As I rushed across the room, I saw Phoebe out of the tail of my eye. She was standing like a little statuette, still and Impassive—but the Jado neck lace shook in her hand and swayed In out against her slim body. "Hurry, Anne —hurry!" she cried suddenly in a throaty whisper. "He can't come in here. Hurry. And close the door so 1 can dress." As I turned in the doorway she was still standing like a stiff, carved figure, but the blur of the green J necklace was gone. Afterward 1 realized that it lay huddled on the floor at her feet. Hut then 1 ficw to Neal. And in another moment 1 Vvas in his arms. How that precious young brother of mine hugged me. How strong and sturdy his arms were. It was good on a magic carpet in answer to my wish. "Well, Kubbsie," he cried at last, holding me off at arms' length and studying me with quiet, steady eyes from which the old boyish mischief and bravado seemed wiped out. "Neal—you're gorgeous!" I cried. "And you got your commission. And kept it a secret. Oh, Lieutenant ily land—you're splendid!" "Yeah, I got my commission. Babbsie. Much good it does me. I'm one of those after-the-armistice near-soldiers." "You're whole!" I said fervently "And here! And I'm happy, happy to have you—untouched." "Untouched!" echoed Neal with a world of scorn in his voice. "Whole i —. Well, the boys who went over and shoved 'em back across the Rhine I are a darn sight more 'whole' than i j am with what's eating me. i was out of luck all right, Habhs, when I ! didn't kick into the business in time."

STECKLEY'S j TUESDAY EVENING, down on the couch, stuck a cigarette between his lips and lighted it—all before I sank down facing hint on the couch. "There," I said. "Now Lieutenant Hyland, 1 salute you." Then 1 kissed him on the forehead, and all the more tenderly because he didn't know who was in the next room—nor yet just how "out of luck" he was. "It's a great salute, Babbs, and you scent like performing it about as well as the average shave-tail lieutenant," said Neal, rubbing his forehead quite like his old self. Now cut out the mush, Babbs, and tell me the news. How's every little thing? llow's Jim and every body?" "Everyone's all right," I jerked out, wondering how 1 was going to break it to Neal that Phoebe was in the other room. "But it's you who have all the news to tell. Hov's Father Andrew? When did you see him? Are you still in the army?. When did you" "Whoa! Whoa! Don't giddy tip so fast. I'll take you. in order. I left Father Andrew at nine yesterday morning feeling line and loving his Babbsie-girl 'bout as well as ever and calculating he'd have to come on and call on Iter pretty soon. Now what next?" "You saw Father Andrew only yesterday!" i repeated, wishing my magic carpet had spirited him here also since lie might know what to do about this boy of ours and the wilful little girl in the next room. 1 didn't know one bit what to do. Virginia and her opinion of "young lrve" no longer influenced me "at all •My old doubts of Neal and fear of the hurt he might eause Phoebe faded before the steady look in his eyes. Me was Father Andrew's boy, arid i believed in Neal completely now. The unstable element in the situation was Phoebe. "Are you still in the army?." T asked ] as if that were what mattered. "Nope got niy discharge a week age." replied Neal. "But you're still in uniform and you haven't any red stripe." "Officers don't wear red stripes. [And I haven't the money to buy new I clothes just now. Dad wanted to stake ine, but 1 wouldn't iet him," explained Neal. Then there flashed through mv mind a picture of Phoebe gloating over lieu jade necklace and crying ;lhat Shelly'd send her a whole gar den of American Beauties now. What ■ lianec had Neal with this new, wiildlv, mercenary, extravagant Phoebe—a Harrison of the Hnrri "So you're hark looking for a job?" I oca stioned, half to myself. "Yep. T wrote for my old one and it was filled. They said they'd told me net to go. Well. 1 guess' there 's still need for an export accountant or two in tlie Big Village oh. what Ra hhs?" "And there's still room for my Neal in his sister's home. And about a hundred dollars saved up and owing to him the money he thought he Paid his sister and only loaned her Now, don't interrupt, Neal— t want to ask n very personal question. "Tell me, dear, when Father An drew brought hack mother's ring did yon—lust take it—and never write to Phoebe at all?." Neal stared at me for a moment T wondered if he was furious and thought me prying. Then suddenly as if they were dragged nwav from my face, his eyes lifted, widened, fas tened themselves on the reaches of the room lying hack of me. To He t'ontinneil.

