" The best hunting is often to be had when there is snow
on the ground, and my readers can rest assured that the four boy
hunters made the most of their opportunities.
A while after the boys got home, it was learned that Andrew Felps
had escaped with his party, unharmed, but all had lost practically
everything they had taken along but the launch. The forest had
been much damaged, especially that tract which the Felps Lumber
Company had purchased for cutting purposes, so the lumber merchant
was out in more ways than one. Nothing was said to him about
the talk he had had with Lusher Barrock, and he himself was afraid
to open his mouth about it, and soon the incident was practically
forgotten. The Barnaby Company went to work at the Spur Road tract
and nobody attempted to stop them.
"Boys, we had a dandy time, didn't we?" said Snap, one evening after
he had had his fill of venison steak.
"We had the best time ever!" said Shep. "May we have many more like
it!"
"Just wait till this winter!" cried Whopper.
"I am going to kill sixteen deer, twenty bears, two hundred wild
turkeys, and about a thousand rab-----"
"Draw it mild, Whopper!" ejaculated Giant.
