1 while he was still making a dignified effort to formulate his plans, the Com mittee on Public Safety bounced on him and carried him to the place of l execution.
 Powhattan, club in hand, was wait ing and did a war dance around the prostrate form of the well-known Traveller and popular Author.
 "This may never happen again in all history" he said, "but for once the humble native American is going to get back at the tall-browed Writer who comes over here to play horse with our crude Institutions. Captain Smith, you are going away from here. I don't know where you will land. but I am willing to gamble that you will kick on either place; but we ytill have the satisfaction of knowing that no matter what your Impressions may be you won't be able to go back home and put them into Book. I have tried to be pleasant with you and you have pa- trenized me. We know that we are the simple Children of the Wilderness, but we don't like to have any man with your kind of whiskers come along and rub it in on us. For that reason, I shall take much pleasure in soaking you good and plenty"
 Powhatan raised his hickory club and as he did so there was a piercing scream. and his beautiful daughter. Po- cahontas, sprang between him and the recumbent victim.
 Do not strike him, father" she pleaded. Spare him, for my sake"
 Let me give him just one," begged the chief; 1t is coming to him."
 You must not take his life" said Pocahontas, kneeling before her father. 'I have been talking with him and have shown him my Bank Account, and he has promised to get me Into London Society"
 'Impossib1el" exclaimed Powhatan, dropping his club, How could a na- tive American ever hope to break into the exclusive circle?"
 Then Captain Smith spoke up.
 T assure you that an American heiress can do very well in London" said he; that Is, if she leaves her pa rents at home"
 And will you really take my poor child over there and have her mingled with the Smart Set and be presented at Court and all that?" asked the eager

For the past three weeks I have been knocking about along rivers and lakes up in ontario and [ don't think it would be an eX- ageration to say that l have seen al most as many graves as one would find in an ordinary cemetery. At Al- most every bend in one or these strealiis, lt9, down which the lumber came twenty wears ago when they were cutting over that country, saw one or more mounds of earth that I soon learned to know were the unmarked graves or rlVer drivers who had come to sudden and tragic end in the ice-like water or the spring drives.
 And of all the graves ! saw nollceu ecu only two that were marked, while my pu1de told me of another. The ones l saw happened to be on point of land near the private camp l was staying in The owner had inclosed them in stout little wooden fences and had planted evergreens over them' rms was such an unusual spectacle that nv quidc remarked 1t, and he also told sme that the only other river drivers grave that he had ever Parked was one in the same neighbofhood. The tombstone over that one consisted of the drivers boots turned down on two stakes that had been driven into the ground over the body. between which the mans comrades had placed his pike poles.
 Those river banks are full of trag- edies for the novellsts IT they could only be dug out of the memories of the taciturn guides. My guide told me one that is falr sample of the rest and which would make an excellent groundwork for study in pure terror. This tale concerned a hoy who was em- nloved in a lumber camp as helper to the cook. one night he was sent up the river bank to the preceding days camp for some supplies that had been

 In 1607 he went up to visit Powhatan who was a Big Chief in his own tribe and had been cutting a wide swath in Virginia. but who didn't stack up very high alongside of an Englishman with whiskers.
 Powhatan lived in a town known as Weromocomoco. near the junction of Carter's Creek and York Run. It is be- lieved that Captain Smith did not like the name of this town, because it was outlandish and American. the same as Oshkosh and Kalamazoo. which are the only American towns well known in London. He wanted to change the name of the place to smith Lodge, Smithton on -the-Smith.
 When Powhatan held out for a good old Indian name, because it was home made. the Captain made a note that the Americans were a vain and stubborn lot, with an undue pride in their own shabby Possessions.
 It Is @ fair guess that Powhatan and his friends tried to give the Captain a good time Any Britisher with a handle to hAs name who lands in America is sure to be smothered with Social Attentions

Now, glycerine is perfectly Harmless, and serves Q valuable purpose by possessing intrinsic value all it's own, and besides it enhances the curative efEact of the other ingredients entering Into the SEavorite Prescription

 And that is how it happened that Captain John Smith escaped, even after the club was lifted over his head, and how Pocahontas succeeded in meeting and marrying the gallant young Rolfe and actually going to England to be presented at Court.

 Those who belong to the Second Families never get any mention in the Pedigree Certificate. There is no place or show money in the Aristoeracy.
 As soon as the colonists sighted the Virginia coast they opened their sealed orders and learned that Captain John Smith, who was at that moment locked up below with the live stock, had been named as one of the council of seven to govern the new settlement.
 They disobeyed the Royal Command and kept him out of the council for several weeks. Why did they after ward relent and give him a place on the governing board2 Because when they had started the building of James town they discovered that Smith was the only man who knew how to work the Indians for supplies.

 When he started for America, in 1606, he was all primed to do the Kipling Act. He had swell contracts with the publishers right in his pocket and was already framing up what he would say when the newspaper boys came around to pump him.

 We know just how the Captain car- rled on over here, because the records show that he was a typical British Tourist. It is known that on the way over he was very cocky--told the cap- tain how to steer the ship and used to stand out on deck finding fault with the ocean, the sky. the porpoises. the crew. the passenger list, the cooking. the manner of auctloning off the pools, the ventilation of the si0oking room and anything else that Ssne under his observation.

 The first lesson taught the native Americans was that they should es- teem it a privilege to organize Dinners for all British Subjects who happened along.
 Captain John Smith began to get busy exploring Chesapeake Bay and stalking out large tracts of land which he claimed for the Crown. It annoyed him a good deal to find that the In- dians had jumped in and squatted on this Real Estate a few centuries before his arrival. Sometimes when he would be surveying for a boulevard right through an Indian village the natives would attempt to interfere with his plans. He resented this interference. but he never lost his temper to such an
