"But how about the fourth one, Elmer; seems to me you've been holding back something there, that you mean to spring on us," said Lil Artha.
"Well, I have," remarked the other, quickly. "This fourth track was smaller than the others, and the person also wore American-made shoes."
"Ah, a boy, eh?" asked Red.
The scout master shook his head.
"Wrong that time, my boy. You'll have to guess again, I reckon," he said.
"Was it a woman, Elmer?" demanded Lil Artha.
"Just what it was—an Italian woman, squatty like most of her race; and I should say between fifty-five and sixty years of age," Elmer replied, soberly.
