He ran on and on until he was quite close to Sprawley, and then he saw the cub pause at the edge of a strip of open water, and turn to look behind him to make sure that he was not followed. He did not see Teddy, for the fairy had hidden quickly behind a block of ice. Sprawley turned toward the water again and gave a long, quavering cry that sounded like a call.

"All aboard for the West!" echoed Daddy Martin, and they were off. Won't we have fun, Jan, when we get to the ranch?" "I guess so, Teddy. But I don't like it about those Indians." "Oh, didn't you hear Daddy say they were tame ones like the kind in the circus and Wild West show? They won't hurt you, Jan." "Well, I don't like 'em. They've got such funny painted faces." "Not the tame ones, Jan.

Silk, in stern but broken accents. Miss Kybird giggled and, avoiding his gaze, looked pensively at the faded hearthrug. "You're making her blush," said Mr. Nugent, sternly. "Sit down, Teddy; I'm ashamed of you. We're both ashamed of you. You're confusing us dreadfully proposing to us both in this way." Mr.

Teddy stepped aside just in time to save himself from being bowled over. But as the donkey ran by him the boy threw both arms about the animal's neck. Then began the liveliest scrimmage that the spectators had ever witnessed.

Teddy would not be satisfied with the moon, and after he was in his crib kept popping up his head to ask if Danny was not "tummin' soon."

"How would you like to join the show and be a real circus man?" demanded Phil. "Great!" "Maybe I can fix it for you." "You?" "Yes." "Don't give me such a shock, Phil.
