little courage, I stepped around be-
hind the leanto and fired both barrels
of the shotgun up into the air, think
ing in that way to brighten away our
tormentor. 1t seemed to have con-
trary effect. Almost simultaneously
with the discharge of the second bar
rel, with a short but aWfully piercing
yell, the brute jumped toward the
place where I stood from his standing
place, thirty or forty feet back in the
bushes, and landed so near me that I
only very dimly by the light OF the fire
actually felt on my face some OF the
dirt he kicked up when he landed. The
leap was so sudden and unexpected
that was, for the moment, paralyzed
with fright and stood like a dummy,
waiting for him to seize me, as ] fully
expected he would I could see him
behind me. for you know how one is
bothered when going away from
light and looking at once into the
darkness beyond. Within a few sec
onds my wits returned, and 1 made
a break for the protection of the fire,
leaving the cat crouched in the shad-
ow back of our camp.
"A sudden inspiration led ne to
think of a little bundle of nails we
had brought to help build the shelter
with. Hastily turning big charge OF
powder into the right barrel, wadding
it with piece of lining from my jack
ct, then charged it with a good sized
handful of those nails, rammed home
another bit of cotton to hold them In
place, and felt ready for fight. The
way that brute had jumped right up
into our camp had made me mad, az
soon as I recovered from the first
shock of it. and l thirsted for his
blood, fully determined to put an end
to his bowling for good and all if he
gave me a chance.
Telling George to back me with his
axe, I crept round the corner of the
camp and, after looking for two Or
three minutes, was able to make out
the animal still crouching in the par
tial shadow of maple tree. 1t was, of
course, a foolish thing to do. for a
miss would have brought a wounded
panther right on top of us in jiffy,
but my blood was up and 1 could not
wait another second, so drawing up
the gun, 1 took a good aim at the
outlines in the shadow and pulled the
| trigger.
The recoil of the heavy charge al
most knocked me over backward, and
at first 1 could not tell what had hap
| pened. But the beast was still lying
in the same place when l looked, and.
| taking a burning stick from the fire,
we both approached him with axes
ready. He was quite dead and that
| handful of nails had torn an ugly
hole in his neck.
so l know. as 1 said before, that
| there have been panthers in Maine.
| That one was over seven feet from
| the tip of his tail to his nose, and his
| jump, when we came to look things
over by daylight, must have been over
so feet
We were too much excited to sleep
any more that night, and the next,
after skinning the panther, we had to
| go out to Madrid to tell the story and
send the hide to a taxidermist. 1t
came out in the discussion that fol-
lowed our adventure that no panthers
had been seen in that vicinity for more
than Is years, with the exception of
one big one which had been caught in
trap the preceding spring by the
farmer who lived the nearest to the
scene of our night combat"

The Man Who Made That Plank.


Another fact which will not escape
comment is the part played by Hawaii in de-
termining the character of the platform repor
ted by thecommttee on resolutions. John H.
Wise, delegate from our new possessions in
the Pacific ocean, expressed great pride and
satisfaction while addressing the convention
that Hawaii had cast the decisive vote for sill
yer. 1t appears that Hawaii was generously
given representation on the committee, its
spokesman being Prince David Kawauauakoa.
a statesman never heard of on this continen
until he arrived at Kansas City. Prince Davi 4
seems at first to have voted against q silver
plank, and the committee was then evenly d.
vided. Anon, the Prince must have heard of
that dreadful ultimatum from Lincoln, for he
suddenly changed his position and voted for
the silver declaration. THIS party which
represents nearly 100000 American voters
finds itself committed to suicidal policy
through the action of dusky statesman from
Pacific island Possibly there are some Re
publicans who in the past have doubted the
wisdom of annexing Hawaii, but it is safe to
wager that Mr.. Hanna is not among the num-
Der. Prince David's vote for free silver in the
Kansas City Convention amply compensates
Mr.. Hanna's party for any odium which it
may have incurred by adding Hawaii to our
territorial possessions. On the other hand, it
will occur to most Democrats that their own
party has been placed in ridiculous position
when it allowed its policy to be determined by
q princeet from Pacific island. Surely, a
political organization which dates back to JEFF
ferson ought to have been able to define its
principles without The assistance of a scion of
the royal house of Hawaii Did Mr. Hanna
ring in" this Prince of the House of David
upon the unsophisticated Democrats at Kan
sas City or was he Struggled into the commit
tee by Mr.. Bryan and his friends? Whatever
the truth may be, it will be many day before
the last is heard of Prince David, the man who
made the silver plank in the platform of the
Kansas City Convention. Hawaii is fairly en-
uIleu 10 a case OF dig neau" Tor the great
triumph achieved by its statesman.
