selves toward my eyes in an
almost overwhelming desire to
scratch and rub, and it was
only by concentration of will
power that 1 was able to keep
them down, realizing that my
only hope of safety lay in not
giving the poison a chance to
penetrate the skin.
In the course Of that tor
tured journey from the snakes
box to the open air a dozen
eternities seemed to elapse. All
the time I was in the clutch OF
a terrible fear-the fear OF
death or permanent blindness.
The picture that arose in my
mind was of Joe Winters
moaning Airedale after he had
been struck by cobra poison,
and of his quick death.
1 walked on, each step seem
ing to take a year as I picked
my way along that miserable
floor. Finally, after more time
seemed to pass than I had put
in altogether on the earth, I
could hear the squawking OF
the cockatoos and I knew was
nearing the door. Once there,
yelled for Ali. No answer.
I yelled again, and I'm sure
the cry must have burst most
of the eardrumS in Katong.
A Terrific Pain
My eyes burned with a new
intensity as I came out into the
sunlight and stood there wait
ing for the boy to appear. 1t
was the worst pain I had ever
suffered. Again I concentrated
my will in an effort to keep my
hands from going up to rub my
eyes.
Finally, I heard Ali's bare feet
shuffling on the pathway and
the question, "Apa eni, tuan.
apa eni?" What's the matter,
master? What's the matter?~
I quickly told him. The boy
set up a characteristic wailing.
I would never see him again, he
said.
Then he noticed my hands go
up to protect my eyes from the
burning sun. This galvanized
him into action. He did not
propose to let me scratch my
self. He grasped my hands and
held them firmly down at my
waist.
"Take hold Of my arm" I
ordered, "and get me to the
house" I described a boric-
acid bottle in my medicine
chest and sent him for it. He

Lynn, close on Dwight's heels,
exclaimed relievedly, "Oh, it's

open we were afraid someone
had broken in"
She was flushed, but her eyes
were tired. Sarah said evenly:

"Rawlson knew"

Sarah was remembering
Dwight's question; her answer,
abStractedly given. She had
seen Dwight and Bob Rawlson
talking one day on the main
banking floor in a corner,
apart. Dwight had done we'll
lately. She had heard he was
going abroad on a long vaca-
ton.
But how on earth had Dwight
first stumbled across Rawlson's
path?
She asked Tom suddenly, do
you know where Bob Rawlson
liveS?"
why, yes," he answered; "it
isn't far from here. Why?"
Go there" ordered Sarah,

Sarah, and rose.
Tom knew he could trust her.
He left and went out to find
Bob RawlSon.
Sarah went downstairs and
spoke to the superintendent,
who knew her intimacy with
Lynn. She had, she told him,
an urgent message to give the
younger woman. She wanted
to wait in Lynn'S room until
she came in. Incurious, the

There's certainly a fashion
story in fabric gloves this year,
but there's another story that
carries with it a warning, and
so let's get the disagreeable part
over with first, then go on to
the more pleasant points. The
warning is that cheap fabrics
do not wear we'll. Not only do
they wear out at points OF
rubbing, but they get fuzzy and
lose their shape early in their
career, so that you get neither
Smartness nor long life from
them. Gloves must be washed
frequently, so it's well worth
while to buy good ones. This
isn't as bad as it sounds,
though, for all season there
have been good fabrics in all
the stores for ST., which isn't
too much to pay for a good
article.
Fabrics Go Everywhere
The fashion story on fabrics
is that they are smart practi-
cally everywhere. You're fa-
miliar with them for sports, on
the street, for travelling, and all
general daytime wear. This

cuff gloves for afternoon wear
too. or rather neat types to
wear with Short-sleeved trocKS.
The mesheS are for sports or
with sports-like clothes. Plque-
trimmed gloves are for street,
or with simple daytime clothes.
Fine fabrics, in white or egg
shell, made without conSplcu-
GUS stitching, can be worn Tor

should be bought with dlscre-

frock in mind, but are very
smart when they accompany

CHAPTER 20

Ali had received instructions
to equip the splitting cobra's box
with q water tin. Perhaps the
Job was one he had no desire
to tackle after seeing what the
snake had done to Joe Winters
dog.
I decided to do the job myself.
My first move was to get the
burlap Sacking which I always
keep near a box of this kind.
Next l secured the empty sar-
dine tin that I would stuff un-
der the wire as soon as / PRED
the burlap over the wire, I went
to work with a pair Of pliers. I
moved the sacking back an inch
or so to get at one Of the sta
pies, and I remember the Kissing
Of the creature inside as did
It. What happened next I'll
never be sure Of. I recall a
hairy arm reaching out from
the orang'S cage in an effort to
reach the burlap. I yelled at
the ape in an effort to scare
him off. The next thing knew
my eyes were suddenly burning,
as if they had been doused with
vitrol. was blinded. The cobra
had spat his venom into my
eyes.
AS long as I live I shall never
forget the strange and awful
sensation I experienced when I
suddenly found myself sightless.
Never was I more thoroughly
Scared-and I'm not ashamed
to admit it.
Frantic Work
Yet my first thought was not
of myself, but Of the cobra. Had
1t already escaped from the
box? If not, would it find the
opening I had left in the cor
ner, and get out shortly? AL
most automatically went
through the motions Of sealing
up the hole in the netting.
Frantically feeling my way I
yanked the sack back over the
box and pushed a wad of the
burlap into the opening. The
cobra's kissing informed me
that it was still inside. How
could 1 keep that burlap in
place. how could I weight it
down so that the snake could
not work it's way out? I re-
membered a brick that had
been lying on the floor and I
reached down, fumbling for it.
Finally I located it by the SIM
pie process of stumbling against
it..
Having deposited the brick on
top of the burlap, my next
move was to find my way out
of the shed without getting any
where near the orang's cage.
My eyes burned horribly as I
tried to calculate my steps and
my direction. I could hear the
orang sucking in wind and
grunting, this animals favorite
method Of expressing anger, but
without my eyesight I was not
sure how close I was to him.

