. Inglenook, The (1911) . t we expected as our story will show. After a supper of potatoes and boiledpumpkin we secured a young man for aguide, and started for the fields about amile from the village. When we arrived there we could find nofresh tracks, although there were plentyof cow tracks, or such they appeared to beto us. But the boy insisted that they werehog tracks. These, however, were severaldays old, so after we had lain down in anoats field for about two hours and had seennothing of the hogs, we were ready to say 1 told you so.
