Teddy and Janet told all that had happened to them, from getting
lost, to finding the blanket and going to sleep in it on the open
prairie.
One of the cowboys with Uncle Frank had lost the blanket, and he
said he was glad he dropped it, since it gave Teddy and Janet
something to eat and something to wrap up in.
That afternoon the stolen horses and cattle were driven in from the
hidden valley; so the Indians did not get them after all. And a
little later some soldiers came to keep guard over the Redmen so they
could not again go off their reservation to make trouble. All of
Uncle Frank's animals, except a few that the Indians had sold, were
found, and the Curlytops were the pride of Ring Rosy Ranch as long as
they remained there.
"Well, I wonder if we'll have any more adventures," said Janet to
her brother one day, about a week after they were lost and had been
found.
"Oh, I guess so," he answered. "Anyhow, we've got two nice ponies,
and we can have lots of rides. Come on, I'll race you."
The bright summer days brought more fun to Teddy and Janet at Uncle
Frank's ranch. They rode many miles on Star Face and Clipclap,
sometimes taking Trouble with them.
"I want to dwive," said the little fellow one day, as he sat on the
saddle in front of his brother.
"All right, you may drive a little while," Teddy answered, and he
let Baby William hold the reins.
