C ON o Q 0 Wzmgygg. Cxlj-EA G Ueggiii f or A LEGEND OF THE CONOCOCHEAGUE HERE is a tinkling of little bells and a rattling of light silver bracelets. A slender, dark Indian girl stands on the banks of a bright stream. A cloud half covers the moon, but its pale light falls on her long, flowing tresses and reveals an angry light glowing in her black eyes. I-ler low voice rises softly in slow and deliberate accents above the ripple of the waters: The anger of Manito rest upon the pale-faces! Long have we watched these strange people sweep over the woods and valleys. Our hearts have burned with anger. The face of Manito has been hidden from us. We have been left in darkness. They have come nearer, nearer up to our very council-fires, they have drunk of the pure water of our stream. Now they have driven us away from the home of our ancestors, scattered us like broken herds of deer. Strange moccasins tread our woods. Pale-face girls play where once our fires burned. The Great Spirit has turned away from us. No longer do we have a homeg on and on we must wander like the hunted stag. Justice is master of the redskin. We will be avenged. The pale-faces must suffer. They have driven us away from the forests of our ancestors. They tear out our very hearts. No more shall we harken to the ripple of the waters. No more shall we lie by the banks of the Gonococheague, listening and learn- ing of the mysteries of life. The pale-face shall pay. The Great Spirit is just. I will implore his aid: lVIanitol hlanitol lVIanitol Thou art great, thou art good, thou art wise, lXfIanitol hflanitol Thou art justg lvlanitol lVIanitol Nlanitol I am weak, thou art strongg I am slow, Give me aid! The pale-face is- master of our beloved haunt, but he shall suffer for our suffering. ltlis daughter shall pay for our loss. Once she has come to learn of the mysteries of the world, study- Q ing from books what we read from the trees, the flowers, the waters of the Conococheague, she shall be bound by an inexorable spell. O Manito, help mel So tightly shall a cord be woven about her heart that never shall she be able to forget the blue sky or the silver water of the Conococheague. Wherever she may roam, never shall she be free from the power of its charm. Only by returning and lingering for a time in the place she has usurped from the Indian girl, shall she hnd perfect peace and content- ment. A redskin never ceases to remember. A pale-face shall never cease to remember. lVIy heart is of lead. My tongue is still. The great Manito reveals to me the future. The holy charm is beginning to be felt. Our day is over. The time of the redman has passed. I go up the long and endless trail. The voices of many pale-faces yet unborn Manito reveals to me, and the words they sing are not the words of my tribe. They are strange to me, but I realize that the charm has worked. Floating up from the canoes on the Gonococheague, I catch an echo and it is this: The Conococheague comes dancing VVhile she wears a silver crown, But when she comes to college, She assumes her azure gown, She lingers by the classic walks, And all the summer through She plays beneath the willows, Clad in silver and in bluel' Manito is good. ltle is just. lrle has avenged the Indian girl. The heart of the pale-face is bound hrmly to the home of the Indian. She can never escape. Always must she return. Manito is wise. Again he reveals to me, as I go up the narrow trail, the voices ofthe future, and l am satisfied. They are singing' VVe will be faithful ever To the Silver and the Blueg Yes, we will be faithful ever To the Silver and the Blue.' C227
