HUNTING FOR HONEY.
The Many Adventures of Bright
Texas Girl

"A young girl in Western Texas for
many years has daily risked her life
IN the pursuit Of one of the most dan
gerous occupations ever devised by
human ingenuity to get wealth. The
word fear seems to convey no mean
ing in the mind of this remarkably at
tractive frontier heroine. 1t is a COM
mon remark, says writer in the
Chicago Tribune, that she has no
nerves, but it is more probable that
she has schooled herself by careful
training to disregard the particular
character of danger that she faces
every day,
She is Agnes Say, and she is the only
daughter of an old pioneer Indian
fighter known from San Antonio to the
deserts of Arizona as Old Sweetkiller,
from the fact that he always was look
ing out for bee trees and bee caves,
and it was seldom that he was found
without a cup of honey or a piece Of
honeycomb in his shot pouch. He

never experienced a fall or been seri-
ously hurt, though she has more than
once been in great danger Of losing her
life. Upon one occasion, while sus-
pended in the air over 800 feet above
the earth. she suddenly felt the rope
that supported her give little. and up
on looking up she was Mortified to OBJ
serve that projecting ledge had al
ready cut one strand. She was barely
able 10 reach a little ledge with the
toes of one foot. and by casting as
much weight as possible upon these
toes she was able to relieve the strain
on the rope. Realizing that the least
trepidation on the part of her brothers
would result in hurting her Il earth.
with great presence of mind she cut
the bucket loose and quickly fastened
the stout rope that had been attached
70 it about her own body. she then
called to her brothers. and after warn
ing them to hold the bucket rope firm.
she told them that il was tied about
her own body. They suspected that
something had happened. and. obeying
her directions implicitly. she was safe
~ rescued.
The most perilous situation that she
ever encountered occurred about a
year ago. She was in a locality that
she had never visited before. and. while
suspended in the air in one Of the
gloomiest canyons of the Hondas.
some 500 feet above the water. she
was suddenly alarmed by a kissing
noise. and, upon looking around. she
saw two enormous eagles perched on a
ledge only a few feet away. She sig
nailed to be drawn up. but the big birds
did not allow her to escape. Both flew
at her face, shrieking like fiends. Il

was a fearless ranger and q good trail
er, but his comrades frequently init
mated that the buzz of a bee was liza
bic to throw him off his guard 1t was
always conceded that Old Sweetkiller
was the most expert bee hunter in the
state, and on account of the invariable
success that attended his expeditions
in search of honey his services as a
ranger We're highly appreciated. When
ever provisions became scarce Sweet
killer could always find a bee tree or a
little crevice in some bluff where the
harbingers of civilization were storing
their food a company of Indian fight
ers considered themselves we'll supplied
where there was plenty of honey ana
venison in camp.
Sweetkiller achieved great notOriety
and much praise while serving as a
ranger and bee hunter under such
famous old veterans as Bigfoot Wal
lace. Jack Hays and Rip Ford. After
the Indians had been driven out of the
country he settled in the Guadaloupe
Mountains, and. knowing no other way
to support his family, he devoted his
whole time to his favorite pursuit.
There was always an abundance OF
honey in Sweetkller's cabin. and his
few neighbors We're ever well supplied
with the same delicious article of food.
The old Texan raised two sons and
one daughter. These boys soon be
came as expert in their inherited call
ing as their father, and as they grew
older they became vent7lrcsome. Few
bee caves in the lofty cliffs were be
yond their reach. If they could not
ascend the great natural walls by cut
ting notches in the rocks they would
soon find some other way to reach the
bee caves.
Their sister, Agnes. frequently ac-
companied the boys in their eXpedi-
tons in search of honey. and as she
grew older she developed a taste for
mountain climbing which led her to
perform many feats that astounded
the boldest mountaineers She was
much lighter in weight than her
brother, and soon proved that she pos
sessed steadier nerves and decidedly
more activity then either of them.
Other advantages which We're early
developed in the young girls mind and
character led her to take a deeper in
terest in the peculiar vocation that
SWeetkliier mad apparently transmitted
to his children. She had learned to
read and write, and she had made the
discovery that money could be made
by gathering and shipping honey.
About four years ago this fearless
young girl beg an the business of gath
ering and shipping honey systematic
cally.

sense the family now owns a bee
