It had been a tiring day and to Enliven proceedings one of the party offered another one shot at his new and expensive pipe at a distance of 30 paces. With a studied negligence the second shooter took his stance and regis1 tored the first direct hit of the day. This prompted a second man to offer up his cigarettp lighter. Again the ( result, was the same. A fourth num offered a two-shilling piece if the shooter, for whom a new respect was : being born, could score a hit on a ■ threepenny piece.
