LENOIR, N. C. LENOIR NEWS-TOPIC, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1919 Page Nine THE LEGEND OF BLOWING ROCK calm exterior, but was none the less I enraged. She loved him, the hand- v : i iA n . slmiic ftwasmu, aau leu au me pangs (Rosalie Garaett Ward in Richmond Times-Dispatch) It was long before the palefaces had appeared " on American sail, bringing sorrow and poverty to the aborigines. Therefore, when this circumstance occurred, Osseo, the chief of the Cherokees, was rich in domains of whic hit was his boast to say that within its confines there was so much game that not even the hum blest member of his numerous tribe ever lacked for the greatest abun dance of venison, fish and fowl. And Geche Manito, the Mighty, had given him one present which, as much as he loved his power and his subjects, he esteemed more than all. The great One had given him a daughter, who possessed eyes like twin stars, glossy tresses as black as a raven's wing, and a sylph-like form, the very incarnation of grace and suppleness. The chief, her father, gave her the name of Wenonah, "as the first born of his daughters," but the whole tribe knew her only by the poetical cognomen of the Princess Starlight. When she had arrived at the age of sixteen, when Indian maidens are at the height of their dusky beuaty, many suitors came to claim her hand, but the chief adored her and wished to keep longer with him the beautiful princess whose voice was like unto sweetest music. Loath was he to part with the slen der maiden, who alone of all his chil dren feared him not when the. blood j of his savage ancestors boiled within his veins when he had taken captive an enemy; the one 'being who could dian legend, turn him from cruel vengeance and incline his heart to mercy, that gen tle quality of which Shakespeare says: " 'Tis mightiest in the mightiest and in the throned monarch better than his crown." Osseo, therefore, refused all offers for the hand of lovely Wenonah until one day the princess stood befor ehim, saying: "0, chief and father, I pray you appoint some means by which I may wed, for 'tis not fit that you shouldst wait until I have grown old and utrlv. till thou shalt have to beg for suit- i or sfor the hand which is now hum bly entreated for!" "And thou hast grown tired of thy maidenhood, 0, my lily, fairest of my children? Dost thou wish some stranger brave to rule over you, you my star-eyed, proud Wenonah?" "0, august father, I yearn for love only, and so great is that yearning that I will sacrifice all to gain it." "So be it then; I must prepare to bid you farewell, but now go to your wigwam," i Shu bowed to the ground and glid ed from the council room. Then the chief sent messengers with wands of willows, far and wide, proclaiming that the Princess Star light was now sufficiently old to wed the brave, whom she should choose after each pleaded his cause, on the verge of a precipice which looked down hundTds of feet upon' a valley, through which a winding stream wended its way. Soon the whole plain was covered with wigwams of the suitors. Ther ewas Paw-Puk-Keewis, the graceful dancer; Chibi abas, the sweet musician, and many, many more, but Kwasind, the bravest and handsomest of them all, alone found favor in the sight of Osseo, the chief, and his daughter. First of all the suitors came Paw-Puk-Keewis, the envious, and whis pered in the ear of his Wenonah a falsehood: "Kwasind loved another maiden. In his far-off land there dwell? a fair woman, his deserted bride." Wenonah hid her anger under a of jealousy. When Paw-Puk-Keewis left her then came Kwasind. To his passionate entreaty, his eloquent plea, the princess haughtily replied: "Sooner would I see you die than choose you as my husband." "Then my life is of no value to me. See how, I love you." And, with loud cry, he leaped over the slender barrier of stones which bordered the precipice, and down he fell, on, on, hundreds of feet. Then the maiden, wildly penitent, shrieked: "0, Mudjekewis, thou the West Wind, bring my lover back to me! 0, Shanondasee, gentle South Wind, bear him up with your strong arm!" and the two mighty brothers, the winds, heard and, moved by her grief and beauty, blew him back to the spot where Wenonah had thrown her self face downward, sobbing and en treating the winds to hear her pray " And when the loving Kwasind lifted her and showered kisses on her lovely head she lay gently passive, her form supported by his arm, and softly, sweetly whispered, "My love, my lord, forgive me and I will follow thee forever, and to the ends of the earth."

Various Cause for This Affliction Anemia or Bloodlessnes Common Cause Common Very Pepto-Mangan Overcomes Anemia and Tends to Prevent Headaches 4U -A Use Aladdin J j "-a Security Oil 1 j 1 PERFECTION Oil Heaters When one has an occasional head ache it is usually due to some tran sient or passing cause, such as indi gestion, eye-strain, over-tiredness, etc. When, however, one suffers from frequent periodic headaches there is always some special reason fof it. Among the most common of such reasons is Anemia or Bloodlessness. This condition is especially frequent among girls and young women and those whose occupations or habits of life keep them too much indoors. The one important necessity in such cases is to build up the quantity and qual ity of the weak and watery blood. Gude's Pepto-Mangan is exceptional ly valuable for this purpose. It in creases the number and improves the quality of the red blood cells, those vital little bodies which carry nutri tion to all carts of the body. It im proves the appetite, imparts color to the face, and restores health and strengths the body generally. Af ter a short course, of Pepto-Mangan the headaches decrease in frequency and severity, and finally disappear, if they are due to Anemia. Pepto Mangan may be had either in liquid or tablet form, as preferred. When buying Pepto-Mangan be. sure the name. "Gude's" is on the package, Without "Gude's" it is not Pepto- Mangan.
