The Eyes Of The Panther

---

Jenner Brenning, a young rural attorney, finds himself dumbfounded when proposing to a woman, Irene Marlowe, who has clear affections for him yet she refuses based upon her belief that she is insane. When asked further about this, the woman explains. Long ago when Irene was in her mother's womb, her parents lived in cabin in a more rustic area with their first born. The father was a typical woodsman and regularly went out into the wild to hunt for food.rnrnOne day, when the father goes to head out, his wife beseeches him to stay for she portends something horrible will happen. The father assures her that he will be alright. Then, late at night a panther appears at the window scaring the mother. She clings her infant to her chest as she waits in terror. Eventually, the woodsman comes home to find his wife. While the panther did not do any harm, the baby was accidentally smothered to death. Irene was born several months after this but her mother died in the process of giving birth.rnrnJenner proceeds to elicit how this story constitutes Irene's being insane. She simply says that a person born under such circumstances must be clearly insane. The woman leaves at this point and the man believes he sees a panther. He runs after Irene but as she arrives at her house, Jenner can see no panther. Some night later, he finds a panther has crept into his room. He shoots it and it flees. When he and others pursue it by following the blood, they find not the dead beast, as might be expected, but Irene's body.
