The Recipe for Diamonds

Out tinkled cartridge number one and in went a second and "cluck" said the breech block. And then as he slewed round, I got the next bullet home, bang behind the shoulder. That did it. He tucked down his long Roman nose and went heels over tip like a shot rabbit and when a big elk that stands seventeen hands at the withers plays that trick. I tell you it shows a new hand something he hadn't much idea of before.
