PANTHER l?UNTINC?. DANCEROUS SPORTS IN THE WEST. Brue? Weston's Thrilling Experience h> Attempting to Capture it Cut) Alive. Bruce Weston, un old limo Arkansas bunter, followed his dogs once on a panther's trail, ?nul came up with ibeui n hero they hail irccd tin- game In a big . ?ak tire. Tho foliage was sn Ulick ami ibo shadows so deep lu tho timber that ii was sonic ihue before Weston discov ered tho panther, ll lay between two branches forty feet from the ground, and clung so closely i<> tho boughs that none bul the practiced eve of the hunier would have detected ii^ presence. Wes ton ai ern e recognized In the crouching ?IgUl'C 0 pant bel's" cub, and was on the point of scuding ti rifle hall through its Dody when he remembered un oller of twenty dollars that sonic one in tho settlement had made for a live panther, and he resolved lo capture this one and seiure the twenty dollars. Taking his lasso from bis pony's stuldlo, and. with his long knife in his bell for uso bl lill emergency, be climbed thc nee. Ho roached t?o- lower branches of the tree, and, swinging himself from bough to hough, stood inst below lin; rilli, Which had raised lo Its feet and steed willi ..mind back looking down ul thc hunter. Weston removed his lasso fruin his tdioul der, and was about t?> loss it easily over tho young pimlbcr's head, when, tis he raised his oyes, he saw, crouching in tho demi brunches of n tree which grew noni tho oak-so near that the limbs were in terlaced - un enormous panther, the motlier of Hie cub, rendy for a Miring. She was baldly three paies away. With out tl second's delny Wi den stopped from the bram .1 he was standing Oil to one which brought him with tho trunk ot" the tree between him and the old panther, lie was just in l'une, for at that instant thc mother of the eui? leaped oil thc spot ho had left, and stood ga/, ing with llcry eyes on Ibo hunter, w ho. Willi one ann eke ped around a brunch, lu ld bi his right hand Ills bari' knife, a wUh every breath bc drew bc expected lo >ce the miraged animal spring down upon Idm. ?Sh nding thus forty feel above the ground, willi only the treach erous footing of u limb a few inches Ulick, Weston knew tittil bc w as inst un less by luci and skill Ile wu's able io gradually make his way hack to thc fool of thc tree without irritating thc tierce beast into precipitating un attack upon him. Fortunately, thc cub left its place higher up and leaped down lo thc brunch on which its mother stood glaring nt Weston, who Was nbnosl near enough tn lu-r to feel her Ind breath. This move ment ol' the cub's distracted ibo attention ol' thc old pantin :-, and Weston, sheath ing his knife 'rn his belt, dropped lo n lower limb. Tee panther noticed Ute. movement. lUid Sprung to the Ijuvb be low whore she stood.' and prevented Weston from ret reining further. T|lC dogs ali this tillie were crazy with excitement ul the foot of thc tree, and gnawed at the n uuk un I torc up tho ground ni their frantic anxiety lo get nt thc game so far above their reach. Wes ton seeing that bis retreat was ia.! off, and not daring lo risk ti struggle with thc panther where th . slightest misstep would dash liini headlong to .-death, re turned lo his oki position in Un- tree, and thc panther '.'..Mowed him. Keep ing, lo u great effort, lils hotly l evered hi the trunk of tho tree. Weston climbed still higher, hoping tn reach ii strong creeper Unit extended from thc upper part ot the oak lo ?1 tu e a few feel away, believing l|uil ho might Iel him self by Ids lui tub ulong thc vine to thc uiher tree, 'nv which bo could easily reaeh Un- ground.

Weston saw what she wa - intending to do. and lie knew thc struggle, which could have but ??nc result, wits inevitable unless he could rc eh thc thick branches of thc licigllbi ring (rec by mean- of tho con necting vine hy thc lime Un- panther reached lier vantage ground above him. Ile grasped thc creeper ami swung hine self off of thc branch. The vine gave way ut its fnslcnings on the oilier tree, and Weston, keeping his holt] was swung biick luto Ibo oak ami brought down lo thc very bram h m w hich thc panther's cub wa- crouch,ag Instant ly, with n yell thal rOSol lided through thc woods fur above the turmoil of tho dogs below, thc mother panther came hounding dow n from thc tup nf thc tree lo thc protection of lu i young. Weston knew lhere was no escape now unless a desperate plan thal ru in d through his mind should succeed in giving a now turn to tho perilous situation. Drawing his knife from lb- belt, ho plunged it in to Um whining cub iii his foot, nlid al Ibo sumo (imo kicked it loose from Ibo limb. y^-^V''':: It fell in the midst of I ho dogs below Just ns its inothor sprang on thc branch nbovc the hunter's head. Th Ugh) of lu r cub being torn by the dogs, and thc cries it gave, turned her attention entirely from Weston, und, willi n blood-curdling ? ry, fiho leaped from I he high perch rt the tree and alighted 1,11 the dogs, Weston lost no time in gelling t>> thc ground and seizing his rille. Although but a few U'JCOndfl were ort llpfed ill doing this, ab live ol'his dogs were stretched demi on ibo grOUOd, torn to pieces by the infin i cd panther in defense of ber yonng, he fore Weston could lire 11 shot.
