"Ye see that buck," I said, pointing the animal out to the party before me. "Tell me, is it possible for man, born of woman, to kill it from here with a noise?"
"It is not possible, my lord," answered the old man.
"Yet shall I kill it," I said, quietly.
The old man smiled. "That my lord cannot do," he said.
I raised the rifle, and covered the buck. It was a small animal, and one which one might well be excused for missing, but I knew that it would not do to miss.
I drew a deep breath, and slowly pressed on the trigger. The buck stood still as stone.
"Bang! thud!" The buck sprang into the air and fell on the rock dead as a door-nail.
A groan of terror burst from the group before us.
