DEATH TO REPTILES.
Arizona Priest DESTROYS of Emula-
ting St. Patrick.
Rss a Unique Plan Of Kidding the
Great Southwest of Snakes, Tar
antulas, Scorpions and
Centipedes.

The Phoenix (Ariz.) correspondent
OF the Chicago Inter Ocean says that
TO emulate st. Patrick and to do for
this country what the Irish saint did
for Ireland-rid il Of snakes-is the
desire of Rev. Father Pedro Rodri-
guez. Indeed, Father Rodriguez
would go even further and not only
rid the southwest of its rattlesnakes,
but also destroy the insect life
which makes life unpleasant on arid
lands.
Fifty years ago he went 80 Arizo-
ma, and began his labors for the
church in New Mexico, Arizona and
old Mexico. A short time later he
brought his sister and younger broth
er out west, and established them on
! small rancho in the upper valley Of
the Yaqui river.
he himself was stationed at Quay
mas. One day a message came to
him, telling him of the death of his
brother and sister. The latter had
gone to spring for water, and as
she stopped a warning rattle had
sounded under her hand. Before she
could draw back the rattlesnake bit
her in the cheek. She tore the rep
tile loose and hurrying to the house,
fell in faint. Her brother reached
home to find her dying. The follow
ing day, at the spring. he, too, was
bitten by rattler and died.
Father Rodriguez buried the bodies
side by side, and for nearly 20 years
remained in the solitude of a monas-
terry. Some ten years ago failing
health obliged him to live in the open
air. Since then he has devoted much
of his time to a scientific and per-
sistent slaughter Of snakes, and the
walls of his country home are COW
cred with skins and rattles.

This was agreed to, and the two men

gone and then looked up Biggs, who
was in the library.

"Quite so, senorita," replied Wynd-

Then in a few words he related all
that ne had done to obviate such a pos

description.
Craig Wyndham had prepared to en-
counter beauty when he entered the
presence OF Carmen del Puente, and
yet when the reality was before him he
was conscious of a shock Of surprise
Beauty In women had never affected
him beyond the polnt of mere admira-
ton, but the earnest, steadfast eyes,
perfect features and high character
that shone in the face of Carmen del
Puente awoke some hitherto dormant
sense Of appreciation within him. Be
fore he had been ten minutes in her
presence he felt as If they were old
friends, as II somehow or somewhere
they had known each other always.
There were sincerity, truth, earnest
ness, high purpose and indomitable res
olution In every expression Of her fea-
lures, In every gesture she made, and
Wyndham, who rarely trusted anybody
until that person had been thoroughly
tried, felt that he might with COM
placency put implicit trust in this wo-
man.
