The older boy shot both barrel's into Tho published stories of adventure agree the creature at sheet range ; then finding only in their absurdity, and oven grandpa their ammunition exhausted, both boys went back to the wagon, got a new supply, re- turned and kept on shooting till they had killed their game. Had it been mo very fierce an animal it certainly should have entered some objection in the meantime.

Once in a while a panther of portent - dog. The terror of the woods was afraid to come down and fight, although it was shot three times before it wee fin- ished. 'AFRAID TO BIGIIT. A friend of mine met four "orogera "—as the cowboys call these animals—in a Texas thicket, and killed- three of the four with his revolver: He brought in the tails. He said the animals showed no fight. Another friend killed ewo"mountain liana" in i n- coln County, New Mexiao. He shot one three times and tha other four times, at ranges of from 60 to 20'yarde, and said that neither made any effort, exoept to get away. The akin of the smaller of these two measured 7 feet 2 inohor. In 1886, the cook of the " 21" ranch on the Cimarron River, Indian Territory, almost ran over a "mountain lion" in a heavy swamp. He shot the ani- mal eight times with a 38 caliber Win cheater. Hie story is that the "t critter equalled a good deal, but didn't show no fight." In 1880 there were five nearly full- grown panthers killed in one locality in Southern Iowa with a pack of coarse -bred bear dogs, whose owner would nob allow any one to carry firearms on the hunt. In 1883 I saw the fresh skin of a panther killed the day before by a le year-old boy on the south fork of Eagle Creek, in the White Moun- tains of New Mexico, He shot it three times with a Winchester carbine, 44 -caliber. The first shot atruok it in the fore foot, and the second in the shoulder. The animal then went higher up pito the tree and was shot through the head at the next shot. The boy was very cool about it, and when asked if the "lion " had showed fight, replied,: "Naw, he jest hollered." A great many more instances might be cited, similar in their trend to these.. Ib will be found that +"11 reliable mountain . men and cattlemen who have lived in localities frequented by this animal and who are familiar with its disposition and habits will unite in giving it a very poor character for courage. In heavy snows, and when suffering from extreme hanger, the tawny terror might possibly be driven to some act of temporary • boldness ; but, if he ventured near the dwelling of man, it would in all probability be in search al some defeueelese sheep, or pig, or young calf, and not in pursuit of man. No family of animals is more interest- ing or moro confused than the cab family and of the whole family no mem- ber seems lunch worse mixed up than Fells concolor. It is useless to• go to the books about it, for the bookssimply don't know. The mountain men, the trappers and hunters who five in the big game country, are the best 'possible means of information, and even these will tell you :thWife—" iife What a happy looking couple conflicting stories when they come to des w- are t I wonder how long they've, cribiag Felts comooler.

There are a good many in Texas, the Indian Nations and in portions of the Southern States. They were found on the plains and in the sand hills of Kansas and Nebraska by the early settlers pressing west, The wilder portions of the Rooky Mountains and the outlying spars, the Sierra Nevadan and allied ranges' the Cascades and Coast range, and, in fact all the rour;her unexplored country of the West and Northwest contain this' animal, and the warmer table lands and the low ranges of New Mexico, Arizona and. Texas also afford it a home. • It lives upon deer or smaller wild animals, upon sheep, pigs, calves or whatever it oan get. If it kith an animal larger than It oan eat at once it carefully buries the re- mainder under brush and leaves, and returns to it later. Often i4 will bury a skeleton' whose bones it has picked clean. It is not usually' found in very large numbers in any one locality, and ft is therefore aimoat possible to direct an ambitious hunter where bo find it, although one might blunder upon a panther while out after bear or deer in some wild country. In that cane a largo bore. repeating , express rifle would be the beet arm, and would very soon settle any foolishness on the part of "t the tawny ter- ror." The beat way to hunt so sly and sec• relive an animal is with a pack of good hounds, and a cross between the foxhound and bloodhound makes the best dog for such work. Such a pack wilt kill a panth- er, but will be terribly punished and thin- ned out. it is better humanity to carry a rifle on such a hunt, and kill the animal with that when the dogs bag it, it usually taking to a tree when closely crowded. 1f you want a good panther skin for a rug secure one from a . Northern country, and let it be a winter skin. 11 you get a akin from Texas it is probable the* ib will be damaged by the fur .bags. E.
