Last Saturday Jim Reed concluded

concluded q little outing would d.
him good.
Jim met an old friend aud was
standing and talking to him. He
viry carefully placed the muzzle Of
his gun on his foot so as to protect
the ground from injury in case Of
accident. Suddenly the gun started
to slip of Of the protecting fcot.
Jim made a frantic grab for the fall
ing gun and his hand struck the
trigger Just In the nick OF time TO
discharge it as IL was over his secDua
toe. 10 another instant the muZz!e

old earth would have been sadly per-
forsted. As it was Jim lost his toe
aud the earth was saved. This little
incident ended the hunt and jim Is
now nursing 9 very sore foot.
