PYTHON WANTED THAT DINNER
Hungry Reptile Made Things Decided Iy Interesting for Bluejackets
 on British Gunboat.

The crew of a British gunboat in eastern waters once had lively time looking after a python on board that had escaped from its cage.
 Besides the python there was on board big Borneo orang-outang. The python, which was nineteen or twenty feet long, having dined heartily on a deer about three weeks before, began to feel its appetite returning, and in searching about its box for place Of egress, found one side in bad repair. It did not take long for that python to come through the weak part, and, quite unobtrusively, it began its per ambulations around the boat.
 Seeing the orang-outang chained up a few yards off the big snake invited itself to a dinner very much to 1ts taste. It would have been all over with the orang-outang had not the auartermaster at that moment made the discovery that the two pets were about to be merged into one. He promptly cut the orang-outang loose.
 The latter was up the mast head be- fore any mischief could be done and lieutenant, the owner of the orang- outang, the quartermaster and mem Der of the crew flung themselves upon the hungry python-one at the head another at the tail and a third in the middle.
 Then the excitement began. for the python wanted to get one of the ag- gressor's nicely in it's coils, and the men were determined that it should be kept out in something as nearly ap- preaching straight line as possible.
 For a minute it was the Laocoon group all over again, only in this case the three men and the snake were sprawling over the deck instead of standing upright in a classic attitude.
 Reenforcements, however, arrived in hot haste and about twenty bluejack- etc. each embracing a eeot of pvthop-

Sometimes she heard Pierre speaking to her, and once Nanette shook her, and seemed afraid. When she re- gained consciousness she found that the boat was in calm water. They were under the lee of an island. and the sun was low in the west.
 The sloop grounded. and Pierre. picking her up in his arms, carried her ashore and set her down on the beach. She staggered to her feet. The sloop was beached, and Leblanc and Nanette were at her side. .eBut this is not Quebeci" Marie stammered; and then, looking about in bewiiderment, she recognized where she was.
 Pierre caught her by the arm. we are not going to Quebec" he exclaimed roughly. "
 "Pferre, why are we here? I must go home. Take me homei"
 The terror of her position dawned on her. She sobbed wildly and wrung her hands. Nanette cajoled her.
 Come. don't be a little fool" she said. eve are going to stay here-the Come, then, Marie"
 She screamed wildly. Pierre ad- vanced upon her savagely with up- raised hand, but Nanette restrained him. "No, do not strike her," she pleaded.
 Come, then" growled Pierre, grasp ing her by the arms and hurrying her forward.
 She screamed again, wildly, and fought furiously for her freedom. Pierre struck her again and again :; then. lifting her into his arms, he clapped one hand across her mouth and began to carry her up the beach toward the forest

not understand quite unexpectedly rose in her throat and choked her. She wanted to call him back. She was amazed; St. Bonfface was growing dear to her. It was becoming what it had never been, her home. She looked out of her window and saw her fa- ther's schooner depart, with Tapping sails, under the moon. She pictured Baptiste asleep aboard his vessel. The little man had been kind to her. She wept.
 Presently there came the faintest tap at the door. She opened 1t noise lessly. A shadow was waiting there.
 ''Cest toi, Nanette?"
 'He is waiting for thee upon the shore. And he has brought back my lover to me, as he promised. We go to Quebec together aboard his sAiD."

just received the message from the boy, stood motionless where he had been, waiting.
 Hilary became suddenly conscious of an atmosphere of hatred. When ne reached Dupont the old man eyed him with the same searching and malignant stare that he had given him on the oc- casion of their first encounter. But now the eyes that blazed a foot from his own did not relax their gaze. There was a menace there, immediate and hostile, though the face was immobile. It flashed through Hilary's mind that the old man was mad, that his long breeding had at last broken the fragile vessel of the mind.
 Disregarding the captains look, Hilary explained briefly the matter on which he had come. All the while he spoke Dupont continued eyeing him.
 Hilary began to feel uneasy. "Well, is that clearT' he inquired.
 ''That much is clear" answered Du- pont reluctantly.
 "Weu, what's the matter, then7' de- manded Hilary sharply.
 Suddenly he perceived that the old mans face was twisted with passion. His expression was so fanatical that Hilary thought he was going to attack him.
 But then the face resumed it's mask again. Without a word, Dupont swung onto the ship and left him.
 Baptiste's vessel was moored next to the wharf. AS Dupont crossed it to reach his own, Hilary saw Baptiste on deck, bending over a tarpaulin. The two men did not speak, and Hilary, moved by sudden impulse, walked the length of the wharf and accosted the little Frenchman.
 "Baptiste," he said, "some time ago I told you I didn't know whether you had any knowledge about the cutting of my boom or not. want to say I'm sorry. know that you had none, and I shouldn't have spoken as I did" And he put out his hand.
 Baptiste looked up. The little mans face was like thundercloud. He clenched and unclenched his fists fiercely, muttering. Then he dashed Hilary's hand aside with his.
 'tI don't shake hands with you!'' he cried. and the tears began to stream

As she obeyed him he tilted the bot tie and the burning fluid ran down her throat, choking her. Pierre laughed boisterously and pressed his lips to hers.
 "Soon we shall reach Quebec, little one," he said, "and then thou shalt have thy ring"
 ''Tonight?' she faltered, with still sinking heart. He had forgiven her, then; still, everything was changed. and St. Boniface was far away across the waters.
 Surely tonight" he answered, wink ing at Leblanc, and took the tiller again.
 Marie's head swan, the boat seemed spinning round; she lay in the cabin, conscious vaguely of Leblanc and Nanette beside her, laughing and mak- ing love. Hours passed before she realized completely where she was.

When Brousseau, driving furiously homeward from the Chateau, reached the cottage of Jules Dupont, he saw the solitary figure of the girl Marie seated outside the door. He let his horse rest for breathing spell before continuing up the hill, doffed his hat and saluted her.
 "Bonjour, Mademoiselle Dupont" he called heartily.
 "Bonjour, Monsieur Brousseau," she answered mechanically.
 Brousseau had never been able to force a smile from her lips. For a long time he had dreaded this silent girl, then he had ceased to think about her; of late he had again begun to hate the presence of that lonely figure upon the porch, which was always there whenever he drove into St. Boni- face or back to his garish house by the seashore.
 The cure had not told Hilary all that related to the old captains history. But the thread of madness that linked him to the past was spreading into a web that strangled the normal life of the man. Jules Dupont, never one of many words, had been more sulIen and morose than ever of late.
 During the past week Marie had been terrified at the way her father looked at her. He had never meant very much to her and now, when he was about to pass out of her life, she felt no regret.
 Her mind went travelling back to her earliest memory. She was on the sea- shore with her mother. watching for the return of the fishing fleet, and her fathers boat, and on the shingle lay the sailing boat of young student from Quebec whom she had seen often at their cottage during her fathers absence. The young man was laugh ingfy inviting her mother to go for a sail. At last the girl consented.
 The sail was a very, long one. Little Marie, who had fallen asleep, was awakened by the sound of her moth CTS screaming and the young students laughing protestations that 1t was too late in the day to return now. She did not understand all that was said, and her next memory was of a squalid lodging in Quebec, and her mothers tear-stained face, and a sense of un- happiness.
 Then she was back in the cottage. standing beside the bed on which her

reduced the reptile to comparative quiet. The procession marched back to the python's box, coiled the crea- ture inside and shut 1t up. But the orang-outang sat aloft at the masthead long time before he came to the con- clusion that he was not the menu for the day.
