TELEPATHY
Miles Stsndish hsd told John
Aldea bow bnrs ha was How
ha could face the bullets and
march up to the cannon’s mouth
But ba admitted when it cams
to pleading bis csss before a wom-
an ha was seriously lacking
So he asked John Aldan to
to over and get Priscilla to name
the day for the oM warrior
It appears that she was at wok
with her back to the door but as
is walked in she turned and said
1 knew it was you as soon ae
you stepped on the threshold for
1 was just thinking of you
Mental Telepathy John Alden
was of course just thinking of
Priscilla Had she mistaken him
for Miles Standishh there might
have been hopes for the captain
But John proceeded to the task
he was sent to do and dwelt
strongly on his fighting qualities
because that was sll he had to
commend him
But the coyish maiden asked a
few questions that made John Al-
den spoil the whole speech For
instance she rightfully asked why
the brare man did not come him-
self She was told he did not
bare time Then she mode a few
remarks about net haring time
before the wedding and perhaps
loss time afterwards Being
practical woman she says "why
don’t you speak for yourself
Jobnf t'
the ladieVman ' became
scared and beat a hasty retreat
and told the old Indian Fighter
what hsd happened
Hugh Stsndish hsd tan his
sword through iue heart of traitor
Wat Tyler and who was to prevent
him using his sword likewise on
John Alden For he thought he had
been betrayed by a traitor But
he soon recorered and went to the
council where the rattlesnake skin
had been sent in filled with ar-
rows So Miles Stsndish hsd it
tilled with powder and bullets and
returned to tbs Indians who were
not so anxious for war then as
before
But it needed no go between
for John Alden and Priscilla
They seemed to not only know
ach other's whereabout but
their thoughts as well Mental
