"I wish we had let Peter and Cole come," said Willy, dolefully, sitting on the butt end of a log they had cut, and wiping his face on his sleeve. "Or had asked Uncle Balla to help us," added Frank. "They'd be certain to tell all about it." "Yes; so they would." They settled down in silence, and panted. "I tell you what we ought to do! Bait the hog-path, as you would for fish."
After finding the trail they followed it straight down to the swamp. Rolling their trousers up above their knees, they waded boldly in, selecting an opening between the bushes which looked like a hog-path. They proceeded slowly, for the briers were so thick in many places that they could hardly make any progress at all when they neared the branch.
Willy looked, and not fifty yards away, with their ends resting on old stumps, were three or four "hacks," or piles of rails, which had been mauled the season before and left there, probably having been forgotten or overlooked. Willy gave a hurrah, while bending under the weight of a large rail. At the spot where the hog-path came out of the thicket they commenced to build their trap.
