long piece of track with a block
cut square out of its middle.
The vision instantly faded, when
as if whispered in his ear, but
strikingly ineligible these words
followed: my son, the bridge
is gone!"
Concluding that he was the
victim of hallucination, he drove
the engine for some distance, and
then, as if guided by power
irresistible, his hand sought the
throttle, applied the brakes. and
the train came to a standstill.
Leaving the cab, he hurried up
the track, seen dimly ahead, and
discovered a bridge spanning
chasm burned away so COM
pletely that there was nothing
left but the bare rails stretching
across.
1t was utterly impossible for
Seaver to have discerned the
bridge from the point where
the vision of the missing section
of track came to his astonished
brain-that of itself would
have been a miracle. Where
did the warning of such intan-
gible nature originate? 1t was
a question which he frankly
stated he was unable to settle to
his own satisfaction; but the
fact remained unaltered.

MontfortFs terrible adventure is related in a
letter to friend in New York. He writes in con-
clusion:
Had I not needed the mystical presence that
prevented me from throwing myself from the bed,
YOU know what would have been the outcome. A
cobra bite is inevitably fatal l talked the affair
over with our surgeon who has spent many years in
India and is something of naturalist. To my sug-
gestion that his snakeship himself might have been
unwttingly responsible for the warning, he stated
emphatcaly that he judged not; that so far as his
knowledge and belief extended, cobra under such
conditions is cunningly quiet, and, furthermore
there could have been nothing connected with its
physical presence to disturb me, such as odor.
$50 l have arrived at the conclusion that the
warning was one of those inscrutable manifestations
of Providence occasionally vouchsafed us miserable
sinners Perhaps if not that it was my alter ego my
subconscious self; it instinct, the heritage
of savage ancestors, not wholly eradicated because
of the disuse of civilization, but latent which

His Trend r1d1culed what he
considered simply superstitious
folly, and urged him to accept
the watch. The purser took it,
though with evident reluctance,
and nothing more was thought
of his unaccountable aversion.
In order to be nearer his
fancee during the stay in port,
the ships officer secured an
apartment at the Baldwin no.
tel in the heart of the city. The
second night he was at the
hotel it was burned, and the
owner of the watch was one of
those missing. His room mate
divulged the fact that the two
had escaped to the street, when
the purser remembered he had
left the watch, returned to find
it, and persisted.

of some description was menacing

At the instant, as if an invisible

was impelled to remain in the bed.
Near the low couch on which he

found by cropping, and struck one.
AS the light illumined the darkness
an involuntary gasp of horror

cobra, hood erect, "spectacles"

steamship plying between Panama and San Fran

to an intimate friend wealthy planter of Central
America that after the next trip but one he to

watch.
To the intense surprise of the donor, the purser

beheld the timepiece it stirred up in him nameess
dread appeared fairly to radate calamity for him.
