A man connected with a travelling

thing crawling over his breast reused

Sprinpine up he threw off the crea-

prick OF its fangs in his arm, and with
q howl OF pain and terror, bounded
from the tent and shouted for help,
whisky. a doctor or some medicine.
There CHANGED to be nothing available
within reach, and his fellows stood
around with scared faces waiting for
him to die. which he appeared likely
to do in a short time. The arm began
to swell and the poor victim was soon
easping for breath and groaning with
almost intolerable pain. At last, just
as the breath seemed about to leave
his body, some one among the wagons
shouted that one OF the pet snakes had
escaped. 1t was an enormous RATHER,
but harmless, as the fangs had been
removed. The reptile was found dead
under one side of the tent, where the
man had flung it. The bite proved to
be the prick from sharp tack in the
canvas of the tent. In an hour the
man was as well as ever save for
weakness caused by the nervous ex-

who witnessed the incident that but
