GO ON WITH THE STORY

The conversation becoming gen.
eral, Andre-Louis soon learned what
there was to learn of this strolling
band. They were on their way to
Guichen, where they hoped to
prosper at the fair that was TO open
on Monday next. And then NJ. Binet
fetched a sigh.
But we shall miss Felicien. NJ.
Binet turned to Andre-Louis. He
was our property man, our man OF
affairs, and occasionally he acted. >
The three ladies had taken their
departure to the chaise. The men
were already climbing into the
house on wheels, when Binet turned
to Andre-Louis.
I'VE part here, sir" said he, dra-
matically, the richer by your
acquaintance" He put forth his
podgy hand.
Slowly Andre-Louis took it in his
own. He had been thinking swiftly
in the last few moments.
81 part from your reluctantly,
Andre-Louis continued The more
reluctantly since l do not perceive
the abs Iute necessity for parting
How quoth Binet, frowning
and slowly Withdrawing the hand
which the other had already re-
tanned rather longer than was
necessary.
Thus" Andre-Louis explained
himself You MAJ set me down as
a sort of knight of rueful counte-
ance in. quest of adventure On
your side you tell me that you are
in need of someone to replace your
Felicien."
NJ. Binet was musing.
What should you say to ten
livres a month";
II should say that it isn't exactly
the riches of Peru"

Andre-Louis went Before they
reached that sheet of paper nailed
upon the door, he knew exactly
what it would say. And in effect it

America Grandest Land on
 Earth, Bowron Sayso onReturn
Tells Community Club of Re- cent Travels in Orient-Re- lates Happy Experiences of World Tour

Tt pleases me most to know that I'm an American, and thank God for the fact" said James Bowron, of this city, who has just recently re- turned with his wife from tour of the world.
 MT. Bowron was the principal speaker at the Community club luncheon yesterday afternoon at the Southern club. He is one of the leading field executives of America, and Birmingham's foremost scholar and beloved citizen.
 My wife and I have travelled 40.- 600 miles. toured 13 different coun- tries, using seven different lam guages. transacted business in eight different classes of currency, trav- eled on 22 different steamer lines and as many different railroads, been transported about in jinrickashas, upon the backs of elephants. and in chair carried by men. Of the PIT days of travel, we only experienced seven or eight days of rain, and the sunshine was over head as well as in our hearts"
 Japan was the first country to which Mir Bowron carried his audi ence on mental journey and told or the great distance between San Francisco and Japan, stating that dur ing IS days travel on the Pacific they did not sight steamer or boat after they had gotton out of sight of land,
 The Japanese are made up of two classes, a class of wealth and a resti- tute class; MT. Bowron explained. The people are shot through with tuberculosis. fact that is not sur prising in view of the fact, that they are scantily clothed, lack neat ing fuel. (only charcoal being nseo) and lack nutritious food, eating mostly rice and fish. Sometime ago the newspapers were full of nredictions about war between America and Japan. Mir. Bowron said, but the people could not live through a war. The Japanese are most ef- ficient and the women do the same kinds of work as the men and re- ceive the same pay, the speaker de- clared.
 Leading hotels have elevators Nr. Rowron said. but no baggage IS all lowed to be lifted in them, the Japa- nese, preferring to carry the trunks regardless of weight upon their shoulder up the many flights or stairs. From this point he carried his audience to China, country which he stated was similar to Ja- pan.
 "The Chinese said Mn -Bowron think well of America. and appre' ciate the fact that the Americans have never been land-grabbers. anc we should feel we'll towards the Chi nese. They are strong people physi- cally. good natured and enjoy repu- tation for honesty. If they were [
