us that he was caught in a swamp,
with only an Indian guide beside
him. and adds that he used the
guide as shield while he fired on
the warriors. He shot two of them,
but the others captured him.
The Indians who captured Smith
were known as Powhatans and their
chief was called "Powhatan" A
brother of the chief led the attack
ing party, which took the prisoner
to an Indian village.
Indian women and children were
astonished when they saw the white
man. He was placed in a hut
guarded by warriors. and was served
with cornbread and the flesh Of deer.
Smith Asked to Help.
An old warriors son lay near
death, and Smith was taken to the
bedside. Since he had learned some
of the words Of the native language
he was able to understand when
he was asked whether he could dc
anything to keep the man alive.
Il can do nothing without the
magic water which they have at
Jamestown" he replied, but II you
will let me go there, I will return
with some of it and will cure him.
The Indians would not allow the
prisoner to return to his friends, lest
he should never come back, but they
let him write message on a piece
OF paper which he carried with him.
This was taken to jamestown by
messengers, and in three days they
returned with the magic water"
Unfortunately, the wounded man
died while the messengers we're
away, but the fact that the pris-
oner could make the paper speak"
was in his favor, and the Indians
wondered whether or not he was
a god.
After while, Smith was led to
the village where Powhatan lived,
and was taken before him. The
mighty chief ruled 200 Indian viii
lagos.
Smith was told that the sentence
of death had been passed. Accord
ing to the story which he later told
he was laid on the ground and two
warriors prepared to put him to
death, but Pocahontas, daughter OF
the chief, saved him.
That story has been doubted, but
it is by no means impossible. Ac-
tions of a like type were common
among Indians. Many an old war
rior adopted a prisoner as his son.
and Indian women sometimes saved
captives whom they wished for hus-
bands.

his way eastward and fought In an
Austrian army during a war against
the Turks.
In the story he has left us Of his
life. he says that he gained the rank
of captain while with the Austrians.
In one battle. he was captured by
the enemy and was sent to a Turk
ish household In Constantinople as
a slave.
Escaped From Turks.
Later, he escaped from Turkey by
crossing the border of Russia. The
Russians received him kindly. The
iron collar was taken from his neck
and he was given food and shelter
by the peasants.
After two years Of wandering
across Russia and Western Europe,
Smith managed to get back to Eng
land. He was then about Is, and
before long he was to take part In a
famous voyage.
The failure of Raleigh's attempts
to start a colony in Virginia did not
prevent later efforts. In 1906, new
trial was decided upon. Raleigh
was then in prison, but other men
were eager to try their fortunes IN
Virginia. Some merchants in Lon
don formed a company to SEND a
colony there. They succeeded IN
finding 100 settlers who set san IN
three ships about the middle OF De-
cember. One of the men aboard was
John Smith. The vessels met oao
weather and were blown of their
course, The first landing was made
at one of the islands Of the west
Indies.
After spending three weeks IN
Southern seas, the voyagers sailed
northward until they came to the
coast Of Virginia. 1t was now spring
in the year 1907, and the weather OF
Virginia was pleasant. The party
decided to make their settlement
beside a river which they called the
James, in honor of King James, the
British ruler.
Men went ashore to cut down
trees as the first step in bullolng
a fort, tents being used for shelter
while the fort was going up.
Village Called "James Town..
The fort was called Fort James,
and soon there were huts all about
it, making a small village, with the
fort as the chief building. The
village was called James Town. For
a long time, the name wa spelled
in that manner, but in our story we
shall use the modern spelling,
Jamestown"
One day, Capt. Smith and half a
dozen others sailed up the James
River and obtained turkeys, venison
and cornbread in exchange for
beads, copper and iron hatchets.
More trading took place IN the
weeks which followed, and the set
tiers feasted on the food which
came into the village. They also
shot geese which were flying south
for the winter
Later, Smith made another trip
up the river and met some Indians
who were not friendly. Smith tells

Co2cb0y Picks His
Colortul Costume
For Use, Not Show
BY carroll G. HALL,

Most boys and girls are attracted
by the colorful costumes worn by
cowboys. In fact, parts of the cow
boys costumes are often adopted for
sportsWear.
The cowboy didn't choose such an
assortment Of wearing apparel mere
ly because it was different or gaudv-
colored. Each item was developed
through long experience on the great
American plains and serves some
practical purpose.
The spurs are useful when working
with the herd. They guide the pony
when the cowboys hands are busy
with the lariat. They aid, also. In
tanning the partially broken mus
tang.
The high-heeled boots are made to
fit into the stirrups and brace the
cowboy when he lassoes a steer.
Then, too. open-top boots slide of
easily when he is thrown from the
saddle. The tight-fitting overalls-
jeans, If you please-were made to
fit the saddle and the rounded sides

cloth to catch and tear.
The chaps protect the cowboy S
legs and thighs as he rides through
the cactus and chaparral. His re-
volver Is for stray wolf or coyote
that might attack the herd-or per-
haps for dangerous snake.
The broad-brimmed hat is a
portable and durable sunshade that
protects its wearer from the desert
sun and from rain. The kerchief
around his neck protects his face
and throat from the raw, blustery
blasts of winter and keeps the dust
| out of his nostrils as he rides behind
the herd.
OF course, the bright colors and
fancy metal trimmings are orna-
mental and reflect their owners
individual taste.
