CHAPTER v.
Mr.. Brown Of New York.

In another moment slight, wtry
man. well along In the thirtles, came
breezily into the room. The first glance
told that he was an American. HIS
nervous alertness, his assurance. the
slightly slouchy but nevertheless az
gressive manner in which he held him
self, differentiated him unmistakably
from the other men In 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, Charliew 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 motherT" Guy
asked him then.
"You bet l dor Mr.. Brown said
heartily as he shook hands with that
smiling lady. Didn't we have a 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 Georgeg he
said as he gripped his hand. 4 want
to warn you, though. in case the others
haven't, that I'm newspaper man
journalist, think you say over
here"
"You do frighten me-" Sir George
replied with twinkle In his eye. i've
rather a terror of your profession, es-
pecially when they come from the
States"
Charley Brown grinned at him.
"Don't worry, Sir George" Guy In
terposed. "Charlie doesn't mean all he
says"
"Father's only spoofing you," Georgy
assured the reporter.
"spoofing? Spoot1ng?" Mr.. Brown
repeated in a 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
fault. "Oh, sure! Kidding-that's 1T!
But, Sir George, I don't blame

Wagstaff said, smiling. But I'll Try

.'Then that's all right" the Ameri'
can declared.
"And. speaking of tea, won't you
have some?" Ethel asked him.

his Yankee vernacular. And he stepped

tIred. He was determined that If he
did not succeed in forcing Sir Georges

run for his money.
Sir George looked bored.
"RealIy. sir, | should prefer not to
discuss that matter" he said once
more.
Georgy laughed gayly.

was a deal of truth In her statement,

was no fool. She had not lived with

NEW YORK. June 24.-Announcement
was made today by the Aero Club of
America that 1t had decided to mobi-

the list sent to the government by the
aero club there are forty National Guard
oficers In different states ready to take
examinations for military aviators
