Philip knew what it was almost at the
first glance; for on the hearth a bit of
fat pine wood hamed brightly, giving a
strong light which filled the room. This
was about an hocr after nightfall, and out
of doors it was pitch dark. The panther
leaped upon the poor dog and killed him i'll
short order. Philip, crouching in the little
loft felt a chill of awful fear run through
his blood. His situation was, indeed, ap-
parently hopeless. for his gun was IN the
rack over the door; he dared not descend,
and yet he knew that at ere bound the
PANTHER would reach the loft. 1t was, in
fact already glazing upward at him, eVi-

Even in the extremity of danger, Philip
felt o pang of sympathy and sorrow, sec

noor, bleeding ana gasping his last. But
there was no time for grief or regret; the
panther, an enormous brute, thoroughly
errag,ed by the dogs attack and rendered
rayenous by a smack of blood, was III no
mood to delay his murderous work.
Philip, like nearly ali the pioneer boys,
had the bump of resistance largely deNei-

of helping himself he could not tamely

as the panther Sprang up he leapcd Gown,
and uninJentlonany the TWO met IN nldSir
pecteu, out Ph.lIp attnougn dashed back
ward INTO corner Oh the room, did not
lose his presence of mind. lie fell to the
1iOor ana at tne same time scrambled 10
the broadaN, and SEEING it with both
hands, once more swung it vigorously
against his antagonist Ihis time the wide,
keen blade cut open the side OF the pam
Tiers head smashing the bone ana cut
ting out an eye. Again and again Philp
struck, laying INTO the blows ali the energy
called up by the desperate situation. What
seems most wonderful IS the fact tnat not
a scratch did the boy receive, and he killed
the panther, fairly chopping it to pieces
after he had crippled il.
In a quaint letter written long afterwards
by Philip is the following passage, which l
copy from a sheet of foolscap yellow with
age:
land that paynter waved at leest three
numbered powns and that brOdaX never was
no count no more, bycos | broke the age
off on the paynters he'd when / hit it over
the H.
brother, who was afterward killed in
fight at NickSburS.
