AT length, ripping up the bark with ferocious


and quick growl,g drew its rerumbent length


together, then suddenly expanding ITSELF sprung
through the air towards its victim The hunter,


who had eagerly watched his motions, with


shrek Of horror, sprung aside, but unfortunately


held to the sapling with almost convulsiye grasp.


The sharp claws of the animal fixed in his cloth
ing and seemed nigh to have carried him headloug
with it over the dread abyss--for moment It
seemed that the panther would recover hisfooting,
but with an intuitve presence of mind, the old
man ripped asunder h,s clothing and i fell from ON
rocks with its blood, till the welcome sound Of its
fall the earth struck his ears joyfully a. the
sound Of liberty to the captive. He rushed to-
wards his rifle, fearful perhaps, that life was not
yet extinct in his enemy. Soon, however, the
contents of his piece were lodged in the head Of
his foe, while a prayer went up to heaven from
his lips in gratitude for his preservation. The
hunter exhibited hisstrophy; but his terror and
toll had been too great-he expired in short
time after. @ {iE .H9as1 e932 Al
