When the captain reached the hali

When the captain reached the hall
Miss Pate, with an imperative beck Of
her bony finger, summoned him into the
kitchen.

The captain related the substance Of
his conversation with Miss Cogswell.
Miss Pate's eyes cleaned and she
twisted her fingers into divers complex
figures.
Thomas Wrenn," she said, finally,
go back to Miss Cogswell and tell her
you will arrange to answer for David
tomorrow night"
But it can't be DONE" stammered the
captain.
Miss Pate whispered into his ear and
he stared at her in amazement mingled
with admiration, then he went up stairs
and knocking at the invalid's door an
nounced that he would agree to being
security for Mr.. White the next night.
The following night Capt. Wrenn pre-
sented himself at the Cogswell house
with the air Of a man who had but a
vague idea of what was to happen.
Miss Coswell was again propped up by
pillows and also ornamented by the rose
tinted wrapper. Mr. Bond, a lawyer,
sat beside the bed.
Il believe, captain" said the latter.
you will answer for the good behavior
of our friend, David White"
Before Capt. Wrenn could reply the
door opened and Miss Pate appeared
with Mr.. David White in tow Appa-
rently Mr., White came unwillingly. but
nevertheless he came.
Miss Cogswell," said Miss Pate, this
here young man"-Mr. White was 40 if
he was a day-'is prosecuting me with
prayers to marry him and because de-
clined he has taken to drink. At last
have yielded and David will drink no
more"
The ghost of smile passed over Miss
Cogswell's face.
"You think, with his wife's assistance.
you can be security for David's sobriety,
captain?" said She
Il think" replied the captain. with
exemplary candor, that if was to
marry Sarah I'd be druv to drink.
Things go by contraries. and as he's al
ready been druy there think he'll have
to find something else to go to-"
Il am satisfied" said Miss Cogswell.
Mr.. Bond arrange the bequest."
But Miss Pate nodded to the captain
and he hastened down stairs and re-
turned with gentleman in a white neck
tie.
Miss Cogswell," said Miss Pate, 'to
make you feel sure, Mr.. Bowes will now
unite David and me in the holy bonds
Of matrimony in your presence"
Mr.. BOweS at once proceeded with the
ceremony. Mr. David Whites eyes dur
ing the solemnity wandered vacantly
from the captain to the door as if vainly
hoping for an avenue to escape. When
the time came for an affirmation from
him of his willingness to take Miss Pate
for better or for worse he rather irrele-
vanity said something like femme CO."
a remark which the reverend gentleman
very properly refused to notice.
''Oh. David" sobbed Miss Pate, when
her husband was being congratulated by
the captain and Mr.. Bond, "you don't
know what a sacrilege I've made for
you. but my heart smote me when saw
you going to ruin for my sake"
Thomas Wrenn," she said, when the
wedding party had descended to the
kitchen, eff anybody casts forth the
dispersion that I married David because
of Miss Cogswell's money I'll treat it

WHAT THE SIAMESE EAT.
Putrid Fish Regarded as a Delicacy
by the Not over-Fastidious
Natives.

Siamese food principally consists Of
dried, frequently rotted fish, and rice.
done into curries which comprise lit
tie of about every kind of condiment,
and especially a very popular sauce
called namphrik, chutney-like and
thoroughly mixed thing made of red
pepper, shrimp, garlic, onions, citron,
ginger and tamarind seeds, says Casper
Whitney, in Outing. The only reason
for the fish being putrid is because the
natives like it so, for fish are plentiful
in the rivers, and fishermen numerous,
though their ways of catching are rather
amusing and antique.
One favorite method borrowed from
the Chinese is beating the water with
long bamboo sticks to frighten the fish
into an eight or ten-foot Squarish net,
which is lowered into the river from a.
framework on the bank by a system of
wheels and ropes and pulleys, and
hoisted up again when the catch is COM
plete. must confess that when the fish
in the curry chanced to be fried instead
of decayed, found the concoction de-
cidedly toothsome. In fact, a really
good curry is in class apart. and one
must go to India or the far east to get it
at it's best.
Sometimes the natives eat pork, and
oftentimes chicken, but for the most
part rice and the fish curry constitute
their chief diet, supplemented by the
fruits of the country, of which there are
many kinds-mongOsteen. mango, pine
apple. banana, orange, bread fruit and
that most healthful and serving of all
Siamese fruits. the papaya, which grows
back from the water and is a greenish
oval melon that suggests cantaloupe
when opened.

MOST vEroMous SNAKE.
Hooded Cobra of India Is the Direct
Cause of Hundreds of Deaths
Every Year.

One Of the most interesting, as well
as the most deadly of all snakes, is
the hooded cobra, of India. In that
country hundreds of people die every
year from the yenomous bite of these
reptiles. AS 1t lies coiled up in little
heap in it's cage. 1t looks inoffensive
enough, and not nearly SO unpleasant
rs the stub-tailed ebony moccasins. But
when excited, the cobra rears up its
head and about one-third of IS body,
and we now see the reason for the
name hooded" The ribs just back
Of the head are very long and slender,
and when they are extended straight
out from the body the skin stretched
between them forms a curved shield or
hood around the head. On the back
of this hood. in the adult snake. is a
most remarkable ornament. looking
like two eyes with pair of spectacles.
nosepieces and all. In no two snakes
Is this ornament exactly alike, and some
individuals lack 1t altogether.
When the snake sways back and

playing like lightning. one may indeed
be glad that thick sheet of glass Is
between him and this terrible threat of
death. But one must remember that
this tongue has nothing to do with the
venom or bite, the poison fluid being
stored up in little sacs, and when the
snake strikes it is forced down and
put through the hollow teeth.
This is the snake which the snake
charmers of the east use In their per-
formances. and the photograph shows
snake in one of the very baskets
which these strange people use. The
music of the flutes evidently excites
them to spread their hoods, as does the
presence of food.
When the hood is not in use. it is

neatly between the ribs that it disap-

FOX FOOLED THE WOLF.
An Animal Story with a Moral Which
Had Its Origin Among the
lrOquOis Indians.

AS everybody knows, the wof hates

dams, this Is why:
One cod wlnlry day fox, who was
proving about looking to see There he
might seal his olnner, saw wagon
coming. 1t was ioaoed with fish, and
was driven by some. fishermen who
were taxing home their Gays catch.
al, ha!' said the cunning fox.
Here comes my dinner" and he fell
down by the roadside and pretended to
be deed.
The fishermen seeing him. picked
him up and threw him into the wagon
among the fish. Then the fox slyly
threw out some fish, and when the fish
ermea were not looking jumped out
himself and made off with the fish he
had thrown out.
Pretty soon afterward he met wolf,
who said: II am hungry, and guess
I will eat you for my dinner?"
But the fox said: Would you not
rather have fish for dinner?"
The wolf replied that, on the whole,
he thought he would prefer fish. Then
the cunning fox told him of the trick
by which he had just got his own dim
ner, and advised him to try it. The
wolf was pleased at the idea. and sc
he ran through the woods and head.
ed off the team which the fishermen
were driving, falling down in the road
in front of it and pretending to be
dead. But the fishermen, who had by
this time discovered the trick the fox
had played upon them. instead of TAX
ing him into the wogan. beat him with
clubs SO that he barely escaped with
his life. And on a hillside near by sal
