all with tho elk, In spite of that mis
guided beast's extremely inconvenient
hostility.
"Instead o' strotctoV yer fool neck
that way, tryln' to t,r at wtc," he ex
postulated, leant., r 1 om his branch,
"yo'd a sight basc-r bo keepln' y.r

ain't no use at all ho '11 be gettln

know!"
But It was plain that the bull did
not understand English, or at least
McLaggan's primitive variation on
English. Ho seemed to grow more
pugnacious than ever at the sound
of these mild exhortations. He made
the most extravagant efforts to reach
McLaggan's refuge with horn or hoof.
Convincing himself at last that this
was impossible, he glared about him
wrathfully till his eyes fell on Mc
Laggan's pack lying near by.
Appearing to regard it as part of
McLaggan, ho fell upon It triumphant
ly. His edged hoofs slashed It and
smashed It, his pronged antlers
ripped It wido open; nnd in a dozen
seconds ho had sent tho contents fly
lng in every direction. Tho contents
wero miscellaneous, as McLaggan had
been in to tho Settlement for the pur
poso of replenishing his stores. They
included, among other items, a two
gallon tin of molnsscs, a llttla tin of
popper enveloped in a flaring scarlet
label, a whlto cotton bag of flour, a
paper bag of beans, and another of
sugar. Tho beans and the sugar went
all abroad at tho first attack, tho big
and the llttlo tin rolled away, and tho
bull devoted his attention for a mo
ment to tho bag of flour. Ho ripped
it wido open with his antlers, then
blew into it scornfully so that tho
flour puffed up into his face. Having
accomplished all this with such sur
prising case, ho seemed to think ho
might now succeed in getting at Mc
Laggan himself. Ho camo under tho
branch onco more, and glared upward
through what looked like a pair of
whlto goggles, so thickly wero his eye
sockets rimmed with flour. Ho
snorted fresh deflanco through wido
red nostrils nicely fringed with
white.
McLaggan was now too angry to
appreciate tho extraordinary appear
anco of his foe. At the scattering of
his precious supplies his sympathies
had gono over completely to the pan
ther. Ho spat down upon his adver
sary in impotent indignation.
"I hope tho palntor'll git ye after
all," ho cried, with a bunch of ex
pletives too vlrllo for tho cold expo
sure of the printed page.
In reply tho bull made another
earnest effort to reach him. Then,
onco more disappointed, he returned
to tho pack to seo what further satis
faction ho could get out of it.
Finding that there was no resist
ance left in tho beans, tho sugar, or
tho bag of flour, ho went after the
littlo scarlet tin of pepper, which had
been thrown some distance nnd lay
under n neighboring tree. Ho slashed
it open with a stroke of tho hoof, then
jabbed it with a prong of hi3 antlers
and Hung it into tho air. It fell on his
shoulders, emptying most of Its con
tents Into tho long hair on the ridgo
of his neck. Startlod at this attack
he jumped around sharply, and was
Just in tho middlo of pounding tho Im
pertinent thing viciously under foot,
when, to his annoyance, ho began to
sneeze. It was such sneezing as ho
had never experienced before. Ho
spread his legs wide, and devoted him
self to it with all his energies.
This was too much for McLaggan's
wrath. He forgot it in an ecstasy of
delight. He was just on tho point of
explosion, when ho saw something
which made him check himself with
a choked expletive.
The panther waa creeping out upon
a great branch almost over tho sneez
ing bull's head.
The next moment it dropped from
tho branch, and fastened teeth and
claws in the elk's neck.
Tho bull was just in tho middlo of
a terrific paroxysm, but the cruel
shock of this assault brought him
to. With a grunt he bounded into the
air, coming down upon all four feet
again, stiff-legged, like a bucking
l)'rtii', as If thinking the jar might
ri,aki his assailant off. Falling in
i 1 he sprang violently sideways;
1 a. tho same time, being a beast
us reKOjrce, ho struck back with tho
prongs of his antlers by Jerking his
muzzle sharply upward.
In tho meantime tho panther was
clawing and biting savagely, and
seemed likely to maintain his hold In
spite of tho clever tactics of his adver
sary. But just at this point tho pep
per In the bull's mane began to take
Irresistible effect, both In eyes and
nostrils. Tho amazed panther let out
a screech of protest, which ended In
a convulsive sneeze. In the midst of
this convulsion the bull side-stepped
again with distressing energy; and
the panther, half-bllnded and wholly
bewildered, was thrown to the ground.
The manoeuvre was almost equally
disastrous to McLaggan, who, rocking
with laughter, all but fell out of his
tree.
The moment he had shaken himself
clear tho bull, undaunted, whirled and
struck llko lightning with his for
midable fore-hooves. With equal alert
ness tho panther succeeded In elud
ing tho stroke. Ho doubled llthely
nslde, and sprang again, seeking to
recover his former advantage. But
being half-bllnded ho fell short and
only got a grip with his front claws.
As ho struggled savagely to make
good his hold against the plunging
and tho thrashing antlers of his an
tagonist, once more tho popper in his
nostrils began to work with power.
In splto of his passionate refusal of
the gigantic tltlllation, his head went
up in the air, his spine straightened
itself out, his Jaws and his claws
opened and tho huge sncezo ripped
stridently from his lungs. It ended
In a screech of rage and disappoint
ment as ho found himself onco more
rolling on the ground, striking out
blindly with futilo claws.
As ho recovered himself he warily
bounced aside, lightly as a loosed
spring. But he was not quito quick
enough. Ono of those battering
hooves that were playing for him so
nimbly caught him on tho haunch.
It caught him aslant, or It would have
shattered tho great joint beyond hope
of recovery. But it was enough for
his catshlp. With a scream he darted
off beneath a low-branched thicket,
ran lamely up another tree, and crept
away from tho place of his discom
fiture by tho path of tho interlacing
branches. Ho wanted no elk-meat
which tasted llko that.
Tho victor stood glaring after him
for half a minute, snorting, and shak
ing his triumphant antlers. Then he
camo and glared up &T, McLaggan, as
much as to say:
"Did you seo that? That's tho way
I 'd fix you, too, if only you 'd come
down hero nnd stand up to mo!"
As for his cruel wounds on flank
and neck, ho seemed quite unaware of
them. Hut he was evidently a llttlo
tired, for ho made no further attempts
to reach McLaggan's refuge.
"You're suro some punklns!" de
clared McLaggan admiringly, wiping
his eyes on his sleeve. "Who'd over
'a' thought any bull elk could lick a
painter that quick?"
Scorning to bo conciliated by com
pliment, tho bull turned nway to seo
if there was any further damage he
could inflict on McLaggan's belong
ings. Ah, yes, to be sure, there was tho
bright, unsullied tin of molasses, Just
where he had burled it. He pranced
over and slashed at it, in spite of Mc
Laggan's appeals, and opened a gen
erous gash through which the amber
brown stickiness came bulging forth
phlegmatlcally. The bull eyed this
phenomenon, and then, scornful of
