foreman. "But I didn't hear until a little while ago, when one of the
cowboys I sent to see if the ponies were all right came in. He got
there to find 'em all gone, so I came right over to tell you."

"Well, we'll have to see about this!" exclaimed Uncle Frank. "Who's
the cowboy you sent to see about the ponies?"

"Henry Jensen. He just got in a little while ago, after a hard ride."

"And who does he think took the horses?"

"He said it looked as if the Indians had done it!" and at these
words from the foreman Ted and Janet looked at one another with
widely opened eyes.

"Indians?" said Uncle Frank. "Why, I didn't think any of them had
come off their reservation."

"Some of 'em must have," the foreman went on. "They didn't have any
ponies of their own, I guess, so they took yours and rode off on 'em."

"Well, this is too bad!" said Uncle Frank in a low voice. "I guess
we'll have to get our boys together and chase after these Indians,"
he went on. "Yes, that's what I'll do. I've got to get back my
ponies."

"Oh, can't I come?" cried Teddy, not understanding all that was
going on, but enough to know that his uncle was going somewhere with
the cowboys, and Teddy wanted to go, too.
