A second story of equal length, laid in the same house, is expected to
appear within a twelvemonth. The same father and mother are
characters, and the family friend the country doctor; but
subordinately all. The main story concerns itself with the four
children of the two households.
It is an American children's story:
"A Brood of The Eagle."
During the year a third work, not fiction, will be published,
entitled:
"The Christmas Tree: An Interpretation."
The three works will serve to complete each other, and they complete a
cycle of the theme.

EARTH SHIELD AND EARTH FESTIVAL
A mighty table-land lies southward in a hardy region of our country.
It has the form of a colossal Shield, lacking and broken in some of
its outlines and rough and rude of make. Nature forged it for some
crisis in her long warfare of time and change, made use of it, and so
left it lying as one of her ancient battle-pieces--Kentucky.
The great Shield is raised high out of the earth at one end and sunk
deep into it at the other.
