The Light That Failed

"What do you think she'd do if she caught us? We oughtn't to have it, you know," said Maisie."Beat me, and lock you up in your bedroom," Dick answered, without hesitation. "Have you got the cartridges?""Yes; they're in my pocket, but they are joggling horribly. Do pin-fire cartridges go off of their own accord?""Don't know. Take the revolver, if you are afraid, and let me carry them.""I'm not afraid." Maisie strode forward swiftly, a hand in her pocket and her chin in the air. Dick followed with a small pin-fire revolver. The children had discovered that their lives would be unendurable without pistol-practice. After much forethought and self-denial, Dick had saved seven shillings and sixpence, the price of a badly constructed Belgian revolver. Maisie could only contribute half a crown to the syndicate for the purchase of a hundred cartridges. "You can save better than I can, Dick," she explained; "I like nice things to eat, and it doesn't matter to you. Besides, boys ought to do these things."
