double curve and the steaming, wide
open mouth made it's desperate effort
to reach it's enemy. This attack, it
could be seen, was despairing, but it was
nevertheless, impetuous, gallant, fero-
cious, of the same quality as the charge
for the lone chief when the walls Of
white faces close upon him in the noun
tains. The stick swung unerringly
again and the snake, mutilated, torn,
whirled into the last coil.
And now the man went sheer raving
mad from the emotions of his fore
fathers and from his own. He came to
close quarters. He gripped the stick
with his two hands and made it speed
like fail. The snake tumbling in the
anguish of final despair, fought, bit,
flung itself upon this stick which was
taking it's life.
At the end, the man clutched his
stick, and stood watching in silence.
The dog came slowly and with infinite
caution, stretched his nose forward,
shifting. The hair upon it's neck and
back moved and ruffled as if sharp
wind was blowing. The last muscular
uuivers of the snake were causing the
rattles to still sound their treble cry, the
shrill, ringing war-chant and hymn of
the grave of the thing that faces foes
at once countless, implacable and su-
perior.
well, Rover" said the man, turning
to the dog, with grin Of victory, ''we'll
carry Mr.. Snake home to show the
girls
His hands still trembled from the
strain of the encounter, but he pried
with his stick under the body of the
snake and hoisted the limp thing upon
it. He resumed his march along the
path and the dog walked TRANQUILITY
meuitative at his masters heels.

The Squirrel. Owl and Mioc. Also tho Re-

It was in late summer and the owl sat
upon q branch looking very wise and
doing nothing. while the squirrel
busted himself with the nuts lying
about on the ground. gathering them
expeditiously and slowing them away
in hollows and holes.
Winter came by and by and with its
sharp cold and deep snow, but still the
owl sat upon the branch looking wise
and doing nothing. The squirrel jeered
at him, thinking that the owl must be
hungry and starving, because the bird
had not been provident one. Each day
the squirrel grew fatter. but the owl
did not change, which the squirrel
thought to be due to the feathers stuck
out by the owl in his false pride.
When it was at last between fall and
spring time, the blue jay ono day saw the
wise owl leave its perch on the branch
and seize the fat, provident squirrel by
the neck and eat him. after which the
owl returned to the branch, and sat
upon it, looking wiser than ever, and the
blue Jay wondered if it was better to be
provident like the squirrel. wise like the
owl, or lucky like the mice that there
after ate Of the squirrels store.

Of Europe. The natural result was
that the people who had hitherto been
engaged in farming one and all hetook
themselves to ministerinG in various
ways to the throngs of invalids. The

was the dry, shrill whistling of the rat

Beware! Beware! Bewarel"
The man made a preliminary feint
with his stick. Instantly the snakes
heavy head and neck was Bonded back
on the double curve and instantly the
snakes body shot forward in a low,
straight, hard spring. The man jumped
backward with convulsive chatter and

blow fell upon the snakes head and

were for moment uppermost. But he
