The bird had gone, with its scream and msh. The breeze was silent. The vines ceased to wave. Tlie leaves faintly quiver- ed on their stems. The serpent once more lay still ; but the eye was never once turned away from the victim. It«5 corded mus- cles are all in coil. They have but to unclasp suddenly, and tlie dreadful folds will be upon her, its full length, and the fttaJ THE RATTLESN^K. 8S9 teeth will strike, and the deadly venom which they secrete will mingle with the life-blood in her vein...s. • 10. The terrified damsel, her full conscionsncss restored, but not her strength, feels ail the danger. She sees that tlie sport of the terrible reptile is at an end. She can not now mistake the hdrrid expression of its eye. She strives to scream, but the voice dies away, a feeble gurgling in her tliroat. Iler tongue is paralyzed ; her lips are scaled. Once more she strives for flight, but her limbs refuse their office. She has nothing left of life but its fearful consciousness. It is in licr despair, tliat, a last effort, she succeeds to scream, — a single wild cry, forced from her by the accumulated agony : she sinks down upon the grass before her enemy, — her eyes, however, still open, and still look- ing upon those which he directs forever upon them.
