He put out the left eye of every one of them! You can just imagine how everybody feared and hated him. So when he began to grow old and lose his strength his slaves slipped away and left him, bis wives “had been treated so badly that they died early, his children went off and made homes of their own, and Chief Salmon, the great and ter rible, became Old Salmon, the greasy beggar, He lived in a dirty Uttle hut and had nothing to eat except what was left from our ta- bie. “Mother felt sorry for him be cause he was #0 lonely and hated and she always gave him food, but we didn’t like to have him in the house, “One day Jack and I were out playing and we passed Old Sal- mon's hut.
