He was Miles Standish, m{if- tary captain of the little band of “Pilgrims” who crowed trom Eng- land to Massachusetts tn the Mayflower in 1620. The girl was Priscilla Mullens, orphaned daughter of two of those same Pilgrims. Many Englishmen in the early years of the seventeenth century weme Glegusted at the way thelr country’s affairs were memanaged end at the restrictions placed upon religious worship, These people wanted fair laws and the mght to worship God in their own way. Falling to find justice ut home, they sailed to America to start @ colony there. They landed at Plymouth, Mass, and founded a ‘settlement. They were harsh, simple, God-fearing folk, these Pilgrim Fathers, mostly of the farmer end laborer class, used to hard work and privations. For their new home wee bleak ‘and inhospitable, infeated by Indians, and devold of comforts. Yet here the Pilgrims established the birthplace of American Ilberty. Men whe could thrive under euch hardships as theirs were not the sort to subm& |forever to a foreign nation’s tyranny. Miles Standish, a short, strong, thickset soldier, was chosen military‘ ‘captain of the colony. He was a middle-aged man, and had joined the expedition with his wife, Rose, who died goon after landing in America, Standish’e closest friend among the Pilgrims was young John Alden. a cooper by trade, who hed been engaged on repairs upon the Mayflower in by Proxy. England, and who had become interested in the Ores Colony scheme to the point of enrolling ‘himself in it. Perhaps the fact that Priscilla Mulleng was to sail on the game ship had something to do with his resolution, , Alden was youngest of the men who boarded the Mayflower, delng only twenty-one. He was destined to outlive all his fellow-ptoneers, He also said to have been the first of the band to set foot on American eodl at Plymouth Rock The first year or so of life in the new land was too full of excitement, toil and danger to permit Standish to brood much over his wife’a death. As military lesler he was forced to guard the colony against ite Indien foes. Once when news came that a savage tribe planned to destroy the whole settlement by massacre and fire Standish, with eight followers, went to the tribe’s village, killed its two treacherous chiefs and put to rout Its bravest warriors. After that there was peace for a time, and Standish had a chance to turn his mind to other matters He was desperately lonely, and proceeded to fall in love with pretty Priscilla Mullens. But this hero, who bad fearlessly conquered hostile Indians, lacked the courage to propose. He was the {dol of the colony, end had every reason to think that any of its maidens would be glad to become his wife. Yet he dared not ask Priscilla At length he hit upon a scheme for letting her know of hfs love, He oned his friend, young John Alden, and bade the youth go to Pris and woo her for him. It was an age of “weddings by proxy.” Why ‘not send a younger. more eloquent man to do his courting for him? The nea seemed excellent The only flaw in the plan was thet Alden himself was secretly {n love with Pris The thought of making love to her in his friend's name was most distasteful to him. Yet, through friendship and obedience, he consented and set off on his strange mission. John Alden, according to the story, believed Priscilla guessed nothing of his own unspoken love for her. But Priscilla, like most other girla under the same circumstances, knew It perfectly well. Hence she was amazed when Alden called upon her, ng to urge his own sult, but to tell her how brave and good a man Standish was. Her astonishment reached its climax when the young man wound up by formally asking her to marry Standish. Sud- denly, by feminine intuition, she understood the ‘hattle between love and loyaity that was waging {n Alden’s brain. She calmly interrupted his plea for the captain by asking: | “Why don’t you speak for yourself, John?” And Standish’s chances of winning Priscilla were forever ended then jand them. When the captain heard how the mission had failed and that | Priscilla was betrothed to Alden, he was furiously ‘angry and accused John of base treachery toward himself. But later, when hia wrath died down, he asked forgiveness end became once more Alden's closest friend. | The marriage of John and Priscilla soon followed. Alden later became la respected magistrate of the colony and lived wmt!! 1687, longer than any other man who crossed in the Mayflower, Standish died thirty years eerlier, having consoled himself meantime by marrying his first wife's younger sister, Barbara, soon after the failure of his courtship of Pris- cia. ‘ OA A Wooing COO OO OOOO DEY Between Love and Loyalty.