An opening bid of Heart must
be made under either system of
bidding, and the responding
hand must bid clubs. Under

Suit rules only 2-Clubs must be
bid. Having a good five-card
suit, and no second suit to
show, the hearts must be re-
bid. Having a good picture of

spending hand now urges a
slam attempt, by jumping to
5-Hearts. The declarer should

bids first the longer of two

equal length he first bids the
suit of higher value. To hold
down bidding the responding
hand at times alters the custom
of first showing the longer Of
two suits.
When the two suits held by
the responding hand come in
sequence (as spades and hearts,
hearts and diamonds, or dia-

z. Heart; Y, 2-Clubs (first
bidding the longer of two suits
in sequence); z, 3-Clubs; Y,
3-Diamonds; 2, 5-ClubS. A
small slam was made, only be-
cause the opening lead was a
spade, later on allowing one
losing diamond to be discarded
upon the declarer's K of spades.
In the next hand Y holds
two suits of equal length, not
in sequence. AS his partner
may hold a biddable diamond
suit, coming between Y's hearts
and clubs, Y bid 2-ClubS over
rs opening bid of 1-Spade.
When z assisted with 3-Cluhs,
Y bid 3-Hearts. z bid 4-Clubs,
to discover which suit Y pre-
ferred. Y bid 4-Hearts, to show
that both his suits contained at

MIRROR OF THE COMMUNITY

Quoting from the Texas Com mercial News, the LeavenwortlI Echo contends that a communi-
 ty may cover up evidence of it's decay but there is one thing that will let the cat out of the bag despite everything and that is lthe newspaper. The Echo says a newspaper is the mirror of the community and if the town is dead, it's guant, grinning skele- ton will stare out at you from every column, from the banner head on page one to the last filler.
 That does not mean the news paper is dead. Some of the best newspapers are published in towns not entitled to any kind Of a newspaper but such condi- tions do not last long because a newspaper is a business enter prise and if run at a loss, it too must fail.
 "The cost of news production is higher now than at any time because more is demanded of the newspaper. The cleanest and newsiest newspaper without ads denotes a dead town. If the business people are not liberally represented in the advertising columns of the local newspaper, 1t is a reflection on the enter prise and progress of the com |nunity."- Exchange.

SEATTLE FUR EXCHANGE REORGANIZED INTO STRONG

Alaska Profits by Henry Wagner'S Association With

| The Exchange"
 stockholder and officer of the company. Mike" as he is famili- arly known, has a wide experi- fence in the handling and grad ling of raw furs. This is a valu- able esset in that it insures the shipper the highest price ob- tainable for his raw furs.
 Under the new management, the Seattle Fur Exchange be-. comes increasingly important as a sales agency for Alaska furs. Seattle is the logical United States port and is, through the Seattle Fur Exchange, closely connected with eastern markets. It can be said that the establish ment of the Exchange" has greatly helped to connect Alas Ra and her fur products with the great fur consuming centers Of the world. Now amply capital ized, plans will go forward to enlarge warehouses and offices in turn to attract and accomo- date more buyers. It is the am : bition of the Exchange" U make it the one and only clear ing house for furs from Alaska and all northwestern territories.
 MT. Henry Wagner's entrance into the business is distinct gain for this territory. His ex- ,perience covers 35 years, almost his entire business career, and his acquaintanceship and busi- ness connections are found throughout the world. He is and has always been active in the fur trade in Hamburg, Leipzig, Lcndon and New York. He has spent 12 years in Japan, China, Manchuria, Mongolia, Kamtcha- ka and Eastern Siberia. His knowledge of furs, his wide &C., quaintances, his thorough cog nizance of world markets and conditions will combine to the
 ultimate profit and earnings of
 the Seattle Fur Exchange and it's shippers.
 The outlook is bright" says Michael Dederer, sales manager. "Mr. Wagner is eminently suc- ceSsful. The new capital will help
 us enlarge our facilities. More and more buyers will be at tracted. More and more furs will
 be graded and displayed to bet ter advantage for selection and increased patronage. AS t h e market improves, the Seattle Fur Exchange will present a very inviting picture to buyers las well as to those shippers who wish to obtain top prices at all times"
