LEGEND OF LOVERS LEAP.
The Indian Romance which Delights
Many Tourists.

The Indian Romance which Delights
Many Tourists.
With its rough precipitous sides. bare
except for MOSES and a few stunted pines,
that have taken root in the scanty soil
that passing ages have lodged in its
ereviees, High Head, or Hipton Rock,
lifts its hundred feet above the waters of
the Penobseot river. To the tourist in
search of the picturesque and beautiful,
and other travellers, the following legend
| Is related:
Years ago, when both banks OF the
river were thickly wooded and the In
dams were the only inha bitants, the most
powerful tribe were the Penobseois They
| were ably ruled by their old chief, War
saw. His only child, daughter, Elinee,
or s'the beautiful one', was the fairest girl
OF the tribe. Many were her suitors among
| the young braves, but to all she said nay.
One day after severe southeast storm,
| she found unconscious on the shore q
young chief of the Passamaquoddy tribe
Though this tribe was at war with her
| own, she could not give up a wounded
prisoner to death by torture. She re-
stored him 10 consciousness, and led him
to secret cave, bringing him food every
day. The grace and beauty OF Elinee and
the manliness OF the young chief were
mutually attractive.
| One of the young Penobscot braves,
jealous of her frequent absences, followed
her and reached the cave in time to hear
their plans to leave the following evening.
she to go with him to his people and in
accordance with their rites be married
| He fastened 10 Warsaw with the news.
and plans were laid for the capture OF the
lovers.
The evening came with a full moon
bathing the earth with light, and the
river shone like molten silver. The lovers
met beneath giant oak whose mighty
branches cast q deep shade. They
started for the shore, where Elinee had
concealed canoe. Suddenly they heard
a noise on the right, and thinking ii some
wild animal they turned to the left, but
the same sound met their ears, and on
looking behind they saw they were fol-
lowed by armed warriors. Their only re-
course was in flight, in direction OF High
Head. They reached it in advance of
their pursuers. To yield would be TO suf-
fer death by all the torture an Indian can
infiict upon his enemy, and elasping the
girl in his arms and uttering the death cry
of his tribe, they leaped from the rocks
and the water closed over them at its base.
The bodies of the hapless lovers were
never recovered. Warsaw, broken hearted
over the loss of his child, only lived few
moons, and went to the happy hunting
ground.
Time and advancing civilization have
levelled the forest, fertile farms, cities and
towns smile where once tue Indian reigned
supreme. The giant oak still stands, but
of the once powerful Penobscot tribe only
q few remain. Their council fires have
gone out, their springs have dried up,
their arrows are in the dust. Still the
Penobscot rolls to the ocean, still Is the
story OF the hapless lovers told.
