The Smithaonlan Institution, dis
cussing the project, said In part:
"This three hour engagement. In
which the French colonial troops
were handicapped by lack of artil
lery and the Indiana were supposed
ly directed by Kngllsh traders, may
hove hod a significant effect, at the
time unappreciated, on the long
struggle between the two empires

"The Chlckasaws long had been
hostile to the French and friendly
to the English.
Bienville had
plunned to crush them in a vise be
tween his own troops and a French
force under Uenerul d'Artaguette
which was moving southward from
the 'Illinois territory.' The latter
never arrived and It was later
learned it had been cut to pieces by
a Chickasaw ambush The Indians
had taken many prisoners and
burned them at the stake.
Defeat Considered Significant.
"Henceforth.
the unconquered
Chickasaw constituted a serious ob
stacle to French progress from their
gulf colonics to the northwestward.
Otherwise they might have estab
lished a continuous fortiArd line west
of the Appalachians between Can
uda and the gulf.
"After the battle of Ackta the
Chlckasaws, members of that old
Creek confederacy, remained In pos
session of the territory around Tu
pelo for approximately a century.
They were one of the most progres
sive of Indian tribes, but were un
able to stand ogainst the southwest-
ward expansion of the United States.
"While primarily concerned with
delimiting the site of Ackla, Collins
will also try to locate other spots
In the neighborhood significant In
Chickasaw history."

look as if he really thought it was

very proud of what he had done, as
he really had a right to be.
It was Just then that little Miss
Nanny discovered for the first
time his torn trousers and skinned
tail. “ Oh. Danny," she cried, and
her voice was filled with pity, "you
are hurt!"
“ It's nothing much," mumbled
Danny, trying to hide his skinned

his life he has wished for a long,

lie down while she washed and

as she worked over the poor skinned

to have ber fussing over him was
worth all that he had been through.
When he had been made as com

side by side to plan what they should
do and where they should make
their new home, for they knew now
that they could never be happy

“ It is very nice here," said little
Miss Nanny, who somehow couldn't
bear to think of leaving her old
home.
“ But It isn't safe any m ore," said
Danny in a very decided way. “ Red

"But Reddy Fox will hunt there

a bit safer there than here."
Danny looked thoughtful. "That
is very true," said he. "I tell you
what; let's look for a new place to

folk often have their bed set into
a niche lined with books—add a re
liable pair of eyes and a good light
and who’d ask for more out of life?
And why not combine dining room
and library? Nothing would give
more genuine distinction to an other
wise innocuous room than one wall
with book shelves to the ceiling. If
this happens to be the window wall,
make a window seat between and
add plump cushions. If it should
be the wall against which you need
to have your sideboard, that's all
right too—books would make rather
a handsome background for candle

If you have a collection of books
you're proud ot, there's no reason
why they shouldn't have the spot

instead of the fireplace as the cen

gather around these winter nights.
Or else sink a single shelf into the
walls all around the room at about
eye level or just below; this will
give quite a smart design to the
wall, particularly if you have in

This is a little off the subject but
It's worth saying—don't be diffident

Foshay. after a long search, un

"The pioneers say he was not a

The Man Who Come Back

H There was a time when Frank S. Helmar of Shamo-
kin, Pa., could get a kick out of ghost stories. But not any
more. Frank says the old spook yarns leave him cold now
adays, and never again will any mere piece of fiction make
the hair crawl up the back of his neck. For Frank went up
against the real thing once, and now he knows what a scare
really is. Hold onto your hats while Frank tells us about it,
boys and girls—the strange tale of the Mumbling Ghost!
Quite a few years ago—when Frank had just passed his
eighteenth birthday—he began to get that restless feeling
that comes to most young lads his age—the itch to travel.
It seemed to him that there wasn’ t any opportunity for a
young fellow in the little mining and manufacturing town in

