A CORY A TALE.

The Captain Barely Escaped and Then
saw a Wonderful Battle.
Over on the reclaimed sugar lands
at st. Cloud are found some of the
biggest snakes, rattlers and mecca
sins in this section of the state. While
Captain Winter was riding down a
path near the creek a big reptile
sprang at him from beside the path,
catching his leather boot. The SER
points fangs could not penetrate the
leather, but hung there, dangling.
The captain was greatly startled,
but bent down and cut at the reptile
with his riding whip, breaking its
neck. Almost instantly one of the
tree snakes that are found in this
lection dropped down from an over
hanging branch and coiled around
his neck, and almost at the same in
slant another RATHER on the other
side of the horse made a spring, fas-
tening on his heavy corduroy trou-
sers.
The horse set off on a run and the
captain was %unseated, being thrown
into the middle of the bushes. The
big RATHER was thrown oft by his
fall, but the tree snake still hung
around his neck, and it's folds grad
ually frightened, choking him. The
captain seized its throat with his
right hand and with his left he
tried to untwist it's coils. The snake
vas a big one, and he had a terrible
struggle with it. Again and again
it would force its big head into his
face, its wicked red eyes cleaning
with malice and rage, whileits fork
ed tongue ran out, and it's %sickening
breath almost him. Coil
after coil he |hurriedly unwound
from around his neck, relieving his
breathing until at last he was en-
tirely free. His grasp on its throat
became tighter, and he strapgled it,
having no weapon with him. AS
its folds relaxed he cast it from him.
While waiting he heard a kissing
by his side, and, glancing around,
he saw two reptiles coiled. almost
ready to spring. A third hiss on
the other side showed him a RATHER
in the act OF springing. The captain
jumped for his life, and as he did so
the snakes sprang at the same time,
and by a funny coincidence they
missed the captain and struck each
other in midair. They fell in a con
vulsive heap, fighting each other
tooth and nail. The captain had
sprung to a tree stump and stood
there watching the strange combat.
One of The serpents had caught the
other i'll its fangs, and the wounded
II was striking viciously at the
other two. 1t vas a three cornered
fight of ID most vicious and deter
mined character. The snakes would
coil up and spring at each other, in
f1icting wounds. their furious eyes
blazing fire, while their Kissing and
rafting made a terrible din. Final
ly n of them fell over in its death
agony, the poison having worked
into its system, and shortly after
that both the others also fell, with
ing.
The captain did not wait to see the
end. but with vigorous leaps gain
ed the path and started after his
runaway horse, which he found half
a mile farther on, and the captain
noun ed and came to town.-Buf-
