about eighteen inches all told. There

the bullet would be on its way. He,
could only fire one shot at a time. To
load the rifle again, all Severly had
to do was to take a cartridge from his
pocket, put hig hand in his coat as
though to pull up his other shirt sleeve,
i: sert the cartridge, cock the piece,
which was then ready for execution at
