He brought with him the bad twenty dollar bill the man had cheated Frank with, and a little later the dishonest man was taken away by a policeman, and put in a place where he would have to work hard as a punishment for cheating honest persons. The Bobbseys never saw him again. Everyone said Frank was very smart to catch the cheat as he had done. Mr.
"Oh mamma, what can it be?" A brakeman came into the car where the Bobbseys were. "There's no danger," he said. "Please keep your seats. A circus train that was running ahead of us got off the track, and some of the animals are loose. Our train nearly ran into an elephant, and that's why the engineer had to stop so suddenly. We will go on I soon." "A circus, eh?" said Mr. Bobbsey. "Well, well!
"Because I think we're in for a big storm, and you might easily get lost again. Unless I'm mistaken, it's going to snow hard before morning." Henry Burdock proved a true weather prophet, for when the Bobbseys and the other got up the next morning the ground was covered with a mantle of newly-fallen snow, and more was sifting down from the clouds. The wind, too, was blowing fiercely.
"'Deed an' I won't, little Missie!" laughed the colored porter. "I thought maybe it was a watermelon yo' all had in dat box." "All aboard!" called the conductor again, and then, with the Bobbseys safely in their chair car, the train puffed away again, going faster and faster. "The engine can hardly get its breath," remarked Freddie, as he listened to the puffing of the locomotive.
The freight car had been smashed and so had the front part of the passenger engine. But another locomotive had come with the wrecking train, and this was used to haul the Bobbseys and other passengers where they wanted to go. "Now we'll have something to tell Mr. Hickson when we get back home," said Bert to Nan the next morning at the breakfast table. "You mean about the wreck?" asked Nan.
I guess Hank is coming back to us," and the welcome sound of wheels on the road brought the party to their feet again. "Hello there!" called Hank. "Here you are. Come along now, we'll make it this time." It did not take the Bobbseys long to reach the roadside and there they found Hank with a big farm wagon.
Bobbsey declared, but that was easier said than done, for no sooner would one of the Bobbseys approach the cat than Snoop would walk himself off. And not on the floor either, but up and down the velvet chairs, and in and out under the passengers' arms. Strange to say, not one of the people minded it, but all petted Snoop until, as Bert said, "He owned the car." "Dat cat am de worst!"
The Bobbsey twins soon knew why it was that no automobile could have traveled over the roads through the woods to the lumber camp. There were so many holes that the wagon lurched about as the boat had when the Bobbseys were on the deep blue sea.
Then there was Downy, a pet duck; Snoop, a pet black cat, and, of late, Snap, the fine trick dog, who had come into the possession of the Bobbseys in a peculiar manner. In the first book of this series, entitled "The Bobbsey Twins," I told of the good times the four children had in their home.
Even though the Bobbseys got in an express elevator after getting out of the small, slower one, it could not go down fast enough to suit Freddie's mother. When the ground floor was reached she was the first to rush out. One look around the big corridor of the Woolworth Building showed Mrs. Bobbsey that something had happened over near one of the elevators.
