Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

DAVE AND HIS CHUMS "Why, Dave, what are you going to do with that revolver?" "Phil and Roger and I are going to do some target shooting back of the barn," answered Dave Porter. "If we are going to try ranch life, we want to know how to shoot." "Oh! Well, do be careful!" pleaded Laura Porter, as she glanced affectionately at her brother. "A revolver is such a dangerous thing!" "We know how to handle one. Phil has been painting a big door to represent a black bear, and we are going to see if we can do as well with a revolver as we did with the rifle." "Do you expect to shoot bears on the ranch? I didn't see any when I was out there." "We don't expect to see them around the house, but there must be plenty of game in the mountains." "Oh, I presume that's true. But I shouldn't want to hunt bears-I'd be afraid," and Laura gave a little shiver. "Girls weren't meant to be hunters," answered Dave, laughing. "But I shouldn't consider the outing complete unless I went on at least one big hunt-and I know Phil and Roger feel the same way about it." "Hello, Dave!" cried a voice from an open doorway, and a handsome lad with dark curly hair showed himself. "Coming?" "Yes, Roger. Where is Phil?" "Gone to the field with his wooden bear." Roger Morr looked at his chum's sister. "Want to come along and try your luck?" he questioned. "A fine box of fudge to the one making the most bull's-eyes-I mean bear's-eyes." "No, indeed, I'd be afraid of my life even to touch a revolver," answered the girl. "But I'll hunt up Jessie, and maybe we'll come down after a while to look on." "Oh, you want to learn to shoot!" cried Roger. "Then, when we get to Star Ranch, you can dress up in regular cowgirl fashion, and ride a bronco, and fire off your gun in true western style." "And have a big bear eat me up, eh?" answered Laura. "No, thank you-I want to come back East alive. But I'll come down to the field as soon as I can find Jessie," answered Laura, and walked away.

"[...] Dave took the weapon and snapped the trigger. There was no report, and he tried again, aiming at some brushwood not far from the apple tree. The brushwood was close to the back road. "It's all right now, I guess," he said, as the pistol went off with ease. "But that trigger ought to be looked after," he added. "You wouldn't want it to miss fire at a critical moment." He stepped forward and, while Roger swung the representation of a bear, he fired another shot.[...]".

Book Excerpt: eld with a rope, and the representation of a bear was swung from the lower limb of an old apple tree. Then another smaller line was fastened at one side, so that the "bear" could be swung to and fro. "You can do the first shooting," said Dave to his chums. "I'll play bellman." And he pulled on the side rope, so that the door swung like the pendulum of a clock. "Hi! don't swing too fast!" called out Phil. "Sixty seconds to the minute, remember." He took his position, and watching his chance, fired. "How's that?" he asked, after the report had died away. "Hit his bearship in the left ear," announced Dave. "Humph! I aimed for his right eye!" The senator's son now tried his luck and managed to hit the representation of a bear in the tail. This made all the lads laugh, and Roger and Phil called on Dave to show his skill. "I don't think this revolver works very well," said the senator's son, handing the weapon to Dave. "The trigger seems to catch in some way." Read More
