SNAKE IN BATTLE WITH BOYS

Russell and Tyus were fishing in Big

started when the moccasin discovered
them and came back. meeting them in

Russell struck the snake with an
oar and knocked him under the water
but the reptile came up mofe viciously
than ever and struck sava.cly al the
boat and its occupants. In their eff

thrown into the water. They dived
and came up directly opposite the rep
tile. A second dive was made and the

If the conditions for rain are unfavor-

price of grain. Should the drought be
prolonged the prices will go higher
ard higher. Now the crops on the
higher lands will all turn yellow and
die.
At such times great suffering en-
sues to the poor who have no store Of
grain. but have to buy their daily sup

such times of scarcity 1t is not I'M
common for them to go with only one
meal a day. You see them grow thin
ner and weaker day by day. until
many fall an easy prey to disease and
fever. this. bear in mind. is the con
dltion of things when there is merely
a scarcity of food
What is the terrible plight of the
people when the crops fail altogether
no pen can describe: then thousands
and hundreds of thousands droop and
die As soon as IL becomes known
that there is scarcity in any part OF
the country test works are started,
and If the people flock to these relief
works In such numbers as to make IL
evident that famine conditions are
prevailing, larger schemes OF relief
works are set on foot. and charity IL
enlisted on behalf of those too feeble
to work; but, Notwithstanding all that

terrible that words cannot describe it!!

land. as famines in that province are
Of very rare occurrence. Should the
drought be but temporary the peasant
endeavors to keep alive his crops by
manual irrigation TIL the grateful
showers fall. With copious showers

in the course of three months or SO a
golden harvest will cover the land.
At last the time of reaping has
come. All the vast harvests OF Bengal

and were they known. the capital ex-
pendlture involved In their purchase
would be far beyond the means OF the
poor cultiyator. Then, too. the en-
bankments intersecting the fields
would present great obstacles to their
use. so the peasant adheres to the
old custom practiced from time i'm
This method may be slow. but it is
sure and cheap.
The sickles used are barely larger
than hooked knives; each separate
tuft of rice-stalks is caught in the left
hand and cut with the sickle in the
right This handful is then laid aside
to dry and the next is taken in hand
So handful by handful the whole of
the crop Is cut.
When it is sufficiently dry, 1t is tied

brant was. His wife gave out
that he was dead. but that testimony
was not of great value. AT any
rate If he lived. he was wise in his
generation and he kept under cover.
In the house party there was an
other eternal-in more senses than
one!-feminine in the person of the
ancient and imperious duchess of Dull
ward. Her great age precluded the
possibility of jealousy of Darlington
in Ellen's mind, but the chatelaine of
the castle did not like the ponderous
and vicious dowager any more than
the younger pair who were making
the running apparently for the affec-
lions of her husband.
There was only one woman in the
castle whom Ellen really did like. and
that was Mistress Debbie Slocum of
Massachusetts. In making up the
house party Ellen by freak of cir
cumstances had desired to include
some one from her own land. AS for
tune would have 1t. n ship opportune-

CHAPTER III.
Ellen PLAYS a Game.

The greater climax came the might
after. Lady Ellen had declined to ride
that day. She had business at home
as the chatelaine. Consequently, n
mishap had occurred during the da.
light. Lord Strathgate had pleaded in
disposition and had remained at the
castle also. Indifferent apparently to
the black looks of his host as he rode
away by the side of Lady Cecily. Mis-
tress Debbie. who made not the faint
est pretense of being interested In
hounds, and who indeed cherished n
growing sympathy for the fox, had
also refused to ride in chase of Master
Reynard. Sir Charles Seton had made
an Intellectual effort to do likewise
only to be carried off by his host al
most by violence and allotted to Mrs.
Monbrant for the days sport.
Evening found the party assembled
in the drawingroom. Everybody was in
a bad humor
The only serene one apparently was
Lady Ellen. When the men Joined the
women in the drawingroom after the

brant. but not without certain very
definite charm of her own. Her type
did not appeal to Darlington. however.
and therefore Ellen loved her.
Having surveyed the woman through
Ellen's eyes. we may take look at
the men through those of her hus-
band First in rank there was the
duke of Outward. a hard drinker a
high player and rich liver; Admiral
Benjamin Kephard. a jolly old sailor.
and General. Honorable George Athel-
strong, an Anglo-Indian soldier on the
retired list The qualities that distin
guished the duke of Outward were
common to Athelstrong, in a less de-
gree perhaps owing to their differ
ent stations. The party was com
pleted by the presence of Sir Charles
Seton and earl of Strathgate. Seton.

friend had enjoyed weakness for
Ellen since he first saw her but the
friendship between Darlington and
himself had been so true that moth

TAKES POISON; WRITES
HIS DYING SENSATIONS
COLLEGE STUDENT SWALLOWS
MORPHINE AND JoTS DOWN
ADVANCE OF DEATH.

Guelph. Ont.-Dragging out his death
through several hours, John Tcher-
MAC. a college student. set down rec
ord of the symptoms of successive
doses of morphine tablets here. His
body was found in a chair with the
head and arms on a table, and with
the pencil which Tcherniac had writ
ten of approaching death still clasped
in the nerveless fingers.
The youth took 30 tablets In six
doses of five tablets each dose. His
watch lay on the table before him, and
he recorded the time of the doses.
Each interval was of half an hour.
Fifteen minutes after he had swal-
lowed the first five tablets Tcherniac
wrote:
Have gone five morphine pellets
on the way to death. and with 10 min
