“I wonder if we’ve caught the deer,” mused Teddy as they went on to the trap in Mrs. Traddle’s garden.
“You will find the deer in my trap,” said the cobbler confidently.
They soon were in sight of it. And one look was enough to tell them some captive was inside the trap. For there was a sound of banging horns, trampling feet and dull thuds. The trap was swaying from side to side.
“We’ve caught the deer!” cried Teddy leaping over the fence.
CHAPTER XV
ESCAPE
Just as Teddy Benson leaped over the fence and landed in Mrs. Traddle’s garden, to run toward the deer trap, the candy-store lady darted out of her back door and headed for the same place.
Teddy was followed by his chums and Mr. Crispen.
Mrs. Traddle was all alone. She was the first to reach the box trap out of which came many strange sounds.
There were sounds of tramping, beating feet and banging horns. Also sounds of grunts and heavy breathing.
