jungle have led us to expect. This lit
tie tale Is of hungry panther which
found man asleep in a dugout beside
dying fire. The panther was thirst
ing for a taste of blood and thought
the man would make an appetizing

of the deer. The man was a thorough
woodsman, and felt danger in the air;
therefore, he did not stir, but merely
cast his eyes about and realized the

and put bullet into the evil heart of
the big beast. The story is we'll writ
