When all had assembled the sergeant stepped forward, and the men, three abreast, with rearms shouldered, marched orderly and silently toward the meeting house. Behind came. Governor Bradford in his long robe of omce, walk- ing gravely, as betted a governor. On his right hand walked the venerable Eld- er Brewster in his preacher's cloak, bear- ing the Bible reverently in his hands. On the governor's left was the military chief of the colony, Miles Standish, his heavy armor laid aside for a short cloak, his trusty sword at his side, and a small cane in his hand as a mark of office. Proudly he watched the firm tread, sturdy frames and serviceable weapons of the little troop before him, and was half regretful that among the subjects for the day's thanks- giving was the blessing of peace with all the tribes about them. It was also a pity so many good muskets should he used only in shooting wild fowl, sodoubtless he thought; for the sturdy little captain was, as he had said, a man of war, half of whose thirty-seven years had been spent in knocking about the worldas a soldier of fortune. 7l`|\n can-vnnn nf Wlrlgu `Duane-.6n_ -.u. -_ Qllrlullllll H) II!
