 American boys. The old folks parted from him courageously-old John with a stern grip of calloused, toll worn hands, and Ma Barker with tears steadfastly hidden behind her faded loving eyes. He was their all and they gave him.
 In the anxious months that followed the old folks life held the same hard routine as ever on the farm. Old John drove to town Oftener than usual sometimes even twice week-to see If any letters had come from mys- terious, sinister places in France, and he and mother would pore over the few that did arrive in the proud knowledge that their Henry was a good" boy and was doing his duty They prayed each night that the Lord would keep him safe to come back to them and to keep him from tempta- tion while away from their care.
 Then one day, like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky, came a terrible letter from France, which said: q have found the sweetest little girl in all the world, and I'm bringing her home with me as a Christmas pres ent to you. The regiment is now at Brest for authorization and we'll sure ly be home for the holidays. :. She is aWfully pretty; black hair, big eyes and always wanting to be kissed. Her name Is Angelique. Of course she can't speak anything but French, but, dear mother and dad, I just know that you'll soon learn to love her as much as l dO."
 The old folks were stricken with consternation. Their Henry bringing home a French girl-a foreigner who wouldn't understand their simple, old fashioned ways, and to whom they never could reconcile themselves Such One-accustomed to the wicked frivolities of Paris-never would fit in on the farm, however modest or "nice" she might be. More likely she would despise it, and them and take their boy away to live in some big city-leave them lonely in the old age that was now upon them The old folks bowed their grayed heads beneath the blow, nearly heart broken, although they tried bravely tC conceal their most narrowing dreads from each other.
 Maybe she won't expect to veal silk underwear all the time and vii be willing to help you wipe the dishes evenings, mother" old John clumsil! tried to console his wife as they sa alone in the farmhouse kitchen ont night after chores were done. "Ant maybe, after all she won't want tt smoke cigarettes before people whel she finds that American girls around here don't do that sort of thing"
 Ma Barker shook her head sadly.
 "pd do anything almost to mak, our boy happy, pa," she said, whil the tears gathered in her faded eyes We must do our best not to let hin notice how disappointed we are. Onl I'm afraid she'll never be content her OF the farm with us."
 Ma Barker went about preparation for the big Christmas dinner wit fearful premonitions heavy hearted She was nervous wanted to sit dow and cry, but felt she had to keep u before pa, for Henrys sake, if not

never would be satisfied. Old John Barker never referred to them, but every once in a while his wife would catch herself breeding, mistyeyed, of the sure day when young Henry would marry and leave them alone on the big farm for which there was no other heir.
 Her sole comfort in the thought was that he would undoubtedly marry one of the honest buxom daughters of neighboring farmers, who would be content with country life and not ex- pect to take him too far away from them in their old age.
 Then came the great war, and Henry went overseas with his regi- ment as did most of the other true

.PERsH|NG AT CAPITAL
Army Leader Officially Received by
Vice President Marshall.
Reports Success of Mission Overseas
and Receives Formal Greeting
s of Nation.

Washington, Sept. 13.-On the first
anniversary of the American First
army's drive at st. Mihiel, planned
and directed by General Pershing-
the leader of the A. E. F. returned to
Washington to report the success of
the mission overseas.
On his arrival here, General Perish.
ing received a foretaste of the more
formal greeting he will receive when
he leads the First division up his.
toric Pennsylvania avenue in the ma.
tons victory parade.
AS he stepped from his special
train at the station, the man who led
the American army to victory in
France heard shrill cry of greeting
rise from the hundreds of women and
girls. AS he stood later before Vice
President Marshall in the President s
waiting room to receive the welcome
of the President and the nation, again
it was women and girls armed with
flowers and flags who surrounded
him.
Preceded by cavalry escort, Gem
eral PerShing was taken to his hotel
by Mr.. Marshall in the latter's auto
mobile.
The General was asked what he
wished to do when he got to Laclede.
He hesitated moment, then said:
Il would like to have everybody
forget that l was ever anything but a
Missouri boy. l would like to be as
free as l was then"
The General was reminded that it
was the anniversary of the smashing
Of the St. Mihiel salient. His eyes
lighted up and an odd smile touched
his lips.
1T is a great contrast, today and a
year ago." he said

would end as soon as it did," some
one asked.
