Kidnapped the
WRONG Person


"WeI +" resumed the man from Mis-
souri, Jhus encouraged, according to
the way they tell it up at S.tka, there
were two Eskimo villages somewhere
above the circle, but not very far apart,
and Tor some reason or other tliat
Doesn't figure in the tale, these two VIII
lagos were not Oh speaking terms with
each other IN fact, there was e sort
OF nm east Kentucky faud on between
them, and whenever q man from one
village met G man from The other there
was some kind OF trouble between
them / don't know whether il was
a battle with snuwballs or bubbcr-
eating contest, but anyhow it nearly
always endel fatally for somebody,
maybe an innocent bystander Well. in
one OF these Villages there was a beau
te0us maiden. Now gentlemen, Won
understand am simply repeating what
they told me up there, and they didn't
crack a smile when they said it. There
was a beauteous maiden in one, and III
the ether there was a young man who
COLD outrun outspear or lick any 9th
er man in that section of the ice box,
according 10 claims OF his feiIow-eiti-
zens, and, Of course, they set great
store by him. This here mighty man
of yalor was scootin around ono day,
when he happened TO meet the beaute-
Gus maiden aforesaid, who had mad
vertantly strayed from her parents
