 His cries for the white man's blood were heard and answered, and many spears fisshed tn the sxnlisht as h,s ap- peals.
 But oae old chief rsaurnsd from the pow-wow sad and disheasssued. Lieht- ming Eyes, the chiefs dsughtes, vas bs. loved by Wagulls as n she had hsea his own child. N
 He knew that one of the peleiaces, q young scout, who, mere boy, had come west in the days of Kit Carson, loved and was beloved by the Indian maiden. He 1 knew that Blazing Star had corss:esed . speciar hatred for the young scout. Hence he resolved to warn the young, girl. His warning came none too soon, but when the maiden started for the settlement to warn her lover she was be- sea by hiehwaymen, and after thousan
 perils escaped to hnd the settlement
 burned and her lover prisoner in the hands of heE fatAes. She sooe knew the worst.
 On the cras above Glen Piym vas the body Of her lover, who had been laid there to die of starvation and exposure. She attempted to scale the psrilous rock, but dipped and feli into the canou b. meath, . corpse.

But his aid cams te-s late the young Ucout had bseashsd his last.
 Since that time 1t is said that in the
 dead of night cries are heard a of the old Indian chief bswailing the loss of his
 daughter, asd ether and bebies cries as
 of aa Indian maiden weeping fos her
 lover. So runs this legend, hardly old
 enough to bs called %, for ths old pio-
 neers are % near to the Colosadoass of to-day that it is no, at all ualilrsly that
 the legend had some foundation in tho
 love of young man named Walses tor
 an Indian chiefs daughter. A fos the ghost story, it is not out of place in the romantic scenery of the glen and the grandeur of the cliff.
