1SJ asked Tad, the captain'
. G '? Boru
"No," said the sergeant, as he ont
at the top of a sage-brash with the
loose end ot the lariat hanging at his
' saddle. "I didn't hear it, bat it
yelled, I guess. Billy Murphy was
ou guard down, at Post* Ko. ?2, and
ha didn't dare walk the length of his
beat"
"Let's go there to-night and fetoh
it in," said the boy.
"No-nol"
The soldier rarely spoke ia so po s i
tira a manner to his younger com
panion. They had grown to be quite
good friends. So Sergeant. Gore
; looked at the trim figure bj his side
: and admired-as a cavalryman would
i -r-Tad*s,posture in, the saddle. And
. then.ho gazed dawn the long road tb
; the bluff on the shingly ledges- of
which- the panther they had been
speaking of was said to prowl nt night
aud call to the echoes in that fearsome
voice.
Gore was a well-born, well-trained
younjg fellow who had enlisted in the
ranks. of tba regalar army at a time
? when penniless and discouraged, as
has many another son of a good family.
He* seemed peculiarly attractive to
this boy. " Tad admired Gore because
- he was cb;erer than the others. Gore
was a better shot and a better horse
man, and he was the best wrestler iu
. the fort.- And there is nothing that
3o appeals to the soul of the boy as
ability in that close struggle of
athletes, that embrace of gladiators,
out of which com es the triumph of tho
uuarmed hands, the victory of the un
aided muscles and skill. V
- And Tad's father, the captain, had
not discouraged an association which
gave his son pleasure and seemed to
make'the lad more manly.
.'Couldn't we kill the panther, Ser
geant?"
~ ''We might, and we might not.
- The last man in tho troop who went out
to kill a panther came back in a sling
between two pack-mules; and he
didn't get off sick-report for three
montos. Now, see here, Tad. Get

"Pretty moe thing to Ir?tf a pan

'Tes; and then-??*'
"Sergeant, are you afraid of her?"
"I'm not afraid of anything alive,"
said the sergeant, calmly.
"If you are not afraid, why don't
"you go?"
"We don't do all the things we dare
to do."
"JKhat, for instance?"
"Well, I dare tell Higgins, when we
get to camp, that I won't mount guard
to-morrow."
"Then why don't you?"
- ."Because it is my duty to mount
guard whenever he details me. He's
the orderly sergeant."
"1 saw you throw him one time,"
said Tad, irrelevantly; and then he
stopped to laugh at the recollection.
Higgins was a very strong man;
and one day in spring, before mount
ed drill was- begun, the soldiers- got
np a tournament on the parade-ground,
where the orderly sergeant challenged
any one to wrestle. Tad remembered
Gore's acceptance, and how the big
ger man had strutted to the encoun
ter; bow the two had gripped to the
work, and how presently Gore had
caught the huge weight on his hip, and
had flung the other heels overbad in
one great sweep, and had landtfd "bim
fairly and finally.
But that was months ago. . Tad
looked np at the distant bluff while
the buglers were blowing a retreat,
but he stood in "the attitude of a
- soldier" ?, when the jflag came down to
the booming of the evening gun
That night he made his bed on the
floor of the upper porch, and lay there
wondering at the a tar s till long after
taps?' Time and again-he.caught him
self almost across the border-land of
dreams, and it seemed to bim the
lagging midnight must have passed
when the sound for which he waited
reached bis ears. And then the sud
denness of it, the savage strength of
that panther's cry, startled the
courageous little fellow till his heart
was still. The half-human quality of
the tone added to the terror of it.
Then his breath came back, and
with it his daring. And the next time
the cry was raised he knew the shingly
shelves of the bluff were then a prom
enade for the panther.
Next night Sergeant Gore was on
guard, but the next after he was free;
and time and again he wondered
where Tad was in hiding; for he had
not seen the boy since dinner-call.
Lang and Warner were up the
gulch with an eight-mule team, and
they came in at sundown with a load
of wood. When they had unharnessed
the mules Lang found Sergeant Gore
stretched on his bunk, trying to read
by the afterglow.
"Oh, Gore, here's a note from the
Captain's kid," said the teamster
Lang, carelessly.
.. .Gore peered nt the penciled lines:
' ' DEAR SEE SE INT : I am up on the
bluff. If you don't come and'get me,
'may be the panther will. TAD.
A cayuse pony was picketed back
of the quartermaster's' store, and
Sergeant Gore took a turn of the rope
around the animal's jaw, leaped to thc hi
bare back, and galloped-to the hills, qt
Ho carried his carbine, and a belt of ra
cartridges was buckled about him. pi
And every muscle of his splendid m
frame quivered; for he loved1 the; eg

