A HuUT JOUR- Willi Max Bald my partner e do decisive very soon the cabin bad as I pulling my pen find pushing back the map I had been lettering Yet The jam id getting strong er every minute the wattr hat backed up over half a mite- The will soon to up for today the jam will gel strong er night the thatv lomojor vAtcr will and unless we can break the jam first My companion and I were em ployed by a lumber company to spend five month explunti itihutariei of the River Wo wire charged to and re port on the timber resources of the region and the of floating logs down tlic streams in spring We had arrived in the fall and built a cozy little cabin bend of what called Catamount Creek The name was suggested by our hav ing seen on the bank of abeam two panther or Indian devil they are variously called on the first day of our arrival We thought our site was a good one until in March the floating ice jammed and threatened to back up the water and sweep our residence away We disliked to leave our cabin not only because had been comfortable there but because the rainy season was at hand We feared the drawings and reports that we been months preparing would be destroyed before we could make another shelter If we only had tome dynamite we could break the said my companion I have it I I replied- I will tramp down the river to the camp of prospectors They arc sure to have some and wilt part with enough to help us out Hut twenty miles I can be back by tomorrow morning I answered its our only chance I will stay here and get things into moving shape in case of an emer gency Youd heller not take your rifle cant afford to follow game Say would bo ft nice thing if you could carry something to pay the miners in part for their dynamite II is precious to them I will I said So I started carrying a halfbushel of potatoes two dozen applet and some old magazines By keeping along the south side of the canon- where the sun shone very little I had pretty secure footing Only twice while crossing small val leys did I need to use my snow- reached the miners camp about eight oclock We ale a hearty sup per and talking for an hour as only men can talk when they see a new face for the first lime in months They gave about twenty pounds of giant powder a dozen primers and a coil of fuse About ten oclock started on my return trip the firt hour I did not ad vance very fast as I bad only the starlight to guide me Then moon rose The country through which I was going was covered by snips of heavy limber alternating wiih clear pitches of snow I had obtained what I went to gel and success combined with the beauty of nighi made me un usually lighthearted As I walked along I hummed snatches of old song and lived over again in my thoughts pleasant experiences of my boyhood The bright moonlight sifted through slightly swaying branch es me and made a glorious network of shadow and sparkle on snow All seemed enchanting till suddenly had a distinct sensa tion that somebody or something was following me I listened but could neither bear nor see anything strange Neverthe less I could not rid myself of ihe impression I emerged ihe strip of timber crossed another clear space and then plunged into thickly timbered region While in the midst of this I became more and more convinced that I was being fol lowed Listening intently I thought I could hear a crackling of bushes and a stealthy movement of feet on the snow I hurried through crossed another clearing and paused on the edge of ihe next woodland The moonbeams fell with glistening splendor on the patch of pure white now behind me but could see any living thing could I now detect any sound of stealthy feet Nevertheless I wished I had brought wah me at least a re volver With my pocket knife I cut a stout cudgel and set out more In culling the slick I awkwardly made a sash in my hand from which some blood dropped as I walked along I had almost reached another clearing when I heard unmistakable sounds of otnethmg following me They were louder than and less Besides the swish of there was a snuffling sound as of some wild animal I hastened through strip of woods crossed a short open space and hid behind a tree in the next strip The sounds came nearer- Then out into the slutdorr of the trees came a long dirk body It skirted upward along the edge of the woods for a dis tance and then came slowly out into the moonlight I then clearly re- cogeired the lithe form of a panther The beast struck downward re gained my trail and then came cau tiously forward snufllmg in turn the air and snow 1 clutched my stick and darted toward the animal at eery bound For an In- the beast faced me then he turnei and was out light and hear ing in a few seconds I then to think of my fear pursuer so easily disposed of and tuned on vide stretch of woods lie fore was half way through I heard with shiver of genuine the of the his chase Twice csught glimpses of his long body and gleaming eyes away among the trees I tried to keep up courage in spite of the cruel fact that I unarmed was being hunted by a powerful and ferocious animal He was sneaking after me looking for is good opportunity to get clou enough to spring upon my back pan ther though he hesitates to attack is persistent as he Is and sometimes follows a man for many hours before making an I crossed another clearing Just as I started to enter the woods the tawny body of foe glided out of opposite line of trees Brandish- my slick I rushed at him He retreated into Ihc bush and then crouched in a manner so threatening that I hailed Wow got a clear view of the pan ther Up to this time he had awkward and ungainly but now as he lay with his lithe body pressed the enow be to re semble some huge javelin which an unseen hand was about to hurl I slowly retreated As I regained the edge of the clearing the arose skirted upward a short distance then