"Why, it's of considerable importance to us to know in which direction the aeroplane was going at the time this party sighted it," Frank went on to say, "and I hope he told you that." "Which he did without my asking," replied Officer Green, quickly, "though you may be sure I would have done the same before letting him leave, because I was on to the fact that it would be a pretty good pointer."

Sharp was frantically endeavoring to make the gas generate faster. It was slow work, but with the lightening of the ship their situation improved. Slowly, so slowly that it seemed an age, the elevation pointer went higher and higher on the dial. "Sixteen hundred feet!" sung out Tom, pausing for a look at the gauge. "That's the best yet!"

Afterward he removed the cover of this dial also, and with keen tool cut the steel finger from the under side of the pointer. As quickly as possible he replaced the second dial cover, and resumed his place on guard.

Let me give you this pointer: if you are not anxious to have last night's fun over again, you'd better quit counting and get this herd full of grass and water before night, or you will be cattle shy as sure as hell's hot. "'When I ask you for an opinion, answered the foreman, somewhat indignant, 'such remarks will be in order. Until then you may keep your remarks to yourself.

We will vary only the size of the hole through which the light is to enter. For a close-up, a portrait head, we operate with the light coming through the full width of the lens. Now push to the right one notch the pointer which reduces the size of the hole. This makes the light come through a smaller diameter, which on a "U. S." scale will be marked "8."

The post had been broken off in some storm and blown away. "There'll be stuff under there," said Raft, "and if we have to go back it'll come in handy. It's a pointer to the bay anyhow; there must be some landin' place near here, we've only got to keep on." They sat down and rested and had some food, eating as much as they wanted now that they had a store to depend on.

A wall map with simply the outline of the territory, with its rivers, will be of considerable assistance in testing the accuracy of the student's geographical knowledge. While reciting, let him locate with chalk or pointer the cities, arbitrary boundary lines, and routes he finds it necessary to mention in his recitation.

Two young, graceful women ladies in every point sat, one in a low rocking-chair, the other on a lower stool; both wore deep mourning of crape and bombazeen, which sombre garb singularly set off very fair necks and faces: a large old pointer dog rested its massive head on the knee of one girl in the lap of the other was cushioned a black cat.

"'But the worst of it, sais I, 'is that a high bred dog or horse and a high bred man are only good for one thing. A pointer will point a blood horse run a setter will set a bull dog fight and a Newfoundlander will swim; but what else are they good for? Now a duke is a duke, and the devil a thing else.

Now there is only one way I can pay that debt, and that is to ask Don Gordon for the ten dollars he promised to give me for breaking his pointer. That's something I don't like, for the money isn't fairly earned yet, but I don't see what else I can do. Mother must have something to eat, and the only way I can get it is by making a friend of Silas by paying him this debt father owes him.
