The serpent grew tjulet and stretched Itself out at our feet, and by and by the man said to me: lt was a serpent before, and It Is a serpent now. We will let It go sway.

After three or four minutes the cobra became more active and went crawling away, and I felt so weak and lethargic that 1 fell upon a couch and was presently asleep.

There were wolres and hyenas and panthers and tigers In that district, and It was notorious for Its serpents, but I felt no personal fear as 1 passed along. When struck the path. I boldly entered tbe jungle, and I believe I had gone a distance of half a mile when I canght sight of tbe glittering eyes of some animal before me.
