"
"Then we'll go!" cried Uncle Frank.
Teddy and Janet were very much excited when they saw the cowboys
saddling their mustangs ready for the chase.
CHAPTER XIV
LOOKING FOR INDIANS
"Can't we come along?" asked Teddy, as he saw Uncle Frank lead his
horse out of the corral.
"And I want to come, too!" added Janet.
"Oh, no! We couldn't think of letting you!" answered Uncle Frank.
"Come on, boys! Get ready. We'll have to ride fast!''
"We can ride fast!" added Teddy. "You said, the other day, Uncle
Frank, I could ride real good!"
"So you can, Curlytop."
"Then why can't we come? Jan--she's a good rider, too!"
"Why the idea of you children thinking you can go off on a hunt for
Indians!" exclaimed their mother.
"We want to go--awful much!" Teddy murmured.
"Not this time, Curly boy," said the ranchman. "We may have to be
out all night, and it looks like rain. You stay at home with Janet,
and I'll tell you all about it when I come back."
"Will you, truly?"
"Truly I will."
"And if you get any Indians will you bring 'em here?" Teddy demanded.
"No, don't!" cried Janet quickly. "I don't want to see any Indians."
"But they're _tame_ ones," said her brother.
"They can't be _awful_ tame, else they wouldn't run away with Uncle
Frank's cows," declared the little girl.
"That's right!" laughed Uncle Frank. "I guess we won't bring any
Indians here, Curlytop, even if we catch 'em, which we may not do as
they have a good start of us.
