Here was their sentinel ning down the hill crying: “The dians are coming!" Thelr opportunity had found them wanting. For, with the exception of their dauntless young commander every one of them immediately took to his heels “Halt!" shouted the futurc 1, waving his wooden sword. 1 bravery of their captain shamed al the panic was stopped ch boy was shaking in his om strategic positions hind the trees they waited. The enemy came: but not they were expecting, seems that Tom Higginbotham, was acting as sentinel, had found that waiting for Indians who never came was a tedious job. For sport he had organized a rival com- | pany from among the colored chil- | dren of the town and persuaded them to attack the others. When all was ready he had run down and given the false alarm. i The dark-skinned warriors, with broomsticks, advanced. When Jack's ecompany realized the hoax that had been played on them stones began to fly in earnest, and the flight ended in a free-for-all. Hard- hitting Jack himself decided the vic- tory for his company. The casualties of this historic bat tle of Laclede were hea Not one combatant escaped unscratched. The mothers of the town sat up late that night t& mend torn trousers and jack- ets. Gory noses were proudly dis-| played. The hero pose never had appealed to Jack, however, -and he | went home by a roundahbout route to escaps undue curiosity. s was natural, many a home whipping resulted from this bloody fray. Many a hickory switch dusted the back of the howling progeny of Laclede. Jack’s father, however, was built on different lines. When he saw the torn clothes and the cut face of his son he merely smiled. | “Fighting, eh? Well, it will make | ! a man of you. But never let anyone say that they have licked you.” Upon Jack, who had braced him- self for the expected whipping, these | words made a deep impression, and | the thought of them has carried him ! to vietory through many a fight in | the face of serious odds. | Little John Pershing | | Iv. i scouts was af run- in~ come—but | it the be- the en- emy It who armed was now with pu- John | has about eight years of age, and, his younger brother, Jim, was a t the *“old red schoothouse’ real boy. Mark Twain ! painted a vivid picture of the real bov as he lived in a Missouri town t this period. Jack lived about | the same sort of life in general as did Tom Sawyer. He played ‘hookey” from school. He had all the small | boy’s ‘troubles and he met them in | the same way. He had all the neces- | ary fights, but they were never the | | fights of a bully. He even ralded the orchards and the melon fields of the neighborhood | A story is still told one of these raids. Charles Bigger, a schoolmate, preached Jack early one evening “Old man Temple has a field of | watermelons that are so long,” said he, indicating with his arms a melon | of stupendous size. | “There isn't a melon on earth that big”, returned Jack, unconvinced. “You come with me tonight Tl show vou,”” said Charley. Jack, being from Missouri, willing to be shown That night, after mother tucked ‘the children in and father had put out the lights and gone to bed, Jack got up very quietly, pulled | on his trousers over his nightshirt— no hoy in a Missouri town would have dreamed of wearing shoes while the weather was warm enough to go | without them-——slipped out of the window and jumped off the low | kitchen roof. Charley Bigger was waiting for him in the shadow of the cottonwood trees. Silently they made their way down the mdonlit road to the open country. They “shinned” over the snake-fence and tiptoed and crept past the house of the farmer and into | the melon patch. The melon; ire { enough, were the largest that either of the boys ever had seen, and each selected one of the best. | Now, any watermelon good- sized load for a small boy, and these were all they could carry: so, as they | made their way back, they could not 1s they had on their twig snapped with a loud noise just as they passed the chicken house. Immediately a loud cackling arose among the hens “That'll wake old man Temple.” whispered Charley; “‘we’'d better run.” And run he did; but Jack, after taking all that trouble, didn’t wish to lose his preclous melon. Lights ap- ared in the house and the figure of in the doorway with pil | was a in Laclede n!‘ and was had i o step ds carefully | way down. A rmer Temple moment poor Charley, not | fence in his haste, crashed full szainst it. The melon smarhed all over him, but the boy managed to | scramble over the fence and out of danger. 5 yeiled the angry farmer, ith his gun 1 husg his melon, The farmer approached and looked down at the boy. “Well, if it ain’t John Pershing's boy,” he exclaimed, “and after my melons, too. 1 thought it was one | | of those darned chicken thieves.” i He looked over toward the fence where Charley had smashed his mel on “And the little didn't either, whem T came with the Well, sonny, you just take that and toddle along, and any time you | want another you come right to Joe Temple and he will pick a good one | for you.” So Jack lugged his melon out on | the road where the scared Charley | had been watching the proceedings fro mthe shadows.
