TARGET PRACTICE IX FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 



Someone on our left had taken a pot shot at theni. A hit ! No, it isn't. 

 They are there once more. Let us get nearer. On we creep ; we reach 

 the coveted hill, we make a dash for the top, and lo ! before us are the 

 dummy figaires of the enemy. On our right we see a Maxim ready to fire. 

 The gvmner pops up and down behind the breech. "Shoot him if you 

 can, boys!" and the peppering begins

Then without a moment's notice heads and shoulders appear in the 

 heather, and before we can take aim they are gone again. 



The magazines are brought into use and we pepper away for our lives. 

 The heads appear again and are lost to view a moment after.
