We were sitting on the veranda of
our bungalow one evening in far-on
Burmah. Il. a. and |. enjoying our
after-dinner cheroot The waters of
the bay tapped lazily at the sands at
our feet, for our house was "bu;lded ON
the sands" of the shore. All the world
seemed at peace, only the "plunk!
p!unki" of the monotonous night bird
in the jungle, and the occasional weird
note of tine jaeSal. signaling in the dis
lance to his comrades, Was heard. The
moon had come up from behind rocky
island. just over in the bay. and spread
flood Of golden-yellow light over the
silver-topped breakers, rolling in over
neighboring coral reef. 1t vas so calm

out of the world, and yet death lurked
Just Mt my friends elbow. as he
pulled unconsciously at his cheroot.
We had been discussing in leisu,eiy
manner something that had happeued
in America. To prove some point, my
friend arose. and. stretching himself
lazily. sauntercd into the bedroom to
get paper bearing on the matter we
had been discussing. Usually lights
were placed in all the bedrooms, but

reason-probably the moonlight--the

He held out his right arm. There
was no mark on the hand, which l
examined critically. but on the cuf of

like punctures, and two little globules
of poison sinking into the starched
linen and leaving sickly. greenish
yellow mark.

We found him coiled up on small
mirror, which lay on the table. and an
ugly looking devil he was. too. ready to
strike again.
He was very poisonous snake

Young Woman Abducted.

SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. IA myster-
ious and sensational abduction took
place here this evening. Shortly after
dark a carriage containing two straDg-
ers drove up to the home of Perry Lewis
on Third street. In response to a knock
Mr.. Lewis opened the door. when he
was felled with blow by some instru-
ment in the hands OF one of the strang-
ers. One OF the men then seized Lib
bic, the handsome 1s-year-old daughter
of Mr.. Lewis, carried her out and
placed her in the carriage. Before the
other man could enter the vehicle John
Lewis, son, came rushing out with a
revolver in his hand. Before he could
shoot he was struck on the head with a
rock, stunning him. In twinkling
the carriage drove away with the three
occupants and disappeared in the dark
ness.
The parents are distracted over the
loss Of their daughter. and are unable
to account for her abduction. The po-
lice are guarding all outgoing trains,
in the hopes of capturing the abduc-
Tors.
