They were lined up on th* nldes of a huge aquare. Colonel Haw klna, the Indian commissioner, was about to harangue them. As Hawkins rose to speak, he halted, dumfounded at a strange sight. Into the hollow square atalked a tall Indian. His face wai painted Jet black, streaked wltb queer daubs of white. His half-naked body waa as black and hideous as his face. Upon his head waved a foreat of eagle plumea, Behind bla back dangled the tail of a newly-elain buffalo. Like some nightmare ghost the weirdly arrayed Indian strode Into the square. At hie heels were thirty other sav ages In like disguise. Around the open nquare they marched In utter silence, their leader halting now and then , to exchange myatic "peace signs" wltb the more prominent or tbe Creek chiefs. Then the odd procession vanished. No word had been spoken. Yet the Creeks, who had come to the confer ence prepared to Join forces with the United States, suddenly changed their minds. Hawkins' moet eloquent pleas fell upon deaf ears. Nor oould the commissioner understand what bad befallen. He asked the name of the black-painted leader who had thus boldly broken In upon a solemn coun cil. The half-awed reply of the Creeks waa: "Tecumseh!" Man Who Hated Profjreae. Tecumseh was bravest and wisest of the Shawnee oblefs. He waa born near Springfield, 0., In 17<J8. When he was a young man he won fame in tho campaign against Oenernl | Wayne's Yankee troops. From boy i hood he hated the United States. Nor cruld Oen. W. H. Harrison, tho local Indian agent, soften his hatred. He repudiated all land treaties made with the whites, and in 1808 bit upon a scheme which threatened to oheck westward progress. He planned to combine all the warring western tribes and to form them Into a mighty federation whose objeot waa to destroy the white men. Tecumaeh waa helped by his brother, "the Prophet," who accomplished a aeries of neat, hand-made mlraolee that made a tremendoua Impression on the natives. The great plan failed, through the Ions of the battle of Tippecanoe (at which Tecumaeh wag not present), and the baffled leader shifted to the far south. There he sought to Stir up the tribes against the government and to make thorn allies of the Brit ish. For the War of 1812 was at hand. Like a firebrand, he swept through the south. Almost everywhere his fierce eloquenoe drew the Indians to his standard. In alarm, the govern ment tried to check this uprising. Hawkins was sent to urge the Creeks to stand firm In their allegiance & Uncle Sam. But Tecumaeh was too olever for him. By marching Into the council square and by the um of cer* tain nacred Indian rites he quite spoiled the effect of Hawklna' speech. ?Then Tecumseh made a fervent ap-~ peal to the Creeks to cast off the white men, to give up farming and to turn back to their old wild life of hunting and fighting. He said he | bore that message from the Qreat Spirit, who also ordered them to side with the British. One Creek chief, "Big Warrior" by name, doubted thia and demanded proof. "I will give you proof!" shouted Te oumseh. "When the hour for the up rising comes you shall see my arm stretohed like pale fire across the heavens. I go now to Detroit. When I arrive there I shall stamp my foot, and every 'house In your village shall fall to the ground.** This waa In the autumn of 1812. In December of that year a comet stretohed across the skiss, and. an earthquake overturned the Creek village. This vu proof enough for the Creeks that Tecumseh was Inspired. A Mysterious Disappearance. Meantime Tecumseh took the field with the British in the War of 1812. He was made a brigadier-general, and at the head of thousands of native warriors along the Canadian border did mighty deeds against the United States. Says one British historian: "But for the red men led by the brave Teoumseh It Is probable we should not now hare Canada." At the siege of Fort Melgs Tecum seh was foremost In the attack. He saved all the American prisoners there from torture. Wor, although ha hated every white man, ha would never permit a oaptWe to be tortured or burned. Just before the famous battle of the Thames Teoumseh laid aside his gorgeous uniform and sword and donned his simple hunting dress. When he waa asked why he did this he answered simply and fearleaajy: "This day I shall die." Nor after the battle oould any trace of him be found. It waa claimed ? but not provwv ? that Col. , Richard Johnson killed him. But his body wig not discovered on the IMd. Supersti tious natives believed be was miracu lously spirited away to the happy hunting grounds. Rig exact fata la still a mystery. General Harrison wrote praising Teoumeeh's genius for war and statecraft, and added thai but for the westward march of the white man ha might bare been "found er of an empire thai woald hare it railed t* gVvy ttofe * M?(feo fed fcEwq/* ^ i _ ?-! ii ?< (HKHTKItFIKM) LAI) by Coroner for Killing 111* Fih>r Chesterfield Advertiser.

When Mrs. Hardy heard that hor daughter was coming Hhe asked the minister If ho had sent her a cable. The minister said he did not lie outright, but he admitted that he evaded the queteton in such a man ner that he might as well have lied In a straightforward manner. He said he feared to tell his md.thor he had cabled for his slater for fear the knowledge that she was so ill would make her worse. ?
