under similar circumstances, I don'ti

mine were subjected to during one of
the seances I was a party to. t
"The first time I had to hold up my I

lasting fortune by investing it in a e
gold mine that one of our party had
found' he said, not many miles from
Pueblo. The United States mail coach
was carrying us to that place, and the
general impression in those days was
that the overland mail was generally
well loaded with valuable matter.
This seemed to have been the opinion
of three enterprising citizens of New
Mexico about that time, as we learned
when the stage came to a sudden stop
in one of the wildest spots in all that
country, and the muzzles of three]
rifles appeared at the stage windows,
with a rough and tough looking manc
at the butt end of each rifle. One of
the man ordered us to tumble out on I
the double-quick. We did not tres
pass even a little bit on the time of t
these gentlemen, who seemed to be in
a hurry, but tumbled out at the word.
Then we were ordered to stand min
line, front face and close dress, and to t
hold our hands above our heads, all of
which was done with military prompt
mess.- One of the three bustling
citizens 'was set to guard us, and to
whom the leader of the gang remarked:
"'Blow a hole that you can shove at
stovepipe in through the first man that t
sirs!,'

them. I couldn't tell how the pouches
,were panning out, for the rifling op-.
oration was out of the range of my 1
rision, under orders as I was to pre- a
serve a rigid 'eyes front.' 1 guess we 1
'had stood there five minutes, and the t
strained position was beginning to tell -
on me, when I saw something as I t
rolled my eyes toward the ground that
drove all thought of heavy and painful a
,upheld arms out of my head. Moving
,directly toward me, and not more than
a yard away, was one of those terrors
of that region, a centipede. This one
weas a hideous-looking fellow, at least
pight inches long. He kept straight
stowprd me, and I never moved my eyes
from him. He drew nearer and nearer,
inntil he was at the very tip of myI
shoe.' I didn't dare move, for I knew
the muzzle of a derringer was only a
rod away, ready to drive a bullet
through my heart. The centipede
stopped for a second or two when he
came to my shoe, and then turned and
passed on by. I raised my eyes and
breathed easier. The robber guard
didn't seem to be aware of the extist
ence of anything else on earth except
us and himself, and he seemed to have
us all under his eye at once
course, to see what direction the centi
pede had taken, and I didn't need to,
for suddenly I felt a sensation, first at
my ankle, and then gradually passing
up my leg, that made my blood turn
cold. The centipede had crept up my
shoe at the instep, and was even then
climbing my leg under my trousers!
There was no mistakin'g the priching
of the long rows of sharp claws as the
centipede worked his way along nyt
flesh. I knew that the least movemem <
I made would disturb the venomouas
climber and he would instantly siak
wery one of his numerous claws into
my flesh and squirt from eacih one its
quota of deadly p~oison into my blood.
, "There is nothing so quick or s
sensitive to disturbance as a centi- I
pede. They are harmless if their temn
per isn't roused, and thie falling of a.
shadow on them is frequently enough i
to do that. If you ever go into a een:

"Are we near Poughkeepsie?" asked

"Poughkeepsie?" echoed the con
Luctor. "Don't you begin talking no