one day, after work, he tucked a little bundle under his arm and, with
a little lump in his throat, struck out over the hill toward the railroad
tracks and points north, east, south and west.
Planned to Settle Down in Elmira.
Frank didn't know where he was going, and he sure got
there. For five years he wandered about in practically all of the
eastern states, working In a factory here and a restaurant there,
doing odd Jobs, and sometimes even landing in jail on suspicion
of vagrancy. At the end of five years, Frank found himself work
ing In a silk mill In Elmira, N. Y., and liking the Job and the
town so well that be was planning to setUe down.
He had even subscribed to a newspaper back in Shamokin and or
dered it sent to him In Elmira.
But it was that newspaper that
proved his undoing For it not only set his feet to itching again, but
also provided him with the most horrible shock of his whole life.
It was Just a little paragraph, way down in the corner of a
page, In one of the first papers that came to him from back home
In Shamokin. but it made the tears fill Frank's eyes. His old pal.
Jack Hasco, so the paragraph said, had been killed that day,
and mangled beyond recognition. Frank felt pretty had about it
for two or three days, and thinking of Jack also made him wonder
how his other old pals were getting along. And he decided to go
back to the old town for a visit.
He arrived in Shamokin about midnight on February 14. 1929 The
sky was dark and a storm was brewing. The wind blew fitfully and the

few people on the streets were wrapped up in heavy overcoats and hur
rying to get in out of the cold. Frank pulled the collar of his own coat
up around his neck and headed for the East Side, where he once had lived.
"It seemed strange to be back home again,” he says. " I had ex
pected to find the East Side improved, but it was still the same old hole,
with its blind alleys and poorly lighted streets. I was heading into an
alley near my old home when I saw a dark form coming toward me.
I saw, as it approached me, that it was a man, and thought it might
be some one I knew. As he came up to me I looked closely at his face.
One look at that fellow's face and Frank felt his body stiffen.
“ I let out an insane scream ," he says, "and beads of perspiration
began forming on my cold brow. My heart was beating violenUy?

toward me. Us eyes bulging in surprise and a slight smile com
ing to its lips. Yes—you guessed it. It was my old pal—my dead
pal. Jack Hasco—and he was mumbling! Mumbling something in
some outlandish language that I couldn’t understand!"
Falls Unconscious in Terrorized Flight.
Frank fought to pull himself together. Gathering up all the
energy that was left in his weakened, trembling body, he let out
another wild yell and, with a leap and a bound, he practically
flew out of that alley. “ Then I ran,” he says. "R an on and on.
until everything turned black in front of me and I slid In a heap
to the ground. When I regained consciousness strange faces were
looking down at me. When I told them my story they looked in
credulously at one another, said I was drunk, and walked away.
I picked my,self up. brushed off my clothing and moved on."
A little way down the street. Frank saw the lights of an all-night
lunch wagon. A cup of coffee would go good after his experience, and
it might help him pull himself together. He was sitting on a stool in
the lunch room sipping his coffee when the door opened and another
familiar figure came in.
But this time it was a LIVING figure. Baldy Williams, another
member of the old gang. Never in Frank’ s life had the sight of an old
friend thrilled him so. "B ald y!" he yelled. And Baldy said. "Why,
Frank Helmar. where in the heck have you been all these years." And
for the next few minutes they talked about Frank's travels, but Frank
wasn't long in bringing up the story of his strange experience.

As he talked on. he saw a twinkle come into Baldy’ s eyes. The
twinkle turned into a broad grin. Frank wondered why Baldy was
laughing at him. Did Baldy think he was drunk too? At last Baldy
put up a hand and laid it on Frank's shoulder.
"Take it easy, Frank." he said. "D on't let this get you down.
What you read in the paper about a Jack Hasco being killed is
true enough, but there were two Jack Hascos In Shamokin. The

That sounded swell to Frank, but still he wasn't convinced.

Again Baldy smiled—a little sadly this time. "Well, that's another

"I don't know whether they were

whether the flow of hot springs Into
the river has caused them to shed

they're not as fur-bearing as they

It has been definitely determined,
however, that the skins of fur-bear
