when the gun went off. The baby
was pointing with her little mittened
fingers to the rocks near where she
had been sitting, and where lay quite
dead the biggest snake that had been
seen in that part of the country for
years.
"Dick," he called, "come down here"
Little Dick came, slowly dragging the
gun behind him. He, too, was dazed.
The gun had given him a lively kick
as it went off, and he was thoroughly
frightened, not knowing what he had
done.
The boys eyes widened as he saw
the snake, its head blown entirely off
by his shot"
"Gee, whiz" he cried, the color
coming back to his cheeks, "ain't 1t
whopper?"
you're young rascal, Dick" said
his brother, and his voice was trihe
husky. "You know better than that,
but you didn't do so badly this time"
"Golly!" said the boy; II didn't know
that was a rattler. 1 saw big stick
down side of the baby, it sort of turned
once or twice and made believe 1t was
snake You said the gun wasn't
loaded and got so excited pulled the
trigger. 1 was making believe was
saving her life"
"Well guess you did it all right"
said big Dick, dryly.
They made another picture the next
day, not of the den, but of the proudest
boy in the country, little Dick Brown
and his rattlesnake-four feet long, as
large around as big Dicks arm and
with fourteen rattles.
II know l shouldn't have fired the
gun, even If 1t wasn't loaded" said lit
tie Dick. with a mixture of humility
and pride in his voice.
