A Snake Story.

81 once knew case, said the story
teller, wherein snake displayed not
only an unusual affection, but a great
deal Of courage. II appears that some
years ago "a professor Of natural history
from an Eastern university was sent
10 the southern part OF Yucatan TO in-
Nestigate the snakes OF that section.
one afternoon while walking over
desert, thinking Of little but the time
he would arrive at camp, he heard a
peculiar rattling sound that seemed TO
come from under pile Of rocks. He
at once made an investigation and
was rewarded by the discovery Of
maston rattlesnake, which he was on
the point Of dispatching 30 as to put il
out OF misery, as the rocks had so fall
en- that portion Of the snakes body
was badly mangled and torn. In the
matter OF taking the reptiles life he
hesitated, owing 10 the pathetic and
pleading expression in the wounded
creatures eyes. Ii quite unneryed
him, 80 he rolled the rocks of and
waited result in the shape Of very pro-
nounced gratitude.
The delighted and thankful crea-
ture wnggled over to him and rubbed
his leg with a grateful air that was
bound 10 last. The professor was
moved by this exhibition, aud having
some cotton IN his yalise, he bound up
the wounded part and left the snake
as comfortable as possible. The next
day he left Yucatan for Guatemala
and was gone over five years. On his
return 10 Nucatan he again had occa-
sion 10 pass over the desert, and great
~ to his surprise, encountered the
same eptile few miles from where
the previous incident occurred. The
recognition was mutual, and the joy
ful RATHER coiled about his leg, licked
his hand with friendly tongue, and
showed marked industrious apprecia-
ton. When the professor took up his
march again the snake followed him
and even insisted upon getting into
the wagon and becoming a regular oc-
cupant."
look here, Edgar, amt you going
a little too far with that yarn ?" in
Iured a friend.
Not as far a. the snake is going.

and had for a travelling companion

on became the best chums, and it was

walking out in the road with the
make gliding along beside him.

essOr had retired and left the snake

awakened by the crash of
