he cried to the goat.

"Let me out!" screamed Janet, "I want to get out."

At the foot of the hill Teddy stopped the goat and Janet, taking
Trouble with her, got out and walked back to the house.

"What's the matter now?" asked Mrs. Martin from the porch where she
had come out to get a little fresh air.

"Ted's playing Wild West in the goat-wagon," explained Janet.

"Oh, Ted! Don't be so rough!" begged his mother of her little son,
who drove up just then.

"Oh, I'm only playing Indians and stage coach," he said. "You've got
to go fast when the Indians are after you!" and away he rode.

"He's awful mean!" declared Janet.

"I don't know what's come over Ted of late," said Mrs. Martin to her
husband, who came up the side street just then from his store.

"What's he been doing?" asked Mr. Martin.

"Oh, he's been pretending he was a bucking bronco, like those Uncle
Frank has on his ranch, and he tossed Trouble downstairs. But the
baby didn't get hurt, fortunately. Now Ted's playing Wild West
stagecoach with Nicknack and Janet got frightened and wouldn't ride."
