Many people are under the impress

A ray OF light darted through the
leaves and fell full upon Manueis face,
and at the same instant the riilecame
up.to the shoulder. The sleeper NOV
ed little as if about to wake, and for
an instant the snake was still; 1T was
that instant when the head. with the
tongue darling in and out with light

That second the rifle rang out and the
reptile fell forward, its coils resting on
the gardeners shoulders, neck and
tace. He rose up, seized the weight
that encountered him, and then with
II yell sprang clear over the foot ofthe
bed, out the door, onto the ground
and started screaming down the hill

Believing the man had received his
death wound, the captain cautiously
entered the room. But the green coils

dead, it's head crushed by the bullet.