darted across the opening and entered the wood In advance me I reasoned that if I entered that of wood the brute would burl himself upon me before I could gain he other edgc- making a detour of a quarter of a mile I could reach the next clearing without having to enter the forest This I proceeded lo do being careful lo keep as near the middle of the open stretch as possible I had not gone far the pan ther again reappeared at the edge of the wood He now seemed bolder and more excited Twice he came clear out of the of the could then see the gleam of bis eyes in the moonlight and how his tail kept lashing his bony sides Fire I knew would frighten the brute had plenty of matches but ihere was no dry wood at hand In deed I should hardly have dared to atop and collect it if there had been Then I thought of the fuse I was carrying Forthwith I cut a piece about two long from the roll Then I pressed a snowball about one end of the fuse and lighted the other end As it gave the first spit 1 hurled the missile at the catamount It struck just beyond him He moved around beyond it and stood watching the glowing spark and the swirl of smoke Meanwhile I hastened onward preparing another piece of fuse Not until the first bit bad stopped smoking did the animal at- Whenheapproachcd repealed ihe ruse But this time it did not detain him long He snuff ed around the smoking line a few second and then strode contemptu ously over it toward me lt was plain that it take something fiery than a piece of fuze to keep him from trying to sup on Then I took one of the cartridges from bag untwisted one end of the paper covering and applied the match to it just as the panther appeared skulking in ihe close by As it blazed up I tossed the flaming cartridge toward bint This seemed to puzzle him and be remained snuffing at a dis tance from the blazing cartridge until it went out Oh if it would only explode I I thought Explode I Dynamite does explode except by powerful con cussion But I had fuse and primers for exploding it Why had I net thought of this before determined lo discharge tome underneath his nose even if I had to risk blowing myself to fragments Anything would be belter thin to fall a prey to those splendid cruel and those long quivering claws I drew a single cartridge of the dynamite from the bag As I started to prepare it I realized with some loss of hope that it was frozen The oil of the mixture bad solidified and it would not be so sure to explode But danger quickened my thoughts I lore open the clothing above my breast and thrust the lube underneath my left arm Clutching the clammy thing close to my steaming body I hastened on I had hardly any hope lhat my would thwart the cunning His game was to tire me out and spring on roe unexpectedly Al ready the details of the last scene pictured themselves to ray mind He would fell me to the snow I would make a few feeble efforts stab with a ctasknife but the gleaming white teeth would close upon my throat That would be ihe end of me My partner when out looking for me would come across mangled form and the truth In spite of these forebodings I con tinued to work for my salvation I cut a piece of fuse two feet long from the roll The end I cut off perfectly smooth and even while I made a slight split In the other I selected a primer and blew times down into the tube to be sure that no foreign substance covered the powder Then I pushed the end of the fuse down into the tube close ihe layer of white pow der at the bottom as there was no safer way I pressed with leetb the upper edge of the tube against the fuse until the was held in place- In the hasty backward glances which I cast from time to time at ray pursuer I noticed lhat he was follow ing just far enough behind so lhat I could not lush past examination found stick of underneath my arm hid thawed and materials bid fused again Into one end of I the primer attached to the fuse and squeezed the mixture tightly about It off it wool toy head wrapped the bomb in It Then about the whole J knotted my long knitted sash I also all the other explosives from roe The sprang with long leaps at the big- Jut ahead near the end of he clearing there was a I hastened to the top of this and faced about The panther wax sniffing around the bag of dynamite about two hundred feet away As I famed ho left the bag and started straight toward mc I knew lhat the final irugglc was at hand bands that in spile of my efforts at self control I applied a match to fuse It began to hiss and sputter For ft few seconds I deliberated whether ft would not be better lo clutch the thing to side close with the infuriated animal and let the explosion blow us both to fragments at we struggled lis reached ihe spot of Ihc knoll tossed the bundle at htm as he sprang forward He seized it as a cat does a rat and shook it so hard I was afraid it would fly in pieces Then a disdainful stroke from a long paw sank the bundle into the snow and my foe crouched as for a long spring I dared not move a muscle I knew that my slightest movement would be the signal for the beast to make his leap Could I stand fixedly facing those blazing eyes for thirty seconds The gaunt tawny body was press ed against the snow The drawn lips exposed long gleaming teeth A thin line of smoke to which he no attention swirled up close beside him In a moment all was transformed There was an explosion that hurl a great quantity of enow into my face and flung me down I jumped up cleared my eyes and looked for the panther There were only pieces of panther left went back picked up the dynamite and went on That day my pirtner broke the jam Next day he carried ten pounds of dyna mite back lo ihe miners On his re turn he followed my trail to the knoll and secured enough fragments of the skin to make him a cap Youths Awl tin SUTTON The Mansion House was in felt last Thursday
