Once, twice and third time the savage
reptile struck at his face, and the last
time Mr.. O'Reilly thought that he felt q
drop of venom flung from the fangs to his
cheek But the snake couldn't reach any
further. Still, II was an alarming posi-
ton. If O'Reilly let gothic snake would
be upon him before he could get to his
feet. His position was not only painful
but very firing, and he felt that he could
not hold out long. The captive in his left
hand was wrthing and winding about his
arm, and. worst of all, Lasker had evi-
IDENTIFY missed his direction, as- to Judge
by the sounds. he was crashing through
the underbrush a considerable distance
away The hunter, now a captive him
self. shouted 10 him again and after wha'
seemed a long time the young man burst
through the bushes and ran TO the pros

cry Of terror. He had all but touched the
copperhead in the naturalist's left hand

The young man got the frst-caueht cop
perhead into the bag. after which he fiat
tened his gun barrel down over che other
SNAKES head Fearing, however. that
this would kill or injurc the snake, the
scientist told him to raise the gun At
this the reptile turned back on its own
length and made for the hand that held
It. Lucky It was for O'Reilly that II haa
not made this move before. Upon see
ing It's head coming up he let 20 his hold

From the Chicago Tine.

What are you going to catch 'em with?"
Here's our outfit" said Mr. o. Reilly,
exhibiting a long stick crooked at one
end. and a big hat 81 nail the copperhead
down by putting the stick across his neck

and then ] drop him into the bag, and
there you are"
We'll" said the old man, I'D hate to
issue an insurance policy on your life"
The snake hunter laughed and after
thanking Squire Hanyen for the informa-
don, walked on with his companion. To-
ward noon II came on very warm, and
the hunters going to Muddy bridge fell
IN with a young man named Lasher.
OReilly's friend went on about mile to
explore an open field while the snake
expert stayed to make some inquiries of
Lasher.
Il don't know how IT is when you're
hunting for them" said the young man,
but when you're looking for other
things there's more copperheads than
you want in this patch of woods to our
right Thick boots have saved me more
han once in here. If you're going in I'll
stay here in the road and watch for
snakes crossing over. But you want to
be mighty careful where you step"
This advice was shouted after the
scientist, who had already plunged into
the thicket, taking his long stick with
him Progress was slow. The explorer
was pretty tired when he had forced his
way through O. hundred yards of thicket
tangle, and the sight Of a little clearing
where a big tree had fallen, was very
welcome. II was not quite q clearing
either, for near the tree a thick netting
Of f1owery creepers had sprung up through
which only small patches of ground could

OReilly saw what appeared to be

him with interest. one Of the peculiarties
Of copperhead is that you can never tell

was TO fight. It struck the naturalist

so the copperhead was able to shoot out
its head beneath the stick fully six inches
beyond the coil, as if coming right to-
ward the hunter. Quickly taking ad-
vantage Of this by a jerk o Reilly trans
ferred the stick to new and better posi-
ton in which the head was now placed
The deXterous transfer was not. however,
quicker than the snake. for il bit the stick
in its passage. Nevertheless the stick
lay now on the snakes neck, and as
with his right hand and knee the hunter
held il there firmly he reached in with
his left hand and took his snakeship
round the throat with the top OF his
thumb beneath the under jaw sufficient
~ far down to escape the clasp of his
fangs, and vet not so low that the snake
could possibly turn its head TO bite him.
Having the prey now securely the hunter
drew it forth from the coil which had
never moved in the slightest But on
drawing out the snake what was O'Reil-
" horror TO discover that the coil was
not one snake, but two, and the second
and larger reptile now for the first time
showing his head, was hurriedly getting
ready to strike.
Strike il did, and It was only the multi

this was a powerful copperhead It easily
glided from beneath the stick, biting it
savagely, and made straight for his per

swerved and glided away in the under

lose this specimen, O'Reilly followed.

Fort Smith. Ark. Nov 2.-Far up IN
the Cherokee hills. and not many miles
from Sapulpa, where the gang is supposed
to be hiding, dwells the betrothed wife
of the most notorious outlaw the terri
tory has ever known.
Her name has been sent out already.
when the marriage license was procured
by Deputy Smith at Muskogee for the
twain.
Little else was known of her until. late
", Inspector Houck and others just down
from there have talked enthusiastically
of her. She is very pretty girl Of IS
summers.
Bill Cook is something OF a striking
young fellow himself, although he was
rather quiet until the outlaw fever began

He has turned out bad since, but the girl
Of his choice has never wavered in her
affection for him. Her parents have trieo
to dtssuade her from marrying him. but
the dangers now closing around his head
have made her cling 10 him all the more.
But the pursuit has now cut her Oft
from seeing him, as the marshals watch
her like hawks, and would like to use
her a decoy to entrap the gay Bill
She talks a great deal to the marshals
sometimes despondently. and then again
Chafiingly. Now she tells them that they
are on a wild-goose chase and will never
catch Bill. and again she breaks down
when they talk of the price they have
set on her lovers head.
In her serious moments she admits to
higher aspirations than being simply an
outlaws wife. and then she says that she
will try to reform her hayward boy. once
she said YEARLY, and yet longingly:
Il would like to see the world. / know
nothing Of it except what | have seen
on these hills. 1 have never been even to

The marshal who heard her say this
brutaly insinuated that perhaps that
could be fixed all right so that she could
come to Fort Smith He meant that her
lovers dead body would soon he at Fort
Smith, and that she could go there to
claim it, but the heartless meaning never
seemed TO dawn on her.
