American Seeks To Locate
Pc ,ahonta's Grave.

Although 1t is generally known
that Pocahontas the Indian princess
whose memory is linked with that
OF Capt. John Smith in the school
histories, married an Engishman
and died in England in 1917 as she
was about to return to America,
! o much is known regarding her
last resting place. According to
old records, she Was buried under
the old church in Gravesend, which
burned in 1927. Now, an effort
will be made by Edward Page
Castor, an American, to find her
grave, says the May Popular
Mechanics Magazine in an illustra-
ed article. The new Grevesend
church contains memorials to
Poclhortts in the form of pulpit
made from Virginia wood and given
in 1904 by the state of Indiana, a
stained glass window given by
women of Virginia, and table,

ed away and left but two receding
images before him, ne looked once
more upon one who had gone to some
unknown land, the son who had so
mysteriously disappeared from the
home fellowship and ken, and he saw
again the form of her who had set out
for the land that is beyond the stars,
but not before she had placed in his
hand the precious vase with the pic
tured flute player upon its side.
At the time he had not fully noted
the significance of the happy urchin
in the red robe as he held his flute to
his lips. Pleasures and pursuits
pressed upon him and left the musi-
clan unnoticed through the days and
nights. But the boy had never ceased
his playing, and now with some re.
membered melody, then with some new
adventure in the world of harmony,
lie seemed to be waiting for the recog-
milton and appreciation that he knew
would come. steadfast and invet-
crate optimist, he played on; to weari-
ness and loneliness he played hope
full song forbidding detection and de-
spair, he became prophet of better
days to come. In solitude and useless
ness he was as an only but changeless
friend. To him the old man turned as
to an oracle. Poverty had taken one
after the other Of his possessions, but
had never been able to separate him
from this merry genius, this incorrigi-
bly, persistent promiser.
If the prelude does not get discour-
aged fortune Is likely to admire it and
introduce the performance, and this
turned out to be the reward of the
Industrious hope of the flute player.
He did not hear the step upon the stair
or the knock upon the door, and he
did not see the amazement with which
the schoolmaster listened to the tale
of his lost son, as he embraced him
and tried to realize that he had in
deed come back and brought good for
tune with him, but even more merrily
and madly he played in the dance with
which these two were to go down the
future.
Habits are strange things. One can
get so far into habit of gladness as

out into all the neighborhood. He has
played the old schoolmaster young
again and fixed his thought upon life
that never grows old.
Indeed, the flute player has even en-
couraged the schoolmaster to begin
teaching again. The scholars are his
grandchildren. They are not having
hard time, for they sing on their way
to lessons. They are not unhappy

to the last Christmas moon. Last
summer another of them became q

King of the Hill
BY Christopher G. Hazard


THE long hill glistened in the win
ter moonlight like a frosted cake.
The road that ran down 1t like
sllvered ribbon, reaching across the
railroad track and on through the val
ley, lost itself1@ a shimmering haze
OF snowy whiteness. The wind, as IL
afraid of awakening the sleeping
town, had hushed itself into stiffness,
waiting along the way and under the
shadows of the quiet trees for the sig
nal of dawn. The scene was an invita-
ton to sport now largely displaced
by rushing motor cars, but then one of
the chief delights of the Christmas
season. The bobsled of those days
and nights was the pride of owners
and the prize winner of competitions.

momentous as those of any race track.
The moon had watched with an eX-
pectant eye until ten of the clock and
was about to retire under passing
cloud in disappointment, when the
clamor and shouting of an approach
Ing crowd renewed its spirit. From Il
side street they came, merry lads and
lasses, with those of later years who
had not forgotten how to be young.
Soon the head of the hill was crowded
with competitors and the air rang
with the bustling preparations for the
| first race.
The sleds of that time were no or

| from four to six passengers, they re-

enough to distance the wind, and I'M
controlled by bit and bride, they could
not be stopped before reaching the
foot of the incline. There was thus
enough of adventure in their trips to
furnish the tingling excitement that
kept out the winter cold. The good
natured rivalry, too, gave interest to
the sport.
This year there was special reason
for the gathering, for Tom Atkins,
having received Christmas present
of sled of the latest style and named
'The King of the HILL" had been
boasting that the title was just one
and arousing all the determination
that the others had to prove him
wrong. The Dart" the Racer" the
"Dauntless," the Peerless" and
others as glorious were eager to beat
the untried and Wanting newcomer
The first race was incOnclusive, for
Atkins got false start and tipped his
load over into snow bank. The sec
ond and the third races gave the lau-
rels to the Dart" and the Peerless"
respectively, and left Atkins heart in
his boots; but the fourth attempt end.
ed with ''The King of the Hill" a rod
ahead and with its owners chin pro-
tuberant and uplifted Then time went
by with varying fortunes until the
concluding and deciding contest. II
was agreed that the winner of this
final should be crowned the king of
the hill indeed, with none to dispute
his right.
Amid the hubbub Of these last ar
rangements no one had heard the dis
tant whistle of "The Flyer" as the
night express for Boston was called,
and the competing sleds dashed away
down the long descent without
thought Of danger, nor, until half way
down, did any danger appear, but then
the locomotives headlight flashed
around the curve and upon the cross
ing, now but short distance away,
with baleful and threatening glare.
The other sleds, somewhat In the
rear, were steered into the roadside
snow or left to take care of them
selves as their riders rolled off, but
"The King of the Hill" kept on, In
seeming ignorance of the imminent
collision. Not until the warning blasts
of the engine whistle seemed to
startle him into action did Atkins
move to save. himself and his load.
Then, with wrench of his steering
gear and sturdy leg-sweep, he
brought his sled about, throwing 1t
over upon its side and upon it's fright
ened load as the train swept by, al
most brushing them on it's way.
1t was what the barber called "a
close shave" and what Atkins called
"as good as a mile" but the boys
called it victory and rode Atkins
home on "The King of the Hill' with
their full Endorsement of the title.
The old hill is still there. 1t glitters
yet in Christmas moonlights. But the
boys and girls Of the bobsled time
have grown old, the later generation
has new toys, and the glorious fun Of
Slater's Hill is but a memory. A
pleasant memory it is, though, and
that is a brave. bright spot in ii that
