But neither the Curlytops nor their mother were as frightened at this play of the cowboys as they had been at first. "I wish I had a gun that would go bang," said Teddy one day. "Oh, The-o-dore Mar-tin!" cried his sister, after the fashion of her mother. "If you had I'd never go riding ponyback with you never again! I'd be afraid of you! So there!" "Well, so would the Indians!" said Ted.
"Oh, The-o-dore Mar-tin!" cried Janet, much as she sometimes heard her mother use her brother's name. "Don't you dare!" "Why not?" asked Teddy, who tried to speak very bravely, though he really did not feel brave. But he was not going to show that before Janet, who was a girl. "Why can't I see what that is?"
"Now don't cry!" warned Teddy. "I I'm not!" exclaimed his sister. "I I was just blowing my nose, so there, The-o-dore Mar-tin!" Teddy grinned in the darkness, tired as he was. He was glad Janet was a little angry with him. That meant she would not cry, and if his sister started to weep Ted did not know what he would do. He might even cry himself. He was not too big for that.
"The-o-dore Martin!" gasped Janet. "I wish you'd keep quiet! It makes me scared to hear you say that." "Well, I was only foolin'," and Teddy dropped a "g," a habit of which his mother was trying to break him. And he did not often forget. "If I saw a bear," began Janet, "I'd just scream and " Suddenly she stopped because of a queer look she saw on her brother's face.
"I'm going to play he's a wild steer," answered Teddy. "Oh, The-o-dore Mar-tin!" cried Janet, much as her mother might have done. "You're not going to lasso him, are you?" "I am if I can," and Teddy spoke slowly. He was not quite sure he could. The calf came along easily enough, for Teddy had petted it and fed it several times. "He's awful nice," said Janet. "You won't hurt him, will you?"
Take your old wagon if you want to, but if you do " "The-o-dore!" exclaimed his mother in a slow, warning voice, and when he heard his name spoken in that way, with each syllable pronounced separately, Ted knew it was time to haul down his quarreling colors and behave. He did it this time. "I I'm sorry," he faltered. "I didn't mean that, Jan. I won't pull your doll's legs any more."
"Oh, we'll try to find out which way they went and then we'll follow after them until we catch them and get back the ponies." "It's just like hide-and-go-seek, isn't it, Uncle Frank?" asked Janet. "Yes, something like that But it takes longer." "I wish I could go to hunt the Indians!" murmured Teddy. "Why, The-o-dore Mar-tin!" exclaimed his mother. "I'm surprised at you!"
