Boston A. A. 
Boston, Mass., Dec. 14.—Although O. K. Dickey 
broke straight the entire program over the McCrea, he 
lost on shoot-off at 25. after being tied by L. H. Davis, 
who shot from a handicap of 5, which filled his 50. The 
shoot-off resulted in a difference of only % of a target. 
The handicappers at Boston A. A. deserve recognition 
as being as good as the best and better than the rest. 
Third in this event went to R. A. Faye with 49 from 
scratch. H. W. Knights, 49 from 4, and F. Whitney 
49 from 10. 
L. H. Davis took a bit more glory with a full from 
a 5 disc draw over Sargent traps for leg on December 
trophy. F. Whitney made 48 from 10 gifts and R. A. 
Faye got place on 46 from scratch.

Cincinnati (O.) Revolver Club. 
The fourth in the series of telegraphic team matches 
was shot on the Brendamour range, Dec. 11, the club's 
opponents being the Manhattan Revolver Club, of New 
York. High scores were made by W. H. Cox and G. 
A. Muenzenmair, 202 each, the latter making high five- 
shot score of 45 in his second round. Elmer Hake is 
rapidly coming to the front. The team has improved 
in each match, and will get in the 1000 class if the mem¬ 
bers continue their good work. A. H. Kenan is getting 
the hang of his new .44 Colt’s. At practice this week he 
shot two scores of 49 and 48. Ten members were at the 
range to-day.

Jersey City, N. T., Dec. 14.—Geo. Piercy was high 
gun to-day, winning high average prize with an average 
of 87 per cent., and Dr. Groll was second with 81 per 
cent. McLemore won the weekly prize, a dandy carving 
set, with a full score of 25, counting the handicap. 
Dixon was high in the distance handicap with 22, and 
received for his trouble a classy little picture given by 
President Hallinger. Mrs. Vogel was over again and 
shot at a 76 per cent, clip, which was excellent shooting 
over our traps, she getting four 19s. The scores follow, 
in strings of 25:

How Brier Pipes Are Made. 
Brier, which furnishes the root from which 
the brier pipes are made, is the shrub called the 
white heath or heather, and is found chiefly in 
the south of Italy, or on the Island of Corsica, 
and in Algeria. The shrub often grows to a 
large size, although only the roots are used in 
the pipe-making industry. 
After the roots have been cleaned of the 
earth which clings to them, they are sawed into 
blocks of various dimensions, placed in vats and 
allowed to simmer for twelve hours, which 
brings out the rich brown color for which the 
finest pipes are prized. 
Following this boiling process the blocks are 
steam dried for two weeks and then are sent to 
the factory, where they are converted into pipes. 
The blocks are assorted according to size by ex¬ 
perts, are placed on shelves and kept at an even 
temperature for ten days. Then they are dyed 
and sent to the machines, where the actual manu¬ 
facture begins. After the blocks have been 
trimmed to the proper size, the upper part of 
the bowl is turned, then the lower part and 
stem, and they are sandpapered. The finishing 
of the bowls then takes place. 
CHRISTMAS DAY AT WILDCAT. 
Continued from page 778. 
slab table which stood next the wall opposite the 
door and lighted them. Then he drew from his 
bosom a small crucifix with the Christ upon it, 
and set it on the table so that the light would 
fall directly upon it. Next he threw Pierre’s 
big bundle of fur into an obscure corner. When 
this was done, he took the now steaming kettle 
from the fire and prepared two stiff drinks of 
hot rum, one of which he handed to the trapper. 
“Down with it, my boy !” he commanded, 
and set the example himself, after which he 
handed Pierre his rifle and cautioned him to 
keep quite still in his seat, while he himself took 
a position at the window, where he could com¬ 
mand a view of the clearing without being seen 
from without. In a few words he explained the 
situation to the astonished young man, keeping 
a sharp lookout the while. 
“Do just as I say, my son, and all will be 
right. Defend your life if you must, for your 
family’s sake, but I have higher hopes.” 
Hardly had he got the words out of his 
mouth when he made a quick gesture of silence 
and caution, for he had seen the bushes opposite 
the cabin shake slightly, discharging some of 
their burden of heavy snow. Presently the dark 
figure of Dominique, the half breed, stepped out 
into the clearing and skulked toward the cabin 
door. Suddenly, however, it stopped as if un¬ 
certain what to make of the unusual illumination 
and appeared to drop on one knee behind a little 
snow-laden bush. 
Dominique saw a sight that made him smile 
grimly; nothing less, so he thought, than Pierre 
sitting with his back to the window, for there 
was his fur cap just above the window sill— 
Dominique even saw it move slightly. Ha, what 
a chance! 
The next moment the loud bang of a rifle 
reverberated through the frosty evening air, and 
the fur cap, which had been held by Father Leroy 
on the point of a stick, disappeared. An instant 
later a heavy piece of wood fell loudly upon 
the cabin floor, and the priest called in a hoarse 
whisper to Pierre, “On your knees by the table, 
quick!” 
Hardly had Pierre had time to throw him¬ 
self upon the floor and the priest to kneel him¬ 
self in front of the crucifix with his back directly 
toward the door, when it was thrown open, and 
the savage halfbreed bounded into the cabin. 
The sight that met his eyes rooted him to 
the floor. The crucifix with the lighted candles, 
the good priest of St. Ignace before it as if 
about to say mass, the man whose body he had 
heard strike the floor after receiving a bullet 
through his head kneeling there tranquilly—nay, 
more, all this as if no shot had been fired, no 
noise heard! Dominique’s eyes fairly stood from 
his head. The priest—a feeble old man—why, 
he was celebrating the mass in his own church 
but a few hours before! 
Meanwhile all was still, save for the crack¬ 
ling of the fire. Poor Pierre knelt in a fever 
of fear. He was not in a position to realize the 
situation, and he was prepared to get a bullet 
through his back at any moment, and yet he 
dared not move. The good priest kept his eyes 
and his mind fixed upon the image of the Son 
of Man, for the moment he was not of this 
earth. 
Actually the situation was one of great peril.
