that WAS just coming out OF the grass into the

make his snakcshp very wroth, and he mnIe-
diatcly sounded the battle alarm hy rafting
his gong The girl well knew the sound, and
turned to ascertain the location of her w " foe,
which she soon did, and, instead Of running:
screaming, or f;lintng, looked about for
something with which to defend herself She
could find nothing, nor had she long time to
look, for the snake, with eyes gIiscning,
rattlcs in notion mouth wide open, and his
tongue darting back and forth, was close upon
her But she was pluck to the back bone and
did not propose to surrender the field without
4 Iight!n fact. retreat was ont of the question
tor the snake was now within arm reach of
her--so, keeping her eye steadily on the snake 5
head she commenced the fight with her foot
moving it back aud forth, up and down, in
every direction, the snake following the motions
with his head to get Il chance to bite This
performance lasted but perhaps minute
hours to hcr--when, by quick movement,
she got the advantage. and down came the foot
and heavy shoe upon the snake head. where
she held him until he was dead. She then
found a stone and pounded off the ratlcs to
keep as 4 trophy. There were nineteen rattles
and Sic says it was the largest rattesnakc she
ever saw.
