drop to the bottom of the boat, boys
commanded OTTO, while he and Sidney,
icing the largest of the six, unshipped
,heir oars and stood in the bow awaiting
the on-coming of the huge black snake,
as they now perceived it to be. But not
until it was close upon them did two
simultaneous, well-directed blows fall
upon its horrible head; and it instantly
sank from sight beneath the muddy
waters. Then the frightened boys sent
the boat skimming ahead.
After another hour of rowing they al,
ruptly emerged from the cypress swamp
upon Il broad expanse. With glad
shout, but with weary muscles, the boys
again bent to their oars. Suddenly the
speeding skiff struck with terrifying
shock against submerged post. For 4
second the boat rocked wildly, dipping
water. As it righted, Bert solemnly an
nounced: Boys, we're still atloat-but
that was what reporter would call a
dull, sickening thud.'"
Cautiously they again started on, only
a moment later to find their rudder en-
tangled in fence wire hidden just be-
low the surface.
1--WE must be right over Langhorne's
market gardens" concluded Otto, after
encountering another post and several
more obstructing wires. Now, if we
hold due east We'll come out ct old
Mississippi sure
but where is due east?" asked Sid-
Eey, obviously. And all searched the
ciouded sky for some sign of the missing
sun.
Their situation was growing more and
more critical, and with gathering dark
ness came more accidents.
"If we don't stave in the boat against
these posts or get stranded somewhere
between here and the gulf" Sidney was
saying-when across the waste of water
the booming of cannon came family.
"That's signal for u.s." cried Otto;
end they Immediately headed the boat
toward the sound, which was now re-
peated at frequent intervals.
Slowly they crept along through the
darkness and the distractions.
"The canal" shouted Bert, who was
keeping a lookout from the bow; and
directly before them, family outlined,
lay the familiar channel.
Completely exhausted they unshipped
the oars, and let the boat drift with the
current down 10 the pier. AS it grazed
the landing a salute of guns was fred,
announcing the return of the missing
skiff and its crew,
'The entire parish is out searching for
YOU, young men-where have you been
s u day?" asked one of the crowd upon
he wharf.
We've been having sort of delirium
.remens time over there in the swamp"
responded Otto, wcarily.
When the six boys sat down that night
to late dinner, Sidney said solemnly:
"But for the mercy of Heaven we would
now be food for the fishes, and not they
Tor u.s."
"Wonder if they would have COM

some distance from Avalon before they
discovered that they had gone wide OF
their course. Then, instead of turning
back, they thought to gain distance by
cutting across through narrow neck
of wooded swamp. The depth of the

lower branches, and the Spanish moss,
floating in gray streamers from every
limb, completely obscured the view.

Number of snakes in the water and

'These snakes are altogether too So

into the water that had dropped beside

"They arc only hungry" explained
Sidney. "1hey don't mean any harm"

ously with his cane.

The swamp, and now obscured the sun;

blistered hands and aching arms,
through the seemingly endless swamp,
and those who were resting from the
oars were kept busy by the too familiar
snakes.

the boys. But keep clear of the trees"
he warned them, ''as the branches are

skiff.

For days the Mississippi had been ris-
ing, menacing the towns and planta-
tions along its course. The frcshets,
draining the vast uplands TO the north
and east and west, had swollen the
volume of water of this great mid-con-
tinent sewer beyond the danger limit of
its natural capacity.
Day and night the river banks were
vigorously patrolled by guards watch

rupture, while relays of laborers

1t was an intensely exciting time for

MONEY LOST IN STREET cAns.

Have you any idea how much mon : Is lost in the street cars in this town: asked a Metropolitan street raflwa y conductor of a reporter the other day after he had, picked up a dime and slowed ii away in an inside pocket. "Wen. there's lot If 1t and no one knows it better than we conductors. Hunting for coins on the bottom of my car is one of the regular gratis. and any other conductor who has been .i the business long enough to get his eyes open is on the same lay.
 Last year I made up my mind to pII. away ever" cent I found in my car ,i an old iron bank had at home for the benefit of my youngster. I kept stow ing the coins away and at inc end : the year I had s6.O7. or course. that : not a barrel of money. but it's right nice pickup for a conductor The biggest find I mad that year was a 50-cent piece. From that the coin ran all the way down to a cent. In the winter time the pickings are especially good. for then every one has gloves n. and the coins slip from the fingers to the floor without the owners knowing 1t. The only way to be sure you iia-e all the money is to pick up the gratings on the floor. l do that every night a. regularly as eat my supper.
 Now. I've figured it out hat If find S6 a year it's very likely that other con- ductors average somewhere near tn Il sum. maybe more. maybe less. There are several thousand conductors in Greater New York so that it's safe tp say that at least $15.000 or s2G. 000 il an- nually dribbled onto the floors of street cars by the passengers. In this esti- mate don't include large sums whic1 are sometimes lost in wallets and pur sss. conductor is expected to tmn these in at the office. and about all of them do. But the nickels and dimes and quarters are legitimate picknes and we all have our eyes peeled for them."-New York Sun.
