' I was a soldier in the army of India :

'soldiers I was a little; too fond , -of good:
liquor. One' day I got ; drunk , and was
shut up in the black hole for it. I slump-!
ed down upon lh floors of the dungeon
and was just dropping efF to sleep, when II
felt a cold,- slimy, shape era wU"ng across
my right hand as it lay stretched out
above my head on the ' flbof. " I Ttnew at

my first "impulse was to draw 1 away my

in: my, breast like a trip hammer . Of j
course my fright sobered me instantly. ' 1 1

O, how I lamented the hour that I had
touched liquor 1 , In every glass," of liquor
they "say there is .'a serpent ; but it' does ;
not come" .te everybody in the ; shape it
cams to me ; With a j slow,' undulating
motion the reptile dragged its carcass- j
acrpes my face, inch by inch, : and crept
dawn over my breast,' ana thrust its head
inside my jacket " As I felt the hideous
scraping, of the Elimy body, oyer my "cheeks'
it was only by . the , most tremendous . et-5
lort that, I succeeded in restraining my
self from yelling loudly with mingled
terror and disgust. 'At last I felt the tail
wriggling j down Lio wards 1 my chin; but
imagine what I felt at heart, if you can
imagine it, as I realized that the dreadful
creature bad coded itselt op under my .
jacket as I lay, and had, seemingly gone
to sleep, for it was still as death. Jbvi-
dcntly .it had no idea that I was a human
creature;, if it had it, would not .have
acted in v this manner..-: ;All snakes- are
cowardly, and they will not approach a

was like an hour to me --hke a year I L
'eeemed: to" have 'lived a lifetime; inVthat

passed across my mind 'In rapid succes

ing men. Al thought of my mother, away
in old England ; my happy home by the
borders of the Avon ; my J'Jary, the girl
I; loved, and: never, expected, to see them
more. For no matter how . long 1 1 . bore
this, I felt that it would end in death -at
last.- I lay as rigid as a corpse, scarcely
daring even to breathe, . and all the time
my breast was growing colder and .'colder
where the snake lay against it, with noth
ing but aTjbin cottpn shirt between my
skin and its. I knew if . I stirred it would
strike ; but. I felt I- could not bear . this
much longer- . , Even if J. succeeded in ly

that his opening the. door and coming in
would be my death warrant' all the same j
