I think many ounces of gold may be procured there. It is worth the trial." Armstrong concurred, and they turned again upward toward Tacuzama. The trail was abrupt and precipitous, mounting through a dense forest. As night fell, dark and gloomy, Luis once more halted. Before them was a black chasm, bisecting the path as far as they could see. Luis dismounted.
Now the era of Mahomet in the 7th century is evidently the exact and perfect line of demarcation; not only as pretty nearly bisecting the debatable ground, but also because the rise of the Mohammedan power, as operating so powerfully upon the Christian kingdoms of the south, and through them upon the whole of Christendom, at that time beginning to mould themselves and to knit, marks in the most eminent sense the birth of a new era.
"You know," said Gianapolis, the gaze of his left eye bisecting that of his right in a most bewildering manner, "they call this 'the 'tec's tabernacle!" "Indeed," said Soames, without enthusiasm; "I suppose some of the Scotland Yard men do drop in now and then?" "Beyond doubt, my dear Soames."
"By-the-by," he said, "do you remember whether I said the bisecting line of that segment pointed to the north or to the south?" "You said it pointed to the north," replied George.

Hattie had plaits; small affairs, perhaps, but tied with ribbons behind each ear. And the part bisecting Hattie's little head from nape to crown was exact and true. Emmy Lou admired plaits. And she admired the little pink sprigs on Hattie's dress. After Hattie and Emmy Lou had sat together a whole day, Hattie took Emmy Lou aside as they were going home, and whispered to her.
At last the bisecting cattle trails began to converge, and we knew that they led to water which they did; for shortly we saw a little broken adobe, a tumbled brush corral, the plastered gate of an acequia, and the blue water of the tank. To give everything its due proportion at this point, we gathered to congratulate the doctor as we passed the flask.
He found it best to assume the centre of distance half-way between the centre of the earth and the excentric, thus "bisecting the excentricity". Even this did not fit in the case of Mercury, and in general the agreement between theory and observation was spoilt by the necessity of making all the orbital planes pass through the centre of the earth, instead of the sun, thus making a good accordance practically impossible.
He wore an eye-glass; he seemed an unconcerned spectator of our movements so does the untrained, unthinking eye look out upon destiny! Not far away was a wagon, in it a man. Wagon bisecting our course from a cross- road " He drew a line on the table-cloth with the carvingknife, and the Notary said: "Yes, yes, the concession road." "So, Messieurs.
He had built a mansion on Grant Avenue, the wide thoroughfare bisecting the Heights.
