"Kill him, kill him," said Aunt Clara, catching hold of her husband's arm in distress, "I can't bear to see him suffer so." "I have nothing to kill him with," said Uncle Teddy, in equal distress. But the moose was beyond the need of a friendly bullet to end his sufferings, for after a few more convulsive heaves he stiffened out and lay still. "Is he dead?" asked Hinpoha.
