"Why, here is a good chance to try my new powder!"

Now, with this new powder, I can send death.

"I'll have to invent the new powder first," Tom said.

One day in December, he confirmed a forecast for 6 to 10 inches of new powder.

In fact, some of the new powder looks like jack-straws.

"That man what come and look at Master's new powder," was the unexpected answer.

I put stuff what man gave me in new powder.

"I put all in iron box where Master keep new powder."

They hurried back to the shop where the new powder was kept, and Tom at once investigated it.

It was one afternoon, about two weeks after Tom had made his first test of the new powder.
