Word came to Captain Goodwin that the mato of the huge panther which waa killed Uryan neck some time ago, was roaming around in the Marne locality and committing wholesale depre dations. Captain Goodwin tad arranged whereby he was to be informed if the mate made her ap- pearauce, and aoout ten days ago he received the welcomed news.

Thsy started ont that night after th* panther and camped within 300 yards of whera the other was killed, tut they did not even bear a growl. This encampment waa kept np sev eral time*, but though tbe panther had been making blmself perfectly at home before tbe hunters ar rived, she teemed to acent danger and kept clear of the spot, so at last she waa given np and tbe sports man turned their attention to game of other sorts.