I however, no hint as to the writers' ] tastes and inclinations, and the lipid ;is wide. "Of making many books ; there is no end," and innumerable avenues lead out from even a small | bookshelf. One correspondent may I care most for poetry, another for i books of travel, another for essays, land so on. But there is one founda j tion course for reading on which no I one can go wrong. This is Amcri j can history. It is not so many years back that | a so-called "intellectual" would have | met the suggestion of American his- Itory with a shrug of the shoulders, j It had no claims of long descent; j there was no picturesque back i ground such as made interesting the record of renaissance, feudal and : ancient times. But we have changed ! all that. We are told now that the four brief centuries of our story are the most momentous in the history of the world, the first century of the United States as a Nation the most signiticant to the human race in the annals of mankind. In the words of a noted foreign historian, ours is a history of the growth of civilization under condi tions new to humanity, of the great est effort for freedom and the greatest experiment in democracy ever made by man; if it taught nothing—and it can teach the stu dent almost everything—it would still charm with the fascination of romance. The reader will find in it the an swer to many questions agitating his HARRISBURG s&§&s£ TELEGRAPH countrymen to-day, and he will in sensibly be led on into many fascin ating by-paths of research and in struction For American history, we are, as a rule, offered merely the history of the United States down from the Revolutionary War, with, perhaps, a short preliminary account ot the discovery of America and the period of colonization. But back of the Revolution, in the era between 1492 and 1776, lies an enchanting and inspiring story. Here one may trace in the im pulses which brought the peoples of that time to an untamed continent and in the reaction which the events of the old world had upon the new, those springs of thought and action wnicli eventually created the Nation and are still moulding and shaping our destinies to-day, the sturdy growth of that individualism which thrived from learning to lean on one's self and to wrest from the wil derness a living and a home. There is no surer way to breathe in the romance of America or to become familiar with the heroic Ag in us of the era of adventure and ex ploration—those men who found our lakes and" rivers and left their names upon them—than by reading the histories of Francis Parkman. They arc so luminously clear, so simply, yet so fascinatingly written, that one hates to lay a volume down. For that matter, the. life" of Park man itself is an inspiration, when one recalls what lie accomplished under dire difficulties. As a boy he decided to write the history of the French and Indian wms for he was filled with the traditions of old days in Maine and Massachusetts and the region along the St. Law retire river. Later, accompanied only by a young cousin, he set out to follow the Oregon Trail and cross the con tinent, living most of the time dur ing this adventure among the most savage and warlike tiibes of Indians; and when he returned from this journey he was a physical wreck suffering intensely throughout the rest of his life with his eyes, unable to write or to listen to reading for more than half an hour at a time. Yet he wrote a series of histories so full of charm and romance that they put fiction in the shade; while so perfectly accurate is his chronicle of events that other historians have confidently drawn upon it.

He said of his work: "Never has the historian grappled with another such epic theme, save when Herodotus told the story of Greece and Persia, and Gibbon's pages resounded with the solemn tread of marshalled hosts through a thousand years of change. The pages of these histories glow with a living (ire, for our historians not only took a new field, but a new method, revoluloniztng the whole plan of history writing. From the impetus given by Fiske and Parkman sprang that tremendous output of historical novels which occurred toward the end of the last century, although I,ongfellow, Whittier and Lowell had previously immortalized much of our legend and story in verse. • We have also many admirable his torians of a single, striking period, notably Theodore Roosevelt's "The Winning of the West," in which one catches the initial stirring of that marvellous march of development across the American continent —a dogged struggle of men with forests, rivers, mountains, deserts on their way to the We'st, and still toward the West. They plodded on like Kip ling's explorer, always hearing that one everlasting whisper: "Something hidden. Go and find it! Something lost behind the ranges; Lost, and waiting for you. Go!" And they went, until they reached the land of gold and the western ocean, and then they turned back again to knit the West to the East and make us one Nation —to give forever an answer to the question: "Why am I an American?"
