snake and blacksnake. The rattlesnake was
apparently on journey, and the meeting was
quite accidental. At first the rattlesnake
sought to avoid difficulty, but when the
blacksnake pressed the matter he halt

The blacksnake gl;ded around in swift cir.
cles; the rattlesnake never changed its posi-.
ton. But the circle still diminished its
size, and as the blacksnake drew close the rat
tlesnake appearedto grow confused. His rat
ties ceased to give out the sAarp sound, and
his head dropped as if vertigo was seizing him.
The blacksnake, seized by lightning move
ment. the RATHER by the throat, and, winding
him up in folds the two rolled over and over
together. and in a few moments the rattle
snake ceased to breathe. An examination of
the dead body of the rattlesnake revealed a
fracture in the spine as complet tie as if done by
a blow with club. The rattlesnake meas
