"They are carrying something between them," said Whopper, as the men came closer. "Looks like a deer."
"It is half of a deer—the very deer we killed!" cried Giant.
Soon the men were within speaking distance.
"Good morning, boys," said Giles Faswig, blandly.
"Good morning," returned Snap, briefly. Instinctively he felt that something unusual was in the air.
"We've come to the conclusion to let you have half of that deer," said
Vance Lemon.
"Better keep it," said Giant, curtly.
"That's just what I say," murmured Whopper.
"No, boys, we want to do the fair thing," said Giles Faswig, smoothly. "As it was shot on Mr. Felps' land he thinks he is justly entitled to it, but at the same time—"
"I don't think we want the deer—now," said Snap. "We have plenty of other game, and you acted so hateful about it you can keep it."
