Article V. 1 The Legend of Cateechee or isa. queena. (Note: A review of the colonial history of our section and the rela. tions with .the Cherokees would hardly be complete wfthout a sketch of our most beautiful and interest ing Indian legend. The reader will easily recognize the many local,. place-names connected with the story. Stumphouse Mountain and Isaqueena Falls near Walhalla pre serve the traditon of the leap of the Indian girl. The story is most probably only a tradition, but it has Been handed down in the Keowee section from the earliest settle; I refer the readers to Dr. J. W. 'Daniel's little book, "Cateechee of Keowee," for a more complete account of the leg end.) The sun was setting behind the western mountains, painting upon the 'fleecy clouds magnificent pie tures in colors far more beautiful than ever graced a monarch's robe or a paint r's canvas. Faintly, in countleas numbers, the stars were be ginning to appeal' where the gliding clouds uncovered the -open sky. Co inl elatee. the mocking-bird, singing his evening song, east a spl'l upon the listener by the beauty of his Ielodice anid thrills. With a sad and murmnring ripple, Keoweie flow ed oawamd toward the land of the pale-face. From the katy-dids, crick et and frogs came a monotonous yet none the less entrancing chorus. To the west lay the azure wall of the Blue Ridge, though near at hand on every sid( small mountains rose above the surrounding country. Thus lay the Indian capital, Keowee, on 1 a summer ev ning of the early eigh teenth century. But the town itself, on that. even ing, was not characterized by such a charming silence as was the vale of j Keowee. All was bustle and excite meut. Every lodge was filled with occupants, for all the braves of the nation were assembled there. Ka. ruga, the cold-hearted, had summon. ed a council of chiefs to plan a cam - paign against the whites. In thc lodge of Karuga, near the center of the village, the council was assem 3 bled. In a circle around the grea 3! Karuga sat the grim warriors. Ther at his right squatted Yohoma, th chief of Oolenoi, from whose bel hung many scalps of vanquishes braves. At his left was Attatullh the famed chief of Occony. Als there sat in grim silence and wit magnificent bearing famous brave from Eastatoe, from Toxaway, fror Noewee, from Socony and even th chiefs of mountainous Chote and c far-off Enoree.

From all sides Imme diately came similar cries. The coun cil dispersed and the braves prepared to be off.., Meanwhile, from behind the lodge of. Karuga there glided a slender figure--,that of an Indan maiden. Patiently she had awaited the decis ion of the council. She had heard Fort Cambridge would be attacked at sunrise. At Fort Cambridge was a handsome young trader, who, while upon an expedition into the land of the Cherokees, had befriended her. He must be warned of .the plot. And who could tUo it? This question had already been, decided and the girl had in a short time reached her pony in a nearby thicket. Between Keo wee and Ft. Cambridge lay ninety six long milkes over a rough trail. And who was this maiden? She was a Choctaw slave girl taken by Karuga. Cateechee, they called her, Deer's Head, or in the Choctaw, Isa queena. Down th e rough trail the pony raced. 'I he cries of the braves in leowee LI'nt encouragement to the ti et animal. Ere the moon had rien, (ateeche was beyond the peak of Six Mile, laving the warriors far behind. On, on she rode until she reached the gurgling waters of Twelve .Mile. A flter a rest in the d'olk shadow.; of the willows, she wa:s on her way again. Before midnight she had left the streams known as Eighteen Mile Creek, Three and 'wenty and Six and 'Twenty far be hind her. But the cry of every night-bird s.emed to Cateechee the feigned ignal of a warrior of Karuga. The tremblini aspens seemed alive with lulinted forms. Behind every low bush lurked a brave of Karuga's fol lowing. But these fears only gave encouragement and quickened Ca teechee's desire to gain the walls of Fort Cambridge. Just before sunrise the peaceful atmosphere of the fort was disturbed by the arrival of the Indian girl, who rode direct to the cabin of Allen 1Francis. "The, warriors of Karuga are coming" were the only words she could speak, so exhausted was she after her long ride. The gates of the stockade were closed and prepa rations for a siege hurriedly made. t An hour later Karuga's warriors ar rived to find their plot frustrated, , After a few random shots they real. ized the hopelessness of attacking h the stronghold and withdrew to mak< s different plans against the whites. , Within the walls of old Fort Cam e bridge, just ninety-six miles fron f Keowee town, two loved ones wern united in marriage by the- old clergy - man. And in a cabin near the block a house dweolled the happy pair-Alla: e Francis and the brave Cateechee. -* * * * * * It was in the early autumn--In dian summer--the crops wvere rip< And up the vale of Keeowee woun a long column of braves, rejoicin in their recent success-for CE teechee and her husband had bee captured again.

"0 great Karug great chief of the Cherokees!" I sp~oke, "hear' my wvords. Let the ca tives be as our owvn people. Wou not a pale-face make a great wa rior? Let him go forth with us our hunts!

Yet he was not happy. He was always watched. A sudden thunderstorm had aris. en, such as are common to that re gion. All was excitement among the lodges of Keowee. From one -of the lodges ran Allan Francis, appar ently to aid in preparing for the coming rain, but really bent upon escape. Down the path toward the river he ran, where, with the women, Cateechee had been washing. These, terrified by the thunder, were run ning toward shelter, for one time re gardless of their charge. At a signal Cateechee stepped from the line of women into the dark forest. Northward they turn ed, after meeting and holding a short consultation. Until night they trav eled on and even far into the night. Keowee must be left behind. Finally, at daybreak the weary travellers found shelter--a huge tree, hollowed out by decay and twisted o1} some ten feet above the -round .by a previous tempest. Their "Stumphouse." they called it. Great was the anger amorig the 1ions when they discovered the pe of their prisoners. The medi ne men wildly bewailed the break of the sacred oath-Toeuhah. once. l)ati' wer (ispatcihed to the escaped ones. To the m iitains they would naturally has Sit was reasoned. Therefore, riaga himself led a division north or three days Allan Francis and 'u en lived in their "stump .iuse." It was on the morning of the fourth day. Allan had gone to the Tualoo, where he was construct m1 canoe for their journey down he river. Cateechee was gathering s, icks near the "stump-house" when siddenly she beheld the dark face of Sal one, Karuga's most famous war rior. peering at her through the bushes. Like a startled deer she stood firm a moment, then turned and fled. From the forest rang the Cherokee war-cry, "Echa-echa-herro, echa-her ro !" many times repeated as the war riors took up her pursuit. Nearer and nearer they approached her and the arrows whizzed by .thick and fast. To the creek Cateechee turned, to ward the great falls some distance below. Still closer drew Karuga's band. Cruel Salooe's fiendish yell lent aid to her flight. Suddenly at the top of a cataract, Isaqueena paused, .then disappeared frpm sight. The braves of Karuga drew near and sought in vain for the one they pursued. "A wizard of the Choctaws has hidden her," spoke one warrior. S"No; she is drowned," the others - agreed as they looked down on the - (lark, seething pool ninety feet be i low, above wvhich Cateechee wvas last seen. For a time they wvaited, then, convinced that she was indeed lost, - they departed to seek her husband. .At the place of wvhich we are I speaking the stream makes a great Sleap of ninety feet to a deep pool -below. B'ut, invisible and known ,tc a but fewv, a narrow ledge juts out L- some ten feet below the crest of the -cataract, affording a scant foothold behind the white veil of water. And e to .this Isaqueena had jumped with. n out a slip, which would have meani e death, and there had hidden until >r the warriors departed.

Together in their rude ca ir noe they floated dowvn the Tugaloo andl then dowvn the Savannah to ok is Hamburg, out of all danger of cap ! ture.
