The folio wing story of a scorpion getting
into boot Is tod 1T 'he expense of an Eng
llsh officer, no was stationed witt his rcs,f-
ment at Alld hahad. He was patti OH his
boots one morning, and VAS Just about TO
stamp the heel down, when he felt sharp
prick. Several poisonous scorpions had been
seen about the barracks for the past few
weeks, so that he naturally concluded that
it was one OF these pests that had stung him.
'.Wel, the harm's done now. he NUT
tered with mental benediction upon the
head of his servant for being SO careless,
but an yhow ] may as well kill the brute.
It'n get away If take the boot off"
Accordingly he began stamping violently
on the floor with a view to crushing the
life out of the scorpion Every time he
stamped it gave him the greatest agony, but
he stuck bravel Y tu it, until at last he thought
that the Oh lect tionabie tenant must he dead.
When he took off his boot, however, he
felt both relieved ard veNcd. but was glad
that he had not summoned assistance. 1t
was years before he could tell the real
story OF his scorpion; for during half an
hour had lie been stamping upon and tr ying
to kill q bIaCk-brush which his servant had
accidental y left jim the bottom of his boot.
