The serpent rating sujike, or king of serpents (Ophiophagus elapst found in Burma, is among the most interesting of our venoiihuis snakes and tlie only really aggressive member of tiie ophid ians. readily attacking any man or animal that happens its way. The female is especially irritable during the season of i:. iitication. and an adult snake attains a length of from twelve to fifteen feet, is superlatively swift and active and possesses a poison fang three inches in length and charg ed with a very powerful venom. It will be admitted that Opliiophagus claps. Xaia bungarus or serpen tivore. as it is also called, is a foe that had better be avoided. While being neither an arlwreal nor a water snake, the Ophiophagus claps climbs trees with facility and takes to water readily, swimming with great ease and skill. Its poison is as deadly in its effect as that of the lesser hooded snake (the Ophiophagus chips also car ries a lioodi. the cobra, but it is believ ed that the action of the venom is not quite so rapid. The shortest period within which it proved fatal to a fowl was -fourteen minutes, while a dog expired in two hours and eighteen minutes.

[ Why suffer from rheumatism j when one application of Chamber lain 's Pain Balm will relieve the pain? The quick relief which this liniment affords makes rest and sleep possible, and that alone is worth many times its cost. Many who have used it hopmg only for a short relief from suffering have been happily surprised to find that after awhile the relief becomes permanent. Mrs. V. H. Leggett of Yum Yum, Tenn., U. S. A., writes: "I am a great sufferer from rheumatism, all over from head to foot, and Chamberlain's Pain Balm is the only thing that will relieve the pain." For sale by HiU Bros. BREAKING THE NEWS It was a ditticult situation. To be sure, Marcella bad not actually flirted with Ackley Henderson. Sue refused to Include the verb In her well bred vo cabulary, but thpn? Men are so queer, so apt to think that one means things when really one is actuated only by ordinary courtesy aud the gayety of the moment and cheer fulness toward the world in general. When a man calls very regularly, is that any reason why a girl should con sider him in love with her? It would be abominable conceit, Marcella as sured herself indignantly as she twist ed up her hair. Why, dozens of men had called on her in the last five years, and only three or four had asked her to marry them. Each of these men had seemed surprised when she refused. Therefore why should she worry for fear Ackley Henderson would take it badly and think himself ill treated when he learned she was engaged to an eastern man? The wedding was set for June, and Marcella felt that she must break the news. She told herself that she would do it that very evening and was surprised to find herself turn ing to lee at th^-Lli ought. She stared at Iky own face sternly in the glass. It was not that she had a lingering fear lest she eared for Ack loy_not a hit of It! The man down east had all her heart, but she did like Aekley Immensely In a friendly fash ion and dreaded his displeasure. .Tu4t why should she think he cared for her? She demanded a reply as she fiercely searched for another shell hairpin. lie had never said anything, but then words were not always necessary. On ly a week ago, when she had been play ing at the piano, on turning suddenly she had caught his gaze fixed on her with such open tenderness that the blood had rushed to her face. lie had carried it off well by asking in the next breath some irrelevant question, but it had started her to thinking. Really it was too bad of Ackley. He was such a reserved, odd person that one never could tell -what he was going to do next. lie never confided in his friends, though apparently he was free and open. She scan-lied her memory sharply. Had she ever given him the slightest right to fancy she was especially at tracted by him? Of course she had been interested in his yachts and his theories on the proper way to drive a horse and his favorite books, but that was only what ordinary politeness call ed for. If one did not talk to a man about the tilings in which he was in terested. what 011 earth would become of conversation? Marcella jabbed in the last pin and straightened her side combs, and just then the bell rang. Heaving a long sigh, she went down to greet Ackley Henderson. He was so particularly happy and cheerful tonight that it made her task doubly hard. How should she begin? She could not plunge into the subject abruptly? she wanted to glide into it gracefully and by degrees-hut somehow she could not manage the con versation. And all the while Ackley sat beaming joyously at her. Marcella shivered. She wished she could remember a few times when she had been rude to him? the memory would brace her up-but there was j j nothing but unremitting and gracious | kindness on her part in the hateful j past. She wondered if he would tell her i what he thought of her when she told him of her engagement or whether lie would take It quietly and go away and brood over it. She didn't know which would be worse. She chattered fluently on everything ; j under the sun, but at last talk ran slow. Silence fell. Marcella felt it j was now or never. She leaned forward . | and fingered the paper cutter lying at | her hand and spoke in a low voice, j She did not look at him. "I'm going to tell you something. ? Ackley." she said. She could feel that | he was all attention instantly. "I? perhaps I should have told yon? told people some time ago. but I? well, I didn't. I? you've met Bob Van Puy ster of New York? I'm going to marry him in June." She ended with a rush. After an instant she raised her eyes ? bravely to meet his stricken face. Then j she stareil in blank amazement, for Ackley Henderson was smiling surpris- j edly. delightedly. j "Why. I'm greatly pleased." he cried j heartily. "I>e Puyster is a fine chap. I'm glad to herfr It. And I might as i well tell you there's a girl down in St. Louis that is going to be Mrs. Hender- j son next fall, and your profile and hers are identical. Every time I look at you I'm- reminded of her, though, of course. I ! you're not alike." Marcella was speechless. For one : mortal hour she had to sit and listen to ' the praises of another girl sung into her astonished and reluctant ears and smile as though she liked it. Her own engagement lie apparently dismissed from his mind. He was about the fur- i thest from a heartbroken man one would care to see. - i Yet when Marcella took down her 1 hair that night she broke three of the shell pins because she wa? thinking to hard and indignantly.
