"Yes, you did," admitted Teddy, thinking of that time. "But I can't
give you half the pony, can I?"

"No, I guess not. But you could let me ride on him."

"Oh, I'll do that!" exclaimed Teddy quickly. He was thinking it
would be a hard matter to divide a live pony in half.

"Course I'll let you ride on him!" he went on. "We'll get Uncle
Frank to let us have a saddle and some of the cowboys can teach us to
ride. And I'll let you feed and water him as much as you like. I'm
going to call him Clipclap."

"That's a funny name," remarked Janet.

"It's how his feet sound when he runs," explained Teddy. "Don't you
know--clip-clap, clip-clap!" and he imitated the sound of a pony as
best he could.

"Oh, yes!" exclaimed Janet. "They do go that way."

"I haven't heard this one run," added Teddy, "'cause he's sick and
he can't gallop. But I guess his feet would make that sound, so I'm
going to call him Clipclap."

"It's a nice name," agreed Janet. "But I guess we better give him a
drink now. He must be awful thirsty."

"He is," said Teddy. "Hear him groan?"
