Still, he acted cautiously, in the hope of throwing the young hero off his guard, so as to permit him to crush him as suddenly as if by a panther's spring. "If your wigwam is there, it is time you were home," said Fred. "We are on the lookout for such customers as you, and if any of the others see you they won't let you off so easy as I do.

Several hours later, Leonard learned that the whole German gunfire had been focussed for several minutes on the Panther.

This beast hyena fleeth the hunter, and draweth toward the right side, to occupy the trace of the man that goeth before: and if he cometh not after, he telleth that he goeth out of his wit, or else the man falleth down off his horse.
"Did you find the panther's trail?" "No," said Seaforth. "Rock again!" Alton said nothing for a minute, and when he spoke his voice had a curious tone.
