vfx CRYSTAL M Ebe 'iegeno of the Cherokee Kose Once upon a time a proud young chieftain of the Seminoles was taken prisoner by his -enemies, the Cherokees, and doomed to death by torture, but he fell so seriously ill that it became necessary to wait for his restoration to health before committing him to the flames. . As he was lying, prostrated by disease in the cabin of a Cherokee warrior, the daughter of the latter, a dark-eyed maiden, became his nurse. She rivalled in grace the bounding fawn, and the young warriors of her tribe said of her that the smile of the Great Spirit was not more beautiful.

At the midnight hour silently they escaped into the dim forest guided by the pale light of the silvery stars. Yet before they had gone far, impelled by soft regret at leaving her home forever, she asked her lover's permission to return for an instant that she might bear away some memento. So retracing her footsteps, she broke a sprig from the glossy-leafed vine which climbed upon her fatheris cabin, and preserving it at her breast during her flight through the wilderness, planted it at the door of' her home in the land of the Seminoles. Here its milk-white blossoms, with golden centers, often recalled her childhood days in the far-away mountains of Georgiag and from that time this beautiful flower has always been the emblem of Georgia.
