eyes fastened upon another form which
was slowly approaching it from di-
rection parallel to that taken by Mrs.
Stapley in leaving the corral.
The mother at once recognized the
person nearing the brute as Panther
Joe" and with intent fascination, the
greatest dread, and fearful suspense
did she watch his every movement. He
was stopping over to about half his
natural height and had his eyes, which
in the closing twilight were blazing
like Goals of fire, riveted upon those of
the beast. With his left hand he held
between his lips the mouth organ on
which he was playing some low, strange
and weird music, while in his right
hand he held switch cut from mes
quite bush. He placed his feet upon
the earth with the greatest care, MAX
ing not the slightest noise, and with
each step he took he crouched lower
and the monotone notes of the rude in
strument grew more soft.
The panther lashed its tail gently,
and its eyes never left those of the Va
qui while he SO slowly and silently ap-

preached it, yet it kept it's feet upon
the child all the while, and did not
show the slightest inclination to aban-
don its prey. As Joe drew nearer and
nearer the savage animal became less
at ease, but his actions were more that
of dog punished into submission by
its master than of wild and ferocious
beast seeking a meal on human flesh.
Its power to move seemed lost; it
appeared to be under a fascination as
strong as that which serpent ever ex-
ercised over bird. When within about
six feet of the panther Joe stopped
playing on the mouth organ, and while
uttering some words in a low tone,
slowly Strengthened to his natural
heighth.
At single stride he was at the side
of the brute, and with an exclamation
of reproval he hit it sharp blow over
the head with the switch. The pam
ther took first one paw and then the
other from the body of the child and
walked away doggedly for few yards,
when it stopped, turned around and
licked its chops, as though it was not
yet disposed to abandon its meal.
However, sharp "Hi-yi!" from the In
dian caused it to take trot and quick
ly disappear over the hills.
Picking up the child, Joe returned
it to the delighted mother, who has
tened to receive it, and without wait
ing for her thanks he turned away and
followed the direction taken by the
~anther, vouchsafng the compli-
mentary remark: "Usted brave GOO
man; usted no shoote; usted no
holler."
The miners all heard the remarka-
BILE account next day when Stapley
came up to the diggings for the pur-
pose of thanking Joe. But the Yaqui
was absent. and it was two days be-
fore he again put in an appearance.
When he did so he showed signs of dis
sipation, but, as it was known that he
would have been unable to reach any
place where whisky was to have been
obtained without the miners learning
of it, this condition was attributed to
his experience with the panther at the
time the child was rescued or after he
had followed it from Stapleys place.
Nothing could induce Joe to converse
on the subject until some weeks after
ward, when one of the miners killed
panther, over which fact the Yaaui
grieved greatly and stated that the
animal was his friend and the one from
which he saved me little child.
The next winter was dry one and
the placers did not pan out well, so
Ralph Smith, who is yet resident
and prominent citizen of Arizona, or
ganized party of ten men, Panther
Joe being of the number, to prospect
for gold in the Mongollon Mountains.
One evening, a few days after reach
ing the desired locality and making
camp, Smith and a companion named
Phil Teal, while returning to supper
from disappointing examination of
gulch which from all appearances gave
much promise of containing gold, had
their attention suddenly attracted to
the bottom land of mountain stream
by humdrum, monotonous song, fol-
lowed by particularly hearty laugh.
Feeling the necessity of ascertaining
