' You can't tell offhand, that nay llultets are tricky things, no mailer what the caliber. When they strike a bony surface there's no telling what course they'll take. Be sides, you've got the bullet, haven't you?" "Yes. w.j have It. We assume that It's from HanilU's gun." "That ought to settle the argu ment." Miller's voice took on shrewd pitch.
