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.”

'"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.
