s final caress was
reserved for her mother. For an instant the two clung fondly to each
other, then, accepting Tom's hand, Grace Harlowe passed through the
gateway of her first home to begin her pilgrimage to a second that
awaited her beyond Upton Wood.
The brooding tenderness that lighted Mrs. Harlowe's eyes was reflected
in those of the silent group that stood watching the two figures as,
side by side, they swung bravely up the quiet street in the last warm
rays of the setting sun. An eloquent silence reigned as the intent
watchers followed the progress of the foresters up the street to the
point of disappearance. It was broken by Kathleen West. Out of the love
she bore Grace Harlowe she had christened Grace, "Loyalheart." It seemed
only natural that she should be the one to speak the epilogue to this
little drama of human love and happiness. Clearly and sweetly it fell on
the still evening air: "Having ended her pilgrimage in the Land of
College, Loyalheart has gone to Haven Home."

HENRY ALTEMUS COMPANY'S
CATALOGUE OF
The Best and Least Expensive Books for Real Boys and Girls
Really good and new stories for boys and girls are not
plentiful. Many stories, too, are so highly improbable as
to bring a grin of derision to the young reader's face before
he has gone far. The name of ALTEMUS is a distinctive
brand on the cover of a book, always ensuring
the buyer of having a book that is up-to-date and fine
throughout. No buyer of an ALTEMUS book is ever
disappointed.
Many are the claims made as to the inexpensiveness
of books. Go into any bookstore and ask for an Altemus
book. Compare the price charged you for Altemus
books with the price demanded for other juvenile books.
You will at once discover that a given outlay of money
will buy more of the ALTEMUS books than of those
published by other houses.
Every dealer in books carries the ALTEMUS books.
Sold by all booksellers or sent postpaid on receipt of price

The Motor Boat Club Series
By H. IRVING HANCOCK
The keynote of these books is manliness. The stories are wonderfully
entertaining, and they are at the same time sound and wholesome.
No boy will willingly lay down an unfinished book in this
series.
