Somewhat" rejoined Fitch. "We're
here to stay unless that reptile goes.''
Can we kill 1t. do you think?" asked
the detective.
I'VE might II we had machine gun
have you got pistol?"
| II brought one into the ROOM" an
swered Britz, feeling in his pockets,
'but laid It on that table when was
going through those drawers. Pretty
careless, eh?"
Fitch nodded. He was racking his
wits for some means OF escape which
meant, so far as he could see, q meth
cd OF killing the snake. Itseemed 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 mufiie their loudest
shouts. Their only probable chance Of
relief lay in the hope that the blue
coat would become suflciently anxious
at their failure to return and would
enter the house In quest of them.
Even In that rather remote contin-
gency, however. 1t was far from GER
tain they could warn him before the
cobra could glide across the room and
strike him to death. No, they were
thrown utterly upon their own re-
sources. Britz agreed with the doctor
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 accidental
about this little sunshine being in the
ROOM" said Britz musingly. Those
Oriental strong-armers probably fig-
ured 1t out that one or both of US
would come here, and so they arranged
this pleasing little surprise party. I
think 1t is worthy place in the society
columns as one of the successes of the
season"
He made light OF the danger because
that was his way when he was in a
particularly tight place: but he rea-
lized the peril by this time as fully as
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 avenues OF escape from the
city be watched, and although he took
1t for granted Chief Manning would
carry out the request conscientiously,
he was not at all confident the men
sent from the Central ONCE and from
the various precinct headquarters
would be proof against the adroitness
Of Indian noblemen, adopts. and thugs.
Moreover, 1t was as good az certain
that the Swami. the Prince. and their
followers would not seek to Zee the
city by any ordinary route. Britz him.
self, had he been free to continue the
pursuit, would have looked first to the
most extraordinary modes OF flight
compatible with practical conditions.
From what he knew of the men, by
this time 1t would not amaze him
greatly to find they had left the city
by airship or submarine, slightly i'm.
probable as either means OF transit
might have been few years be-
fore.

A long low whistle was the detec-

Of Oriental lore did not acquaint him
with the characteristics OF the cobra.
But the doctor was scientist, and
Britz was willing to take the inforna-
tion on trust. 1t was situation In
which he felt he could afford to dis
pense with experimental knowledge.
The thick. beautifully rounded snake,
ashen In color and sinuous OF move

even by the swing Of the d!van under

/ until you are satisfied that they have
no cOntag ious disease
The same course should be followed
in handling your own stock If a sick
bird appears, take it away from the
rest Of the flock to treat it, if you feel
disposed to doctor it. Do not put it
back until the traces of disease are
entirely banished. If it is badly af-
fected, the safest method is to use the
Ratchet and bury deep.
Too close confinement in small
houses not admitting sufficient air is
a common cause Of disease. Let every
thing be airy and full of sunshine if
possible. A simple way to test the air
of closed hen house is to place a
lighted lamp in it, if the flame burns
clearly and brightly the air is pure
enough at that time for the fowls
If it burns dimly and feebly, there
is 9 lack of oxygen in the air and more
ventilation is needed. This is more es-
pecially a test for closed houses at
night in cold weather, of course

disease germs that may appear. II
is essential that the average man
should know that stagnant pools,
garbage heaps, impure air, damp
houses and coops are all favorable
breeding places for the disease
germs and hostile to the health of
poultry.
The matter resolves itself into the
question whether the poultryman shall
look well to all of the sanitary condi-
tons surrounding his poultry and in
thus doing prevent nine-tenths of the
disease that might appear in the flock
or neglect all matters and attempt to
doctor the sick and run the risk of
losing large per cent.
Preventive measures not only include
sanitary measures, but the starting
with healthy stock, and if any new
ones are to be purchased, the re-
plenishing of the flock only after the
