Once for mere amusement he had scattered a pile in every direction. When he at last came suddenly upon the pen-trap one day, after it had been baited for some time, he gave a surprised grunt and backed off a few feet to get a better view. It looked very queer and very suspicious. He was quite sure that it had not been there a week ago, for he was well acquainted with the region.
But the party indicated smiled sweetly, and laid his hand on the region of his stomach, as he went on to say: "Why, really and truly, Davy, I think I'm going to have one of those nasty cramps just like you used to have so often.
