THE PANTHER STRIKES By Allen Wishert T HE hour was nearing mid night. from out of the hills rolling over the prairie, came the distant scream of a panther, like the wailing of a lost soul. Lem Garrett had been awaiting this hour, being foreman of the outfit, he had erected himself a aback several yards beyond the bunk-house where he could keep book away from the rowdyism. Lem watched the hands of an alarm clock as they climbed to ward the fateful hour. A Winches ter rested across his knees. Fifteen minutes to twelve. He arose, examined the rifle, assuring himself that a 30-30 cartridge was under the hammer and again the panther screamed. Lameul Garrett had taken life as it came, going about his ranch chores with heart and mind at peace with the world, until this latest event appeared. “Nettie Ragsdale, three weeks ago had given him her promise. Nettie was 19, Lem 23. Considering their age and environments, every rancher predicted an ideal marriage. However, there was one obsta cle, Nettie’s father, Gabe Rags dale, a hardy plainsman, rugged, with the temper of a locoed steer. He objected strenuously to the match; not that he objected to Lem, no more so than any other cowboy on the plains, but he pos sessed higher ideals for Nettie. She had attended boarding school, and he considered her slightly above any of the w'addies there abouts. He planned for her to marry some well to do man and live comfortably in a city, like Cheyenne, for instance. When Nettie mentioned her se lection to her father, he became explosive, raved and ranted, final ly declared; “The only way you’ll marry Lem Garrett, will be over my dead body.” When Nettie informed Lem of her father’s decision, he merely gazed into the far off yonder some where, and replied: "Maybe he won’t live so awfully long. Accidents do happen.” “Lem, you mean—.” “Pay no attention to what I’m saying, Nettie. Words sometime imply false meanings.” To the midnight in question; with rifie pressed snugly under his arm, Lem stepped through the door of his shack into the moon light. That very day Gabe Ragsdale had mentioned that he was going on a panther hunt. Fifteen minutes to twelve, Lem rode into the hills; Gabe Ragsdale was doing likewise. Lem had in mind the exact boulder that would afford concealment He hadn’t long to wait a lone rider, Gabe Ragsdale, was ap proaching. Lem settled himself, rifle barrel atop the boulder, an eye squinting along the sights. He placed a finger on the trigger, the moon illuminated the scene as bright as day. Gabe, only fifteen yards away, reined his horse under a large tree. The slight wavering of a limb above Gabe’s head, caused Lem to look upward. A panther, crouched, ready to spring, caught his gaze. That sleek, death-dealing cat would save Lem firing a bullet. Gabe Ragsdale’s doom was sealed with no evidence of foul play. The panther, slowly, without sound, edged it’s hind leg’s for ward beneath it’s body, giving momentum to the bound. The brute quivered, a split-sec ond and it would be on it’s way. Lem raised his sights and three 30-30 slugs curled the beast and it crashed beneath the tree, lifeless. A month later Lem and Nettie v^re married. After the ceremony, Gabe Ragrdale grasped Lem Gar rett’s hand. “Son,” he said. “Somewhere it is said; ‘A life for a life,” You gave me mine, I now repay by giving one of my own into your keeping.” / 4-H GIFTS . .

'"I REMEMBER SY THE OLDTIMERS From Minnie- Thomas, Bland, Missouri: Do you remember when a neighbor lady visited mother on a summer day? All the old pic tures would be brought forth from an old bureau drawer and the patchwork quilts would be shown with pride. Then, when the time came for the visitor to go, moth er and the little tots walked a “piece of the way” home with her. Remember when no ice was available to quench a burning fever? And the girls wore at least three frilly petticoats, starched and stiff as a cardboard? And when there were only six months of school and the teach er’s salary was $35.00 a month? Do ye remember? * • • From Mrs. B. H. Higgle, Webb- vllle, Kentucky: I remember more than 60 years ago my father built anew on Dry Fork in the adja cent county from where we were living at that time. The creeks would freeze over in winter, and as our neighbors had an ice house, father and my brothers would I help to fill it each year. It had double walls and the floor and open spaces were filled with saw dust. They would cut the ice in blocks and haul them to the ice house on a sled. They would place ^ layer of ice and then a layer sawdust and another layer of j with plenty of sawdust on the jp layer. In the hot summer days we would take a large stone jar and place a smaller jar inside, sur rounding it with ice md sawdust, i so we could have cool drinking water. ^ On Sundays we made custard in similar fashion—a sma’I pail of custard surrounded by ice in a larger pail. We would add salt to the ice, turn the smaller pail until the custard froze. And we had ice cream in the summertime.

How does your family rate on Breakfast Eating Habits According to a nation-wide survey by Elmo Koper, two-thirds of teen-age girls, one-third of teen-age boys, and about one-half of the adult population skip or skimp breakfast. How does your family compare with these nation-wide findings? Is an adequate breakfast important for the well-being of your family? Research at a leading Midwestern medical school has demonstrated that the subjects who ate an adequate breakfast not only felt better, but performed better, especially in the late morning hours. What can be done to improve breakfast eating habits? Nutri tionists believe that mothers hold the key position in the solution of the problem of breakfast skimpers and skippers. It is the con sensus of leading nutritionists that it is the mother’s responsibility to see that an adequate breakfast is prepared or that food and facilities are ready for the family members to prepare their own breakfasts. An adequate breakfast built around a basic breakfast pattern of fruit, cereal, milk, bread and butter can be prepared in ten minutes. This basic breakfast pattern is recommended by leading nutrition authorities to provide % to H of the daily nutritional requirements. For those whose doctor has prescribed a low-fat diet, a basic breakfast is ideal because it is low in fat and low in cholesterol. Great variety is possible in using a basic breakfast pattern. Your grocer has more than two dozen varieties of breakfast cereals, including hot and ready to eat, both pre-sweetened and regular types, on his grocery shelves. The breakfast pictured above fallows a basic breakfast pattern. This breakfast consists of orange slices (use canned or frozen juices to speed preparation), shredded wheat with brown sugar and milk, bakery sweet roll with butter, and milk to drink.
