"I should say so!" agreed Mrs. Newton. "But I guess you're right,
Teddy. Your little brother started off to hide the goat and wagon so
you couldn't leave it behind. He's a funny baby, all right!"

"And look how he harnessed him!" exclaimed Bob.

Nicknack really wasn't harnessed. The leather straps and the buckles
were all tangled up on him, but Trouble had managed to make enough of
them stick on the goat's back, and had somehow got part of the
harness fast to the wagon, so Nicknack could pull it along.

"I had a nice wide," said Trouble, as Bob and Teddy straightened out
the goat's harness. "Den I got sleepy an' Nicknack he got hungry, so
we comed in here."

"And we've been looking everywhere for you!" exclaimed Mrs. Newton.
"Well, I'm glad we've found you. Come along, now. Ted, you and Bob
hurry along and tell the others. Your mother'll be worried."

And indeed Mrs. Martin was worried, especially when she met Mr.
Martin and Janet, who had not found Trouble.

But Teddy and Bob soon met with the other searchers and told them
that Baby "William had been found.

"Oh, what will you do next?" cried Mrs. Martin, as she clasped the
little fellow in her arms. "Such a fright as you've given us!"

"No want Nicknack to go 'way!" said Trouble.
