ELL8K WATA W A. A townful of UbiwnM Indians. clad In weirdly fantastic mourning, howled the death^llrge about a great wigwam ooe day In 1*26- In ttiw wigwam lay a hideous, one-eyed man, whose name bad Ion* been known and hated by every white settler in the west. ? Me w?? Ellskwataws, the "Prophet/ brother of the famous Tecumseh and deadly foe to tht United State* gov ernment. l A few days bafore thia scene of noisy mourning the fifty-year-old prophet had been in the act of light lag his pipe when he tank to the ground, lifeless. < Hia followers had 1)000 horror-struck. For they had dee mad him immortal. Hia death meant thai loea of their wlaeat, moat powerful leader. They l^id the body in atate upon a pile of furs lp the wigwag and beftn the deatL dance. Whan the dancing and feaatlng were andad the tribe marched In aad pro cession to the prophet's bier to carry him to bis grave. As' they neared sthe pile of fura the silent figure upon it ' suddenly eat up, f A Weird "Mlraoie.* *1 have been In ?ara<jUae for three days," calmly remarked the supposed ly dead prophet, rfs his frightened tribe-folk shrunk back In horror. Mi bave talked face to face with the Great Spirit and haVe brought you a message from him. Call the nation to gether that I may impart the tidings to all." . ? When the awed "nation" had as sembled the prophet proceeded to de liver his "message/' which Included a command that the Shdwnees cease from lying, stealing and drunkenness j and which In various points strength^ ened the prophet's authority over ! them. This was but one of many aim . liar tricks by which the one-eyed genius held bis people's allegiance ? and roused them to a frensy of loy alty toward himself/ The prophet led a Strange, adven turous life, many of whose Incidents can scarcely' be explained by natural causes. As brother OJ the mighty Tecumseh, he won war fame and wealth. He helped Tecumseh by over awing the Indians with "miracles." Be tween them the brothers swayed near ly all the western tribes. In 1808 the prophet secured ft large tract of land where the Tippecanoe and Wabash rivers Join, and he rallied to his stand ard more than ft thousand braves of different neighboring tribes. To his followers he wis more than a mere leader. He was also their "medicine man" and supernatural master. Yet despite all this, he governed so badly that soon all but 300 of his iien de^ serted. Nothing but - TecUmseh's aid prevented the remainder of the band from scattering. i r Rut even Tecumseh could not save his brother's land. For In 1809 the government, through Gen. W H Har rison, bought from the Indians a huge tract of territory that Included all' the prophet's domains. Tecumseh sought in vain to combat this purchase. Pali ng, the two brothers set to work com bining all the western tribes into a league to destroy the white men. Te cumseh did most of the brain work In the scheme, but the prophet's super natural claims, forecasts and miracles also proved very useful. General Har. rlson took prompt steps to put down the conspiracy. . The climax was reached at the bat tie of Tippecanoe, in November, 1811. Tecumseh had gone southward to en st new tribes for the league. In his absence the prophet was keeping the ocal Indians in a fever heat of war like fury. Harrison, with 800 soldiers (mostly militia) marched to Terre Hauto and thence sent a declaration fn U Jrophet' Tt*e messengers Were Insulted and driven' back. Then Har tmvn advanced uP?n the prophet's X? caTI>,ng for night a short Qistance from It.

When I climbed into my a?at X remarked that I hoped Mr. Thornton had given him minute directions. "'He wasn't around/ answered Tom. "'Why didn't you ask the chauf feur?* " 1 do wish, Alice,' was Tom's crisp reply, 'that you wouldn't fuss about anticipated difficulties. If this little buzz wagon loses Its way to the Hanscombs I'll eat the carbureter,* "Naturally after that I dropped the subject, still, after a while I ven tured to ask, 'Are you sure this is tfce, right way?' when we turned on a very rough road. .* ' "Of course, I'm sure,' returned Tom. 'We go on here for a mile and then turn south.' "That sounded all .right, but we traveled on and on without coming to a south turn and I began to be nervous. 'Do ask that man where we are/ I implored Tom, as we passed a farmer. "'Nonsense!' he said. *1 know where we are. Here is the turn nowT He aimed the car into a narrow wood road.~~ ~ That doesn't look like a highway to me/ I remarked. "'No, It's Just a cut-off/ replied Tom. "I began to think that he might really know where he. was, but when the road lost Itself in a large pasture my doubts returned. " 'Perhaps we did pass the real cut off/ mused Tom, casually. 'We can run back and pick it up, all right' "By that time it was growing dark, and Tom got out and lit the lamps, an4 U**11 went back to the main road and J meekly suggested that we inquire at a farmhouse which woTE&'ir in the distance. I " 'What's the use of going so far out of our way?' demanded Tom. 'Don't you see that I have my. bear ings now?' I didn't see, but I re frained from telling him so." "I should have thought that you would have told him so very pointed ly," declared her sister. "Oh, my dear girl, you aren't mar ried to Tom. He's the best man in the world, but~he? well*. he thinks he's omniscient when it comes to knowing roads. "At last Tom turned ^triumphantly I into the driveway ofr a country house. " *We may be a trifle late, but we're here all right/ he said. Then he add ed: '"Great Scott! It's Rose Lodge!' And Hose Lodge it was. " 'Get into any trouble?' asked Mr. .Thornton, rushing out onto the porch. ** 'Oh, no, we Just thought your din ners were good enough for us/ said Tom, with a weak effort at a Joke,, i "Mrs. Thornton's share T>f the laughter was rather mirthless, I thought, and when we went Into the dining room a moment later t saw that our places were filled by two dinner guests. While Tom phoned some excuse to the Hanscombs, Mrs. Thornton, and the ma)d crowdbd two more places In at the table."
