Visit Rock park between Ottawa salle, Il, and will be rocky projection “from linl warrior and his sw to death in the river, liver into their enemies” Visit Jowa, and they will tell you that Ce- dar rock, near Quasqueton, is called “Lovers’ Leap” where “the In. dian lovers, Wapsie and Pinicon, from whom the Wapsipinicon got its name, are supposed to have plunged to their deaths In the swirling waters of the river.” And out In Oakdale, Calif. they will sell you a post ecard picture of “Lover's Leap on the road between Oakdale and Knights Ferry where a mythical Indian maiden committed sui- cide by leaping into the river.” While nearly every township or county can boast of at least one Lov- ers’ Leap, Mackinac island in northern Michigan has the distinction of having two places where love's young dream found a tragic ending. The guide hooks will tell you of “Lover's Leap—This lone pinnacle rises to a height of 145 feet above the waters of Lake Michi gan about a mile west of the main part of the city. The legend which gives it its name ig that in the long ago the beautiful Lotah, an Indian maiden of the Oibway tribe and only daughter of a famous chief named Wawanosh, watched from this height the depart. ure of her lover, named Geniwegwon, with a war expedition across the wa- ter; and to the rock she came day after day to await his coming. At last, the party returning without him, brought word of his death and the distracted maiden not caring for life any longer leaped from this cliff: the lifeless body was found by her father at the foot of the precipice the eve. ning after.” Then there Is Robertson's Folly, where "“'Tis told that a young and beautiful Indian girl was wooed and won by this dashing young Lieutenant Robertson, but the poor maiden soon learned that he was to depart for the East at an early date to marry a white girl. He granted her a last farewell megting at this their trysting place, tid in a desperate struggle she sue. ded in precipitating him and her. f over the cliff.” But if you want the story of a Lov- ers’ Leap with a wealth of detall, go to Linn Creek, Mo., where there has been KRanded down from ploneer days this tale of Lovers’ Leap above the clear waters of the Niangua river be fore it flows into the murky Osage: “A century ago the mighty Osage and Shawnee tribes dwelt along these streams.

But none the less, Laughing Water had a mind of her own, as daughters of a tribal chieftain should have, and she encouraged the ghots from the love arrow of the Osage warrior. “Day by day the young couple roamed the forest or floated on the silvery waters of the Niangua, Laugh- ing Water sang like birds in tree tops, or laughed till the forest rang with melody as her lover related his sto ries of wonderful adventure, Then as now, lovers it would seem were prone to spread a glamour around their past, “The Osage warrior came to friendly terms with the Shawnee braves, us their bitter jealousies vanished before evidences of his skill ag a fisherman and hunter and prowess as a warrior, They took him into thelr council, but old Grey Eagle would not mix medi. cine potions that would enable him to become a son-in-law, “Courtship of this pair lasted during the summer, and every means of win- ning the father's consent proved un- availing. Laughing Water was urged to flee the tribal domain and become one of the Osage people, But her Shawnee blood would not permit, so the young couple decided since they could not live together they would die together, Thus united in the land of the great silence their love would be unhindered by the wishes of a medi cine chief, “Face to face and hand to hand the Indian lovers plighted their everlast- ing troth, sought a high blu on the river beneath which the waters formed a great swirling eddy, cast themselves far into the channel and no trace of them was ever discovered” A similar detailed account of an- other Lover's Leap, which bears the more prosaic name of Jump mountain, was told In a recent Issue of the Lexington (Va) Gazette, prefaced with this editor's note: “The follow. ing article has been contributed by a friend who is satisfied that the ae count Is historical :* skin shirt and leggings, encased young wild “At an distance of ahout three miles from the Baths, and easy of access, is the Jump, one of the mountains that form the Goshen pass, gradually rising i at the dist of n from making ance the the bottom below of two wt, and presents a view as as interesting, *The valleys of the Baths and Walk. mee the favorite tribe one ox creek were ‘ ng ground of the Cherokee a hunt on le out on yt the Cherokees ventured In as the little Calf casion, what Is now known Pasture, to whic! h their neighbors, the Shawnees across the mountain, claimed an exclusive privilege.
