"Well, what do you infer from that what does that mean?" The Indian went through a series of pantomimic gestures to indicate that the feet of the missing ponies had been bound with cloths so that their hoofs would leave no imprint. "Come Eagle-eye," he commanded, striding off toward the bedding-down place. They followed and gathered around him as he picked up the ends of the tether ropes.
The boys did not know at the moment what the Professor had in mind. "Two of our ponies got away last night, Eagle-eye." The Indian nodded, but without exhibiting any surprise. "Did you know it?" "Me know." "How?" demanded the Professor, with unfeigned surprise. "Me see um tracks. Me see um ropes there." "Well, you have got some sense after all," retorted the Professor.
Matey was not inclined to class Lord Ormont alongside Murat, a first-rate horseman and an eagle-eye, as Shalders rightly said; and Matey agreed that forty thousand cavalry under your orders is a toss above fifteen hundred; but the claim for a Frenchman of a superlative merit to swallow and make nothing of the mention of our best cavalry generals irritated him to call Murat a mountebank.
They were serviceable, strong deerskin, with high tops of white linen cloth procured at the Factory, without decoration save for a slender line of silk about the tongue.

Munson, superintendent of the Red Star Mine, to whom I have a letter, asking him to send us on a couple of extra ponies." "Does he know who we are?" asked Walter Perkins. "Yes, he knows your father.

Boone remained taciturn, his clear, eagle-eye scanning the palisade, and the direction from which the savages would be most likely to come. Joe approached the renowned pioneer for the purpose of asking his opinion respecting the chances of escaping with life from the expected struggle, but was deterred by his serious and commanding glance.
The animal had long, coarse hair, sharp ears set alertly forward, a bushy tail, and an expression of great but fierce intelligence. "Eagle-eye does well," said the woodsman. "I have done as the Little Father commanded," she replied, and arose to cook the meal. The next day Sam constructed a pair of crutches well padded with moss. "Listen, Little Sister," said he.
"Please call that lazy Indian over here and set him to work. Little does he care what trouble we're in. See, he's asleep against a tree now." "Yes, his head would fall off if it were not nailed fast to him," added Ned, striding to the Shawnee and giving him a violent shake. "Wake up, you sleepy head!" shouted Ned in a voice that brought the Indian quickly to his feet. "Come over here, Eagle-eye.
"Yes. Then Walter and Stacy had better go to their tents. If anything occurs during the night, remember you are to let me know at once. If Eagle-eye returns, I want to know it, too." "Very well, sir," answered Ned. After replenishing the fire, determined to remain awake until daylight, the lad rolled up in his blankets.
