Of the brave and dusky lover and the
Indian maid Mahzoo?
How they lived and loved and wand.
cred on the rivers shady shore,
Happiest of Indian lovers in the days
that are no more?
All day long the maiden labored,
weaving baskets by the stream,
Thinking of her love, her Kahla,
weaving him into her dream,
Then as twilight came, descending
softly, family Ger the land,
Mahzoo watched and waited, eager for
the clasp Of his strong hand.
She would climb into an elm tree Ger
the water hanging low,
While the shadows ON the ripples
danced and played and wavered
slow,
Soon he comes-she hears the rowing
of his light birch-bark canoe,
"Kahlaw calls she; cries he, Coming,
coming to my own Mahzoow
All! n night she waits In silence: sad
her face-her love is dead.
Wounded. in the chase, her warrior in
q fortnight to be wed.
In the morn they find sweet Mahzoo
lying silent in the stream,
Gone unto her lover Kahla, nevermore
to watch and dream.
Still the echoes DER the river may be
heard soft thro' the air,
Of the warrior Kahla and Of
young Mahzoo the fir.
All the trees repeat the whisper, all the
ripples murmur, too,

WEALTH IN OLD TRUNK
Kick Would Have Shattered the Hiding
Place Of a Large Fortune In
Notes.

GREENsBuRa, Pa. Aug. %. "A di-
lapidated trunk in the home OF the
late Sabina Beers, 10 miles west OF
Greensburg, has given up treasure
that burglars on several occasions have
tried to obtain. Yesterday afternoon
Wade T. Kline, son OF Attorney s. A..
Kline, and Kirk Mcconnell, son OF
Judge A. ID. Mcconnell, found gold,
silver and bank notes to the amount
of SIS, 600. The two boys had been
sent by Mr. Kline, who was appointed
executor the estate OF the dead
woman, TO bring to Greensburg a few
hundred dollars that were supposed to
be secreted In her hame. Within five
minutes after their search had begun
the treasure was revealed to them Ia
a trunk that a sturdy kick would
have shattered.
Sabina Beers died on Saturday.
Her will was written by Mr.. Kline,
and yesterday he began the adjust
ment OF the estate. Joseph Kelly,
who had defended her on several occa-
sions against masked robbers, gets the
greater part Of the estate. He gets
the farm and one third OF the treasure.
Miss Beers was about rs years old,
and was regarded as eccentric by many
OF her neighbors. She led secluded
life, and various stories have been
TOLD of her fabulous wealth. These
reports were not believed by her rela-
tives. She owned farm OF 14l acres,
one Of the best In Westmoreland
county. Her immediate relatives are
cut off with requests OF 81.
