Ihe cry was loud in his ears, so close
that the screamer's breath seemed TO

from the water into the woods. Then
he knew what the screaming animal
was. At daylight the yelling ceased
Unarmed and alone, Will was
frightened, too, for had he not heard
the tales woodsmen tell of panthers

sun rose, he started for his boat at

had done. To tell the story of his
patient and systematic search for the
panther's lair during the next three
days and of the pictures he took is
not necessary. The fourth day had
its reward.
A cliff rises on the south end of
Ampersand, and is laved by little
pond called Tear-Drop, because it is
on the face of the mountain. The
outlet of the pond flows down a
beaver meadow three rods wide and
thirty long. On each side is a dense
tamarack swamp. The water is a

but mere brook, inches wide, where
it leaves the open.
Halfway down the meadow a wide
fiat rock raises its head to the level
OF the grass tops. This rock is COW

inches high. Will, who had never
seen the place before, arrived at the
upper end of the meadow about ten
O'Clock in the morning. He started
down the outlet to see how large a
stream was there. Near the rock he
noticed some drops of blood on the
grass blades and the tracks of a

A Tribute of Respect.

Dedicated to the memory of our dea r
wife, Lily j. Phillips, Who died the 2Sth
day of Sept. 1908. She was 20 years. 10
months and days old. We were mar
ried on Jan. 9Th, 1901, and not cloud
ever passed over our happy welded
life. She was devoted wife, an atfec-
tionate mother, kind friend, and
loving neighhor. 1t was only "A few
days ago that our Heavenly Father
summoned our darling to leave her
earthly home. Our hearts are still
bleeding from the deep wounds inhict-
ed by her death; and the last tribute we
can pay to her is to go and place fresh
flowers on her grave.
oh, how vivid is her picture
Memory brings to me today
OF her face so calm and peaceful
As she in her coffin lay.
oh, her beautiful hands 50 gently folded
ON her cold and silent breast
Gone where the wicked cease from
troubling
And the weary are at rest.
We miss thee from our home, dear Lily
We miss thee from this place
our home is dark without thee, dear Lily,
We miss thy smiling face.
We miss thee now, dear Lily,
We miss thee day by day.
Our pathway is lonely without thee,
dear Lily
Along the darksome way.
No more fatigue, no more distress, dear
Lily,
No more sickness, pain and death
Are felt and heard by thee.
No signs shall mingle with thy joys.
A precious one from us is gone
A voice we loved is stilled,
\ place in our home is vacant, dear Lily,
Which can never be filled
'Tis hard to break the tender cord, dear
Lily,
When love has bound the heart;
'Tis hard, so hard, To speak the words,
dear Lily.
I'VE must forever part"
Yet again we hope to meet thee. dear
Lily,
When the day of life is He'd
And in Heaven to greet thee, dear I.ilv,
Where no parting tears are shed.
