I am not a profane man, but I awore then. The situation de manded It. In one of my' excursion I atumpod my too over one of those eternal cush ion with which Maria see fit to en cumber my place of residence.

"O John, do let m get down and ifimi in you." whimpered Maria. "Come ahead." I answered, heart' leealy. "John, dear, havn't you a matdhf" "A match? No, madam.

I am no slouch on throwing, and tho jack struck th anak aquarely In the middle, bounced forward against the armotr door, breaking the mirror Into bits. Hut the make? Would you believe It? That reptll waa not phaoed. Simply giving a wriggle and a writhe. It t retched out again as big as life. "Clot ome coal." uggeted Maria. I rot It, and I pitched and tossed at that reptile till daylight cam peeping In at the window and th thing wrig gled and writhed till the last. "There! You'v got a big lump miuaivly on hla head!" called Maria from her coign of vantage. "Come up ami kill It with tho poker." Arming myself, I went Dravwing well bark and squaring myself for the onset, I brought the poker down upon tho big reptile with a force that made tho room resound. There waa a curious hissing sound sound a of escaping air and the big snake slowly collapsed. I collapsed, too, but not slowly, The snuko proved to be th new Insldo tire for Maria's bicycle. Ino anybody wonder I feel tired this morning? 1 got tho drop on Maria, though. She uys I may smoke if I want to, and 1 do.
