Ways of the Venomous Fsr-de-ianos
 of Martinique.
 The fer-de-lance is found on the is- lands of Martinique and Santa Lucia. where the natives counteract It's virus with a decoction of jungle hemlock. and the basis of its grewsome reputa- tfon seems to be the fact that it does not warn the intruders of its haunts after the manner of the cobra or the rattlesnake. but aattens It's coils and, with slightly vibrating tall, awaits events.
 If the unsuspecting traveller should show no sign of hostile intent he may be allowed to pass unharmed within two yards of the coiled matadore. but a closer approach is apt to be construed as a challenge. and the vivoron. sud- denly rearing it's ugly head. may scare the trespasSer into some motion of self defense He may lift his foot or brand ish his stick in menacing manner. If be does. he is lost The lower coils will expand, bringing the business end. neck and all Il few feet nearer; the head points like a leveled rife, then darts forward with electric swiftneSs. guided by an unerring instinct for the selection of the least protected parts of the body
 And the vindictive brute is ready to repeat its bite. For moment it rears back. trembling with excitement. and If felled by blow of its victims stick will snap away savagely at stumps and stones or even, like a wounded panther. at it's own body.

OF 8 o'clock a.. M. They used a launch,
one OF those gasoline AFFAIRS, to tow
the duck boats down to the feeding
grounds OF the waterfowl. And the
lake was full OF moss and the launch
didn't have what IL technically known
as q NEEDLESS wheel The sea wa
choppy when the expedition started
and 1t grew worse as daylight came
on.
Moss on the Whesl.
The water sometimes flew over the
gunwale into the launch. Then the
propeller clogged with moss and as
he had been stuck" TO keep IL clear
on the down trip, he pulled his coat, his
sweater and rolled his sleeve up 70
his ears to dig off the moss. The wa
ter was chillier than any ice ever ped
died, and II kept getting colder the
longer the moss stuck. Immediately
following the moss cleaning. the gaso-
line engine went on a strike. It ran
beautifully backward, but nothing do
ing forward. The launch vas and the
duck boats drifted into a moss bed
and the engine suddenly took a notion
to start. The wheel picked up q fine
bunch OF moss and again the res
surrected sportsman shed his "duds''
and cleaned the wheel.
They Finally Arrive.
When the launch had finally been
poled 2out of the moss, the engine be-
trayed evidence OF working, but 1t was
| discovered the gasoline was gone. One
! mile away was plenty OF the neces-
sary fuel. but It was unnecessary after
all to go that far, for another launch
which had gone on strike was found
aground a short distance away and 1T
had a can of gasoline aboard.
The owner OF the abandoned launch
lost the gasoline. With a fresh supply
OF gasoline the hunters launch was
tried az In and quit cold. 1t wouldn't
| go backward or forward, and SO the
anchor was tossed overheard amid the
loud huzzas OF the moss cleaner. The
hunters took to the duck boats and
rowed the rest OF the three miles. The
waves washed over the low decks and
sent spray into the cockpit until the
hunters were drenched and chilled, but
the ducks were not far away and so
there wasn't any yelling. The fact was
each man I'm the crowd was silently
daring the other to kick, so the others
could turn to and rend him.
Duck Call a Failure.
Down in the duck blinds the hunters
waited for the breaking OF the dawn.
II came after n while, gray chill and
Willingly on the muddy water and the
aspiring sportsman blew a blast on
his brand new duck call.
The noise was terrifying.
Shut up, you fool sounds like a
cat fght.n chartered his companion,
~dlsgustedly.
Mutual exchanges OF glares and the
duck call fell into the lake, The min-
utes slid away, but no ducks An hour
crept by and then a>palr OF bluewings
tearing along in the gale swept past,
Everybody took a shot at them, in
Guiding the man who blew $125 for an
outfit. The bluewings disappeared in
the rain and the wind sighed through
the brush of the blind and the rattle OF
teeth went on.
