THE THREE GROWS,

One day on the shores OF a
lake whose water gldstened lin the
bright sunshine three black crows
found fish.
Cav, caw,'' said the first crow.
Cav, Cav, said the second crow.
"Caw, caw,'' said the third CROW
That was their way of quarrel

crows was determined to have

SO hard she could hardly swau ow,

They had gone almost half the

the panther skulking Through the
bushes and trees after them, sudden

cried, Oh, quick. quick and she

arm
He turned his head, and as the
black shape came toward them witt
leaps and bounds, he gave the
horses sharp cut with the whip.
Rosalie was now SO frightened
that she could not even scream.
The horses were seemingly rum
ming away, and yet the dark shape
was gaining rapidly She was frozen
with terror as she saw it coming
nearer and nearer.
Just as she thought she could
feel the Painthers awful teeth the
creature gave out loud, ''Bowt

ROsALIE.s PANTHER.

ROSALIE.S PANTHER.
One winter good many Years
ago, it began to be told from house
to house in little village DIN
Ohio that some fierce wild animal
was providing about.
No one had seen it, and no
one knew what it was But ONE
very dark night David Rollins was
reused from sound sleep by a
great believing and stamping i'm
has barn. He slipped into his clothes
as fast as he could and hurried
out to see what Was the matter.
He found all the cattle very much
excited and frightened, and pig
i'm a pen under the barn was
badly cut or scratched about the
head
A week later another neighbor,
Mr.. Gibson came home from his
woodchopping ONE evening very
much frightened. He had worked
later THAN usual, not starting for
home until almost dark When he
was coming through the wood he
heard a stick snap, and then am
other aInd then he heard soft
footballs, and became sure that
something was following him. He
did not dare run but walked as
fast as he COULD, and the thing
had followed him until he came
out in the open orchard just back
OF HIS house.
Two days later the whole
illage was stirred by the attempt
If some animal to attack Dam Sted-
MANS colt right in the barnyard.
Dan and his brother Henry were
milking when they heard the colt
scream. They rushed out just jim
time to see big, shadowy thing
| Leap over the bars at ONE jump
and disappear i'm the darkness.
They got lanterns and soon found
| the tracks i'm the snow. 1t was
panther and a big one too
Rosalie Stedman, Dams sister,
twelve years old, listened With bait
ed breath while the boys told OF
their find, and terror filled her
heart as she Thought of what might
happen to her father and brothers
| while at work in the woods with
such a fierce beast providing a.
round.
When the boys told their story
to the men of the village, they de-
cided to have grand hunt. ALL
the dogs and men of the settle
ment were to get together and
chase the animal until he should
be caught.
Rosalie helped her mother put
up luncheon for her father and
| brothers, for they did not know
how long they might be gone, per-
haps all night, at amy rate they
did not intend to come back un-
till they got the panther.
Toward evening word came that
SUSAN, a married sister
OF Rosalie's was sick, and wanted to
know if Rosalie could not come
and stay few days with her. A
little later Nathan came after her
i'm the Sleigh
1t was nearly dusk before they
could get started, and her sister
lived twelve miles down the river
but the road ON the smooth, broad
surface of THE river was easy to
travel and Rosalie was snugly
wrapped in red shawl and a
warm buffalo robe.
Her first Thought when they were
started was of the panther. What
