All became afloat, when suddenly I board
an outburst from the dogs Sl no great die

the Spot where I Stood.
In less than another minute after this there
came the sound of A rustling among the
bashes, and presontly I saw the tope of the
taller ones agitated along a certain line, as
If by some animal making its way quickly
underneath. As the basso, which I conjao
tired to be a Rolf, would probably pass with*
!n a few feet of me, I instantly made ready
to Rive him a shob.
With my body well braced, my rifla pulsed,
Hui my eye glancing along the barrel, I was
anxiously waiting ohs opportuno momeub to
discharge my piece, when I was startled by
a shrill sorsam and the swifts passing down•
ward of some huge object, like a bell, which
fall among the bushes with a crash, and wase
followed by such fearful sounds and coin -
motion as made my blood run cold.
Ib was some momenta before I could ranks
cub what two animals were now engaged in
o, terrific combab within a few fool of me ;
but at laugtb, psrtly by sight and partly by
sound, concluded them be be a wolf and a
panther, the latter having leaped upon hie
victim from a great dietAiine.
The two were now struggling together in
the flaroeab manner—snarling, biting, fear-
ing f1madericg, and rolling over and over,
with the yelping and dancing dogs forming
an outer circle, mud prepared to rush In

VOLLOWiNG THE DOGS,,
I cautiously appromohad the animals as near
all Ithought prudent, watched my chance,
and poured the contents of my rifle into the
body of the panther, ae by far the more
dangerous of the own beasts,
I was not prepared for what followed. As
he knew by whrm he had been wounded In
bila very moment of victory, mud that, with
one vical powerless, he now had time to
revenge himself on another, the panther
uttered A sharp ooream and sprang directly
upon me.
