STORY OF INDIAN MAIDEN.
Legend of Beautiful Wahema, Who
Was Killed by Her Lover.

From the Baltimore American.
Across the Pocomoke river from Snow
Hill in Maryland lies Indiantown, and a sale
of land in that village recently has brought
to light a legend and superstition which
has been handed down from generation to
generation of the jewellers in the neighbor-
hood. Where the road leading from Snow
Hill to Salisbury is Joined by another which
leads up into the depths Of pine woods
stands what would seem to a casual observ-
er only an ordinary brush heap. Between the
piles Of branches and twigs, however, is a
small mound, and beneath the mound lie the
whitened bones of the Indian maiden Wa
hema, who died by the hands of her lover.
Waspasson, son of Waspasson, the great
hunter of the tribe of which Weatomotonies
was queen-the Weatomotonfes who owned
vast tracts Of land from the Indian river
southwark and the Pocomoke westward.
The suitors for the hand of Wahema, 1t
Is said. were many. and Waspasson, the
son of Waspasson, the friend Of Weatom-
otonies. was the one to whom the heart of
Wahema had gone forth. but, as has been
the way Of maidens both before and since
the. day Of Wahema. lin public her face
was averted and In anger she named his
name" One day a. she stood In the twi-
light an arrow from an unseen bow pierced
her heart. Failing. she Strapped . twig,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1902-10-01

which broke in her hand. With the
strength that sometimes comes to the dying
she pulled the arrow from the wound and
the twig fell across it. Thus she was
found. They buried her where she fell, and
the twig that was across the wound was
placed over the mound, and one by one the
young men and maidens of the tribe broke
twig and threw 1t on the heap. The Gus
tom was kept up by several generations Of
Indians until 1t became a superstition that to
omit the simple ceremony in passing meant
q failure in whatever might next be at
tempted, while faithful attention augured
success. The legend and the superstition
were handed down to the white settlers, and
their descendants to this day, and thereby
Indian Heap has been perpetuated. That
1t is not likely to go down is attested by
the fact that in the record of Worcester
county 1t Is named as one Of the bound
aries of a tract of land in Indiantown.

A SERIAL STORY.
1.-THE Mississippi Bubble" to Be Printed
In the Daily Star.

Beginning with its issue of
October IS The Star will print
as a serial in daily installments
Mr.. Emerson Hough's notable
novel, "The Mississippi Bub-
ble."
According to The Book
man." an accepted authority in
such matters, The Mississippi
Bubble" became the best selling
book on the American market
within two months of its publ
cation. Since that time it has
more than sustained the high
favor with which it was then re-
ceived.
The book has its chief interest
in the career of John Law Of
Lauriston, under whose touch
the whole financial system Of
France in the days following the
death of Louis XIV was di-
rected toward the new Missis-
sippi colony in America and in
volved in it. That epoch in
French history is one of the
most picturesque in the story of
all Europe. But "The Missis-
sippi Bubble" comprehends also
pictures of contemporaneous
life in London and the Canadian
forests. Law was in history a
most attractive and absorbing
figure. Mr.. Hough has given
him a personality which intensi-
fes this historical interest.
"The Mississippi Bubble" thus
comprises a view of three inter-
esting nations at most impor-
tant stages of their development,
the career of an, extraordinary
and spectacular historical figure,
and a love story of rare charm
and dramatic force,
