his hand His hat was on the log.
WHO is hep" 1 asked of my guide
That's Panther Jim,'' was his an
swer.
Approaching and taking a seat on
the log beside the venerable man
said: Pardon me, but why do they
call you Panther Jim?'" Looking
over me as if to say i don't care who
you are, I'm not afraid of you," the
old man began and narrated the fol-
lowing story:
1T was this. way, stranger. UP
in these regions back in the
thirties there was heap of
game, deer, bear, panthers.
Every fall three of us, Jack, Tom and
myself, would take our guns, dogs and
camping-traps and go into the big
woods for a hunt.
Zone snowy morning we started
from camp each in a different direc-
ton. 1 took my dog along. He and
were always together. His name was
Lion, not because he looked like
lion, but because he was brave and
had lots of sense. Why, sir, that dog
could talk, indeed he could, stranger,
not in words, of course, but with his
eyes, ears and tail Even the hair on
his back had tongues. If said,
Guard himr he would waltz around a
bear or panther in Jim Corbett style.
If 1 said, 'Sieze himr he would come
the Fitzsimmons racket to perfection.
If L said, Watch him. he would
crouch in threatening silence like one
of Napoleon's old guards. If l said,
Take him!' he would wade in like
John L. Sullivan and fight to the death.
The old dog and had many battle
| in these parts, some sad ones.
The day 1 speak of it turned cold, and
all game went under cover. Lion and
l tramped and tramped and found
nothing. 1t looked as if we would
have to come into camp empty.
''But late in the afternoon we blum
dered onto a panther's track. 1t was
big one and hot one, going toward,
the camp. Lion examined it, then
looked up and asked; Master, what
had we better do about it?' 1 replied:
The cat is going our way, old boy, so
let's Jog along Lion took the trail
and moved on but cautiously for pan
theirs are treacherous and cunnin g
brutes and often get in their finest
work where it is least expected, Lion
knew this and acted accordingly. We
followed the cat, eyes and ears open,
and soon came to the mouth of
cavern in ledge of rocks.
This was one of the cats dens
and into it the beast had
gone for a nap. 1t was near our
camp. Lion crept up to the cave,
peered in, then came back and looking
me squarely in the eyes, earnestly and
seriously, said, Master it is late, the
cat is a big one and has the advantages;
let's go to camp and look after him in
the morning." Stranger, I'm not
chicken hearted or S11nerStitiOu9 Rut
that dog foresaw what was coming.
1 wish l had taken his advice.
''But it was getting late and what
was to be done had to be done
quickly. Putting old Lion on the
head L said Watch him, boy!' and
clambered up into the rocks Below
me was an opening and through it I
could see a fringe of the cats hair.
Sticking the barred of my gun into
this opening 1 blazed away three
times as fast as could. L did not ex-
pect to hit the beast but thought
that perhaps the noise and the gum

Miss Pauline Walienstein Is still uncon
scious, but happily her physician is very
hopeful OF her recovery.
It was reported last night tha. Miss
Wallenstein was dead, but upon inquiry
Of her friends it was not only denied but
they said she was getting along very nicely.
The accident which rendered Miss Wal
leustein unconscious was a very sad one
and was deeply regretted by all classes
Yesterday. Miss Wallenstein Is not only
IA beautiful young lady in appearance but
she is highly endowed with all the mental
charms and fine traits OF womanhood,
hence the universal regret IN manifested at
the accident which befel her and the
anxiety concerning her condition.
Sunday MessFs. /. Goldsmith and a. L.
Hirsch employed carriage 20 entertain
Misses WalensIein and frma Levy of
Kansas City, and Stella Negbaar of Kan
sas City, with suburban ride. The
happy people were returning from a jeunt
through the pleasant eavoirnments Of
Wichita when a little cur dog snapped at
the horses, which were driven by Bob
Massey. on West Lewis street Toe
horses became frightened and unmRnsge
able and dashed east on Lewis street AT a
fearful gait At Fourth avenue the team
made sharp turn in their rapid Hight and
the driver WAS thrown from his seat.
This gave the frightened anlmals fuII
latitude for their terrific flight and also
served 10 spread alarm among
the occupants The ladies jumped out
fast as they could regardless or the conse-
quences and the darkness which sur
rounded them and, in time, Mr.. Goldsmith
also Jumped so that he might be of service
TO the LADIES in case any Of them were i'll
jursd. Returning he found Miss Nallen
stein in the road unconscious and he sum-
moned help. She was taken into the near
est house and a physician summoned. She
WAS afterwards taken home where she
still lies in an unconscious condition.
She is suffering from conclusion OF the
brain. DIR. McAdams Is attending her.
Sue is liable 10 remain uncon-
scious for some time yet. but
the doctor has great hopes of her recovery
although her condition is quite serious.
DR. McA dams has had similar cases all Of
which resulted favorably.
The other occupants OF the carriage were
bruised more or less, but they forgot their
own injuries very rapidly upon learning
of the more serious injuries received by
their friend and companion.
Bob Massey. the driver, Is laid up with
sprained back aud other annoying and
painful bruises.
1t Is stated by one OF the parties in the
terrible ride that no blame is attached to
anybody as the runaway was mere acci-
dent caused by snappish little dog.
