“It goes straight,” declared Bomba.
“Do you mean to say that you could hit that card?” asked Dorn incredulously.
“Yes,” said Bomba.
“I’m from Missouri,” remarked Gillis.
“Where is that?” asked Bomba.
The men laughed.
“Never mind,” said Gillis. “Let’s see you hit the card.”
Bomba drew an arrow from his belt, fitted it to the string, and, scarcely appearing to take aim, let it go.
A cry of surprise broke from his new acquaintances as they saw the arrow standing out straight from the center of the card.
“The boy’s a wonder!” cried Gillis.
