made one hundred bull's-eyes in succession? The proprietor fainted

inner rings to his credit.
"That isn't bad," said Shep Reed. "But Snap is the boss rifleman
of this crowd."
"Then we must make him the leader of our gun club," put in Giant.
"What do you say, fellows?"
"That's it!" cried the others.
"Have you fellows got a gun club?" came from the man who kept the
shooting gallery, curiously.

leader. "You see, we expect to go out on a hunting tour this
fall and so we got together and called ourselves a gun club.
