that, individual might be counted a dead
man, so fatal is the bite of that dread
ful monster.
Poor Maxey was dressed as many old
residents still dress in India, namely,'
breeches and Bilk stockings: Therefore
he mOre plainly felt every movement of
tho shake. His countenance assumed
a livid hue; the words seemed to leave
his mouth without the feature altering
its position, so rigid was theldok. so.feare
ful was he lest’ the slightest' muscular
movement should aldrinihe serpent and
hasten his bite; -w»w<wWli nug

Churchill very cautiously gave tho
order and a servant slipped out of the
room. 1

The milk was brought and carefully
put down; a few drops were sprinkled
on the floor, and the aifrighted servant
drew back.
Again Maxey spoke;
“No—it has no effect! On the con