PANTHER.
Tad had calculated the noto'might
dot be do! i yere d until after dr k; and
he crept along the slaty shel res rn til
Lie found a little recess where the
loose earth had been worn away by
the wind and the rain, and he climbed
3own there and baoked in. About six
feet below was a broad ledge which
foaclled fal' around to ike right? By
lying flat hld tac? just c?m? te the1
sd go of his harrow shelf, Whil? his
feet were pressed to the farthest
spaces in his little refuge.- He pulled
his rifle within easy reaching dis
tance, and then looked out and dared
che panther to come.
Straight before him, down the val
ley, was the fort. He watched the
twinkling light.-' go out in the mess
?all, and knew the belated teamsters
aad arrived in camp. And his faith
.vas so Arm in Sergeant Gore that he
lever doubted the soldier was coming.
Presently he heard the. dull beat of
loofs on the long road, But it was
rom unshod feet, and not a cavalry
?orse. That chilled his courage a
ittle. And just as he tried to con
rince himself that he was wrong, and
learched for hope that an army horse
tndjno.t a pony was galloping toward
lim, ? shriek not fifty feet away rent
he wonderful silence of the hills.
His little body was positively
if ted and shaken with the. shock of
t. And theo, because he was a cap
ain's son, Ted hammered, his bare
mackies against the stone, and forced
tis courage to come back.
He peered over the edge of his
keif at the broad ledge below; he
ooked straight down there a hundred
eet to the foot of the bluff; and ho
ould not tell for the life of him from
rhat direction that thrilling cry had
orno. ~
Then a pebble was loosed, and fell
own the bluff, around somewhere to
lie right of Tad's refuge and he
ailed: "Sergeant!"
He heard something n b gently
gainst the rocks on the ledge below,
ad then another pebble bounded
way; but no strong word of cheer
?me in answer.
In another moment, though . his
ide eyes had been watching all the
me^t?ie_panther lay below him. She
hi.'., .'.v-1 ....:\'\i-.? sarberi'if? foi *
She toppled back, and he could
ear her breathing plainly. Theo
ie tried again. As she stood on hoi
Ind feet, her clawa caught in his
0 thing, but he fought free; and
me and again she scratched, him,'
it he did not cry out.
Once or twice she withdrew hei
iw, stretched very high, and pn8b.ee
HT black muzzle up till.he could set
ie two red eyes; and he knew thc
TO red eyes could very well see him.
ut when she struck she must with
raw her head to give the paw a
-eater reach, and by shifting a little
3 could dodge her.
But all the time, as she hied foi
im, first with one fore-paw and then
ith tue other, her hind feet were
awing at the bluff for a foothold. Ii
ie had found it, she would have lifted
id have reached him instantly. She
d not find it; but she was loosening
di and stones with every effort, and
.eso wero forming a growing plat
rm which brought her nearer.
When he knew the next fling cf a
iw would reach him he saw the bare
ond head of Sergeant Gore on the
dge.
The back of her head was toward
ie soldier, for her left paw was at the
womof Tad's blue coat.
"Cling tightl" said Gore.
And a wonderful thing happened,
he sergeant stepped close to the
tn thor's sid 3, facing outward. His
ft arm flashed about the extended
>dy. He made that splendid ful
uui of his hip. He swung just once,
id swiftly; and tho panther went- .
Higgins had once gone-heels over
?ad, and helpless. She flung both
iws wildly, but she made no sound
her dark body shot over the edge
id was swallowed up in the dark
sss. They listened what seemed a
ry long time, and heard h or strike
the foot of the bluff.
"Great throw!" cried Tad, and he
ept exultant from his nook, and
ambered out where Sergeant Gore
1 ul tl lift him down. But ho had to
> carried. When it was all over his
urdy legs refused to bear him, and
j etaggered veiy helplessly. Gore
id him on the pine-needles at the
immit, for a few minutes. And pres
itly they went down the long road
the warm spring, where he washed
e dust from Tad's face and banda
id arms.
Later, they dragged to the captain's
>rch a monster panther, whose rel
it skin not a single bullet had marred.
But even at that, when Tad saw his
ther's white face, and caught the
ordless welcome of his mother's em
ace, he knew ho had paid for the
mtker far moro than it was worth.

Enhancement of the value of farm

A general improvement of the con

United States Medal of Honor.
The medal of honor grantod by Con

;allantry is so rare that hundreds of
.ulcers have never even seen it.
The bow knot worn in the button?
tole in lieu of the medal goes un
eeognized except by the very few.
?he medal is of black bronze, and is
ift?n mistaken for the Grand Army
nsignia, the latter having been pat
erned after it to a certain degree. It
s much larger than the latter, and on
he reverse side is engraved tho name,
ank, date and the battle in whioh the
?rvice was rendered, and the specific
ct of heroism for whioh it was given.
?he medal is only worn on state occa
ions, but the bow knot is always
rom. It is a small affair, with its
peci?o ribbon. It is of silk, white
tripe in center, bordered by two blue
tripes, which are bordered by two
ed stripes.. It is an inch in length
nd three-eighths of an inch wide.

Methods of Marting Iteof-Tes.
The first of the methods here given

the meat. If the stomach of the in

In making this tea or extract always

Indeed, the tonderer the meat is the

it gently simmering for several hour?,
until tho meat is perfectly white, look
