hat all re-
turning livestock must pay fun duties.
