SOMETHING ABOUT TRAPPING When the smoke cleared away the two boy hunters saw two wolves stretched upon the ground, dead. The rest of the pack had retreated, yelping and snarling more frightfully than ever. "That's the time we did it!" cried Whopper, reloading the rifle, while Giant attended to his shotgun. "But it hasn't sent them away," was the answer of the smaller youth. "Here they come back!"
