There might have been exceptional casea here and there of dealers In rare anima;l« who could have gotten the sur- name from the fact that they sold cranes. But that would not account tor the very many famlllea which to- day bear the name. It might al^o, and undoubtedly was, in some Instances, conferred upon a man as a nickname, and from this develop into a family name. But the explanation, in the vast mar Jority of cases, liee in a custom quite 'wides^ead In the middle &ee&, and now all but forgotten, except where the owner of a little inn, restaurant or curio shop desires to lend an air of qualntneee and antiquity to his busi- n«6«. The cusitom waa that of pla.clng outside his door a sign bearing the pic- ture of some animal or article. Let- tered signs were little used because the bulk of the population could not read. But the pictures wSiS a dis> tingulshing mark to the uneducated as well as th« educated eye. It was not uncommon, on busy streets, to see a yeritable menagerie on the signs of the shops and inns of a single square. It was much eaater to refer to a man simply as "GeotCrey Crane" than as "Geoffrey at the sign of the Crane." Hence the modern form of. the name, though at one i)erlod It was preceded by "de la" (of the). BRYAN. VarlatlonB â€" Bryant, Briant, Breon, Brien, Brian. Racial Origin â€" Norman-French. Source â€" A given name. Unfortunately for those who would like to determine accurately the na- tionality of their ancestors by means of their famfily names, a good bit of confiulon exists between the sui^ names Bryan and O'Brien. Similarity of sound and spelling has led to tntercjiange of these names in a host ot oas«B. There are many Bryana who trace their names back to one of the Irish Brians. Likewise there are Briass whose names should logicaJiy be spelled Bryan or Bryant For while Brian Is Irish, and Inevit- ably so when the prefix "O" is used, Bryan and Bryant are Norman-French and there are hundeds of families ot this name in North America and Eng- land whose anceaton never sew Ire- land. Bryan was a Christian name among th-e Norman invaders of England, and it is from this source that the English Bryans and Bryants developed, as well as the modern Frenchc Breon. " It was orlginaMy, of course, "da Bryan" and "de Brian," beinc vjurtously spelled. Aa a Chrtotlan name, however. It was Celtic rather than Teutonic, though names of the latter olassdilcar tlon predominated among the Nor- mans. The Normans had picked it up In their previous occupation of Brit- tany early in the Christian era. The Bretons are Celtic, belonging to the Cymric branch of that race, together with the Welsh, as distinguished from the Irish and the Soots, who form the Gaelic branch. The meaning oX the name was the same as that of the Irish Brian, however, being derived from the Celtic word for "stpength."

The proprietor of the village inn. wltli a lighted lantern on his arm. entered whet had once been the barroom but was now converted into a men's lounging room. In cold weather this room was heated by an old-fashioned castiron bo.x stove. Chancing to look out of the windows, the proprietor recognized a party of woodsmen returning from their work in the woods to tlie Inn. where tiey lodged. A look of contrition over- spread the proprietor's face. "TIieTe comes those wood-choppers," he re- proached himself, "probably half froze, 'nd I ain't got any fire started yet," With his Angers the proprietor combed his forelock tboughtfuUy. Suddenly his face brightened. Step- ping quickly to the stove, he raised one of the Uds and se^ the lighted lantern within. Then he replaced the lid and wolked around to the front of the stove. As he drew out the slide to the draft, the opposite wall im- mediately became Illuminated with a bright, cheery glow. Seating himeelf comfortably the proprietor awaited his guests, wbo soon entered, boister- ously oomplaining of the sudden •change in the temperature. "At-a-boy!" cried the leader en- thusiastically when he saw the cheer- ful glow. "The boss's got a peach of a Are." The men gathered about the atove, rubbing their chilled fingers vigorous- ly, their fac«e aglow with coateutment at the comfort of the room. At last they seemed to be warifc^j through. They left the stove for the chain, and benches that were scattered about the room and began to assemble tbeir soioking equipment. "You fellows aill warmed up good?" affably Injulred the proprietor, rising from his ch«»Jr. "Because© it you be," he continued, "1 want t' borrow the lantern to go out and get some kdnd- lingsss t' start a fire with, and to do th' choree."
