EE Although I have hunted for caught the most venomous of snakes; and always kept -.a collection. of them and living in my house, yet under certain ye circumstances I fear them as much as’ any one else. Of all the snakes of Florida, that which most claimed my attention when I arrived there was the great diamond yattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus), that most dangerous. of all the living creatures that ever inhabited the wild places of the South. Fortunately these great vipers are not plentiful. One may live two or three years in the wildest part of the country and never see one; yet they may be encountered anywhere. Throughout most of my Fojourn in Florida I have lived or camped in the woods; that the subjects of my study might be around me. One morning, as I was gett to set out from my woodland retreat for a ramble along the waterside, I gaw three boys come running tocirard the house. One of them had a shot-gun, and a dog galloped along before them. ‘Bome fifty yards off they halted, and the panting leader called, “Do you ‘want o big rattlesnake? We've fc und one, and you can catch him easily coiled up in.a holicw tree.” “Where is he?” “Oh, half a mil woods.” “Did he rattle?” “No, he didn't r¢ “Oho!” thought less bine sna lar ki for people ie n mistake these tle reptiles for rattiesnal chances are that this one, if rattlesnake, would have son as he was discover gety boys and a fr Believing, therefore, £ prove to be some large, harmless that I might possibly want to my collection, I seized my six-foot snake Stick and set out at once with the boys. I made no other preparation whatever. I did not even put on leg- gings. In a few minutes we were close to a thicket of palmetto and sweet myrtle. “In there he is,” said the boys, point- ing to the thicket; and jist as they spoke I saw, marked across a mole- heap by the path, the broad, smooth trail of a rattlesnake. It was nearly four inches in width. Leaving the foot-path and going over toward the thicket, I saw the same mark on two other mole-heaps. From this I judged that most probably the ‘boys were right, and that they had really seen a rattlesnake and a large one. Before entering among the bushes, the boys called up the dog, and held him in leash lest he should run up -on the snake and be killed, as are many dogs in Florida every year. *You go in first,” said boys. “We'll follow and where he is.” “Give me it was dangerous or more rattlesns akeés out also having hands of a nervous the rattlesnake was the lesser risk. We came to an open e where a tree had fallen. It osk laid Jow by a storm. Its branches were now leafless and rotten, and the trunk lay across a pine stump, which held it up some three feet above the ground. Near by was the old oak st from which it had broken off, cood sized hole rotted into its This opening was down at the ground and at its lower part not large; but at the ‘top it. was wide. “He is in that stump,” said the lead- ing boy. “If you go and look down through the hole in the top you <an see him.” Telling the boys to stay where they were, and watching every step I took, Jest I might accidentally put my foot on another rattlesnake—because there mre often two where only one is seen, —I went over to the oak stump and yeeped down into its interior. “Why, there's no rattlesnake here!” said I. “Well, he must be there,” said one of the boys, ‘because we never bothered him; and he was asleep 2nd didn't rattle. And we all looked in at him. Didn’t we, Tom?” “Come and look for yourselves,” 1 said, “and you'll see he’s not here now.” So they all trooped over to my side and peeped down into the hole in the stump, and were much disappointed to find that he was not in it. As the sun was shining into the hole at the top, I dropped down on my ing ready 1 d e off, u k asleep.’ ittle, or nake"; hig mot- would tke add to cne of the show: yqu hen,” said 1; for have one before me, with- behind me a gun in the boy. -Of ‘the two that gun, t enough to was an ump with a side.

