coming ghost. 1t seemed to him ale
that her bright eyes were slightly
Swallowed by a gentle thoughtfulness-
He moved close to her side with an ir-
resistible impulse of tenderness, but she
turned suddenly, and saying: Gomez

side path. CORTLAND followed. He
had not gone far before he noticed that
the graves seemed to fall into regular
lines; the emblems became cheaper and
more common; wooden head and foot
stones OF one monotonous pattern took
the place of carved freestones or mar
bic, and he knew that they had reached
the part or the cemetery reserved for
those who had fallen in the war The
long lines drawn with military pre-
cision stretched through the little valley
and again up the opposite hill in an
odd semblance of hollow squares, ranks
and columns. A vague recollection of
the fateful slope Of Snake river came
over him. 1t was intensified as Miss
Sally, who was still preceding him, sud
denly stopped before an isolated mound
bearing n broken marble shaft and a
pedestal with the inscriptions: Chester
Brooks" A few withered garlands
and immortcllcs were lying at it's base,
but cncircling the broken shaft was q
perfectly fresh, unfaded wreath.

SAVED RY A sLIPKNOr.
It Was Thrown Over q serpent's Head
just in Time.


The traveller in the uncivilized regions
of South America has. to face many
perils. If he escapes the savages, who
are adroit and bitter enemies; if he can
secure water and food, and survive the
intense heat, and believes his expedi-
ton has every chance of success, he
may die within an hour from the bite
of a poisonous serpent, says Youths
Companion.
NJ. Thouar, in his diary, kept during
his explorations in the Pilcomayo delts
under commission from the Argentine
government, describes an experience
which prompted him to eternal vigil
lance in regard to snakes.
He was lying in his hammock; the
sergeant of his guard was asleep under
a tree close by. Suddenly he noticed
an immense serpent coiled about the
sergeants leg and extending its head
toward his bare chest.
What should he do? To wake thu
man meant certain death to him; but
how to kill the creature or attract it
away without waking him? He re-
called method of capturing the cobra
in India.
He prepared n slipl1not. BY stealthy,
almost imperceptible movements he at
tracted the scrpent's attention. 1t
turned its head. Then he leaned from
his hammock and with long piece of
grass ticlllcd it gently on the throat
1t raised its head. He cast the moose
over it and drew it tight around the
serpcnt's neck.
1t was not moment too soon. The
sergeant awol1e. He tainted with
fright, but the danger was past. The
slipllnot had saved him and a stroke of
the sd Der cut off the serpent's head.

mandamus to compel the Excise Com mission
ers to transfer his liquor license from the
northeast corner OF Bremen avenue and Or

the Legislature the courts had lost by repeal
the power to review the Boards action in
