The hundredth skull was there, on the shelves, a bullet-hole in the forehead, and the scalp gone. The head was Quick's. Two miles south of Munger, Ohio, in the heart of what used to be called the Black Swamp, stood the Woodbury House, a roomy mansion long gone to decay.
His enemies had been outwitted with such cleverness that the youth could not deny himself the pleasure of expressing his exultation in that characteristic fashion. When Jack Carleton discovered the water bubbling through the bullet-hole in the side of the canoe, as though it was a tiny spring that had just burst forth, he was afraid it would sink the craft.
A canteen and an army cap with a bullet-hole through the crown, hung over her desk, and a battered bugle, that had sounded many a triumphant charge, swung from the corner of her mirror. Each souvenir had a history, and had been given her at parting by some special friend.
Number two, brandishing a pole to which is attached a disc, black on one side and white on the other, is acquiring a permanent crick in the neck through gaping upwards at the target in search of hits. He has to be sharp-eyed, for the bullet-hole is a small one, and springs into existence without any other intimation than a spirt of sand on the bank twenty yards behind.
We had argued with the keeper of the Prinzenhof in Delft that William the Silent could not possibly have been murdered as he said he was that he must have come down the stairs and not gone across the hall when the assassin shot him, as any New York police reporter could tell from the bullet-hole that is yet in the wall and thereby wounding his patriotic pride so deeply that an extra fee was required to soothe it.
Jim's face began to look more cheerful, but he was down in the mouth again when he saw the wounded man. He began at once to do all he could for him. We stopped a short distance behind the brush, which had already helped us well. Jim propped up the poor chap, whose life-blood was flowing red through the bullet-hole, and made him as comfortable as he could.
Keep wild beasts from killing us in our sleep, and give us good hearts that we may not kill them in anger." His finger twisted involuntarily into the bullet-hole in the pelt, and he paused a moment. "Keep us from getting lost, O gracious Saviour." Again there was a pause, his eyes opened wide, and he said: "Do you think mother's lost, father?"
"Si-lence!" roared the crier, awaking from a nap, with an instinct that something unusual had happened. But the shrewd old judge had caught the sincerity with which the words were uttered, and put on his spectacles to examine the speaker. "Are you for the plaintiff or the defendant?" "I don't know either of 'em from Adam, my lord. But I know Captain Dodd's pocket-book by the bullet-hole."
With lightning speed the soldier reloaded, and then cautiously drew nearer; but there was no need of apprehension from Pomponio. He was dead shot through the heart. The soldier gazed at the inanimate form, at the bullet-hole in his breast, from which the blood was trickling, and at the poor mutilated feet. Did a glimmer of pity stir in his heart? It were hard to say.
The piraña of course could not penetrate the hide of the alligator, but entering by the bullet-hole it had turned to one side and partially buried itself in the flesh. I have seen men bearing very ugly scars, the results of wounds inflicted by the piraña while they were bathing.
