On the 27th a few of the Krag cranks planned to shoot 
their qualifications in the Marksman’s Reserve down 
at the Portsmouth range. A. B. and Mayo traveled down 
early in the morning, and, with Messrs. Powel and Almy, 
got busy. Previous to the shooting it was arranged that 
the scores of the latter two should go toward the ex¬ 
citement of a match against those of A. B. and A. C., 
who have become so far gone over their Krags as to be¬ 
lieve themselves in the class with very good shots. This 
military game is a new one, let it be understood, and 
Messrs. P. and A. have been banging along just behind 
the twins, but the Waterloo canTe Saturday. Powel got 
a 63 and smiled; Almy a 56, and A. B., starting with a 
23 at 200, smiled also, but changed with the conditions. 
It grew cloudy on the Portsmouth range. A. B. is not 
at all proud of that score of 51! Late in the afternoon 
Mr. Parkhurst and the other half of the twin, faction 
came racing over from the trolley. There wasn’t much 
time, but A. C. landed a 21 at 200 and then—started to 
find air at 300, catching the target for a high 2 when 
it was too late to remedy the trouble. When he lay 
down at 500, it was more cloudy. A bullseye cleared the 
atmosphere and a 3 shook it. The remainder of the 
shooting caused a threatened shaking by the larger 
partner. A C. was not at all proud of his 49. 
The trip home was uneventful. Two men sat in the 
stern of the ferry very much neglected. They occupied 
the same seat on the train also. As they neared Provi¬ 
dence, one of them remarked: “That armory mold 
is at the store; I’m going to take it home to-night, and 
we will get busy molding 308245 ! s.” 
“Sure,” said the o^her. 
“We need practice.” 
“Well, it was this way, you see.” 
“Never mind which way it was; we are n.g. on the 
books. I’m going to quit shooting and get interested 
in something else.” 
“Me, too. Me for the six-shooter.” 
That was Saturday. Spirits are up again, for the re¬ 
turn match with Troop B will be pulled off on the 10th, 
and a challenge has been received for a team shoot at 
200yds. on the Saturday following with some military 
chaps, some of whom were on the State team. Did you 
ever see a thoroughbred shooter but what became dis¬ 
gusted with himself at a slip and yet clung to the habit? 
Lieut. Miller raised our 50yd. revolver record for 1906 
one point on the 3d, with the first half of the string, a 
five-shot standard possible, as follows: 10, 10, 10, 10, 10— 
50; 8, 10, 10, 9, 7,-44. Total, 94. 
The following members qualified in the National 
Marksman’s Reserve on the Portsmouth range, Oct. 27, 
under the conditions as laid down by the National Board 
for Promotion of Rifle Practice; 200, 300 and 500yds., two 
sighting and five shots for record at each range, military 
targets, U. S. magazine or N. R. A. musket, .30 caliber.

Rifle Notes. 
In reply to an inquiry, George J. Metz, corresponding 
secretary of the National Schuetzen Bund, Charleston. 
S. C., has informed us that the question whether or not 
telescopic and other magnifying sights will be admitted 
in the matches of the association in Charleston next 
June is still an open one. Mr. Metz says he has had 
a number of inquiries relative to telescopes has com¬ 
municated with several authorities and cluDs on this 
subject, and has turned over all information received 
to the target masters. The shooting programmes are 
soon to be issued by the target masters, as they are 
nearly ready to be printed.

A NIGHT OF TERROR. 
Continued from page 737. 
are lost! We have but a few minutes to live! 
Last year an English party was torn to pieces 
and devoured by them some leagues beyond our 
castle! I shall never see my father again!” 
Her cries awoke her attendant, who, the mo¬ 
ment she comprehended the danger, burst into 
an agony of yelling that almost rivalled in dis¬ 
sonance the cry of the wolves. She cursed her¬ 
self, her fate, her stars, her folly, that ever drew 
her from France to this abominable country. 
She vowed to all the infernal powers she could 
think of, that if she were to escape this peril,, 
she would never again commit a fault so un¬ 
pardonable. She raved about herself, and her 
life, and her dress, and her Alphonse, (a smart 
garqon cuisinier in Paris, with whim she kept up 
an amatory correspondence, much to the detri¬ 
ment of King Louis-Philippe’s French,) and all 
sort of matters, horrible or flimsy, that cr.ossed 
her distracted brain. I remember, particularly, 
that death itself did not seem to affect her with 
so much terror as the prospect of being de¬ 
voured afterward by a nasty wolf. 
Her grotesque lamentations had the good 
effect of recalling my sister to her natural firm¬ 
ness of mind. She felt that in this trying oc¬ 
casion it became her to set an example of 
courage and resignation, and in an instant (the 
whole scene I have been just describing did not 
accupy more than two minutes), she was herself 
again. She assured me in a couple of words of 
her constancy, and pressed my hand to her heart 
to show that it was not beating with any undue 
emotion. 
“It is no time to agitate you now, Herman,”' 
she said; “our chances of escape, I know, aie 
but small; but still, people have escaped from 
dangers as dreadful, and, under God, our hopes 
principally depend upon your presence of mind. 
Our defence is in your hands, and there I am 
content to leave it.” With these words, she
