 .aought was whip. He got down
 and started to pick it up when black
 aake hve feet long curled itself around
 s arm With the hideous head with
 riue iopen mouth stuck within
 eS Inches of his face the mans nerves
 ave way and with a shriek of terror
 - ran toward the team in which his
 onpanion, Henry Pearl, was sitting.
 eaoy cried out to Pearl to pull the
 aa nase on his arm; but Pearl was not
 uen oi snake charmer, either, and
 % lepiy was a yell, followed by
 .p 70 the ground. Cut of from all
 n,n n',,sIance, Deadly collapsed and passed
 an unconscious state. The snake
 en ,oa gracefully disentangled itself

 .S several minutes before Deadly
 ane back to his senses.
