The bob-sled was about half-way down the hill when Nan, sitting next to Tommy, who was behind Charley, gave a cry. "Oh, look!" Nan exclaimed. "Flossie and Freddie! They're going to get right in our way! Steer out, Charley!" The little Bobbseys, in taking their last coast, had come too near the part of the hill where the big sleds were. "Flossie! Freddie!" cried Nan. "Look out! Steer away!"
Flossie and Freddie must have slipped out that way." "Very likely they did," said their father. "But no great harm is done. We will all go to lunch now. Won't you come with us, Mrs. Powendon?" "Thank you, I will," answered the lady who had come visiting, and so the rest of the Bobbseys and their friend went to the dining car.
"He hasn't any cow!" exclaimed Flossie, and she wondered why the man in the wagon laughed. "No, I haven't any cows with me," he said; "but if this is the Bobbsey family I can take you to a place where you will see lots of cattle." "We are the Bobbseys," said the children's father, walking over to the man in the wagon, "Are you from Three Star ranch?" "That's where I'm from.
So, after all, the Bobbsey twins really saw some Indians. "Good-bye, Bobbsey twins!" cried all the cowboys, and they fired their revolvers in the air. The Bobbseys were seated in the wagon, their baggage around them, ready to go to the station at Cowdon to take the train for the return to Lakeport. "Come and see us again!" yelled the cowboys.
After this little trouble, the Bobbseys and their friends went on toward the grove in the woods where the picnic was to be held. There was laughing and shouting, and much fun on the way, in which Snap shared. Boys and girls would run to one side or the other of the path to gather late flowers.
Along the Meadow Brook road everybody called out "Good-by!" for in the small country place all the Bobbseys were well known, and even those from Lakeport had many friends there. "Oh, here, Nan!" she called. "Do take these flowers if you can carry them.
"I wonder what they're waving to us for?" asked Flossie, as she looked back and saw the frantic signals of her father and mother, Bert and Nan. "And they're running after us, too!" she added. "Maybe they want us to come back," suggested Freddie. But as the ice-boat was too far away for the older Bobbseys to make their voices heard by Flossie and Freddie, Mr.
The Bobbseys were well provided and soon Sammie and Julia were smiling and happy as they sat beneath a tree, eating. Then came all sorts of games, from tag and jumping rope, to blind-man's bluff and hide-and-seek. Snap was made to do a number of tricks, much to the amusement of the teachers and children.
"Yes, I s'pose he would," Bert replied. Then the older Bobbsey twins forgot about Mr. Hickson in the joys and novelty of traveling. The Bobbseys were going to travel in this train only as far as a junction station. There they would change to a through train for Chicago, and in that big western city they would again make a change. On this through train Mr.
"We will," promised Mr. Bobbsey, but when the next day came the plan of the Bobbseys had to be changed. In Mr. Bobbsey's mail that morning was a letter from his bookkeeper at the lumberyard, which, when Mr. Bobbsey had read it, made him thoughtful. "I hope there isn't bad news," said Mrs. Bobbsey. "No, not exactly bad news," was her husband's answer. "But I think I shall have to go back home."
