The Rattlesnake

We were camped beside a
lake, by a eucalyptus tree !;
some one hollered. There's a
snake! It's a rather! Hully
cheep' Then we dropped our
divers chores in the twinkling
of an ear: sane and useful tasks
are bores when a rattlesnake is
near. And we formed ring
around, round the human races
foe, and our fingers ciawed the
ground for some powders we
might throw. And we threw,
with bated breath, at five feet
of writhing sin; battle, murder,
sudden death, done up in a mot
tied skin! Rocks were flying
thick and fast, some thrown
crooked, others straight; and
the serpent, to the last, dared us
with a deathless hate. He is
Ishmael, this snake, with his
rattles on behind, which, when
playing tunes, can wake terrors
in the bravest mind. Harried to
the barren lands, driven from
the field and farm, even snakes
of other brands view the RATHER
with alarm. He has not a friend
at court, where snake advocates
appear, but he is a dead game
sport, and stranger to all fear.
And / felt a sense of shame
when we'd killed that notified
thing; we had played tinhorn
game, throwing powders in a
ring. And the recollection
makes lukewarm pains slide
down my neck; even when we're
killing snakes craftsmanship
should be on deck.

RUBY Is JULY BIRTHSTONE
Gem Has Been Associated Through the
Centuries With Some Remarkably
Quaint Superstitions.

The ruby is the birthstone of July.
1t was associated In ancient times with
many queer superStitiOns. How these
old fancies originated or how they
could have been palmed off on the pub
lie 1t is difficult to imagine. The fact
that the common people had implicit
faith in them proves how very much
more credulous the world once was
than it is today.
For instance, the ancients believed
that if ruby were worn about the
neck it conferred tie power of seeing
In the dark. One wonders what mon
umental faker started this absurd con-
ceit and for what purpose. It was gen.
orally believed, however, possibly be-
cause rubies were costly and the COM
mon people could not test the matter
for themselves. - 49,.
The ruby also was supposed to be n
tallsman against evil spirits, the
plague and poison. BY the deepening
OF its color 1t forewarned its wearer
against impending misfortune. If tied
upon the forehead in linen cloth II
was believed to be specific for dis
ease of the eye.-BrookIyn Eagle.

Amy slipped away and gllded out
into the room behind the parlor as
Clinton took another step toward the
han door. BENIN set himself directly
in the way.
Hold on, old man." he advised.
AS your friend, y'know. / really can't

Clinton put out his hand to push
him away. BENIN caught him by the
wrist In viselike grasp. CIlnton's
face went white; his eyes shone like
sunlit Ice. He spoke In very low and
quiet tone: "You fool. There are
ladies present Let CO."
"Sot unless you give me your word

Clinton made an attempt to wrest
himself free. BENIN held him fast
with unexpected strength. But he
made the mistake Of permitting q
shade Of irony 70 appear in his suaye
smile. The look In his prisoners eyes
warned him 70 guard himself. He
flung up his right arm with the quick
ness OF an expert boxer. Clinton was
fraction Of second quicker. His
elenched left hand drove in over the
upswinging arm and encountered
Bemm's chin. Stunned by the blow,
BENIN swayed backward and would
have fallen heavily had not Clinton
eased him to the floor.
Ellen uttered stltled shrek. Clin-
ton Strengthened up from beside the
white-faced inert interferer and
looked apologetically at the girl and
her equally startled mother.

The cold anger and determination
OF the young mans tone struck speech
less even the physician and the debo-
nair BENIN. Ellen looked helplessly
from her father to her equally mute
mother. The hush that had fallen
upon them was broken by the quiet
voice of Amy, asking in matter-of-
fact tone: when did you say your

Clinton, frowning at BENIN.
