"I'll soon have you out!" cried Dick. He was as good as his word. Reaching down in, he loosened the barrel-stave snowshoe from Russ's foot, and soon pulled the little boy up straight. Then he carried him to the porch. "I wouldn't go in deep places with those queer things on my feet any more," said Grandma Ford. "No, we won't," promised Russ.

Of course, now and then, one or the other's fastenings would become loose, and they would have to stop and tie them. Laddie got so he could do this for himself. "It's like when your shoelace comes untied," he said. "Did the Indians' laces come untied, Russ?"
