what's going to happen to him."
Very well then." said her father, when
the Captain returns, I'll ask him here, to face
John and you If he gives his approval, I'll
give mine"
That's fair enough" said Alden. II shan't
hesitate to face him."
"Hesitate" said Priscilla. Watch the
CAPTAIN blush when look him in the eye! He
couldn't come himself to say he loved me!
You're twice the man he is, John if you
weren't wouldn't have you"
Mr.. Mullins was tired of standing. Good
evening, John Alden" he said. "And until
the Captain tells me he approves, desire you
not to court my daughter, either publicly or
privately. You understand me - no amatory
salutes nor improper gestures"
He means you mustn't kiss me good
night" said Priscilla, but when you come
again, if nobody is around. you may hold my
hand, provided you don't squeeze it. Good
night - come again soon!"
She gave him a gentle push toward the
threshold and the tall youth departed thought
fully, carrying his hat in his hand and for
getting to put it on. Priscilla bolted the door
behind him, and turned toward her father.
Hell do very well, won't he, Father"
Daughter am distressed
Don't be! love him, he loves me. and ="
II should have said that before his wife
died, you bestowed on the Captain too much
of your affection. On the ship coming over

you looked at him -"
What sticks in my memory" said Pris-
ella, lis the way he looked at Barbara. Her
sister was living then. too. Miles is over
rated!'
IF you don't intend to marry him" said
her father, you need make no estimate of his
character. And if you never cared for him, it
would be we'll to say nothing further of his
attentions to Barbara. An unkind person
might suspect you of jealousy"
Priscilla turned without another word and
entered her room, and behind her the door

Priscilla laughed again. "I'll tell you

Barbara looked relieved "How wonderful!

Barbara's face clouded again.

ton. The candle on the table had burned
down and the wick was sputtering in the
melted tallow, but she did not notice it. She
sat on the narrow bed and stared at the
darkening wall before her. When she reused
herself at last, it was to take off her gray
dress and lay it across the chair. Then she sat
on the bed again, in her chemse, and stared
once more in front of her, lost in thought.
Captain Miles Standish was long delayed.
He followed the Indians deep into their crafty
retreat. until the colony began to doubt
whether he would return. The cleverest fight
ers had gone with him. Those who remained,
as they worked in the clearings, would glance
often at the dark woods. and would speculate
uneasily as to their fate, should the savages
bring him to bad end. At night they bolted
their cabins, and even by day they warned
their women to keep close to the house.
Mr.. Mullins shared the general fear, but
Priscilla did not Her father. she told herself
being sick and old, was liable to groundless
terrors, but the Captain with his armor on.
with his sword and his blunderbuss, could be
no worse than inconvenienced by the arrows
of naked red men. The Captain would come
back - she wished he would hurry. John too
expected him, but was inclined to be patient
1t was Barbara who took his absence most
to heart She charged herself with tidying up
his empty cabin. Priscilla looked through the
open door and saw her at it, one sunny morn
ing.
How handsome of you" she said. You're
a lesson to us in charity. There's very little
more you could do for him if he were your
husband"
Barbara came to the entrance with the
broom in her hand, gentle creature who
might be as persistent as the next woman. She
was darker than Priscilla. not so tall. nor so
buxom. She had steady eyes.
HE likes the place clean. he's neat man.
and I'm all the family he has left. II it weren't
ready when he came, I'd never forgive my
