At a small, familiar opening in the shade trees, almost half a mile from the train, we never failed to see the ?icker of a white handkerchief. It signaled their welcome. And then - well, I doubt if any one may have in this world a better moment. Yes - that was years ago, and there are strangers in the old home, but to this day every time I enter Hillsborough I look for that ?ick er of white, away off among the trees.'" "Irving Bacheller (1859-1950) was an American journalist and writer who founded the first modern newspaper syndicate in the United States.
