its sting was sndden and fatal but the was o him What must ho do to be was the question He knew it would impossible to shake it off because at th least disturbance it would plant its fan into his flesh He felt it crawling s as it came higher and on h limb the perspiration boiled from e pore of his body Every moment w one of agony and he began to that his life hung on a Blearier thread Finally an idea suggested itself H dealt the centipede a terrific blow kill ing it but of course at the first touch it fangs were inserted in his llesh Almos instantly he disrobed and with a com mon pocketknife made an incision around the affected part and about a pound of flesh we twenty years ago and the man carrie an ugly scar to this day but to that seal be owes his life Another story more
