"Risk!" said 1, laughing. "There's
no risk at ALL"
They shrugged their shoulders and
sat gazing into the fire in silence.
They both looked sad and Worried
blaming themselves, l thought. for
having unintentionally pushed me on
TO make foolhardy venture
The next morning at an early hour
we set out for the river
The way those two Indians pleaded
with me not to let the sleeper bite me
was most pathetic. and this great
fear of theirs for my sake only made
me the more determined to be bitten
Tor their sakes. 1 confess I don't
hanker after bit from any creature.
but owed a debt OF gratitude to
these two brothers. who had carefully
tended me when / was Ill with ague
In the mountains; and it was too bad
that they should oftentimes lose val
uaole orchids because one of those
harmless snakes lay coiled in the
nearby branches.
We soon came to the river, and as
we had no canoe, we had to make
our way along the bank, which was
no easy matter. as there was such n
thick growth of vines in some places
that for many yards we never touched
ground at all We walked and crept
over the matted tangle.

get that snake, anyway. because he
looks different from those l nave
caught before"
why, hombre," said Cipriano.
how are you going to get him?
Don't you see that his bamboo
reaches out from the farther side,
so that he hangs just over mid
stream? 'Tis long pole that would
reach out to where he is. You can't
get at him. And unless you can make
the snake come over to you, 1 don't
see how you are going to get him"
Ahai" said 1. You've Just re-
minded me how to do 1t. I'll make
that snake come right over here to
me. But both OF you will have to
help me-"
"Senor, I'll help . on one condi-
ton, and that is If u promise to
catch him without letting him bite
you"
All right" said I. al promised"
Now the river was fully sixty feet
across, and as the bamboo. in the
tip-end branches of which the snake
was coiled, hung out over the water
to about midstream, that would make
the distance between us and the snake
about thirty feet
The plan which 1 was now about
to try had used before on the Caroni
River, in the Island OF Trinidad, and
l felt sure of success If L could de-
pend on the steadiness of nerve and
the strict obedience of my two red
skinned companions.
Look here!" said I. CT will do
what I've said If you will obey me
exactly In what I'll tell you to do.
There will be no danger whatever to
either of you, or to me, either. I'll

not allow the snake to get at any time
nearer to you than fifteen feet.
Yes, yes!" said they. "Well do
carefully and exactly all you tell US. I"
First of ALL" said I, "weI cut
two bamboo poles, long. but light and
easy to handle"
So, in the bamboo clump behind
us, picked out the poles 1 needed.
Cipriano cut one and 1 the other.
When trimmed OF leaves and branches
each pole was somewhat over thirty
feet long and fairly easy to handle,
although, being green, they were not
by any means as light as fishing rods.
Sharpening the butt of one of
these, / stuck it firmly in the bank
near the edge of the water, and then
leaned 1t over till it's very tip was
just above the snake and among the
tops of the leaves and branches in
which he lay. From the snake to the
water was about ten feet.
Calling the Indians over to me. |
got them both to lay hold of the
leaning bamboo, and told them to
hold 1t exactly in the same position.
Taking up my own pole, l carefully
advanced its tapering top toward the
snake. Very gently indeed 1 ad-
vanced it; and / held it more steady
and advanced it more gently as ]
slowly pushed it in among the
branches
With the slightest movement OF my
wrist 1 made its top give the snake
Just the faintest little poke
He woke up at once and shot out
his head to see what was the. matter

where it was-almost touching him

somewhat farther, as much as to say
Yes. something did certainly toucl
me-"
A few seconds more elapsed, and
gave him another little poke; where
upon he seemed to say to himself
Dear ME. now this is really too

Any moment we might have stun
bled on a boa constructor or anaconda,
or laid a hand or foot on a fer-de-
lance or a bushmaster. All these
reptiles frequent the river bank. The
two Indians knew the danger along
the river bank as we'll as I did, so we
all kept silence and went on slowly,
with eyes and ears alert for every
sound or motion.
We must have gone on thus for
fully two hours without seeing any
snakes. Then we came to long
stretch of open ground.
About a hundred yards down.
stream there were tall bamboos way
ing their feathery tops on the hither
as we'll as on the farther bank. Tired
with scrambling through the thicket,
we sat DOWN in the shade of those
bamboos to rest.
The river tumbled noisily by us.
1t was in food; and on it's yellow
water driftwood and floating rubbish
went bounding swiftly seaward. And
while we sat watching the tossing
waters, a great alligator came floating
round the bend. We sat quite still
while he passed; and he probably
sever saw us, for he lay there lazily
on the billowy surface, and allowed
himself to be carried along as IL he
were enjoying toboggan ride. If
he had seen us he would doubtless
have gone under.
This ought to be a good place to
come upon sleeper" said Cipriano
as he paused and looked about him.
Yes" 1 replied. 'I've often seen
them in bamboos-and just lookI

might refuse me their assistance in
catching the snake, because of their
anxiety for my safety, ~I want to
