Is he lost?" exclaimed Bob in some dismay, for he was counting on having much fun with the goat when the Curlytops went West. "Nicknack " began Ted. "Have you seen Trouble?" broke in Janet. "Is he lost, too?" Bob inquired. "Say, I guess " "Our goat and little boy seem to have gone off together," explained Mr. Martin to Mrs. Newton who came out on the porch just then.
The Curlytops were greatly excited when they reached the camp. Trouble was playing out in front and Grandpa Martin had just landed in the boat. "What's that?" he cried, when he heard Ted's story. "A bear in a hollow log? Nonsense! There are no bears on Star Island." "But I saw it, and so did Janet. Didn't you, Jan?" cried Ted.
"I guess they belong to this ranch the one where we saw the ponies and cows," replied Teddy, as he saw a number of horsemen riding toward them. The horsemen began to whoop and shout, and their horses ran very fast toward the Curlytops. "There's a lady with 'em," remarked Janet. "They seem awful glad to meet us," went on Teddy. "Look, they're wavin' their hats." And so the cowboys were.
Martin, coming out into the kitchen to help with the work. She had just got Trouble to sleep after Teddy and Janet had brought him in from the haymow before riding off on their ponies. "Oh, I guess they won't," Aunt Millie answered. But, could Mrs. Martin and Aunt Millie have seen them, they would have been much surprised to know where the Curlytops then were.
Grandma Martin had put them there, for she felt sure the children would get hungry before their regular lunch was ready on the island. And she knew how hungry it makes anyone, children especially, to start off on a picnic in the woods or across a lake. "There you are, Curlytops!" laughed Grandpa Martin, as he passed out the molasses and sugar cookies. "Now don't drop any of them on your toes!"
There were many travelers going West not all as far as the Curlytops though and as there was not room in the dining-car for all of them to sit down at once they had to take turns. That is why the waiter made one, two, and sometimes three calls for each meal, as he went through the different coaches. Supper over, the Martins went back to their place in the coach in which they had ridden all day.
Ring Rosy Ranch! That isn't a half bad name! Guess I'll call mine that after this. Come on to Ring Rosy Ranch!" he invited as he laughed at the Curlytops. And the name Janet gave Uncle Frank's place in fun stuck to it, so that even the cowboys began calling their ranch "Ring Rosy," instead of "Circle O." Into the big wagon piled the Curlytops, Mrs.
The Curlytops, looking back, had a last glimpse of the flickering blue light as they hurried toward Cherry Farm, and they were a little frightened. "What do you s'pose it is?" asked Jan. "I don't know," answered Ted. "We'll ask Grandpa. Go on, Nicknack!" "Well, where in the world have you children been!" "Didn't you know we'd be worried about you?" "Did you get lost again?"
It grew darker. Ted looked anxiously about. Janet spoke softly to him. "Teddy," she asked, "are we are we lost?" For a moment Teddy did not answer. Then he replied slowly: "Yes I guess we are lost, Janet!" The Curlytops were in trouble. It was not the first time they had been lost, no indeed!
Tell me about this sick pony with the funny name." "He is Clipclap," answered Teddy, giving the name he had picked out for his new pet. "And we are the Curlytops." "Yes, I can see that all right," laughed the doctor with a look at the crisp hair of the little boy and girl. "But where do you live?" "At Uncle Frank's ranch," Janet answered. "You mean Mr.
