By HELEN LEWIS, e eosoooooooo~oOec@OeeSe*0* The low mountains were drawing a cool shadow over the hot Kafir val fey. In the sun shine the birds were singing and shrieking. But this did not .-T4disturb the Mittl sleeping girl who was lying near the pond, all sur I ~rounded by high C grass. One small hand she had put irnderneath h e r head; instead of a cushion she had her rich golden hair. Long silky lashes touched her round cheeks, red with sleep, and V? between the cher ry lips two rows of - small, pearly teeth were visible. One shoe she had kicked off and a lovely little foot was seen. As she lay there in fairylike sleep she made a beautiful illustration for "The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood." And the monster was not far away, either. At the edge' of her -white gown sonethling moved. Somethlig ghostly dark and vicious. It crept further up the gown, very careful not to make itself felt. It crept on and reached the bosom of the sleeping girl. Placi: as the night, the. ugly mon . ster with its long hairy legs moved on across the white gown and ap proached her throat, which lay bare to the grasp of its poisonous, blood sucking fangs. a giant spider, an enormous 17 big nc, which had 'erept out of its cave. It wa3 at least six Inches in -d:wneter. It could catch and swallow a small bird Just as easily as an ordi nary fly. It was very near her throat Two Inches-and again two inches --crept the disgusting monster, and reached h.-r bare throat. As it rose on its hind legs, Its dark hcdy against the white gown, the black monster kept perfectly quiet, as it v-an led to prepare its poisonous fangs b-efre sinking them into the fresh veins which had tempted Its greedy appetite. The. man who had just reached the rddle of the small valley stopped suddenly as If turned to stone. The shout of joy with which he had meant to greet the girl whom he had looked for anxiously d!ed in his throat. How great the danger In which the little girl Was hovering he knew only too well. lie -knew better than anybody that all wild animals, snakes and poi sonous Insects Included, bite or sting aImediately when they are scared. If. therefore, he let himself be seen now the monster would follow this In stnct and sink Its deadly poisonous fJ)!s Into the girl's throat before it disappeared. His brair. was always clear and the life he had lived had taught him to de cdoe cuicly. H., Instantly remem bered that when he had returned from the hunting and discovered that the chIld was jnissing he had not hung up the rifle-ard this i-iflo was loaded. w'ith, a r'ather small bullet. As he made every effort to be as calm r.: possible he lay down ndise lersly a urI pressed the weapon against the stone. He was very clever wIth the rifle, but he did no't dare to take even the slightest risk. IIe took a hair-fine aim and the shot went off. The faint noise of the shot dId not wake up the girl. But the dis gusting monster had disappeaed blown into thousands of pieces In the empty air. First, when It was all over, his hand trembled. He threw away his rifle, jumped up and ran toward the little girl, lifted her In his armns and pressed her tightly to his breast.. The girl woke up. "Papa-wet," said the little girl, and looked into his face-which was wet with cold perspiration-with sleepy eyes-"Ray dry, papa." "Yes," answered the father, "I have been playing William Tell, and It was a bit tiring." New and Old Britannic.

It is a safe play at almost any stage of life's game.
