At this the boys all laughed at Tom, remembering the runaway. "Well, I could be a cowboy, and ride him just the same," spoke up Tom. "I rode him around the track yesterday, and he went all right. He was only scared with that sulphur match when he ran away." "A circus would be fine," Bert put in. "We could have Frisky as the Sacred Calf." "And Snoopy as the Wild Cat," said Harry.
As to his own team, he was particularly proud of the way they had taken the training their fine self-denial, and especially the never-dying spirit which they showed. It was a great honour for his team to meet the Cornwalls. A hard team to meet sometimes as Snoopy and himself had found out that evening but they were good sports and he hoped some day to meet them again.
Snoopy takes the ball from Geordie, rushes around the goal the other way, Mamma, do you see? passes back to Reddy, his partner, who slips it in! And poor Jumbo was unable to do anything. I believe he was still dazed from his terrible fall!" Then Hugh breaks in: "It really was beautifully done." "It certainly was," said Vic. "Seven to six, Mamma, think of it!
"Do you know, Captain Jack," said Patricia gravely, "there is one change you ought to make in your forward line." "Yes! What is that, Pat?" asked Captain Jack, with never a suggestion of a smile. "I would change Snoopy for Geordie Ross. You know Geordie is a little too careful, and he is hardly fast enough for you. Now you and Snoopy on left wing would be oh! perfectly wonderful."
Next Harry stretched out both arms straight and the kittens carefully walked over into his hands. "Well, I declare!" exclaimed Dinah. "Jest see dat Snoopy kitty-cat! If he can't do real reg'lar circus tricks! And jest to think how he cut up on de cars! 'Pears like as if he was doin' it fer jokes den too!" "And look at Fluffy!" exclaimed Martha; "as white as Snoop is black!"
"We'll wash up a bit and join you in a few minutes, ladies," Uncle Daniel said, in his polite way. The horse accident had given plenty of need for a washing up. "Got Snoop dis time," Freddie lisped, knocking the cover off the box and petting the frightened little black cat. "Hungry, Snoopy?" he asked, pressing his baby cheek to the soft fur.
"Oh, Snoop, Snoop!" cried Freddie. "He's in the library in the box! Dinah, get him quick, get him!" and Dinah ran back after the little kitten. "Here you is, Freddie!" she gasped, out of breath from hurrying. "You don't go and forget poor Snoopy!" and she climbed in beside Sam. Then they started. "Oh, my lan' a-massy!" yelled Dinah presently in distress.
"The fact of the matter is, Snoopy is a clever little beggar and I happened to catch his wink as Maitland was bending over him. I was helping him off the ice, you know, and I heard him whisper, 'Don't worry, Captain, I'm all right. Get me another pair of skates. It will take a little time." "Do you mean he wasn't hurt?" exclaimed Patricia indignantly.
"When I goes on de police fo'ce I takes good care ob my beat, and you needn't be a-worryin', Freddie, de Snoopy kitty cat and de Downy duck will be heah when you comes back," and she nodded her wooly head in real earnest.
A great big, two-hundred-pound monster, who simply threw Snoopy and Georgie Ross all about the rink. It took Captain Jack all his time to stand up against him. And then they ran in goals at a perfectly terrific rate. Two three four five! And only Fatty Findlay's marvelous play kept down the score. I adore Fatty! You know, Mamma, that dear old Scotchwoman " "Scotchwoman?" exclaimed Mrs. Templeton.
