He begun looking for a place to hide and dually discovered a ledge and climbed up and sat down to rent Hud denly he heard a aouud of cracking brush. lie got his rifle up ready when down the path came an old l>ear and three cubs: the little cub* were playing like kittens. The old hear walked up to the cave, sniffed a few times and went In. In a few minutes she came out with a little panther, killed It tint) gave It to the cutis. She repeated this three times, and every oue she killed would scream ? and the old panther would answer away off In the woods, and each time nearer. "After ahe had killed them all she cuffed the cubs and sent them up a tree Then ?be began digging a hole in the ground and an iff! ng the air. In a few mlnutee the old panther scream ed and it seemed Just a little distance away. The old bear lay down on her brick in the hole she had dug.

There was a fierce struggle, with screaming and snarling. and in less than ten min utes the bear was torn to fragments. The panther walked into the cave and came right out again and gave a scream that was bloodcurdling, .lust then she saw the cubs. She gave a leap and brought one down and killed It. and went after the rest and killed them. "She sniffed the air agaiu and began coming toward my grandfather, who bad been watching from the ledge above. He raised his rifle, took good aim and fired.

"He didn't wait to pick up his lunch box, but went fast for home. "He often says that Is the most game he ever got Vith one bullet, but be wouldn't~want to see it all oter again." Falling Up Out of a Balloon. If a man falls out of a rising aero plane or balloou he will n# go toward the earth, but will continue rising into tbft.Blr.for an appreciable time. If the air machine were stopped in its ascent ?t the time it could catch the man as he cm me down. ? If the airship were ascending at the rate of thirty-two feet a second the hum would ri?? sixteen feet before beginning to fall toward the earth Thus. by reducing the speed of its ascent, the vessel might keep by the side of the man and rescue him. The reason why the man rises is the same as the reason for a bullet's rising when shot from a gun into the alr-^ both the man and the bullet are given a velocity upward, and it take# some time for gravity to negative that velocity.?

"Corpse coins" are treasured in the north of England. They are the coins that have lain over the eyes of their dead. By this means infection has been spread, but superstition causes the custom to continue.
