"Snake!" cried Fitch. That's not

terrible cobra di capello, Of Hindo-

the beginning of the end-the way to

Hurt much?" asked the detective,
coolly.
1T is said to be the most frightful
torture man can eXperience-death by
a cobra's poison. Science has not yet
found an %antidote. If a RATHER bites
you, you may ave your life with

and nobody knows whether it would do
any good if you had time to drink it,
A long low whistle was the detec'
tive's only expression of his apprecia'
ton Of their predicament. His study
of Oriental lore did not acquaint him
with the characteristics of the cobra
But the doctor was a scientist, and
Britz was willing to take the informa'
ton on trust. 1t was a situation In
which he felt he could afford to dis
pense with experimental knowledge.
The thick, beautifully rounded snake

Fitch, and even Britz felt a little un
comfortable under the serpent's gilt
tering gaze. The creature coiled itsel
in the center of the floor, its head lift
ed, and those beady eyes twinklini
furiously. Then began a motion of thu
head like that of a waterspout to
point at least knee-high of a tall mar
The head bent forward slightly, a

swered Britt, feeling in his pockets,
but l laid it on that table when 1 was
going through those drawers. Pretty
careless, eh?"
Fitch nodded. He was racking his
wits for some a of escape which
meant, so far as he could see, a meth
cd of killing the snake. 1t seemed use
less to expect help from outside the
house. The door between the hall and
the room in which they were was
closed, and before it hung portieres
heavy enough to muffie their loudest
shouts. Their only probable chance OF
relief lay in the hope that the blue
coat would become sufficiently anxious
at their failure to return and would
enter the house In quest Of them.
Even in that rather remote contin

cobra could glide across the room and
strike him to death. No, they were
thrown utterly Upon their w re

on that point, as in low tones, so that
they might not further infiame the ser
pent, they discussed their situation.
Guess there's nothing academia

would come here, and so they arranged

columns as one of the successes of the
season."
He made light of the danger because
that was his way when he was in
particularly tight place; but he rea
lized the peril by this time as fully az
did the doctor. There was nothing hu
morous in the fact that all the time
they were held prisoners atop the chit
fonier by the gray death before them
the Hindoos were doubtless making the
most of the time thus gained for es
cape. True, he had asked that all the
ordinary Of escape from thu
city be watched. and although he tool
it for granted Chief Manning woult
carry out the request co~nscientiously
he was not at all confident the mel
sent from the Central Office and from
the various precinct ~headquarter
would be proof against the adroitnes
of Indian noblemen, adopts, and thugs
Moreover. it was es good as certain
that the Swami, the Prince, and thei
followers would not seek to flee tn

MASTERS And BRlCKLAYERS AGREE
No Increase in Wage Scale BUT Bricklayers Can Have
Saturday Afternoon Off Without Pay.

Before special meeting of the
Bricklayers and Piasterers' union, To-
cal No Il, held Saturday evening in
G. L. z. hail, at which National Vice
President George Thornton was pres
ent, the answer of the master n1asons
and contractors was received to the
notice sent them recently of the de-
sire of the journeymen for new wage
schedule and an agreement was reach
ed. By the terms agreed upon, it was
stated Sunday night by representatives
of the union, "A hours instead of As
will constitute 2 weeks work, thereby
enabling the men to have the Satur-
day half-holiday which they did not
have before. but the wages will re-
main at the same rate of so cents per
hour. By the new arrangement the
men will work A hours per week for
$22, where they used to work As hours
a week for $24.
National Vice President Thorton
met the master masons in two con-
ferences on Thursday and Friday, in
which the local situation was thor
oughly discussed. The men had made
a demand for 44-hour week, with
Doodle pay for Saturday afternoon
work, and a raise in wages from so
cents per hour to 55 cents. The local
master masons took the ground that
conditions here at present did not
warrant any raise in the wage SEIZED

Red Pepper Of Snuff Caused Epidemic
of Sneezing in Froehlichkeit Hall.

There was largely attended dance
given on Saturday evening in Froeh-

Gently as a benefit society among the
Polish people. This was their f1rst
dance and was successfully carried
out with a programme for which the
Pulaski band played from Z O'Clock
until midnight. The officers of the
society who were in charge of the
dance were the following: President,
A. Grzimnowski; vice president, y

Late in the evening an epidemic of
sneezing suddenly seized almost ev-

thought came from somebody sprink-

BAD BRUSH FIRES
KEEP FIREMEN BUSY.
Much Scrub Woodland Burned Over
North OF Starr Street-6laze on
HinckIey Hill.

1t was impossible to stop the prog
ress of the big brush fire which, burn
ed over the scrub woodland north of
Starr street on Sunday. How the fire
started is not known but it burned
from Starr street to Love lane. The
Barrows land was burned over, going
as far west as the James woods, while
to the east it burned all the afternoon
and evening, making a bright refiec-
ton at night and causing many in
quiries. The Cross property was also
burned oyer.
The firedepartment was called upon
and twelve men from Chemical COM
pany No. and Engine company No. 1
were sent there, where they spent a
number of hours looking after the
property inside the city limits, it being
impossible to do anything further
Hose was laid for long distance and
the home OF Albert L. Potter was pro-
tected, as was that of G.. w. Cross,
they having the only buildings in thu
sweep of the flames. The grounds
about their buildings were wet down
thoroughly.
Saturday afternoon Engine company
No. 1 was called to Hinckley Hill,
where there was a large grass and
brush fire which kept the firemen busy
for some time. The fire started from
bonfire which had been left and the
wind spring up soon scattered 1t
broadcast. The department has had
more calls for brush and grass fires
this spring than ever before and in all
directions there could be seen on Sun
day the smoke of other fires.
At Quaker Hill there was big blaze
while fires on Sunday burned over
several hundred acres of woodland in
the towns of East Lyme and Water
ford, doing damage estimated at sew
eraI thousands of dollars. In several
instances barns were endangered. but
large forces of men fighting the flames
saved them. 1t is not known how the
fires started
