Richmond, Ky.-Allen Earring, a

some time. and, strangely. 1t was
speeding that saved his life, instead of
threatening it.
Earring went out into the country on
business and while he was talking over
the deal big copperhead snake
crawled up and snuggled itself in the
lap robe on the floor of the machine.
When Earring started home the snake
raised its head and showed its fangs

sat inert while the reptile wound it.

The snake moved around lixle

about its full speed and its head was
within an inch or two of the brake
handle. In this position 1t swayed
its head back and forth, and thrust out
its fangs whenever the man looked as

Earring had more than ordinary
nerve, and after tho first shock the
snake had given him-which had
caused him inadvertently to start the
machine In its wild ride-he regained
as much composure as the critical sit
uation would admit. Several times he
essayed to put the brakes on the car
and attempt to leap for his life, but
every time he started his hand toward
the lever the snake anticipated the
action and showed those deadly fangs.

His companions were soon startled

gashes in his side and about his shoul-

four men rushed off in the direction

soon reached narrow passageway

a precipice thousands of feet deep.
Midway in this passage they found a
pool of blood, few shreds of a
shirt, and the signs of struggle

Standing there in silence, no one
stirred for awhile, when one of the
men started back to camp. He was
followed by the others. At camp they
heard the guides version of the af-

hunter was in front, when a mon
strous tiger sprang upon him, crush

his attention to the Mortified guide.

returned to the hunter, who had fired
