LOST SLEEP OVER NOTHING
eHp'erers Story Of a Bad Night He
Spent In Venezuela Makes
Amusing Reading.

william J. La varre. Jr., who dis
covered diamonds in South America.
tells as follows OF an exciting adven-
tnre he had in Venezuela, says the
Worlds Work.
The nearest l have ever come to
catching up with adventure was Just
over the boundary in Venezuela when
sought the hospitality of night at
the cabin of Spanish ranchero in the
mountains. he provided me with food
and shelter and / tried to convince
him that I was comforting as much
distinction on him as he was confer
ring kindness on me by showing him
. letter Of recommendation from the
President Of his country. I then dis
covered that my host was revolu-
Zionist and one Of the Presidents bit
terest enemies. He did not withdraw
his hospitality, however, SO l swung
my hammock on his porch and was
about to drop off to sleep when I over
heard him and a companion talking
In low tones. Their concluding remark
In Spanish was: I'VE won't kill him
till morning" I spent an almost
sleepless night with my revolver
thrust In the breast Of my shirt and
with one eye always half open for
trouble. In the gray of the dawn ]
saw a figure emerge from the house
carrying in its hand a glittering rifle
barrel. carefully got my pistol ready
for action and kept 1t trained on the
figure without shifting my position in
the hammock. The figure advanced to
the edge Of the porch, turned Its back
to me, took firing position and bszed
away. Instantly loud squeals from the
brush resounded and to my immense
relief 1 learned that the discussion Of
the night before referred to the pig
which was to be slaughtered for my
breakfast.
