One day while hunting quail coyey

dog and l the pup. and we proceeded
to beat up the cover. The first point
the pup made was at the foot Of a
small tree, where the trees stood thick,
but where the ground was stony and
was covered only with thin patches OF
dead leaves.
Taking the direction of the dogs
eyes l pissed close by his head and,
brushing by the tree at the foot Of
which he stood, walked on 10 or 10
feet, but flushed nothing.
