THE COBRA
By Argwicke Fuiles.

TWAS o'clock in the afternoon when
we all gathered on the piazza of the
majors bungalow a few miles from
Bombay With the exception of our
host none of US had ever seen any of
the tricks of the real indian fakirs, so
We were naturally quite excited.
Captain Goring, young officer. who
had only been a few months in India,
laughed at the idea of any of these men
possessing occult powers, while Jermyn.
the engineer who was somewhat of a
scientist. played with a small koda k
hidden in an ordinary cigar box be-
cause of the natives dislike of photOg
raphy.
On the laFn outside stood two shabby
men in the dazzling sunshine. These
two were famous magicians invited by
the major to convert the doubling Cor
ing.
Their preparations weer very simple,
and their apparatus consisted merely
of a small basket and a little bundle of
clothes. Upon a signal from the ma
jor one of the magicians, gray haired
old indian, put his head into the basket
and drew forth a large cobra whose
forked tongue played In the sunlight.
The other magician whistled softly and
the cobra began to sway gently in time
with the tune. At the same time we
heard the clicking of Jermyn's camera
The music grew wilder and little by
little the dancing cobra began TO be
transformed into a woman who cOntin-
ued dancing as had done the snake
1 remember Jermyn afterwards com
pared his sensations to a chlorofOrm
halIucination, which seems to indicate
that he at least kept his head clear. As
for myself, 1 remember only dimly hear
ing the click of the camera as the trans
formation took place.
Suddenly the music stopped and the
girl stood in front of US draped only
in a black veil. She dropped the veil
and we saw her face and shuddered
Her dark eyes scanned our faces and
fastened On Goring Her beauty was
unearthly but more fascinating than
that of any woman ever saw-a
strange wild satanic beauty, which cut
into ones heart and aroused the widest
desires in ones head.
The sight kept us spelIbound: we
were all bereft of the use of our senses
with the exception Of Jermyn. AN err
gineer is a hopeless subject when he
can see no beauty in anything but rail
his wife as "old friend" and calls his
locomotive "she" Jermyn was cool
enough 70 take photograph.
The girl came nearer her~-eyes con-
stantly riveted on Goring's face He
gave a sharp cry, half in fear. half in
joy and went to meet her with open
arms
Her face was dazzling white, but her
eyes looked like glowing Goals at the
bottom of two deep wells. She stretch
ed out her hands towards Goring-and
disappeared.
We awoke from our, dreamlike condi-
tion with a start. The ajOr rubbed his
eyes and sighed. Perhaps it was well
that his wife. who was red and fat. did
not hear that sigh. Jermyn, whose
hands were shaking, asked for a whis-
ky and soda and said he felt rather
shaky.
Gorinp said nothing. He was reclin-
ing in his chair and stared with wild
eyes towards the place where the girl
had disappeared. In the sunshine out

You are right. Mrs Belmont. They
do not. They give them an Indecent

no not go through the world talk
ing poverty and asking every one
you deal with to show you special
consideration because you are poor
and unfortunate"
If you do this with an idea of saving
a few dollars here and there, you will
always have to do it, because you are
creating poverty conditions by your
constant assertions.
1t is a curious fact that the people

Don't Whine Over Poverty.
If you cannot afford to do certain
things. or buy certain objects, don't.
But when you decide you must decide.
too, that you will pay the price, and
make no whining plea of poverty.
There are two extremes of people in
the world, one as distasteful as The
other One is represented by the man
who boasts of the costline.;s Of every
provision, and invites the whole VIZ I'D
to behold his opulence and cxrendi-
lures.
His clothes, his house, his servants,
his habits seem no different to the OBJ
server from his neighbor's, yet, accord
ing to the story, they cost 10 times the
amount.
The other extreme is the man Who
dresses well, lives well, enjoys all the
comforts and pleasures Of his associ-
ates, yet talks poverty continually and
expects the entire community to show
him consideration in consequence.
Another thing to avoid is the role of
the chronically injured person.
We all know him.
The Man With a Grievance.
He has a continual grievance. He
insulted, disappointed and deceived. We
wonder how or why he has managed
to exist as we listen to the story of
his troubles
No one person treats him fairly.
