Homeward together they walked, with
a strange. Indefinite feeling,
That all the rest had departed and
left them alone In the desert.
But, as they went through the fields <
In the blessing and smile of the
sunshine, I ;
Lighter grew their hearts, and Prtscilia
said very archly: i t
"Now that our terrible Captain has
gone In pursuit of the Indians,
Where he Is happier far than he would i
be commanding a household.
You may speak boldly, and tell me
of all that happened between you,
W>ioti vrtn nofr.rnod last nieht and '
said how ungrateful you found
me" i
Homeward Together They Walked. |
Thereupon aiwwered John Alden, and
told her the whole of the story,?
Told her his own despair, and the
direful wrath of Miles St&ndlsh.
Whereat the maiden smiled, and said
between laughing and earnest,
"He la a little chimney, and heated
hot in a moment!"
out as ue jjeuu) rtuuxcu uvr, uxiu
told her bow much he bad suf- !
fered,?
How he had even determined to sail
that day In the Mayflower,
And had remained for her sake, on
hearing the dangers that threat*
ened,?
All her manner was changed, and she ,
said with a faltering acoent,
"Truly I thank you for this: how good
, you have been to me always!" j
Thus as a pilgrim devout, who to- '
ward Jerusalem Journeys,
Talcing three steps In advance, and {
one reluctantly backward.
< Urged by Importunate zeal, and wtt!> ?
held by pang8 ef contrition;
Slowly but eteadlly onward, reoedlng
yet ever advancing, - ? ,
Journeyed this Puritan youth to tbo !
Holy Land of his longings, ,
Urged by the fervor of love, and withheld
by remorseful misgivings. ,

The March of
_ Miles Standlsh ]
???Meanwhile
the stalwart Miles Stand- ]
lsh was marching steadily north*
ward, J
Winding through forest and erwamp,
and along the trend of the sea* 1 |
shore.
All day long, with hardly a halt, tho ?
fire of his anger
Burning and crackling wtthtn, and the
sulphurous odor of powder
? a <1.* i
seeming more swwi w ui? uwu.i* ,
than all the scents of the forest.
-? 8Hent and moody he went, and much j ,
he revolved his discomfort;
He who was used to success, and to ]
easy victories always,
Thus to be flouted, rejected, and ]
laughed to scorn by a maiden.
Thus to he mocked and betrayed by ! 1
the friend whom most he had
trusted! I
Ah! 'twas too much to be borne, and
he fretted and chafed In his 1
armor!
|
"I akme am to blame," ha muttered, j ]
"tor mine was thai folly.
What has a rough old soldier, grown , I
grim and gray in the harness,
Used to the camp and Its ways, to do [ '
with the wooing of maidens?
Twas but a dream,?let it pass,?let j
it vanish like so many others!

a weed, and Is worthless;
Out of my heart will I pluck It, and
throw It away, and henceforward
Be but a fighter of battles, a lover and
wooer of dangers!"
Thus he revolved In his mind his
sorry defeat and discomfort
While he was marching by day or lj*
lng at night In the forest
Looking up at the trees, and the con- |
stellatlons beyond them.

After a three daya' march he came
to an Indian encampment
Pitched on the edge of a meadow, between
the eea and the forest;
women at wors ny me tents, ana tne
warriors, horrid with war-paint.
Seated about a Are. and Brooking and
talking together;
Who. when they saw from afar the
sudden approach of the white
men.
Sew the flash of the sua on breast*

Straightway leaped to their feet, and
two. from among them advancing.

offsr him furs as a present;

Forth He Sprang at a Bound.
Two-edged, trenchant knives, with 1
points as sharp as a needle.
Dlber arms had they none, for they
were cunning and crafty.
"Welcome, Kngiish!" they said.?
these words they had learned,
from the traders
Touching at times on the ooast. to i
barter and chaffer for peltries.
Then tn their native tongue they began
to parley with Standlsh,
Through his guide and Interpreter,
Hobomok, friend of the white
man,
Begging for blankets and knives, bat
mostly for musksts and powder, j

concealed, with the plague, In hla
cellars.
Ready to be let loose, and destroy his
brother, the red manl
But when Standlsh refused, and said
he would give thenf the Bible,
Suddenly changing their tone, they
began to boast atld to bluster,
rhsm Wattawamat advanced with
stride In front erf the otber,
And, with a lofty demeanor, thus
vauntlngly spake to the Captain: j
"Now Wattawamat can see, by the
fiery eyes of the Captain,
Angry la be In his heart; but ths
heart of the brave Wattawamat
S not afraid at ths sight He was
not born of a woman,
But on a mountain, at night, from an
oak-tree riven by lightning,
[Perth he sprang at a bound, with all !
his weapons about him,
Shouting, 'Who Is there here to fight i
with the brave Wattawamat T " i
Then he unsheathed his knife, and. !
whetting Kiftfto on his left
hand,
Hsid It aloft and displayed a woman's
face on the handle.
Baying, with bitter expression and
look of sinister meaning:
"* onnthftf at home, with the
face of a man on the handle;
By and by they 6hall marry; and
there will be plenty of children!"
Then stood Pecksuot forth, Belfvauntlng,
Insulting Miles Stand
lsh;
While with his fingers he patted the
knife that hung at his bosom,
Drawing It half from Its sheath, and I
plunging It back, as he muttered:
"By and by It shall see; It shall eat;
ah, ah! but shall speak not!
This la the mighty Captain the white
men have sent to destroy us!
