Dear Margery Doom:
Would like to know II we must have
a license to shoot a .22-calibre rifle for
target shooting. Also, would like to
know if we car shoot on Sunday at a
target in the country. Kindly let US
know in the Evening STAR. Thanking
you for same, we remain.
STAR READERS.
You do not state where this target
practise is to be held. No permit or
license would be granted TO you to
shoot anywhere within the city limits.
Such permits are granted to regu-
larly organized gun clubs, governed, of
course, by proper restrictions. AS re-
CARDS shooting at a target in the coun-
try, it would depend entirely where the
target is located.

Jean, with a touch of the old taunt in
his voice, and stopping with his back
TO the engineer and his hands behind
him. After that?"
You will tell me all that / want to
know" finished Rowland. Tightening
the thong about his wrists.
He led the way then to the cabin
The door was closed. but opened readi-
ly as he put his weight against it The
single room was lighted by a window,
! thriugh which a a OF snow
had drifted. and contained moth
ing more than q rude b
built against one OF the log walls, three
supply boxes that had evidently been
employed as stools, and a cracked n
rust-eaten sheet-iron stove that had
from all appearances long passed into
disuse. He motioned the Frenchr1an
to a seat at one enc OF the table. With
out a word he then went outside. Sc
curely toggled the loading dog, and re-
turning, closed the door and seated
himself at the end Of the table OPP
posite Jean.
The light from the open window fell
full on Croisset's dark face and shone
in a silvery streak along h top OF
Howland's revolver as the muzzle OF ii
rested casually on a line with the
others breast There was a menacing
click as the engineer drew back the
hammer.
Now, my lear Jean. we're ready to
begin the real game he explained
Here we are. high and dry, n down
there-just far enough away TO be out
of hearing of this revolver when I shoot
are those we're going to play against
So far I've been completely in the dark.

go down there openly n be welcomed
and given a good supper. And yet at
the same time l know that my life
wouldn't be worth q tinker's dann if l
did go down You can clear up the
whole business, n that's what you're
going to do. When / understand why
l am scheduled TO be murdered on sight
I won't be handicapped as l 20 am.
So go ahead and spiel. II you don't I'll
blow your head off"
Jean sat unhinehing. his lips drawn
tightly, his head set square and
defiant.
You may shoot, M'seur.'' he said
quietly. Il have sworn on q cross of
the Virgin to tell you no more than /
have. You could not torture me into
revealing what you ask"
Slowly Rowland raised his revolver.
Once more, croisset--will you tell
me?"
Non, M'seur-"
A deafening explosion filled the little
cabin. From the lobe of Jeans ear
there ran a red trickle of blood. His
face had gone deathly pale. But even
as the bullet had stuhg him within an
inch OF his brain he had not fiinched.
will you tell me, Croisset? '
This time the black pit of the en-
gineer's revolver centred squarely be-
tween the Frenchman's eyes.
Non. M'seur.'
The eyes Of the two men met over
the blue steel. With a cry Rowland
slowly lowered his weapon.

the lee of the largest of these, almost
entirely sheltered from the drifts piled
up by easterly winds. they came sud
denly on a small log hut. About II
there were no signs of life. With un-
usual eagerness Jean scanned the sur
face OF the snow, and when he saw
that there was trail of neither man
nor beast in the unbroken crust a look
of relief came into his face.
Mon Dieu, so far / nave saved my
hide" he grinned. Now, M'seur, look
for yourself and see IL Jean Croisset
has not kept his word"
A dozen steps had taken him through
a screen OF shrub to the opposite slope
OF the ridge. With outstretched arm he
pointed down into the plain. and as
Howland's eyes followed its direction
he stood throbbing with sudden ex-
element. Less than a quarter of a mile
away. sheltered in q dip of the plain,
were three or four log buildings rising
black and desolate out Of the white
waste. One OF these buildings was a
large structure similar to that in which
Rowland had been imprisoned, and as
he looked a team and sledge appeared
from behind one OF The cabins and halt
ed close to the wall of the large build.
ing. The driver was plainly visible,
and to Howland's establishment he sud
denly began to ascend the side of this
wall. For the moment Rowland had
not thought OF a stair.
Jeans attitude drew his eyes. The
Frenchmsn had thrust himself half out
Of the screening bushes n was star
ing through the telescope Of his hands
With an exclamation he turned quick
" TO the engineer.
Look, M'seur! Do you see that man
climbing the stair? don't mind tell
ing you that he is the one who hit you
over the head on the trail, and also
one of those who shut you up in the
coyote. Those are his headquarters al
the post, and possibly he is going up
to see Meleese. If you were muc of a
shot you could settle a score or two
from here. M'seur."
The figure had stopped. evidently on
a platform midway up the side OF the
building. He stood for a moment as II
scanning the plain between him and
the mountain. then disappeared. How
land had not spoken a word. but every
nerve in his body tingled strangely.
You say Meleese-is there?" he
questioned hesitatingly. And he-whc
is hat man. Croisset?"
Jean shrugged his shoulders AND drew
himself back into the bush, turning
leisurely toward the old cabin.
mon, M'seur, I will not tell you
that he protested. IT have brought
you to this place. I have pointed out
to you the stair that leads 70 the room.
where you will find Meleese. You may
cut me into ribbons for the ravens
but / win tell you no more,"
Again the threatening fire leaped
into Howland's eyes.

behind your back. Croisset," he com
manded. Il am going to return q

your hands with this piece of babeesh

PROPER DARNING COTTON.

In darning take pains to match the
cotton or silk used.
Remember that threads work lighter
and that the sheen OF silk often makes
the repairing too conspicuous.
Rawlings of the material are good
for darning, provided the thread used
in the work and woof is smooth and
does not Knot or break. FREQUENTLY a
thread of a different character makes
far neater work.

A Matter of Conscience.

Would you please tell me II it is a
sin for a Roman Catholic to go TO a
show in Lent, and IL there are any
moving pictures open on Sunday?
Yours, A CONSTANT READER.
The question of attending a theatre
during Lent is one that has to be de-
cided entirely by ones conscience.
There is a city ordinance which prohib-
its moving picture shows from being
open on Sunday.

Philippine Army Potato Farm.

From the Army and Navy Register.
The experimental potato farm OF the
army subsistence department established
and operated at Camp Vickars. p. l.. Is
a failure and 1t has been abandoned, al
though the first crop of potatoes raised
was of excellent quality and flavor. In
the initial stages of the operation Of this
farm the commanding general OF the d.
vision considered the enterprise OF the
subsistence department OF raising potatoes
for the troops in the division had 30 rar
succeeded as to warrant measures 10
place the farm on a more permanent
basis, and with q view to avoid delays
and interruption placed 1t directly UNDER
the control Of the chief commissary OF
the division, with Lieut.. J. M. waning. 90
Infantry. in charge OF the WORK as super
intendent, responsible for the equipment,
animals and buildings, as well as the
work. Among the principal causes for the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. results obtained were the
unsuitability of seed potatoes to the
ground. and the soil itself was poor on
account of the constant raising of rice
which requires the same constituents Tor
its growth as potatoes do. both being
starchy and needing ferttlization). ana
the cogan and tule grass roots cnokeo
and poisoned the potatoes, making II nee
essary to get rid Of the roots. It Is some
thing Of disappointment TO the supsist-
ence officers that the farm has not been
success. It was intended not only as
source OF supply for those vegetables to
the army in the Philippines. but as
demonstration of the ability to raise po-s
tatoes in the islands.
