Join Now

There are in York county IS in other
counties scores of cX-sOldiers entitled
to membership in the American Legion
who are not members. If it is a ques-
ton Of not joining because of not hav-
ing the necessary So at hand that can
easily be arranged by seeing the post
commander or the adjutant. It's
worth a lot to any young man to be
connected with this greatest of all
soldier organizations. Think about it
and cCme on in.
New State Commander.
Morris c. Lumpkin, the Hcw state
commander is the kind Of man VINO
can do a lot to boost the American Le-
gion in South Carolina and who will
do Just that. Lumpkin who is law
yer of Columbia, is ore OF the best
krewn young men Of Columbia. In
speech 20 post commanders and adju-
tants at the third annual convention in
Newberry Commander Lumpkin pledg-
ed himself to visit any post at any
time his services were called for and
TO promote the American Legion in
South Carolina in any way possible
Under the Same Flag.
Now that the third annual state
convention is over let us back the
American Legion with a united mcm-
bership. We arc all working for the
good of the organization and whether
we were born in South Carolina or
not. remember We were in the same
army, navy or marine corps and stood
under the same flag, and today we
stand for the same principles. Those
principles are broader than the con-
fines Of this state, and the policy
of the American Legion SHOULD be as
broad. Every right thinking man
who saw service during the World
War should be welcomed into the le-
gion, and when he can be Of service
use him.

CHAPTER II.
The COMING Of a MESSENGER.

The Coming of a Messenger.
When Dyck entered the library at
Playmore, the first words he heard
We're these:
Howe has licked the French at
Brest. He's smashed the French fleet
and dealt a sharp blow to the revolu-
ton. Hurrah /"
The words were used by Miles Cal
houn, Dyck's father, as a greeting TO
him on his return from the days
sport.
Now, # there was a man In Ireland
who had a narrow view and kept his
toes pointed to the front, it was Miles
Calhoun. His people had lived in Con
nemara for hundreds Of years. and he
himself had only one passion In life,
which was the Protestant passion of
prejudice He had ever been a fol-
lower of Burke-a passionate follow
er. one who Relieved the French Revo-
luton was n crime against humanity,
a danger to the future Of civilization,
a miserable orgy of unworthy millions.
He had resisted more vigorously
than most men the progress Of revolu-
tionary sentiments in Ireland He was
aware that his son had far less rigid
opinions than himself; that he wen
defended Wolfe Tone ana Thomas En-
met against abuse and damnation.
That was why he had delight in slap
ping his son IN the face, whenever
possible, with the hot pennant Of vic
tory for British power.
He was a man Of iTascible tempera-
ment and stern views, given 10 fits of
evaporation. He was small Of stature,
with a round face, eyes that sudden
ly went red with feeling, and with
nona of the handsomeness OF his son,
who resembled his mothers side of
the family.
The mother herself had been a beau
tiful and remarkable woman. Dyck
was, in a sense, a reproduction Of her

chance, for It's hard paying the du-
ties these days. What with France in

and the COW and children and father

up again. "Ah, well, my little love,
sing on! You're a blessing among a
lot of curses; but never mind. it's a
fine world. and Ireland's the best part
of it. Heaven knows it-and on this
Hill, how beautiful 1t Is /"
He was now ON the top Of hill
where he could look out toward the
bog and in toward the mellow. wav-
Ing hills. He could drink in the yell
lowish green, with here and there IN
the distance a little house and about
two miles away smoke stealing up
from the midst of the plantation
where Playmore was-Playmore. his
fathers house-to be his own one day.
Dyck Calhoun had a soul Of char

enthusiasms of a poet all the thirst
