Plunged 1t into his heart. and. reeling
backward. the savage
Fell with his face to the sky, and
fiendlike fierceness upon 1t.
Straight there arose from the forest
the awful sound of the warwhoop.
And, like a furry or snow on the
whistling wind of December,
Swift and sudden and keen came a
flight Of feathery arrows.
Then came a cloud of smoke, and out
of the cloud came the lightning,
Out of the lightning. thunder; and
death unseen ran before It,
Frightened the savages fled for shelter
in swamp and in thicket.
Holly pursued and beset; but their
sachem, the brave Wattawamat,
Fled not; he was dead. Unswerving
and swift had a bullet
Passed through his brain, and he fell
with both hands clutching the
greensward
Seeming in death to hold back from
his foe the land Of his fathers.
There on the flowers OF the meadow
the warriors lay, and above them.
Silent, with folded arms. stood Hobo
mok, friend of the white man.
Smiling, at length he exclaimed to the
stalwart Captain of Plymouth:
"Pecksuot Dragged very loud, of his
courage. his strength and his
STATURE
Mocked the great Captain, and called
him little man; but l see now
Big enough have you been to lay him
speechless before you'll"

and won by the stalwart Miles

The March of
Miles StdndiSh

Meanwhile the stalwart Miles Stand
ish was marching steadily north
ward,
and along the trend of the sea-
shore,
All day long. with hardly halt, the
fire of his anger
Burning and cracking within, and the
sulphurous odor of powder
Seeming more sweet to his nostrils
than all the scents of the forest.
Silent and moody he went. and much
he revolved his discomfort;
He who was used to success, and to
easy victories always,
Thus to be fiouted, rejected. and
laughed to scorn by a maiden,
Thus to be Knocked and betrayed by
the friend whom most he had
trusted
All twas too much to be borne, and
he fretted and chafed in his
armorl
Il alone am to blame" he muttered.
for mine was the folly.
What has a rough old soldier, grown
grim and gray in the harness,
Used to the camp and Its ways. to do
with the wooing of maidens?
Twas but a dream.-let it pass,-let
1t vanish like so many others
What | thought was a flower, is only
a weed. and is worthless;
Out of my heart will pluck it, and
throw it away. and henceforward
Be but fighter of battles, a lover and
wooer of dangersl"
Thus he revolved in his mind his
sorry defeat and discomfort.
While he was marching by day or ly-
ing at night in the forest,
Looking up at the trees. and the con-
stellations beyond them.
After a three days march he came
to an Indian encampment
Pitched on the edge of a meadow. be-
tween the sea and the forest;
Women at work by the tents, and the
warriors, horrid with war-paint.
Seated about a fire, and smoking and
talking together;
Who, when they saw from afar the
sudden approach of the white
men,
Saw the flash of the sun on breast
plate and saber and musket,

Suddenly changing their tone, they
began to boast and to buster.
Then Wattawamat advanced with a
stride In front of the other.
And with a lofty demeanor, thus
vauntingly spake to the Captain:
Now Wattawamat can see, by the
fiery eyes of the Captain,
Angry is he in his heart; but the
heart of the brave Wattawamat
Is not afraid at the sight. He was
not born of a woman,
But on mountain, at night, from an
oak-tree riven by lightning,
Forth he sprang at bound. with all
his weapons about him,
Shouting, Who is there here to fight
with the brave Wattawamat?'
Then he unsheathed his knife, and.
whetting the blade on his left
hand,
Held 1t aloft and displayed a woman's
face on the handle.
Saying, with bitter expression and
look of sinister meaning:
II have another at home, with the
face of man on the handle;
BY and by they shall marry; and
there will be plenty of childrenl"
Then stood Pecksuot forth, self
Wanting. insulting Miles Stand
ish;
While with his fingers he patted the
knife that hung at his bosom,
Drawing it half from its sheath, and
plunging it back. as he muttered:
by and by 1t shall see; it shall eat;
ah, ahl but shall speak mott
This is the mighty Captain the white
men have sent to destroy us!
He is little man; let him go and
work with the womenl"
Meanwhile Standish had noted the
faces and figures of Indians
Peeping and creeping about from
bush to tree in the forest,
Feigning to look for game, with ar
rows set on their bow-strings,
Drawing about him still closer and
closer the net of their ambush.
But undaunted he stood, and dissem-
bled and treated them smoothly;
So the old chronicles say. that were
writ In the days of the fathers
But when he heard their defiance, the
boast, the taunt, and the insult.
All the hot blood of his race, OF Sir
Hugh and Of Thurston de Stand
ish,
Boiled and beat In his heart, and
swelled in the veins of his tenn
pies.
Headlong he leaped on the boaster,
and, snatching his knife from its
scabbard,

Great Saving Of Time.

The manager of one OF the electric
light companies. Of the western part
of the country has greatly facilitated
the business of making the monthly
readings of meters by having these
instruments placed on the rear
porches Of houses instead of in the
cellars. About haif of the meters Of
this company are now located in some
convenient and protected place in the
rear of the house, where 1t is always
accessible without regard to the pres
ence or absence of the inmates of the
house. The result is that the average
time formerly consumed by the in
spector has been cut about in half.
