fri -in hia shoulder, and wasulxmt to toss
it easily over the young jvaiither's head,
when, as he raised his eyes, he aaw,
crouching in the dead branches of a tree
which grew near the oak near that
the 1 iii!s were interlaced an enormous
panther, the mother of the cub, ready for
a spring. She was hardly three pa.-es
aav. Without a second's delay Veton
j stepped fr-uii the branch he was standing

1 trunk of the tree l-tween him and the
old panther. He was just in time, for at ,
that in-tan' the mother of the cub lea
ed oil the spot he had left, and st.si.1 gaz

with one aim i-lii.-pt-d around a branch,
held iu his right hand his hare knife, us
w ith every breath he drew he ex-cted
to see the enraged animal sjriiig down
Uoii him. Standing thus, u.rty feet
alsive the ground, with only the treach
erous f. siting of a limb a f.-w inches thick
Weston knew that he was lost unless by
ta.-t and s!;i!', he was able t gradually
make his way back to the f.s.t of the tree
v. iiii.-iii irritating the tieriv Isast into
piii-ipituiing an a-.un k iij-ou nun. u-
tmiaieiv. the cub left it- pla.v higher up
and le...el down to the branch on which
iis mother stis.d glaring hi U'estoii, wl.o
was ahnnsl in-ar Hough It. her to feel her
hot breath. Thin movement of the cub's
distracted the addition of the old pa II
Uier. and Weston, sheathing his knife in
hib belt, dr pjs-1 to a lower limb. The
' pauiher noticed the movement and
i sprang to tlie limb l-l..w where she
' stood, ;;n 1 pr.-eiite, We-toil from re
! ti.-ating further.
The dogs all this time were crazy w ith
i e. iteuient at the f..t of the tree, and
gnawed at the trunk and tore up the
ground in their frantic anxiety to get at
the game s far aU.ve their leach. Wes-
ton seeing that his retreat was cut off, and
'imt daring to risk a struggle with the
. panther where the slightest misstep
; would dash him h.-adloug to death, re-
turned to his old position in the tree, and
huni.-r .!!. iind spring down uHin him.
Weston saw what she was intending to
do. and he knew the straggle, which
i-ould have
evil.ible utiles
b.r.incii.s ot
but one result, was m-
he could reach the thick

th,. panther reached her vantage ground

swung himA lf olf of the branch. The
vine gave away at its fastenings on the
other tr.-e. and Weston keeping his hold
was su ling back into the oak and hr. -light
the very branch on w hich the
paniher's cub was crouching. Instantly,
with i veil that resounded through the
woods far above the tunnoil of the dogs
ls-l.-w, ti.e mother panther came b.-nii.l-ing
di.vi li from the top of the tree to the
prot.i-tioii of young. Weston knew there
was no estape now unless a .losjieratc
plan that ru.-hed through his iiitn-l should
succetsl in giving a new turn to the jieril
ous situation. Hrawiug his knife tiom
hi- 1m It. In-phiuged it into the whining

Uncle Jake was a preacher of over
imwering dignity and very particular
almut fonns. He could not read, but he
alwayc used a Bible, hymn lasik an.1, a
pair of immense brass bowtvi s n.et.it -1.-st

One day after considerable uiani-iil..

ceremony, thus announced his text :

Kt Rev. Ir. Tuttle, Bishop of the Pro
tectant ElLt.p:il Church for the IiocPe
: of Mi--ouri, is not unknown to those who
hat! the good fortune to enjoy toe Binh-
nf's minis rationn in the jr.il.len .lays of
I Montana. AWn" a xcore of-ears aiM, lt-
fore the railroails lia.l cro.-l the Rocky

in habited the ountry caretl little for the
men or affairs of the church. The con
ventitinalitiett of life, the mere huks of
WK-ial funiiK ha.l lieen pretty well i.!icarl
eil, an.l the ieople in the mining camps
hal come down to plain burties. The j
averajre preacher in the even of the aver- :
ae miner was a man whose businessi was
to piss arouiiti the hat or the contribu
tion box, if there had lnt-ii one in the
country, inul who made his sermons tint
pretext.
The jjoo.1 Bishop initrlit well have lieen
appalled at the first view of his diocese.
But never was a man better fitted by na
ture an.l by grace for his high mission.
Of hemic stature, in every physical sense
a man amon; men, he had a heart for
every fate and a courage and resolution
eijual to any demand.
The city of Helena was the metropolis

in:; spirits had or'.-inize.i a def'i list-and

and freezing w ind. To falh-r was ileft-at ;
to retreat w as rain. There w as no faltex
iiij; in that desperate truj;i;le, and finally
the battle was won.
Morning had come, and with it the
Mill, w hich, as it rose over a shoulder tif
.he mountain gilded the forms of three
men who stood hiyh on the p;ii;is''. of
the btiildiim where the lire hail lcen I
stopped. They were the chief's, self
chosen, to lead in the conflict, hut ac
knowledged and obeyed by the jxipulacv,
who instinctively recoyuize their suprem
acy. These three men, with their visag
es grimmcd and black w ith smoke, their
hair and Is-ar.ls singed, their hands torn
and bloody, their hat.i blown away by
tin w in. I, and their t-lotiiing ragged and
awry, and w ith the fire of battles in their
eyes, and (rim and stern lines of resolu
tion on their ftccs were terrible, almost
ferocious.
Who were these men? They were well
know n in the mountain.-, if not imuiedi
aU'ly recognized in the disfigurement of
battle. The one on the right was " Hi ter

kerly, a noted desperado, who got his
cognomen from a daring adventure with
the Indians in the Bitter I'oot Moiin
