The rattlers, by the way, seemed to
be aware Of the presence Of their neigh
Dor aud showed some agitation, espe-
Clally in the region OF the tail. They
seemed more alarmed than irritated,
however. / suppose they we're awed by
the superior genius OF the Queenly In
dian. But 70 IS part OF my plan 70 see
how they will behave TO one another, so
this morning I opened the door In the
partition. The rattlers, instead OF coil
Ing themselves In position, skunk about
90 full length and got under the blank
cts. The cobra sat quiet for a time, as
~ she were content plating the situation,
but az last, with a slow and graceful
movement and head erect, she slid
through the opening and into the other
cage. She was Ike a queen among her
subjects, and her subjects never so much
as ratified. She finally made herself
comfortable in their blankets, and it did
not seem % occur 20 them 20 retaliate
by making free with hers.
am never tired Of watching these
mysterious animals. The power Of In

mediate upon. Ii gives dignity TO its

not derived from the Imagination OF
the observer. No animal has finer
Manners more awful cOmposure-

OF their grandeur and serenity. There

A Giant Ray Fish.

Pensacola (Fla.) fishermen are sgi-
tated about an enormous "rale," or
"eagle ray that has just been taken
on the bar near there. Few OF these
fish are ever caught. as they are much
dreaded by the men Of ths sea. They
are sometimes enormously called 8
devil fish, and also blanket fish, aud
have been known to destroy human
life. They feed on shell-hsh, which
they draWin By means OF the large
eephalic FMS which protrude from the
corners Of the huge mouth. The teeth
OF this fish, which were not visible
from the outside. are very large and
powerful, being used for grinding It's
food. There Is greatdanger Ia sttemp-

CHAPTER 7.

The cobra arrived yesterday June p.
had previously had q cage made for
her adjoining that occupied by the rat
tlesnakes. Both cages have slate bot
toms, hard wood sides and are glazed In
front with plate glass, which can be
lifted on grooves like a window when
necessary. The partition between the
cages is pierced by small door, which
can be opened or closed by a cord from
the outside. The whole affair is fixed
40 the side OF the room opposite the
north window and has, 70 my thinking
at least, quite a fine appearance.
My new guest was rather restless at
first and kept rearing up against the
glass and exploring every corner OF her
habitation. Toward evening she quiet
ed down and swallowed some food that

shin that promises we'll for the future.

INOrE.-I have taken such liberties with

effect Of the tale was much enhanced by
the fact that the teller was not only him
self one Of the characters In IL, out did not
know at the time be was telling II what
the next day or hour might bring forth.
He is quite as much In suspense as the
reader can be, and thus a sympathy and
confidence on the readers part are estao-
lished which could not otherwise be at
tanned. Deliberately planned artistic sur
prises are lost, Dut the compromising ad-
vantages are ample An earthquake, a
