"Indeed they do eat very good," said the maid, as she carried in
more of the food which Hop Sing knew so well how to cook.

After supper the Curlytops and the others sat out on the broad porch
of the ranch house. Off to one side were the other buildings, some
where the farming tools were kept, for Uncle Frank raised some grain
as well as cattle, and some where the cowboys lived, as well as
others where they stabled their horses.

"I know what let's do," said Jan, when she and her brother had sat
on the porch for some time, listening to the talk of the older folks,
and feeling very happy that they were at Uncle Frank's ranch, where,
they felt sure, they could have such good times.

"What can we do?" asked Teddy. Very often he let Jan plan some fun,
and I might say that she got into trouble doing this as many times as
her brother did. Jan was a regular boy, in some things. But then I
suppose any girl is who has two nice brothers, even if one is little
enough to be called "Baby."

"Let's go and take a walk," suggested Jan. "My legs feel funny yet
from ridin' in the cars so much."

"Ri-_ding_!" yelled Teddy gleefully. "That's the time you forgot your
g, Janet."

"Yes, I did," admitted the little girl. "But there's so much to look
at here that it's easy to forget. My forgetter works easier than
yours does, Ted."
