"So H begins again!" he muttered There was a cloud oi dust In the distance. The man rose to his feet, shaded his eyes with his hand and shambled round to the back of the wagon, where a lank table warn set with knives and forks, hunches bread and tlncupe. He walked a tittle farther away to the fire, and slowly stirred a pot of stew The Uttle party of cowboys came thundering up. There was d chorus of shouts and exclama lions, whistlings end good-natured chaff, as they threw themselves from their horses, tang Jim stood slowly cracking his whip and looking down the table. "Say. boy*. I think he's fixed things up all right." be remarked. "Come oo with the grub, cookie." Silently the man filled each dish with tlfe stew and laid It In Its place. Then be retired to the background and the cowboys commenced their mi tang Jim winked at the others as be picked up a biscuit ‘Cookie, you’re no good." he called out “The stew's rotten.

Long Jim Inogbed carelessly. "Say. cookie." the leiter went on. ’’where did you get them eyes?

Eh!" He stopped zhon with a cry of pain The bone had suddenly started, wrenching at !he reins. Jim's arm hung helplessly down from the shoul-

"Gee. boys he's broken It!" he groaned "Say. this Is bell!" The cook suddenly puihed his way through the little crowd- He took Jim's ahouldrr firmly In one hand and hit arm In the other The cowboy bowled with pain "Let go my arm'" he shotted. “Kill him. boys! My God. Ill make boles In you for this!" He snatched at bis gua with hit other hand and the cowboys scattered a little. The cook stepped be^k. tbe gun flashed out. only to be suddenly lowered Jim looked Incredulously towards his left arm. which hung no longer helplessly by his side He swung It backwards and forwards, and a broad grin slow ly lit up bis lean, brown face He thru*! the gun In bis bolster end bold out bit hand "Cookie, you're all right!" he exclaimed "You've done ibe trick this time.

Tbe bitterness bad passed from bis face Evening rams atul wr|th It a repctl tion of bis labors When everything was ready to serve, he stepped from behind the wagon and looked across tbe rolling stretch of open country.

There was no one In sight. Softly, almost stealthily, be crept np to tbe wagon, fetched out from Us wooden case s small violin, eat down with bis back to tbe wheel and began to play. Suddenly tbe bow rested motionless. A lock of fear came Into bis face. He sprang up. Tbe cowboys were all stalling from the other side of tbe wagon. They bad arrived and dismounted without bis bearing them. He sprang to his feet and began to atamner apologies. Long Jim's band was laid firmly upon bis shoulders. "Say. cookie, you don't need to look ao ecered. You ain't done nothing wrong. Me end tbe boys, we like your music. Sing ns another tune on that fiddle!" The cook looked at him for a moment incredulously. Then he realised that the cowboy was In earnest. He picked up the bow and commenced to play again. They sat around him. wondering, absolutely absorbed, one even made s move towards tbe food. It was Craig who led them there at last himself, still playing. Long Jim threw bis arm almoi tngly around bis shoulder. "Say, cookie." he began, "there ain't never no questions asked concerning the pest history of tbe men who find their wsy out here. Just so long as they don't olsy the game yellow. Maybe you've fitted up a nice little hell for yourself somewhere, but we ain't none of us hankering to know tbe address.

By bis sldt was tbe professor; Just behind. Lenora and Laura, tang Jim greeted them with rough cordiality. "Say, what ere you folks looking for?' be demanded. Jnest pointed lo Craig. We want that man,” De announced 'This is Inspector French from NewYork. I am Sanford QuesL' There was a tense silence. Craig covered hla face with his bands, then suddenly lookeu up. T won't come," he cried fiercely. "You're hounded me all around the world. 1 am innocent 1 won't come.' Quest shrugged nts shoulder*. He took e step forward, but tang Jim. st though by accident, stuttered in

the way.

'Got a warrant?" he asked tersely. 'We don't need It." Quest replied. "He's our man. right enough.' "Right this minute hes our cook" drawled tang Jim, "and we ain't exactly particular about going hungry Jnat to please a bunch of atrangera Cut it short, mister.

"You’re welcome to anything we've got except our cook" Jim replied, turning away. . . Darkness came early and tbe little company grew- ctorer and closer to the camp fire, whore Craig bad once more taken up his violin. The professor had wandered off somewhere Into the darkness and the girls were seated a little apart. They had been treated hospitably but coldly 'Don't seem to cotton to us. these boys. 1-aura remarked.

Laura continued quickly. "Craig has escaped, riding toward* the Mexican frontier* Lenora 1* following him. He s gone in that direction." she added pointing. "When you come to tbe river you’ll have to hunt for the bridge." Quest frowned as he gathered up his reins. "1 was afraid they'd try something of tbe sort," he muttered Tell the others where I've gone. Laura He galloped off Into the darkness. Behind, there were some growls from the little group of cowboys, none of whom, however, attempted to inter fere with him tang Jim stood up and gased sullenly southward* ' Cookie'll make the bridge all right. ‘ he remarked. "If the girl cntchre him, she can't do anything And that guy 11 never make It Whoop! Here comes the rest of them."

CURIOUS TRAP FOR SNAKES | Naturalist Tails of Seeing a Biscuit Can Used by Natives L. Capture a Cobra. A naturalist tells us of an odd kind of snake trap that caught its victim securely li was a biscuit can, and In the bottom of It were some

A cobra spied tbe can. but a mouse was ahead of the cobra. The Uttle tfaiei was having a good time regaling himself on the macaroons, all unconscious that a snake was preparing to regale itself on mouse. Into ths can went the bead of the snaka. but the bead that went In was destined to come out Iras easily. The rough edges of the can Irritated the cobra, and Involuntarily H dilated It* hood. That made It a prisoner With the hood dilated the head cculd not be withdrawn. and the cobra remained In Its Ln prison until morning, when It was easily captured and killed. StraiUlng. who knows the nativse of India as well as be knows the snakes of that land, tells ot aa interesting theory held by these people. They are firmly convinced that for every human being a snake bites it loses one Joint When the number of deaths tbe snake has canted equals tbe number of its Joints, the venomoM bead alone remains. The snake haa now reached the height of Us wtckafl desires, and at this point It develoga wings and triumphantly disappears. An exception to this rule Is found on the other side of tbe world, kt the case of the rattlesnake, for the natives of many parts of this country are said to believe that this snaka gains a thimble for every man It kills. By counting these some folks pretend to an ability to calculate with precision bow mvny persons a particular rattlesnake has bitten.
