in exact obedience to bis aim, but the
looseness of the coat had deceived him.
Jackson had stood in quartering posi-

struck and broke rib, and then rsked
the whole width Of the breast-bone; but
the strong man never finched, never
wavered-there was not so much ~ a

Jackson's breast had led his antagonists
aim just that much further forward. A
narrow chance for the future President.
