Hm calm, handsome face, show, log neither fear nor bravado, when her falher had mentioned bis des tined, fate, ha an ted her mind. ; j . . Through a crevice in the tent, aha could now aee bim atanding composed and cheerful-looking, out there ..ia the clear moonlight, a mongst hia dusky guard a. . .. At last the young girl dropped off to aleep. .At dawn she waa awakened by a strange feeling of oppression in her cheat. , -. . .A thrill of horror went through her frame. Motionless speechless with t fear ahe lay, at eight ot a hideous-looking serpent coiled upon her breast I The monster waa about four feet Ions', ita folds wound up in three ring, in the center of which waa ita head, aligfatly elevated, its two glit terine eves turned full upon her face, iu forked tongue moving back auu lorin wua iicquiiuk muiuiiy r . . . ii.2 : J : . in ita hall opened mouth I The body waa a dark color, ana bad the appearance of being cover ed all over with slimy-looking spots of scales. Under the throat were two stringy appendagea like minia ture hammocks to that part of the creature, and adding to the nncouth oect of the reptile. Svlveen had heard descriptions enough of this fearfal pest of India, to realize at a glace, tnac ber ter hble visitor waa the terrible cobra da eapeUo one of the moat veno moos of the serpent tribe. What could she do T The slightest cry the feeblest movement on her part would insure ber destruction. The creature bad ita gaze upon her, and the moment ahe aboald stir it would .doubtless thrust its horrible bead against ber face or neck asd make ber feel the fatal bite of ita poisonoua lanes Scarcely daring to breath, she ay, keeping even her eyelids steady, while a cold perspiration bathed her brow, and her heart beat loud and fast with a wilder terror that almost deprived her of conscious ness. Meanwhile, oatslde the tent she coald hear the voice ot ber father i and the guards, as they moved to and fro, ignorant of her perilous : position. oald they never come T v ainiy she listened for ber father's ap proaching footsteps. Several times she saw hia shadow across the threshold of the tent, and once she beheld hia arm : but he did not en ter. Suddenly the serpent elevated ita head higher than before. The beat ing of ber heart, the heaving of her breast, which she could not sup press, had probably roused the creature to action. Slowly the head waa thrust for ward, then ita slimy. touch was on ber flesh it lay nestled on ber white throat! In a few momenta she would probably feel ita horrid fangs! . Just then her father looked in the tent. He aaw the serpent at once at once realized the peril of his child. An involuntary cry es caped him. The Hindoo guides were aoon at bis side. They looked hopelessly at their musketa and their knives. They could neither cut nor ahoot the ser pent lying ao close against the girl, without mortally wounding her. For them to attempt to aeize the creature with their hands must also prove fatal to the young woman. The moment they touched it, it would bite ber throat. What was to be done f How was the! serpent to be removed T Not one of them could think of any plan, and the old captain wrung bis bands in silent agony, be lieving that the fate of the child waa sealed. Suddenly Henry Melton made hia appearance at the door of the ienu Ane raiaea ?P""f . . . . . i i l r inaip t vi mnorinn a nn aia rm nan i in their trepidation and alarm, had torcotten him. He might have es caped, had he ao wished. The moment he beheld Sylveen's situation, hia eyes gleemed with a cold, steady glitter. Tbe girl lay on her back, her right side toward tbe door of tbe tent. In this posi tion her throat, with the bead of the serpent nestled upon it, was distinctly revealed. Henry raised his left arm, as a sign to the party to make no noise. With bis right he drew bis pistoL 4 Hold V whispered the captain, seizing his wrist. If yon fire at the serpent you will kill my chftl V 4 1 will save her,' answered Mel ton. My God ! I cannot risk it ! Your bullet will fail it must fail, with the aarpent right on herP 'Have no fear, sirP answered Melton, calmly. He looked so confident that . the captain, who bad heard that he waa a crack shot' from some of the midshipmen aboard, let go his wrist. Then kneeling, Henry leveled hia pistol straight at the serpent's head, which still rested on tbe girl's throat! .There was .a moment of fearfal suspense. The guides shook their heads solemnly, believing that the young woman's doom was sealed ; and the captain was a boot seizing Henry's arm again, when a fiery streak of flame leaped from the pistol, followed by a sharp, ringing peal! ? Pale as death, the captain rushed to hia daughter. Henry sir iled. Uie eerpent lay dead on the ground, its head crushed by the bullet, which had not even grazed the throat of Sylveen! i He has saved yoa ! cried the old captain, straining the girl to his bosom. : i ' " . . 1 ...

His face was stern for a moment, but then it -softened and lighted up. He seemed to see a picture of the past on the blank wall, and presently he was wearing the gray again. He trembled with excitement as he wheeled around and exclaimed : 44 Did I fight with Stouewall Jackson f t Ton bet I did!" Waiting a moment, he sat down and continued: 44 'Member when we.

Then his true situation came back to him, and he sat down, excitement and exultation all gone, and said : 4 1 haven't money enough to bay a crateh, and my bead isn't exactly right.
