could raise the rife, and only got a snap
shot rs he went of, hitting him, but 1t was
too dark to scc to follow. In tho fork Of
the tree were the remains of q young
nylghau, which evidently the panther had
killed early In the day, eaten what he
could and then dragged the rest I'D the
tree, 80 as to be out of the way of yultures
and jcckals.
The next morning took up the blood
trail, and about 80 yards of found the
panther under a bush not big enough to
hide hare, yet neither nor my men had
seen him until We were all but on him.
One step more, and he must have sprung
on one Of us, when my lucky shot caught
him between the eyes.
Panthers are nasty, uncertain brutes and
can hide in cny cover. As rule, they will
attack you; but, while have seen some
charge home without provocation, have
seen an occasional one run like beaten
dog. Nothing would make him fight.
Twice have seen them, when wounded,
charge almost within springing distance
and then stop. One of these two sat down
on his launches within five yards of me
and roarrd whilo I reloaded. He had been
seen in cave at the top of a small hill,
and the men said he could be shot as he
lay. Colonel G. watched the entrance Of
the cave while climbed tho hill and
then saw the panther through cleft shelv-
ing IN the center, SO that could not fire
without hitting the rock. We tried to
tempt the BEAST out by shaking turban
IN 'front.' OF the mouth of the cave All he
would do was to put out enc fore leg. 1
sent bullet through this, hopine to stop
him with the second barrel rs he went of,
put the Face was too good, and missed
him; so did Colonel c. from below. was
not quite sure which was the most danger
GUS, for the colonel's bullets whizzcd about
pretty freely among the rocks, but after
emptyine my two rifles the panther sud-
denly appeared on the top of the rock, 20
yards of, and came straight for me. I
hurried up my reloading. Fortunately no
one moved, and when some four or five
yards distant tho panther sat down and
roarcd until shot him dead.
On the other occasion, when the PANTHER
charged, the cartridge jammed, and 1 could
.neither get It in nor cut. He did not.
however, come home or wait till could
get another rifle, but made of with a bro
ken shoulder. and never saw him again.
Panthers stink away and hide SO easily
that many escape without being fred at. I
have killed many more tigers than ran
theirs, though the latter are certainly the
more numerous of the two.
One morning COW was killed close by.
Bcatcrs were collected and tho guns vere
posted, most Of us in trees Colonel b.
said 1t was too much trouble to climb q

chair on tie ground with,a sepoy by him.

delay. But directly the beat began heard

old friend that he should draw the bull by
running across the small glade where we

meant certain death to him. I then said
that We must both retire together; that,
too, WINS certain death-for ono, or both.
However, he presently saw that to climb
the tree was the lesser Of the two evils, az
I should check tho bulls charge. So,
mastering his courage and telling me

all directions, though they made hot haste
to get nway when they caught sight of the
maddened Frcnchinan, his two big guns
and his belt full Of ammunition. Lieuten-
ant Laughlin was in citizens clothes. He
pressed Reaume closely. A negro porter,
seeing Iaughlin with q revolver in his
hand, :nistook him for the maniac and
hurled q brick at his head. The lieutcn-
ants skull was nearly cracked by the force
Of the blow, but he kept on after the de-
mented Frenchman, who finally sought
refuge in q corner and turned at bay.
Laughlin walked straight up to him and
took both his revolvers away and led the
man out prisoner
"It was way back in 1873 that had the
closest shave for my life while in discharge
o. police duty" said Captain Charles G.
Koch of the Harrison Street station. "One
Of Uncle Sans letter boxes saved my life
that March night, but, as it was, dawn
found me with fractured skull, q broken
arm and smashed rib or two. I was
travelling out Of Deering Street station, and
one night, when near the corner Of Halsted
and Thirty streets, saw Officer
Rcinhardt struggling with two men in the
middle of the sidewalk. ! ran to his as
sistance and had grabbed one of his assail-
ants, when four more men appeared and
assaulted Rcinhardt and myself. Some
how or other we got separated, and I had
the greater part Of the crowd on top Of me-
One Of them had q big piece Of scantling in
his hand. He made drive at my head
with It, and threw up my left arm to
ward of the blow. The result was o bro
ken bone and q useless arm. Three of the
assailants were at my back and two in
front. We fought from one sidewalk across
the street to the other ut point directly
under q lamppost.
"They took my club away from me, and
when the opposite side Of the street had

finished me II the stick had ever struck the
mark. Tho shadows fooled him little,
however, and the blow fell square on top
Of the letter box attached t. the lamppost,
and the iron was shattered in fragments.
At that instant succeeded in getting my
revolver from my pocket, and the man who
