Hargrave had armed himself already with a strong riding whip, and a word to one of the ship's officers would bring him additional help in cue of need. The man played on; the Europeans stood round him in a ring, looking and listening, at first in vain.  At last there was it rustle—s movement among the coils of rope. Then out it slipped, a lissome, beautiful, deadly thing, marked with black and purple and green, and lifted its neck and swayed from side to side in time with the music; the venomous creature that had crawled away from its master now and then to drive some innocent victim to an agonising death. For its poison always produced a deadly thirst, and a madness of desire for the cool waters of the silent, shining sea. " We have him now," cried the ship's officer, as he raised a weapon and aimed it at the reptile. But he was a moment too late. Solomons had seized the snake by the neck, and reached the taffrail at one bound. They saw him laugh wildly as he plunged with it into the glittering depths below.

GRIPPED BY  CIRCUMSTANCE  SY DALRYMPLE J. RELSRAVIL  L—A MYSTERY OF T. FAXES'S PALACE. , 'There are slanders that grew is history as weals sad spring up again and again when one might well have thought that they had been ~ed. Such is the story, half believed ia to this da by some persons who have a mitglit ge of the early years of the last =that truest Augustus. Duke of Cam, the fifth son of Gene EEL, was the monism of the Piadmoatsse valet, Sellars, who was found with his throat cut in the Dullish suite of apartments in St. Janses's Palace on &Übe lit. 1810.

It is difficult to me an adequate motive for the guilty person's conduct. But unless a variety of witnesses of high character wilfully perjured themselves as to a variety of circumstances, there can hardly be any doubt that Seth's, after attempting to murder his master, cut his own throat.

THE GUARDING OF PARIS.  M. Lepine, the genial Prefect of Paris, Is almost as well known in London as in the French capital. llis functions are extensive, and to British eyes peculiar. He is a port el Lord Mayor, Home Secretary, and Chief Commissioner of Police rolled into one. Imagine a little man, dapper, with keen eyes and alert face, kindly and rt authoritative—that is M. Lepine. He rides first in the processions wheat royalty conies to Paris, because his duty Is to see to the fiturity of the route.

Their duty is to watch the banks of the Seise, not only for the quay thief, who is an adept at drawing off wine from the casks, but abro to keep an eye on the bridges, when the wouldbe suicide plunges into the waters of the Seine. When such a thing happens, the agent piongear, which is his specific name, is supposed to rescue the unfortunate person. To aid the river police M. Lepine instituted a service of dogs. The truthful histories has to record that at present they are a failure. When an enterprising journalist flung himself into the river as a test case," the four-footed police looked on calmly, without so much as moving a paw to help him. The latest ides of the Prefect is two motor-launches, and marmot pied Paris ruslicA to the parapets of the bridge, to gaze at the tight little craft as they bob along on the waves, intent upon some missies of prevention or rescue. They are destined t* catch the fish poacher in the close season and to complete the surveillance of the quays. The Prefect has also mounted a detachment of police on bicycles.
