 some larks had been. Then swinging iuto the cornerof the Woods, 

 Novice challenged and roaded up to a bevy of birds in some briers, 

 and pointed nicely. , Two or three of them flushed wild, but sho 

 held the rest handsomely. Pollux also pointed on the trail of the 

 same birds, some distance behind. The birds were llm-hcd to 

 cider, but not shot at. Swinging round to get the wind, Pollux 

 got a little scent, and crossing a gully llushed a bird, an.!, se 6ral 

 more starting, he dropped nicely to wing. Working on in tho 

 sedge both challenged, and Pollux and his handler scored another 

 flush. We then moved on into the woods and up the hollow.

 he heard the whistle, and the bird flushed. Ho In. It a few
