for you Mr. Horse. Maybe there is one in the wagon."

He said "whoa" and the horse stopped. Then Sunny Boy climbed into the
wagon and felt under the seat. Sure enough there was a blanket.

"What are you going to do with that, Sunny Boy?" asked Helen Graham.

"Put it on the horse," replied Sunny Boy. "I think he must be awfully
cold. He's a pretty tall horse, but I guess Jimmie will help me."

Jimmie helped him and so did Perry and Carleton, and it took them all
to get the blanket spread over the horse. They got it on wrong and
there was no way to fasten it, so they took turns holding it around the
horse's neck as he walked. Sunny Boy held the blanket in place till
his hands were cold, then Jimmie held it while Sunny warmed his hands.
When Jimmie's hands were cold, Perry held the blanket, and then
Carleton. The horse looked surprised at such kindness, but he did not
walk any faster. He couldn't.

"I guess we've walked a hundred miles," said Sunny Boy wearily, when
they had trudged through the wind and snow for a long, long time.

Then, as though he had heard, the horse stopped suddenly. He pointed
his ears straight ahead and then turned the wagon around so quickly
that the girls inside cried out in fright. They thought they were
going to be tipped out in the snow. But the horse was walking slowly
up a driveway, and now he stopped again and Sunny Boy saw that he stood
in front of a barn.
