brought their rifle butts smashing
down upon the door. A flash of gun-

to streak for cover. But the door was
partly demolished.

as he joined the posse. “The shack was
full of smoke, but I saw where he’d

“Jet him have it!”

Immediately a four-pound bomb
sailed through the air and fell, with
neat precision squarely in the door-
way. It exploded in a mushroom
of red and orange flame, filling the
air with splintered wood. Launch-
