"Oh, I guess there's no danger now, if they have a rope on him," said
Aunt Sarah.
"I'll go 'long with you," offered Freddie, "and I'd squirt water on
that ram from my fire engine--if I had it unpacked."
"You stay right here with me," advised his mother, putting her arms
around him.
Bert and Harry went out to look at the captured ram. The animal was
not ugly now. Perhaps the salt made him good-natured. And he was soon
led away, and tied up in a stable until his pasture fence could be
mended.
"My! What a lot of excitement!" exclaimed Nan, when it was all over.
"Nothing like this happened when we were on the houseboat."
"You forget the make-believe ghost," said Harry, with a laugh, for he
had helped solve that mystery.
"Oh, that's so," agreed Nan. "That was exciting for a while."
The Bobbsey twins, as well as their father and mother, to say nothing
of Dinah, were so tired from their long railroad journey that they
went to bed early that night. The sun was shining brightly when they
awakened next morning. Harry and Bert slept in the same room, and when
the country boy arose from bed he went to the window to look out.