A momentary glance convinced me that the boys were telling the truth; for there on the soft, black mold at bottom was the imprinc of his ody. Even in the entrance the sail’ was freshly rubbed where he had passed, going in and coming out again. “All right,” I said® jumping up. “He was there, sure enough; and he is not far off now.” I handed back the gun “to the boy who owned it, and then I said, "Will you help me to: look for him?” “Of course we will.” “Very good. The first thing to do is to stand still where you are, and search with your eyes every inch of the ground you can see.” Now this open space was -almost clear, the only thing growing in it be- ing a sparse and meagre crop of huck- leberry Dbiishes not more than in height. If the rattlesnake there we could probably discover him. “ For some minutes we looked looked, but could see no sign of him. were Thinking that he might be lying un- | der the shady myrtles surrounding the: | - open patch, -I sent the boys into the bushes, with instfuctions to keep-.in the thicket, about ten yards in from “the edge, and beat carefully all around ehcanmitere nce of the clear spot. . I explained -to them that if they kept too close to the edge they would prob- ably come upon the snake, and maybe one of them might get bitten; but by keeping about ten yards in, and walk= ing in a line one behind the other, the sight of them would cause the snake to shift his quarters, and probably make him go back to the hollow stump.

On contrary, I bent ever nerve in my body i: to keep quiet. “My feet and legs must stay still,” I thought, “but I must see him.” Slowly, very slowly I'bent my head and looked down. Yes, I was in a predicament, for there was a large rattlesnake five feet long and as thick as a man’s arm. He was slowly coiling himself between my feet, the coil resting on my shoes. Now I was not greatly alarmed until the dog ran up close by, with his tail waving. The sight of the dog so scared the snake that he began to rattle. It was the most terrible signal of danger that I ever heard in my life. I have heard rifle-bullets whizzing over my head and seen them tearing up the earth round me, but they never made me feel half so grave as did that snake buzzing on my toes. The dog heard the rattle and seeing the snake, began to jump round, bark- ing gt it, now at this side and now at The foolish animal - dashed in nearer and nearer to the snake, which Kept its rattle going and its head pointed constantly at its barking enemy. As for me, I knew-that I was not in danger so long as 1 kept feet and legs motionless. To the mind,- that - extited was the danger he dreaded, while was te-him a buttress of strength be- rind him—a part of the fallen trunk which’ I was leaning.

Now, boys, do just as I say. Don’t utter one word, but just stand where you are in silence. Take off your caps and begin waving them over your heads.” The b)ys did as I told them. They waved their caps vigorously; and the snake. did just as I knew he would do. He turned his head toward the boys, who appeared to threaten him, and them he kept steadily watching. Me he heeded not, for me he knew not; . for, although ‘I spoke, and even shouted to the boys and to the dog, yet I stayed all the time motionless, so that he never was aware that I lived.

But they are quick to see moving things, and quick to take fright, too, if the thing is large or unusual.’ However, if the movement is made very, very slowly, the snake -will take little notice of it— or none at all, if it is sw enough. Knowing this, I proceeded in the right and only way to get rid of my un- pleasant visitor. Slowly, so slowly that you could hardly detect my motion, I brought my stick, gripped firmly in:both hangs, into a verticag position over the rat- tling snake. Gradually,<inch by inch, its point imperceptibly descended. Now it was within a foot of him; now with- in six inches; now within three; now actually inside his coil at the very spot ‘where I -wanted it. ' His rattle was occasionally buzzing against my leg, but there was no danger to me; for he never once noticed either me or my stick, but Kept his eyes ever To lose my head meant to lose my life. The end of the stick, as I have said, was now within his coil, at the only pcint wheré it would be surely effet- calculated this to a nicety. It was at the exact spot on the snake's side where hz2lf of his weight lay on one side of it, and half on the other. Over the old ocak trunk, gently and im- perceptibly, I leaned forward and to one side, bracing myself carefully so as to be. able to throw all my ppwer into one sudden jerk. Then, just when -1 was quite ready, that hitherto unfelt stick point flew outward and upward; and the astonished rattlesnake went sailing. through the air, not. knowing what on earth had happened to him. Some twenty yards off he landed near the dog; -and that unfortunate brute, seeing the long flying thing alighting, rushed at it, and was in- stantly bitten in the neck. I could not-help him. In five min- dead. The boys gave one shout when they saw the snake sent so cleverly sailing away from me through the air; but their anger, so that I could hardly re- ; strain them from shooting the rattle- snake, which was coiled where he fell. But at last I persuaded them to spare and rattling a box to put him in.
