"Hul ure we not going to the plauta-

It was not long before young Han-

with bis happy meeting with Colonel j
Moreau. It was then agreed that the
boy In order to prepare bis home for j

"Allow me to welcome you. sir." he

Moreau acc epted the glass with bis

"You call a pistol ball through the

mildly inquired Aaron, impressed by
his visitor's evident prowess.
"The ball I put through Kirby's
