( Inc cOmbatants were thrown over ana
over, the robes were soon in tatters and
Hugh was bleeding from dozen wounds
and getting weaker every minute.
The panther got his left arm in its
jaws and crunched it savagelv. making
blood squirt out in streams. Then Hugh,
for the first time, saw the rope around
its necks Grasping it desperately with
his free hand, he pulled ON the moose
with all his might.
The suffocating pressure caused the
beast to let go his left arm, but in its
agony it tore pieces of flesh off his right
and threw him to the bottom of the cut-
ter.
With a frightful roar it crouched over
him, and its great paws tore at his breast.
All seemed lost, when the runaway team
turned a sharp corner. The cutter
swung too short and was overturned.
Out pitched Hugh, and the panther on
| topof him. But they did not remain to-
gether a second, for while Hugh lay still,
exhausted, bruised and bleeding, the
panther was whisl1ed off his feet and
jerled head over heels after the cutter.
The rope was tied to the seat, as men
toned before, and the furious gallon of
the scared team tightened its hold round
the panther's neck and gave the beast no
chance to regain its feet
Choked, battered and torn, it was rolled
and dragged and yanked after the cutter
until every bone in its body was broken.
When within hundred yards of the
village the cutter collided with tree
and was dashed to pieces.
The arrival of two runaway horses
alarmed the people, and they set out to
search the road piece They soon
found the broken cutter and the dead
body of the panther, and not long after
ward they met Hugh, limping along in
the snow.
His wounds were dressed. and few
hours later the doctor reached Toms
wife
For week Hugh had to stay in the
settlement, but as soon as his wounds
would allow il he went back to his house.
TOMS wife had in the meantime wholly
recovered, and under her loving care
Hugh's wounds were speedily healed
not only those of his body, but also
those of his mind-and the three neigh
bors have remained the best of friends
ever since
Hugh has still the torn skin of the
panther, and entertains high regard
for the trophy of that perilous sleigh

A curious accident occurred to rider
at Westminster, N. c. While seated on
his horse at the depot, train rolled up,
at which the horse became SO frightened
that he backed upon the rotten plank
covering Of an old well, which broke and
let both horse and rider through. An
old rail was sticking in the muddy bot
tom, on which the horse was impaled.
His struggles were fearful, and his rider,
who, strange to say, did not get unseat-
ed, had narrow escape from being
crushed to death. AS it was, he was
severely hurt before being rescued, The
well was forty feet deep, and the horse
died before he could be pulled out

A story with little romance In It is
that of s. r. W., OF Bridgeport, Conn.,,
who was returning from England on an
ocean steamer, One night he dreamed
that his wife, who was then in Bridge
port, opened the door Of his stateroom,
looked hesitatingly in and then came for
ward and kissed him. When he awoke
in the morning the man who occupied
the upper berth in his stateroom looked
down and said; you're a pretty fellow
to let woman come in here in the night
and kiss you" Pressed for an explana-
tion, he described the scene which he
had experienced.
Arrived at home, ne was asked by his
wife; "Did you receive visit from me

With dimly defined purpose of teach

Have you any old clothes to give a

aggressive, but carefully disguised voice
when the lady presented herself.
Mrs. Billus looked at the sOiled, grimy,
disreputable looking object before her
with some interest. Whether or not she

The worst case of 'ice fever" that has
been experienced to date appears to be
that of a Pemaquid (Me.) citizen. He
had big load of eighteen cakes, aud got
about half way down to the wharf, when
his cart tongue came out. Not noticing
anything wrong he kept on driving his
oxen, and just before he reached the
wharf met team in rather bad place
He told the driver of the team that he
didn't know as he could get by him with
his big load, but on being told that he
would have no trouble naturally looked
back at his load to see what the fellow
meant His surprise can be imagined

AFTER TWENTY YEARS

Ny wife's a winsome wee thing,
Wed twenty years or mair,
And aye the BONNER growing,
As bath mine eyes declare.
'Tis love that made her hlnnie,
Aud love that keeps her sac.
Ia spite o time aud fortune,
On life's uncannie way.
Love scares ava the wrinkles
From Oh her smooth, white brow
And duty done through good and IN
Aye keeps her conscience true
Aud yields her happy peace of mind,
1t e'er the world goes wrong,
And turns the murmur of lament
Into a cheerful song,
The kisses gather on her lips
Like blossoms ou the rose,
And kindly thoughts reflect the light
That in her bosom glows-
As wavelets in a running stream
Reflect the noontide ray,
And sparkle with the light Of heaven
When ripping on their way.
She is a winsome wee thing
Aud more than twenty year
She's twined herself about my heart
BY all that can endear;
By all that can endear on earth
Foreshadowiug things above,
And lead my happy soul to heaven,
Rejoicing in her love
