CHAPTER XXI.
THE SERPENT SHOWS ITS HEAD AGAIN

THE SERPENT SHOWS ITS HEAD AGAIN.
 A long time John remained there on the prairie trying to decide what step to take next. At first he was inclined to go back and find the man who had bought the property, and try to in duce him to annul the sale; but he realized that such a step would be use less, since it was not probable that the man would consent to the proposition, even if he could be found, which was not likely. Then he could not consent to surrender the money.
 So he put that idea away, and de- cided to go on home. On the morrow he would go to Mills and tell him of the sale and pay him a portion of the money. This seemed like fair way of proceeding, and John had no doubt that it would be all right with Mills. Hav- ing come to this conclusion, he felt re- lieved, and continued his way with less misgivings.
 The next morning John prepared to return to town to carry out his plan, and was about to set out from home when he saw two men approaching. He soon recognized them as Mills and Pearson, and with feeling of fear and dread awaited their arrival.
 MT. Green," said Mills, after tho usual salutations, q came out to see you on little matter of business. I am informed on reliable authority that you sold your wagon and horses yester- day. Is such the case?"
 Ut is," said John, land was just starting to your office to inform you of the fact, and make it all right with you"
 Mills smiled rather incredulously at this statement, and John winced under the expression of the money-lender's sinister eyes.
 "Such may possibly have been your intentions, MT. Green," Mills replied doubtingly. q do not pretend to know what is in your mind. But the fact that you disposed of the property right at ny office without saying a word to me about it is rather dan>aging, to say the least. It seems to me that you coulo as easily have come to me then, as to have come home and gone back this morning. The affair looks & little suspicious, sure."
 "You don't mean to imply" cried

he had overtaXed his strength in caring for his sick wife. He had gone on short dict, had lost sleep night after night. He was pale, haggard and aged. He was sick in body as well as soul.
 "Was your business with MT. Scraggs very particular?" the clerk asked, when John recovered himself a little.
 ''Yes," said John, ''it is matter of great importance to me-" And he stated the object of his visit and told some thing of the necessity that forced him to seek the loan.
 II wish you had come before MT. Scraggs left," the clerk replied, ''for am sure he would have given you the assistance you want. But it is too late now. He has no money here that can handle or I would take the liberty Of making the advance. If you can get along for few days, however, am certain you can count on him for the favor when he returns.'
 ''If I can do no better I shall have to wait" John replied, as he left the of fee, "but God only knows how we are to keep the breath of life in us unless we have food"
 John returned to his team to go home, but the thought of going back with no money or provisions was a great disappointment to him, and he could hardly make up his mind to it. He sat down by his wagon and gazed vacantly across the street at the display of goods in front of a grocery store.
 "Thcre is plenty over there," he thought, ito keep off suffering, yet for the want of few dollars I must go hungry while my wife dies of want. cannot go back to my home empty handed and sit down there to wait for starvation. There is food in the land and l must have 1t. God forgive me, but if can steal some food I'll do 1t. "

Brazil's Domestic Pet.

Rats have multiplied to such a degree
in Brazil that the inhabitants rear a cer-
tain kind of snake for destroying them.
The Brazilian domestic servant IS the
giboia, q small species of boa about
twelve feet in length and of the diameter
of a mans arm. 1t is sold at from III
to 81. SO in the markets of Rio Janeiro,
Pernambuco, Bahia, etc. This snake,
which is entirely harmless and sluggish
in it's movements, passes the entire day
asleep at the foot Of the staircase OF the
house, scarcely deigning to raise its head
at the approach of a visitor or when a
strange noise is heard in the vestibule.
At nightfaIl the glboia begins to hunt.

penetrating the space above the ceiling
and beneath the flooring. springIng
swiftly forward, it selze the rat by the

AS serpents rarely eat, even when at lib

ure of killing. Il becomes 50 accustomed

distance it escapes and finds its way back
home. Every house in the warmest

he wishes to sell or let his house.-NsD

BLOODY NILE.

S. w. Ware, OF Joplin, wants to know
why his cow gives bloody milk, which
comes sometimes from one teas and
sometimes from all of them, though the
one teat is always worse than the others.
It is the last of the milking that is
bloody, the first being only slightly col
ored. From this description, replies G.
WI. Murtfeldt, the cows udder has prob
ably received some local hurt. The
driver or someone may have cast q stone
or 8 stick without intent to hurt the
COW, but unfortunately he or she did
affict the animal and make a bruise. II
she still gives bloody milk, make a care
full examination for the seat of the
trouble, and if folnd heal it up. If a
wound, wash it clean and use hogs lard.
That another teat may also be affected
may come from the proximity Of the
trouble Or from sympathy, much as fla
man has q SORE eye the other eye may
also become sore. II the cow continues
to give bloody nailk. and from more than
one teaf, she had better be dried up,
fattened and sold for beef. OF course,
all such milk is unfit for use AMI may
cause blood poisoning in those who par
take thereof. Its best to be on the safe
side. Sickness and doctors bills may
come to many times the value OF the
milk or Cows. Louis Rspa5ln.
