"We just found the pony in the cave," explained Teddy. "We were
taking a walk and we heard him groan."
"Oh, I see," said Mrs. Bond. "Well, I hope the doctor can make him
well for you," she went on, as her husband hurried back into the
house to get ready for the trip.
He had a small automobile, and in this he and the children were soon
hurrying along the road toward Ring Rosy Ranch. It was decided to go
there first instead of to the cave where the pony was.
"We'll get Jim Mason and take him back with us," said the doctor.
Uncle Frank and his cowboys had come back from looking after the
lost ponies, but had not found them. He, as well as Mr. and Mrs.
Martin, were very much surprised when the Curlytops came riding up to
the ranch in Doctor Bond's automobile.
"Well, where in the world have you been?" cried Mother Martin. "We
were just beginning to get worried about you children. Where were
you?"
"We found a pony!" cried Janet.
"And he's sick!" added Teddy.
"And his name is Clipclap!" exclaimed the little girl.
"And he's mine but Janet can have half of him, and we got him water
in our hats," came from Teddy.
"And we got the doctor, too!" went on his sister.
"Well, I should say you'd put in quite a busy day," chuckled Uncle
Frank. "Now let's hear more about it."
So the Curlytops told, and Doctor Bond said, even if he was not a
horse doctor, he'd go out and look at the pony in the cave, if the
ranch foreman would come with him.
