He was soon busy writing and illustrating articles for Harper’s Monthly Magazine. His article “Toilers of the River,” which appeared in the magazine’s February 1906 issue, may have been his first published work. Clearly Harper’s liked Pyle and his students. Elizabeth Shippen Green’s illustrations for Warwick Deeping’s “Tiphanie le Fee” appeared in the same issue, and Pyle’s pirate story, “Fate of a Treasure-Town,” appeared in the magazine’s December issue.     I do not know how many more pieces TO produced before
