In a sort Of paradise valley. One day

He lay for a moment fascinated, hor-

see the reptiles head, and he moved
nearer, nolselessly, yet quickly, dread
ing some movement on my part that
should precipltate the very thing he
dreaded, and then he saw that 1t was
not a snake at all--only the black and
yellow stripe Of my blanket, which
gently rose and fell as breathed.
Had he fired-well, 1t might have been
bad for me, for he confessed that his
