In the year 1816, however, the sum mer weather was even more incle ment; Old fyles, of the Quebee Ga zette, give the following interesting accolint of the weather vagaries of the summer of that year : "From leven o'clock till half-past twelve, this day, the 6th June, there has been an uninterrupted fall of snow in this feity."

"When | was a boy of sixteen or thereabouts," he snid, "my father died in Tennessee, 'ang 1 went to- live with an uncle in the Ozark mountain country of Arkansas. My uncle's' farm wis in & country where the cata: mounts grew on trees, anid we had a lot of trouble with {hem and other varmints keeping' them off the sheep. We had ' only about a hundred, 'and couldn't afford to lose any, so we - ed up a log "cabin near the sheep sheds, and | used to sleép there with a gun handy for any marauders that might cole along. A catamount is a mighty "sharp amimal, and I néver got a shot at one that aid 'any harm, so I began to study up some plan to get a aéalp, and 1' finally concluded to try fiehing. "1 got, three big sturgeon Hooks you know what they are ike--{gstenad to a fing steel chain about six fet jong, that was strong enough to haul a haystack with, and to the chain 1 tied about fifty feet of wew hemp rope.

When I had my tackle veady I took 'a piece of fresh meat ha buried the hooks in it just deep endugh to catch hold easy when it was time for" them to begin busi ness. Then T carried the bait out tie ward the woods from the cabin the full length of the line, and slipping the other end through 5 ten by twelve window we had in' the door, 1 looped it over a post in the cabin for anchor age. ?

Catamounts were bad enough, but panthers 'were a lot worse, and the folv tithés we had had them comb around they haa stirred up the coun tryside' like an election. was so wrought up "that. I forgot all about my catamount bait, and I ranged wp alongdide of the window. slit in the door-we had one on edch side of the cabin to commana all approaches with the shotgun clenched in my hand as if Tv were sométhing alive that was trying to get away from me. Lordy, but 1 was seared and shaky on my pegs; and not scared either exactly, for 1 was perfectly safe in the cabin, hut 'a sixtéen vear-old-boy faving & bungry panther, even when he is be hind a wall, i« liable to be agitated, and 1 was that to such an extent thmt I could hardly keep my face to the window long enough to look out, | héard another sorcech in a minute or two after | got to the window, and the sheep in'the sheds began to bleat tow 'and to move around in fear.

T was not a hundred yards from him when he appeared, and as he had to pass close to the eabin to get to the shed entrance, I laid in wait' to surprise him.

The bleating of the sheep moved him presently, and he got up, shaking his head and pawing his face and his mouth to get the chain away. He started for the shed again, but the rope pulled on Nim, 'and I reached out for my end of it and gave it a good hard jerk to set the hooks inside of him. You ought to have seen that panther jump, but he jumped in the direction of the pull, and not against it, for I guess when the hooks took hold they must have hurt him. He screeched as if they did, anyway. 1 held on to the rope, and he bounced around and rolled over screeching. Then 1 started to pull in. I thought when I began this part of my fishing he would probably gét away, but it hurt him so to pull back that I drag- ged him up toward the door, though why I wanted him there 1 couldn't tell. He must have seen me through the window as he came up reluctant ly in. tesponse to my pull, for, witha yell, Zhe rope slacked, and he came at the window as if be could get me in spite of everything. I dropped the rope and backed over into the corner of the cabin, while he tore at the door with his claws like a miner with a pick, Not being able to do any harm, he backed away and lay down abolt a dozen feet from the door, where he once more began his attempts to gel the chain out of his month or down his throat. I came up to the rope again and began playing him once more, and it was more axciting than any trout playing you ever saw, for that panther was a terror when he tried to get away, through the door I let him rest awhile, and presently he got up and tried to make 5 sneak for the woods. T never said 4 word, hut when he got to the end of the line and the hooks hegan to pull on his insides. he looked around in a Kind of a shame-faced kind of way and lay down ut the end of his tether "This scemed to be an auspicious occasion for me to get ont and go to the house for help, and 1 opened the door real sasy and started fo slip out." But he was watching, and I had no more than showed mysel when I came at. me with a terrific serex h, and 1 dodged back again with ex ceeding baste.

"When he hove in sight around the comer of the sheep shed the panther was lying about twenty five feet from the cabin, and when he saw him 1 thought the beast would get away even if he had to teat bis vitals out doing it. 1 held onte the rope like grim death, and vellxl to my tnele to get out of the way, which he did by skinwing up a post to the roof of the sheep shed. He had a gun when he started, but he deft it on the ground when he went up the post. "We now established communica" tions, and I told him that 1 had the panther hooked all right, if he would he kind enough to get a dip net and land him. He said if 1 would hokd the blamed brute steady he would come offi the roof and go back to the honse nud finish his nap, because he didn't like to got up =o early any how.
