THE STORY OF THE
COLUMBINE
TiiTANY, many years ago, when tho
AVI world was young, and the Chosen
People lived In happiness in the
shadow of the Great Peak which point-
ed the way to Heaven, therj was horn
to the Chief of the Tribe a daughter.
This daughter grew to womanhood,
and was much loved by nil the mem-
bers of the tribe, for she was the most
beautiful girl in all the world. Her
hair whs as black as the clouds of
night; her eyes as deep and as blue as
the sky. Her skin was white—and not
red like that of the Indians who knew
her. Iler voice was as soft as the
south wind and as sweet as the voice
of the birds that sang to her frqm the
trees. And from aH around, front near
and fur, came the warriors of the
tribes to woo her and claim her for
their wife.
Aa she gi?w older her fame spread,
and even distant tribesmen ceme to
look upon her and to love her. Her
father's lodge was filled, with precious
gifts which they brought—bows and
arrows, and skins and wampum and
beads snd war Jackets and all the
other precious .things which they poa-
sessed.
But the mnlden loved all the war-
riors alike, at^d none of them would
she tnnrry though they asked her
many times; until finally there came
to the tribe a Dakotah from the North,
and when he had wooed the maiden
for many moons, and she still refused
him, he became angry. One night lie
crept to the chief's lodge, where tho
maiden was sleeping, aTid stole the
maiden away and mounted on his
horse and rode into the East.
When the •tribesmen discovered
j what lmd happened, they mounted on
tlieir ponies iftid started in pursuit
and for many days and many nighls
they continued the chase, until at last
they came upon the warrior as he was
crossing the (Sreat Kiver to the east-
ward. When the warrior saw that lie
was captured, he drew his knife from
its ^licatli and plunged it into the
maiden's heart, and so she died. And
then the warrior himself fell upon the
knife.
So the tribesmen, with sorrow and
tears, carried the maiden home and
laid her down at the door to her fa-
ther's lodge, and the whole tribe wept
and would not be comforted. Finally
the Manitou, seeing their grief, n|>-
pea red to the fathers of the tribe and
to them he snid:
"(irieve not my children, that your
daughter is lost to you. For I am
your fnther and I will look over you,
and your daughter I will take with me
to live in the Happy Hunting Ground
where she can look down upon you
and see you and love you. And as a
token of my promise, I will leave with
you a sign—by which you will know
that the beautiful maiden is with me
forever."
As lie spoke he stooped to a stream
and drew a gourd of water and this
he sprinkled upon the dead body of
the maiden; and when the wnter fell,
there was a great cloud came down
upon the earth, nnd from the cloud
came two birds and these picked up
the body of the maiden and flew away
with It to the westward where was the
summit of the great penk where lived
the Manitou. And where the body had
lain, there sprang up three flowers,
nnd in their center they were blue as
the eyes of the maiden who had gone,
nnd ut their outer edges they were aa
white and benutlful as her skin.
And all about other flowers sprang
up, until the hills and the plains were
dotted with them, and so was the col-
umbine born. Now each Indinn knows
fliat the columbine Is the flower of
Mnnltou. telling hl promise to the In-
dians, and they know, too, that It
sprang from the spirit of the beautiful
maiden who was killed by the fierce
Dakotah.
