fight. Besides this, the atmosphere OF
such place affected ones fancy. 1t had
been the scene Of heaven only knows how
much crime and agony. cold wind
blew, flying clouds kept it dark, and
amidst signs, hootings, or long drawn
walls from imprisoned gusts, that stopped
up spring dripped and chuchled, gasped
and choked, like man strangling in his
blood.
al was awakened instantly. or woke
spontaneously from an uneasy doze, to
hear faint, low gurgling noise that
brought me afOot, rifle in hand, more
suddenly than could thunder-peal or
trumpet-call. Nobody who has heard the
death-sob ever forgets it-ever makes a
mistake about that awful sound. Some
confused dark object tossed in the gate
way. AS ] started forward with shouts
which startled everybody. out their wraps,
the fiery green eyes Of a panther glared
for one moment out of the gloom; there
was a harsh, savage snarl, and then |
saw and fired at the meereSt shadow
fitting swiftly away. All this happened
in far less time than it takes to tell, but
that unmistakable thud made by a strik-
ing bullet came to my ears, and it had
scarcely been recognized for what it was
before the open space in front seemed
filled with the raving and struggles of a
artly-paralyZed panther. His spine was
fractured far back, and disabled him from
charging; but he tried to drag himself up
tC us, and except that the animal had
gone distracted with fury, and mostly
rolled about tearing at his own body,
there is no telling where this still-terrible
form might not have been flung. 1t did
not take long to reload, go up close, and
pour both barrels into the frcnzied beast.
"Goonput RaO lay STILL and / had
sickening certainty that it would be Of
no use to look at him, never having vet
known a panther attack upon single men
taken unawares to issue otherwise than
fatally. His throat was bitten through,
its great vessels severed-the beasts dead

life simultaneously. That is what such
brutes always do if possible, and they
probably fail less frequently than any
other man killing creatures i'll existence"

"You know the route we traversed-
that Stony plain merging in an appar-
entity endless stretch OF desert; those
wine-red nights on the right, rifted and
cut everywhere by torrents; the hill Of
strife on which and in whose bowels
is that endless fantastic palace fortress,
whereof no man knows either the extent
or those horrors it has seen. Off on the
horizon a dark splotch against the burn
ing sky showed our destination; but we
did not reach it till evening shadows
began to lengthen. Then / saw a scarped
hillside on whose crest some few shade
less date-palms shot up from gray dhak-
Jungle. In front everything remained
nearly as OF old, ma SSiye and immense;
monstrOus with a mad profusion OF gro
tesque carvings that made the whole
structure look as if it had come bodily out
of some nightmare. 7----. --
Eve found cloister with several rooms
opening under the arcade, put our ser
wants in one, and made such simple
preparations as were needed for ourselves
within another. Wood was gathered, as
the nights are chill, and having tied up
a Ifampore houud to play sentinel, |
washed at an artificial basin into which
half chohed spring welled internationally,
ate supper, and lay down TO talk at ease.
Now, say nothing about Goonput Rao's
communications, except that the cOnver-
sation OF this artless individual-odds
and ends from his own personal expert
ences related as matters Of cOurse-wOuld
probably have surprised most civilized
human beings greatly. This night passed
quietly, yet by morning the dog was gone.
Splashes OF blood lay about, but no
search brought to light any other sign.
What had happened, however, was per
fectly plain. There is only y one wild beast
that can do things Of this kind, or will
take the risks. Panthers prefer dogs to
almost any other prey, and kill them with
a daring-a silent deadly certainty-that
actually seems uncanny.
"After spending all day in an unsuc-
cessfui hunt for this or some similar
marauder, a different disposition was made
