"I'll try," answered Dick.

In a moment they were off. The young Indian

rolled away the hoop, and Dick threw his dart with

such vigour that it went deep into the ground, but

missed the hoop by a foot at least. The young Indian's

first dart went through the centre.

"Ha!" exclaimed Joe Blunt to the Indians near him,

"the lad's not used to that game; try him at a race.

Bring out your best brave--he whose bound is like the

hunted deer."
