When Bullets

BY DONALD ALLEN

1t was Master Frank Gilbert, fifteen
years old, and feeling himself Of great
Importance in the world, who opened
the morning paper at breakfast table,
and a moment later almost shouted
at his widowed mother and sister Mol

Are rats and puffs to go?" Queried
the sister.
THAT country Raffles has broken

houses night before last. l told you
the police hadn't got the right man.
and that Raffles would come again.

But he may not come near us"
said the mother.
Sure to! May be here this very
night! Look here-youve both got to
learn to shoot"
and daughter in chorus.
"I'll let mother of. as her sight is
bad. but Mollie. you and I will begin
target practice within an hour. l
shall probably kill this Rallies at the
first shot if he breaks in. but 1t will be
we'll enough for you to be armed in
| case he attempts to crawl into your
window. You can give the alarm by
shooting, even If you miss"
Miss Mollie expressed her willing
ness to learn to kill burglars, and the
mothers suggestion that six men be
hired to guard the house at night was
voted down.

There was target practice morning,
noon and evening for the next three
days. Frank had had practice, but 1t

learn to shut the left eye and keep
the right open, and not to jump foot
