neck o the woods and the people OF his
political party in that district are about
TO give voice 10 their appreciation by
nominating him for congress when he
learns that he has become Lord Breu-
ster and Is heir to a great estate In Eng
land. Breuster knows little OF the real
England, but he has met several re

TO get a taste OF ranch life in the
States" and he has formed no very com

Breuster finds that with the estate he

next his son breaks to his father the
