Mr. Brown OF New York.
In another moment slight, why
man, well along in the thirties, came
breezily into the room. The first glance
told that he was an American. His
slightly slouchy but nevertheless ag-
gressive manner in which he held him-
self, differentiated him Enthusiastically
from the other men I'm Etheps sitting
room.
Guy rose to greet him. He had in
vited the American to join the party,
for Guy was almost, like one of Sir
Georges family.
"Hello, Charliey' he exclaimed with
undoubted enthusiasm.
And straightway he introduced the
newcomer to Ethel Willoughby, to
whom, as hostess, Guy infallibly turned
first.
You remember my mother?" Guy
asked him then.
''You bet l dor Mr.. Brown said
heartily as he shook hands with that
smiling lady. Didn't we have bully
time in Chinatown
"Rather!' Mrs. Falconer replied;
and they both laughed over their remi-
niscence.
To Henry Streetman the American
bowed pleasantly enough. And toward
Sir George he displayed the utmost at
liability.
"Glad to know you, Sir George!' he
said as he gripped his hand. 81 want
to warn YOU, though, in case the others
haven't, that I'm a newspaper man

"You do brighten me-" Sir George
replied with a twinkle in his eye. "I've

Charley Brown grinned at him.

assured the reporter.
"Spoofng? Spoofng?" Mr.. Brown
repeated in q somewhat bewildered
fashion. He had met many words,
during his short stay in London, that
he had never before encountered in
the English language.
But his quick mind was not long at

But, Sir George, don't blame

CITY is OLD, YET MODERN
Rouen Has Double Charm for the VIsl.
tor Who Has Proper Eye for
Civic Beauty.

Rouen, the old capital of Normandy,
whence William the ConQueror planned
his wars against England, is a city
which persists in keeping up to date
through the centuries. 1t is busting
modern town today in spite of it's long
and strenuous past. You can buy the
Oldest Of antiques and the most modern
of manufactures in Rouen both strict
~ local products.
Like many American cities, ROuen
makes it's poorest impression from the
railway stations. No matter which
train you pass through on, if you were
to take what you see through the car
riage window as a fair sample Of the
old city, you would never alight and in
vestigate. 1t is necessary to have faith
In Rouen, to believe in more beautiful
things around the corner, and, as is
often the case, he who has faith is re-
warded.
There are few places where the con-
trast between the medieval and the
modern stands out more clearly than In
this old-new city Of France. The broad
and handsome boulevards, the brightly
lighted shops, the busting cafes are
very much of the twentieth century;
and the grim old stone houses, the time
blackened carven walls seem to look
down on the pageant Of modern life
flowing past them with dignifed pur-
itanical disapproval. Leading off from
some broad new boulevard you often
find one of the old-time narrow streets
Just wide enough for foot traffic, that
was laid out in the days when Rouen
was walled city and the needs Of the
pedestrian, or at most the horseman,
were the only ones to be considered.
The traditional idol of Rouen is Joan
OF Arc. They have named street and
a square for her, the best of her statues
are found here, and there is museum
given over to relics of her strange ca
reer. Here is the tower where the un-
fortunate maiden was tried and con-
demned. Through these same streets
she rode in her bright armor. and here
she died at the stake.

SYNOPSIS

Georgy wagstaff, daughter of Sir

her. She begs him to announce their So

More Horses Than Ever.

For all the motor vehicles which are
multiplying like rabbits, horses are In
creasing in number. In New York
State a census was taken by school
children last year under the auspices
of the State education and agricultural
departments This was the first CEN
sus of it's kind ever attempted.
The children's figures give the num-
Der of horses last year at 1.017, 728,
which is an increase of 10000 over
the Federal census of 1910. The num-
Der of cows remains unchanged, but
sheep fell off 100000. A gain Of 2OO.-
600 is shown in swine.

marked. He was always ready to

might embark upon.

Guy added cheerfully.
Sir George looked at him somewhat
guspiciously.
''Who wrote it? Bernard Shaw ~
he inquired. And there was much re-
proof in his tone. To him, Shaw was
like red rag to bull.

Georgy said carelessly. 81 never can

likely happen" Henry Streetman in

Mrs. Fa1coner turned to him In as

anyone in his senses could have taken

''You don't mean you really believe

George agrees with NEEDN'T you,

tured. He was determined that If he
did not succeed in forcing Sir Georges
hand he would at least give him a
run for his money.
Sir George looked bored.
"Really, sir, I should prefer notsto
discuss that matter" he said once
more.
Georgy laughed gayly.

business she observed. And there
was a deal Of truth in her statement,

was no fool. She had not lived with

for nothing. She knew unerringly
how to int rpret his every manner.

Behind that assassination there is

pIomacy," Sir George explained. ''In

Then, father, don't tell it!'' his sar-
Caste daughter bantered Her plea,
however, was entirely superhuous. Sir
George had not the slightest intention
OF committing such an indiscretfon.
But Guy Falconer was ready enough
to air his opinions.
"Oh, it's not Just Austria and Ser

is that Germany is patting Austria on

"And, speaking of tea, won't you

''You bet / will!' he responded in
his Yankee vernacular. And he stepped
quickly to the table behind which she
sat. ''It's a great habit, tea," he di-
lated, as he took the cup from her.

Ihis Farmer Takes a Broad View
Of hatters Affecting The Buy
At Home" Policy.

10 the Editor of The Republican:
Recently we have heard a good deal
about sending money out of the county
to buy articles that are no better or
cheaper than articles sold right at our
door. We all realize that it is a mis-
take to do this, and it would be the part
OF wisdom to first look around and see
what you can do at home, before heark-
ening to the call of the flashing ad-
vertisements of the mail order houses.
For as truth, in many instances, they
prove to be snare and delusion. How
ever. there is another phase of this
question that think has been overlook
ed, and, that is the money that leaves
our county every year for registered
animals. Thousands of dollars have
been EXPENDED and sent out of the coun-
ty and State by our people for register
