"Look," said the doctor in a whisper.
"It is very singular. He never misses."
"
"-No, he never misses. Every ball gee§

hole, which. isn't any bigger than a five -
franc piece."
The man had taken another weapon from
his oelt. He shot. The target still remain-
ed intact. The arm was a revolver of the
American pattern; the shooter fired five
more „balls in suecession. Not one of them
seemed to graze the forehead of the white
facie, • . .
The doctor touched the marksman on the
shoulder. He turned round. His face,
heavily bearded, had a singular expression
of mingled resolution and melancholy.
"Stop for one moment," said the doctor.
The man nodded his head in consent.
Then the doctor led me to the other end
of the V and showed me, immediately
behind plaster head, a black piece of
sheet iron that had been fastened up to
protect the wall. In the very middle of the
piece of sheet -iron was a shining round spot,
with reftections of leak caused by the crush-
ing of the pistol balls against it.
" No* you can see," he said, as he pointed
'1"• out the exact linear correspondence of the
- bright spot upon the sheet -iron to the hole
in the plaster cast, "you can see for your-
self that all the balls pass through the same
hole. You won't find a single bullet mark
anywhere else."
"It is marvelous," I said. "But what a

It seems curious at the present day that
such it law as the following was in existence
in the eighteenth century: "That anybody
who should induce an English artificer en-
gaged in any of the manutactures of Great
Britian to go abroad and teach and practise
the art must forfeit one hundred pounds and
be liable to imprisonment." The artificer
who did go abroad was "liable to be as an
alien and have all his property forfeited to
