"No, Curlytop, you'd better stay with your sister and mother," said the farmer. "I don't really believe there are any tramps here." "But I saw him!" insisted Janet. "I know you saw some one, Curly Girl," and grandpa smiled at her. "Of course there may be a strange man maybe two, for you say you heard one call to the other. But they may have just stopped for a little while on this island.
"Well, they're pretty, certainly," said Grandpa Martin, as he picked up one from the wagon, "but they're no better than any other rocks around here, as far as I can see." "They've got gold in 'em, Hal says," Ted stated. "Gold? Oh, no, Curlytop!" laughed his grandfather. "I've told you there is no gold on this island." "There's something in the blue rocks," declared Hal.
"Oh, can't I come?" cried Teddy, not understanding all that was going on, but enough to know that his uncle was going somewhere with the cowboys, and Teddy wanted to go, too. "Oh, I'm afraid you couldn't come Curlytop," said the foreman, giving Teddy the name almost everyone called him at first sight, and this was the first time Jim Mason had seen Teddy.
If he belonged to some other ranch it must have been far away. "So you may feel that it is all right for you to keep your pony, Curlytop," said Uncle Frank to Teddy. "If anyone should, later, say it belongs to him, and can prove it, we'll give it up, of course." "But I don't want to give Clipclap up!" Teddy cried. "Well, maybe you won't have to," said his father.
Leaving their shovels and the hoe on the pile of dirt, the children hastened down to the tent where Nora had supper waiting for them, and it had a most delicious smell. "Where have you children been?" asked Mrs. Martin. "Oh, havin' fun," answered Ted. "Don't forget your 'g, Curlytop," warned his mother with a laugh. "Are you hungry, Hal?" "Indeed I am!
"Did you ever get captured by the Indians?" asked Teddy. "Well, yes, once I was," answered the cowboy. "Oh, tell us about it!" begged the little Curlytop chap. "I love to hear stories about Indians! Don't you, Jan?" "I like stories yes," said the little girl. "But if you're going to tell a story about Indians, Mr. Baldy, maybe it'll be a scary one, and I don't like scary stories."
