> pskeptical about such things A fine
young boy near Dallas was shot while
out hunting. and the bullet lodged so
near his neart that there was not one
chance in a thousand that he could
survive an operation. But he did sur

things OF which the surgeons in the To-

the boys recovery was tedious and as
soon as the fever left him he was
allowed to see his friends and TO play
cards and generally to amuse himself
The bullet had been given to the boy
and occupied conspicuous place on
the table. Every caller saw and handled
the bullet and talked over his almost
miraculous escape from death. One
day the boys mother was with him

who had formerly gone TO school with
