the carver raises the skin (Which has been

his log cabin had been built, and he had
Il barrel of water and lot of wood for
emergencies. The Indians kept Just out
of range, dashing in once in a while to
draw his fire. He soon used hi; bullets
up, and then used the gold. He fired
nearly half his fortune ut the red skins
before they left him.
Many hunter has used pebble in the
hope OF getting II close deadly shot. Jack
knives and ramrods have served their
time in missiles. Forest and Stream

shot the horn of IL big buck off, and the
