around in circles, his bowling
dying down to an agonized
Whimper. AS he swung round
aimlessly he hit a heavy
branch and toppled over, right
ing himself with the halting
movements of the sightless.
The animal was unQuestionably
blinded.
The snake had spat it's twin
streams of poison. That was
plain-though none of us had
been close enough to see the
thin lines of amber fluid shoot
through the air on their way
to their target. Having de-
livered it's blow, the cobra had
glided back under the log. It
would be another day before
his poison sacs would refill Suf-
ficiently to enable him to spit
again, but there was nothing
to prevent his striking in the
regulation manner. And it
meant death if he managed
to sink his fangs.
JOe's Threats
"He's ruined my dog, the
Shiny -" Joe yelled. "And
I'm going to bash his head
in!"
He called over some nearby
choppers. Roll that log
back!" he commanded.
DON'T" l countermanded,
waving the men away.
Turning on me angrily, Joe
cried, What do you mean
by"
He didn't trouble to finish
his sentence. If the mer
wouldn't roll the log back
and it was obvious that the>
had no desire to get so clo:a
to the snake-he would kill
the reptile where it lay, partly
visible under the log. Advanc-
ing close enough to strike, he
took a fresh grip on the heavy
stick in his hand and raised
it over his head. 1 seized him
by the arm and wrenched the
stick away.
Eyes blazing, Joe demanded
to know what I meant by pro-
tecting the grisly thing that
had blinded his dog.
Leave the snake to me,
Joe," I said. II know how to
handle these brutes. You look
after the dog. Maybe you can
save him if you act quickly"

Crop OF Rumors.
The day brought forth its Gus
tomary harvest of fantastic or mis-
guided rumors, but the things that
stood out on this the 10th day since
the kidnapping were:
The baby was stolen from Its crib
on the Sourland Mountain estate
on Tuesday evening OF last week.
He is still missing.
Thousands of clues and tips have
been Investigated and hundreds or
people interviewed.
These clues have not yielded the
baby or his kidnapers.
The Lindberghs still are ready
to nav the $4,000 ransom demand
ed, but their contacts have not
succeeded in pointing the way to
return of the child.
Hundreds of notes have come,
purporting to be from the kidnap-
ers, but recurring stories OF auth
entic notes." and telephone calls
from the kidnapers" are without
real foundation in fact.
The Lindberghs, according to Of
fetal announcement, and the I'M
official statements just after the
kidnapping, were on the ground
floor of their home when the child
was kidnapped. Reports that Mrs
Morrow was upstairs at the time
lack basis.
Henry johnson, friend of Miss
Betty Cow, the Lindbergh nurse
maid, had knowledge Of the lay
out of the Lindbergh home, but
police examination has not shaken
his alibi. He Is held for the i'm
migration department., but no
charges in connection with the kid
naping have bene made, and none

Meantime, the Lindberghs and

at restoration of the baby, with
nothing positive to show that there
had been any real contact between
the kidnapers, and the Lindberghs
