The shot was a fairly good one, for it took the beast just under the breast. The fox gave a yelp of intense pain and dropped back. The other fox came rushing at the doctor's son.

"They say a lion got loose from the circus," answered her nephew. "Mercy on us!" ejaculated the lady, and turned pale. "Come in the house this minute, before you are all eat up!" "We don't know if it is true or not," said Snap.
"Evidently somebody doesn't want visitors," was the comment of the doctor's son. "I say," he called out, "what do you mean by heaving that wo " Crash! From the interior of the cabin came another chunk of wood, a gnarled root, just grazing Shep's shoulder. Then a stone followed, striking Whopper a glancing blow on the hip. Both lads retreated in confusion.
"But er -it all fits in with what I was going to tell you about in the first place." "And that was " burst out Whopper eagerly. "Wait till we are out on the river, away from the town folks. I don't want everybody to know our business." "Great Scott! but Shep's got a secret!" burst out Snap. "What is it -a treasure hunt, or a new way to make diamonds?"
She had known from the first sight of it, half hidden by Shep's eager pays, that it was Wayne Shandon's. He had shown it to her only last week. "I am going to teach you to shoot as I shoot," he had laughed, bringing the revolver out of his pocket. "Then I am going to give it to you.
Many an eye was directed on M'Adam; but that little man appeared all unconscious. "Weel, Mr. Saunderson," he was saying in, shrill accents, "and shall ye tie Shep?" "What d'yo' think?" asked Rob, eying the man at whom the measure was aimed. "Why, it's this way, I'm thinkin'," the little man replied. "Gin ye haud Shep's the guilty one I wad, by all manner o' means or shootin'd be aiblins better.
It's enough to make a fellow's mouth water!" "Oh, we'll have to go!" had been Shep's answer. "Of course we'll have to go to school, but we are going to have a long vacation around the holidays " "And we can ask for our Christmas presents in advance," Giant had interrupted. "If we go out, I know what I want?" "What, Giant?" "A pair of snowshoes." "Oh, we'll all want those," had come from Whopper.
Oh, this is -is fearful!" gasped Ham Spink, putting his thumb and forefinger to his nose. "Wha-what am I to do?" "Ham has caught it and no mistake!" whispered Snap. "He'll be as sweet as a bag of bone fertilizer after this," was Shep's comment. "You'll be able to smell him ten miles off," vouchsafed Whopper.

Then he walked around the camp fire and his chums followed. "Where are you going?" asked one of the other members of the Spink crowd. "That is our business."
