talked one apologzing partly to himself
and partly to another, for q serious of
tense. But the young lady in whom my
friend here is-ah-interested is In that city
We must go to her rescue And empha-
sizing the remark with a violent thrust he
again hurried forward. The sun beat down
with fearful intensity, but the tall Swede
forged along the dusty road with doubled
fists and a swinging stride. Curtis wonder
ed atterward that the curious figure had
not impressed him as ludicrous; with the
long tails OF the shrunken coat falling
apart, the pompadour standing erect in the
encircling handkerchief. like a field of ripe
wheat in fence, the huge fists striking at
the trickling beads of sweat as though
they were living things. But no, old Lind
bohm was never ridiculous and Curtis
struck out after him. his arm aching with
the heavy saber. that would fall between
his legs the moment he let it go.
'Lindbohm was right, of course. Poor
Panayota, what a fright she must be in,''
In utter silence they strobe ahead The
Turk said nothing, although he marveled
and suffered greatly. He owed his life to
these foreigners, and he had determind to
see them safely into Canea. If they chose
to go there in the broiling sun, and into. a
storm OF cannon balls, and all for a unit
in the tribe of women who are as the blades
of grass and all alike, why it was ''kis-
met" The four soldiers followed because.
he was their officer, and a Turkish soldier

babes or hell of belching cannon. So, for

with high stone walls and suddenly,
from around corner, came man. carry
ing a small child and holding a woman by
the hand: The couple stopped and looked
about them in perplexity of terror. Then
the woman leapt up and seizing the top of
the wall, bristling it was with broken
glass, scrambled over like a cat. The man
tossed the baby after her and followed.
Curtis and Lindbohm both turned and look
ed inQuiringly at the Turk
They are Christians, he explained;
who knows what has happened?"
A tall. bareheaded Cretan, In shirt and
baggy breeches. holding little girl under
each arm like water jugs, appeared,
stopped and stared irresoute. A half-dress-
ed woman with a newborn babe at her
breast, and a girl of twelve clinging to her
skirts, came next. The woman, with q
shrek Of terror. slid to her knees beside the
man. 1t was a painting Of fear, Christian
family IN the coliseum awaiting the wild
beasts.

eyes down the long Shining stretch over
which the heat quiveredl visibly. They
were standing beneath an olive tree at the
edge of the rocky and wooded tract through
/ which they had come. The only other
shade visible for at least D mile was tina,
made by solitary brush watch tower, far
out in midtield. The Jurh sat down upon
a rock and, removing his fez, famed with
it his scanty gray locks.

They said they had not heard it.
IT is, Only fools and Englishmen walk

"Ah," said Curtis, laughing. 81 remem-
Der now that 1 have heard it. but it was
mot exactly like that. 1t was Fools and
foreigners when heard it. Now l under
stand why you Turks are called the French
OF the orient. 1t Is because of your polite
ness"
Hassan Bey protested feebly and drowsi-
ly. Sleep, more powerful in the orient even
than politeness. was overcoming him. He
settled himself comfortably against the
trunk of the olive tree; his head lolled to
one side and his mouth dropped open.
1T would be pity to wake him. said
Curtis The relaxed features looked tired
and old. Hes not bad sort, as Turks
go, and he does look done up
Hes a brave man." said Lindbohm,
Let him sleep for a little WHILE" and the
Swede. sitting down upon a fiat rock, with
his face between his palms. gazed at a lit
tie patch of sea, glittering far away, like
a lake among moi ntains.

mused that 1 don't believe 1 shall

too, as the governor has sort of set
his heart on it. 1 haven't spent much
money in Crete, it's true but II promised
to be back and take hold in the office"
Then his mind reverted to Panayota. He
always saw her in thought with jug upon
her shoulder, standing on the edge of a
precipice.
Il wonder what the governor will think
of Panayota?" he muttered. His father

the locusts were at work, plying their
sleepy rasps, infinitely numerous and mon
otonous. They emerged from the grove
into narrow path on the edge of a steep
incline. A few gnarled pines had struggled
out from the forest onto the side of the
slope and down the path. At their right
was precipice twenty feet in height. and
they stood looking down into a square res
ervoir Of masonry, containing about three
inches of green, Shiny water. The soldier
ran to a point little farther on, where 4
pear tree, growing close by the side of a
precipce acted as ladder. They scram-
bled down it's branches into the garden
that pertained to farm house not far
distant. Curtis and his companions stood
looking into the reservoir fascinated for
the moment by half a dozen pairs of bug-
ing eyes that were staring at them from
the green slime. But the spell was quickly
broken by voice from the depths that

satisfied their thirst. The windows and
furniture lay in the middle of the floor. A

He furtively stopped and picked from the
angled clematis a crude rag doll, and slipped
1t into the tail pocket of the long coat.
His little blue-eyed sister at home in their
native land had once possessed such a doll,
and this ruined house touched very tender
spot in his heart. The Turkish major,
white haired erect and slender, was STROLL

victims of Snake Bite in India.

FROM the latest report on the destruction
Oh WIG animals and snakes In India # an
pears that during the last ten wears an
average OF q 600 human beings have hoo,
klt'cd annually by venomous snakes. or IN
olher words, no less than sixty people die
OF an average every twenty-four hours
from snake bite in British India. With \
view to mitigating this heavy mortality tho
government of India has for many wears
past been In the habit Of Offering rewards
or head money for the slaughter of all
known species of venomous snakes viz :.
40. Tor each cobra and I'd. for each viper or
heralt. Notwithstanding the payment of
large sums annually for the destruction of
these reptiles, the results have hitherto
Eeeh most discouraging, and of late 1t has
become serious question whether any
Denef1t Is to be derived from the payment
or these rewards. The mortality still con-
tnues very heavy, and snakes appear to he
as plentiful as ever.
On the principle that where there is a
demand supply is forthcoming, 1t has for
some time been suspected that the natives
OF the country have in some places resorted
to breeding snakes for the sake of the re-
wards offered for them. Whether there is
any truth in this idea Is very doubtful but
1t certainly prevails In the minds of natives
as well as European residents. The facts
herein recounted render the existence OF
anything like snake farming extremely
problematical.
When snake catching literally by hum
slips In field, 1t becomes obvious that the
trouble and expense of breeding these crea-
lures in farm are not likely to be re,
sorted to-
