TM Cout Miles S With Ilkisti Howard Chat < Copyright. Thm Bobtn 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 !

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.

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!
