Blind Death
By M. QUAD
copyright, 1915, by the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate.1

We were hunting among the Black
Hills soon after the first rush Of home
steaders and spectators in that direc-
ton, and one day I left camp on my
own hook and wandered away three
Or four miles. AS I stood resting be-
side a tree l saw a deer only a pistol
shot away. 1t was a fine buck, and
he walked into the open as cool and
unconcerned as if nobody had ever
thirsted for his life.
ought to have dropped him dead at
that distance, but he fell at my fire to
get up and limp away, and, knowing
him to be MORALLY wounded, follow
ed after. The ground was very rough
and coveredswith cedar thickets, and,
being bit excited, pushed On as fast
as possible and paid little heed Of what
was underfoot. Of a sudden I found
myself falling, and as 1 went down I
dropped my gun to clutch at the
branches. I went down ten or twelve
feet over rocks, struck On my feet and
then plunged forward and brought up
beside a big detached rock with a
smash severe enough to have killed one
outright. did break two ribs and ter
ribly bruise my hip and tainted away
with the pain.
When l came to I was lying on my
right side, facing the jungle of rocks
over which I had fallen, and I realized
at once that 1 was badly hurt-just
how badly I hesitated to find out, re-
membering that was miles away
from camp and could expect no help.
I lay quiet, hoping the pains would
soon go away, when I got such a shock
as nearly put my wits to sleep again.
Almost in front Of me and only TWEEN
ty-five feet away was the mouth Of
den in the face of the cliff, and out Of
this den stalked the largest panther
had ever seen. He stood snufing the
air and looking full at me, and when
I realized how helpless I was even TO
utter a call for aid I almost lost con-
seriousness.
The wind was blowing pretty freely,
and, luckily for me, it blew toward me.
At first this was not of the slightest
Importance to my mind, as the beast
could reach me with one spring, but I
soon had reason to conclude that he
was queer animal. He turned to the
left and trotted over the ground a dis
lance Of about fifty feet; then he
wheeled and passed the den by about
the same distance. When he had gone
over the beat two Or three times I dis
covered what was the matter. AS he
came toward me the sun shone full in
his face, and I saw that he was stone
blind. There was a white film over
each eye, and he could not have seen
a tree in his path.
Disease Or accident had blinded him,
but he possessed every other power ma
ture gives to the dreaded beast-grace,
litheness, strength-death!
There is curious fascination in
watching the beast as he takes his
promenade. / forget my pains as l
rejoice over his blindness. Had he
| been possessed of his erstwhile vision
aye, could he but see ever so little
he would spring upon me, fasten those
long yellow fangs into my throat, and
in thirty seconds all would be over.
But he is blind. He cannot discover
my presence if I remain quiet.
Heaven save me!
