but his tail straight up. I believe his 
circling prevented the birds from run¬ 
ning. When he was satisfied that he 
had the covey in position, he would 
simply sit down. But at such a time 
his head would rock slowly and slightly, 
and there would be in his eye that un¬ 
mistakably strange light which a bird- 
dog shows when he is sealed to a point. 
Another setter had a habit of crawling 
back to find me, and then walking for¬ 
ward again as gingerly as if he were 
stepping on eggs. Once I had a nervous 
little English setter that had a peculiar 
way of whining when she pointed. This, 
of course, was an eccentricity due to 
suppressed excitement. All these fash¬ 
ions in points, however, illustrate 
high intelligence, generous understand¬ 
ing. They are more likely to be found 
in the setter than in the pointer. When 
the latter finds birds, he turns statue; 
and his whole attitude seems to express 
something like this: “Come on, now; 
here are your birds. Make your work 
as businesslike as you can.” 
Once going through some very heavy 
brush with my pointer I saw him come 
to a stand. At the moment both ears 
were thrown across his head, and his 
lip at the side had been caught up—his 
whole dishevelment having been done 
by the briars and vines. He made a 
very savage-looking fellow thus point¬ 
ing. Had he had a heavy coat, he might 
have been taken for a wolf snarling. 
This little picture illustrates the point 
that a bird-dog, when he does stand, 
pays no attention to any personal in¬ 
convenience. Only this last autumn one 
of my pointers ran between an oak and 
a sapling, standing about eight inches 
apart. There he stopped. I thought he 
was caught; but as he seemed ready 
to stay, I approached carefully. A 
covey of quail was right ahead of him. 
After the birds had flushed, I had to 
help the pointer out of his difficulty. 
From far-off boyhood comes the mem¬ 
ory of a thing that a Gordon setter 
did for me. Barefooted and hatless, I 
was shooting ducks on an old ricefield 
bank at twilight. The setter had come 
along simply because we were insepa¬ 
rable companions. As there was deep 
water in the morasses on either side 
of the bank, 1 could not hope to get 
the ducks that fell clear of hard ground. 
My object was to shoot them so that 
they would fall on the bank. However, 
as every sportsman knows, it is some¬ 
thing to kill an old green-head mallard, 
let alone suggesting to him where he 
shall take his seat. Like a boy, I shot 
wildly and excitedly. I saw a good 
many ducks fall. To the dog I paid no 
attention. One duck I secured. And 
when the flight was over, and darkness 
suddenly fell, one duck appeared to be 
all that I would take home. Calling 
the dog, I turned down the bank. But 
I stepped on something warm and
