PYTHON WANTED THAT DINNER
Hungry Reptile Made Things Decided
ly Interesting for BIuejackets
on British Gunboat.

The crew of a British gunboat in
eastern waters once had lively time
looking after python on board that
had escaped from its cage.
Besides the python there was on
board a 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 it's 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-
ambuIations around the boat.
Seeing the orang-outang chained up
a few yards off the big snake invited
itself to a dinner very much to its
taste. 1t 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 NO. cad be-
fore any mischief could be tone and a
lieutenant, the owner Of the orang-
outang, the quartermaster and men,
Der of the crew flung themselves upon
the hungry python-one at the head
another at the tail and third in the
middle.
Then the excitement began, for the
python wanted to get one of the ag-
gressor's nicely in its coils, and the
men were determined that it should be
kept out in something as nearly ap-
preaching a straight line as possible.
For a minute it was the LAGOON
group all over again, only In this case
the three men and the snake were
sprawling over the deck instead Of
standing upright in classic attitude.
Reenforcements, however, arrived in
hot haste and about twenty bluejack-
etc, each embracing foot Of python.

| just received the message from the
boy, stood motionless where he had
been, waiting.
hilary became suddenly conscious of
an atmosphere of hatred. When he
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 foot from
MS own did not relax their gaze. There
was a menace there, immediate and
hostile, though the face was immobjle.
IL flashed through Hilary's mind that
the old man was mad, that his long
brooding 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
ne spoke Dupont continued cycling him.
Hilary began to feel uneasy. "Wen,
is that clear?" he inquired.
THAT much Is clear" answered Du-
pont reluctantly.
wen, what's the matter. thenY" 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 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 a sudden impulse,
walked the length Of the wharf and
accosted the little Frenchman.
"Baptiste," he said, "some time ago
L told you l 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
/ shouldn't have spoken as l did"
And he put out his hand.
Baptiste looked up. The little mans
face was like a thundercloud. He
clenched and unclenched his fists
fiercely, muttering. Then he dashed
Hilary's hand aside with his.
81 don't shake hands with your' he
cried. and the tears began to stream

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

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.
'But this is not Quebec" Marie
stammered; and then, looking about in
bewiderment, she recognized where
she was.
Pierre caught her by the arm. I'VE

roughly.
"Pierre, why are we here? 1 must
go home. Take me homer
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. 1--WE are going to stay here-the
four Of us. 1t will be like picnic.
Come, then, Marie"
She screamed wildly. Pierre ad-
vanced upon her savagely with up
raised hand, but Nanette restrained
him. mo, do not strike her." she
pleaded.
"Come, them" 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.

throat, choking her. Pierre laughed
boisterously and pressed his lips to

out of her window and saw her ia

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 it noise
lessly. A shadow was waiting there.
"Cest tot, Nanette?"
He is waiting for thee upon the
shore. And he has brought back my
lover to me, as he promised. We 60 to

down his cheeks. You keep out o.

And he rushed below, leaving Hilar,
utterly nonplussed at his behavior.
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, dotted 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 sullen 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 single lay
the sailing boat of a young student
from Quebec whom she had seen often
at their cottage during her fathers
absence. The young man was laugh
ingly inviting her mother to go for a
sail. At last the girl consented.
The sail was very long one. Little
Marie. who had fallen asleep, was
awakened by the sound of her moth
er's 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 squalsl
lodging in Quebec, and her mothers
tear-stained face, and sense Of un
happiness.
Then she was back In the cottage,
standing beside the bed on which her

to the python's box, coiled the crea-

a long time before he came to the con-
clusion that he was not the menu for
