One OF the duties of the American
ambassador to London Of these days
is to present American girls at
court. One Of the duties Of the
King Of England and Of the Queen
for that matter. ia to stand at one
end of a hall while the Ambassador
brings In the daughters of the
wealth and influential Americans
and introduces them to the highest
officials Of the British Empire
The King Of England does not
make a practice OF walking back
and forth among his people shaking
hands right and left with all COM
ers who. crave the honor and the
fame. 1t will afford. Unlike the Pres
ident OF the United States who does
not need to know the name of the
man he shakes hands with their
! majesties bow only to those who
have been presented,
1t is said Of King George that he
likes American women right we'll.
He has gone out Of his way to pay
attentions to the wife OF James
Hope-Nelson, who was Isabelle Wall
lie. He has bowed most graciously
to Lady Wilfrld Peek, who was Ed
wine Thornburgh. The queen. how
ever, bows only haughtily at these
American upstairs. The crop of
American girls presented at Eng
lish court has grown rapidly or re-
cent years. Among the most fla
vored of pure American women
without "a foreign title in recent
years was Ava Willing Aston, whose
regal appearance had all the court
attaches gazing.
But history shows these present
day social aspirants are only fol-
lowers OF dusky Indian maid, for
the first American girl to be pre-
cented at English court was poca-
hontas Of Virginia.
II accounts are to be believed Po-
cahontas was favorite at the
English court. She was not we'll
liked by James, the king. hut was
liked by his queen. Pocahontas. of
course, was q princess, daughter OF
the great Chief Powhatan, ruler of
Virginia before the days oil. the white
man. This Indian maid was born
in 1894, as near as can be ascer-
tanned. She was agile and fond of
sports. and there is reason tc be-
lieve Powhatan was proud of the
beauty OF his eldest daughter. In
spite Of her dusky beauty She never
would have been known to fame had
1t not been for the English explorer
and colonizer, Capt. John Smith.
Smith met tho girl soon after he
founded his colony at jamestown in
1907. While making an explora-
5 tion inland with three other men his
party was surprised by the Indians.
All were killed with arrows in their
backs as they sat around their camp
fire.
Smith at the time was away from
camp hunting. The first he knew
he was shot at from ambush. An
Indian guide was with Smith. Lash

OF the Indian. Smith ran for his life.
He compelled the guide to stand be-
tween him and the pursuers and
thus kept them from shooting. At
the same time Smith would stop at
intervals and fire at the Indians.
His aim was SO llnerring that he
killed three Indians before he
finally was cornered in bend % the

wandered too near to the river and
his feet sank IN the Quicksands.
The Indians pulled Smith out OF

LIFE SAVED by
INDIAN GIRL.
The Indians evidently had planned
to torture Smith to death. He d.
vined their thoughts and demanded
that their chief be brought before
him. The chief of the band was
opechancanough. a brother Of the
great chief Powhatan. When Ope-
chancanough appeared Smith drew
o compass from his pocket and
showed how 1t pointed north, no
matter which way it was turned.
He gave these Indians the first lee
ture on science. They understood
little of what he said but they We're
impressed by the compass and
finally took the captain before Pow
hatan.
A council was called and Smith
was sentenced to die. In the mean
time he made friends with Pocahon-
tas and other young girls and boys
about the village. They were pres
ent to watch the killing. Powhatan
was given the club to do the slay-
ing. AS he raised 1t to beat out
Smiths brains Pocahontas threw
herself on Smiths head. She said
not word but looked up at her
father with the uplifted club. Final
~ the club was gently lowered and
Powhatan looked at the chiefs in
council.
Their eyes showed they wished
the girls wish he granted. Smith
was given the liberty of the camp,
but not released. The Indians
planned raid on jamestown. With
Smith a prisoner they believed they
could conquer the settlers in it. He
knew enough of the Indian Language
to know of their plans and advised
against 1t, He said the. white men
had guns which would blow a thou
sand men in pieces. To prove his
power he offered to make marks
with a pencil on piece Of note pa
per and send the paper to, James
town where he would get medicines
to cure sick Indian.
To prove his boast an Indian mes
senger was sent with Smiths note.
Messages by writing were new to the
Indians and they were terribly sur
prised at the captains power. In
his letter Smith told the settlers to
make a show Of power. such as dis
charging their cannon against a row
of posts. The Indians came. back
much impressed and no attack was
made on the settlement. Smith be-
came such a fayorite about camp by
making curious things with his knife
that Powhatan released him on re-
quest of Pocahontas. Powhatan and
Smith swore eternal friendship
Soon after his release Smith return
to England. Trouble broke out he
tween the settlers and several white
men were taken prisoner.
Captain Argall. who arrived In
1912 as Smiths successor decided tc
capture Pocahontas and hold her
as hostage. AT that time she was
living on the Potomac as the guess
OF chief, Japazaws. Argall sent
presents to Japazaws and finally of
fered him Q copper kettle IL he
would betray Pocahontas into his
hands.
Japazaws wanted that copper ket,

ed from the squaw and made a spris-
Oner. The squaw was given a sig
nal to escape and she fed to the
shore. The girl was takenlt James
town where she was made pris-
oner, but otherwise treated with ev-
cry courtesy. She was given the
dress of a white woman and was
taught to read and write English.
An effort was made to get Powhatan
to release all his prisoners. slrren-
der their muskets and also pay
tribute Of grain for the freedom OF
his daughter. Powhatan refused to
make the treaty partly because he
did not trust his daughter and part
ly because he feared the English
would not keep their word.
POWHATAN ASKS DAUGHTER
BE RELEASED FIRST.
Powhatan wanted his daughter to
be released before he gave anything
to the English. The English feared
the treachery of the Indian CHEZ
and wanted the prisoners returned
with their muskets and provisions
first. Efforts to meet near James,
town and make an exchange were
futile. The Indians would not trust
themselves in the vicinity Of the
white mems cannon and the Eng
lishmen would not venture into tho
wilderness. to make the exchange.
In 1913 Governor Sir Thomas
Dale, governor Of Virginia, took Po-
cahontas up the Potomac river to
visit her father. They found Pow
hatan absent and the Indians OPEN

burned the Indian village. The
