"It's a good thing you wore boots and rubbers," said Bob, as the
trolley car went on, leaving the boys, who waved to the conductor as
long as they could see him on the platform. "The mud is up to the hub
of the wagon wheels."




CHAPTER XV

ANOTHER RESCUE

A horse and wagon stood at one side of the road, and Bob led the boys
over and told them to "hop in."

"Isn't this the horse and wagon that was lost in the blizzard?" asked
Sunny Boy, scrambling up to a seat beside Bob. Indeed all the boys
tried to get near Bob, and when he turned the horse's head toward the
farmhouse, there were boys on every side of him.

"Same horse, same wagon," said Bob. "Only difference is the weather.
Feel how warm that sun is?"

"Where we going?" asked Carleton Marsh.

"Down to the house, first, to pick up Father," replied Bob. "He is
going to tinker up and whitewash some of the fences this morning. And
Ma said she wanted to say 'hello' to you all. I thought you'd like to
play down along the brook, and I can drive you there, because Father
wants to work on the pasture fence."
