Bullets spatted against the walls, and he saw blood pumping from under Murdoch's right shoulder. "Keep going!" Murdoch ordered. A fresh cry from the street cut into his order, however. Gordon risked a quick look, then stepped farther out to make sure. The surprise raid by the Star Pointers hadn't been quite as much of a surprise as expected.
From a collector so much older and better experienced in misfortune than yourself, you ask for some advice on the sport of book-hunting. Well, I will give it; but you will not take it. No; you will hunt wild, like young pointers before they are properly broken.
By day, at eighteen or twenty miles distance, I show, by four pointers, isosceles triangles, twenty feet high, on four imaginary circles, eight imaginary points, which correspond with the figures 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, so that seven thousand different combinations are formed, of four figures each, which refer to a dictionary of words. By night, white lights are used. Dr.
Hunters tell us that pointers and hounds inherit the instinct which renders them such valuable allies in the pursuit of game; so that the offspring of a trained dog acquires the arts of the chase with very little instruction.

The others were strangers. They were all exceedingly unprepossessing in appearance. There was a pause. The three marauders had become aware of the presence of Mr.
Kitchiner recommends a gentleman who has a mind to carry the arrangement of his clothes to a nicety, to have the shelves of his wardrobe numbered 30, 40, 50, and 60, and according to the degree of cold pointed to by his thermometer, to wear a corresponding defence against it. Dr. Harwood fed two pointers; one he suffered to sleep after dinner, another he forced to take exercise.
Suddenly there came another and a longer explosion from below, and more bullets wasted themselves on air. John sighed. "You make me tired," he said. The Irish neighbors expressed the same sentiment in different and more forcible words. There was no doubt about it as warriors, the Three Pointers were failing to give satisfaction. A voice from the passage called to John. "Say!" "Well?" said John.
Two beautiful English pointers and a slender hound were moving about and sometimes disturbed the repose of the two Wachtersbach badger dogs, who were trained to keep side by side everywhere in the room as well as in hunting. When the door opened they only raised their sagacious little heads with a low growl.
If aptitudes for the acquisition of knowledge can be bred into a family as the qualities the sportsman wants in his dog are developed in pointers and setters, we know what we may expect of a descendant of one of the Academic Races. Other things being equal, he will take more naturally, more easily, to his books.
Megrez is the faint star already mentioned at the junction of the bowl and handle, and Mizar, in the middle of the handle, has a close, naked-eye companion which is named Alcor. The Arabs called this singular pair of stars ``The Horse and Rider. Merak and Duhbe are called ``The Pointers, because an imaginary line drawn northward through them indicates the Pole Star.
