his fthe man's) wife to him. The witness
said. further, he would rather serve term
in the peniteniary than TO 90 through
arain what he and his wife had expert
enced on the island. He also presented a
letter from Treasury Agent Jingle, which
he regarded as q piece Of blackmail, in
tended TO discount his public statements:
In conclusion, he admitted that he did
not know OF any case OF criminal assault
ON the native women by agents oil the
Alaska Company.
Mr. George Wardman. who was a spe.
cial agent al the Island OF st. George from
1851 10 1884, was then called. lie never
knew woman or girl upon the island to
be outraged or a man or boy to be abused
by any OF the agents OF the company, nor
did he ever know a native woman living
in the company's house with one OF the
employees. lie never saw anything when
wonld lead him to believe that the COM
pany's house was converted into house
OF ill.fame.
MIR r. +. Ryan, another special agent
Of The Government at the Seal Island OF st.
George from April, 1885, to 1887, was next
called. Mr. Ryan attributed the lack OF
discipline and the loose morals on the
Island of st. George partly to the improper
conduct and neglect OF duty OF some OF tho
Government agents, which was in turn
initiated by the agents OF the company.
The chief trouble with the company's en-
ployes was that they assumed too much
authority, and seemed TO have the impress,
sion that the company owned the island
and the sea besides. Witness formulated
rules forbidding females on the island
from visiting the company's aud the COY
ernment's houses, but Mr. Jingle, his
superior officer, had declared such rule
null. II was impossible to imagine what
influenced him 10 do this, as the order
was issued in the interests Of law and de-
cency.

baby, smiling. reaching out her little

''Sit still, baby, and will pull you
along" said Bud as he swan around the
skif to the bow and took the rope dang
ling there between his teeth. The near
est bank was the one where his pursuers
were standing watching him.
With ell q powerful swimmers skill he
struck out. The attempt was manfully
made, but it was in vain. Bud saw it,
and gave over the struggle.
He climbed into the skif as quickly as
he could without upsetting it. They were
close to the raft" and but short dis
lance from the shore. One moment Bud
looked around. then q new hope flashed
into his mind. He pulled in the rope yet
dangling over the bow of the skiff and
fastened it around his waist; then he
braced his feet and stood ready.
The little boat swept onward swifter
and swifter. Right In its course, on the
upper edge of the raft, was large tree
with huge naked branches above water.
The skif was close to it. The right mo.
ment had come. and Bud made leap and
swung himself safely on top of the near.
est limb. The skif plunged hither and
thither from side to side, but it was rid.
ing safe, held fast by the rope secured to
the tree.
The men on shore had watched the
whole proceeding. and now rode down
along the river till they were nearly oppo.

They took in the situation, and at once

server from their perilous position.
They hastily tied their lariats together
and fastened piece of wood to one end;
then they coiled the ropes carefully. A
large, sinewy man picked UP the end to
which the piece of wood was fastened, and
with great strength swung it around his
head and cast it far out into the river.
The piece Of wood foated down toward
the skif. Bud was ready, and as it came
near he caught 1t and fastened it carefully
to the stem Of the boat. The men on
shore pulled it tight and made motions
that they were ready.
Bud stopped down over the little girl,
who was now crouching low in the bot.
tom of the boat, and kissed her tenderly,
telling her to lie down and not to move
until she was given permission. When
the child had obeyed, with a trusting
smile, Bud cut the rope that held the
skiff to the tree and with a lusty shout
the men on the shore pulled in on the
lariats.
The skiff was clear of the raft and was
nearing the bank rapidly. entirely out of
danger. when Bud, with a wave Of his
hand to those on the bank, leaped over,
board and was swallowed up by the angry
food in a moment.
Several times his head was seen over
the madly rushing water on the left. The
last time it was far down and close to the
opposite bank.
Buds horse. seeing his masters leap,
ran down along the bank Of the river and
