So the older Bobbsey twins told all they knew concerning it from the
time of having first heard about the wreck from Charley Mason until
they came home accompanied by Hiram Hickson, who had been slightly
hurt in the accident.
"Is he all right now?" Danny Rugg wanted to know.
"Oh, yes. He's gone to work in my father's lumberyard," explained
Bert. "I'm going to stop in to see him this afternoon."
"Can't we go, too?" asked Danny, as he and Charley Mason walked back
into the school with Bert, some of the talk having taken place at
recess.
"Yes, I guess so," was the answer.
Bert often stopped at the lumberyard on his way home from school. He
liked to play among the piles of logs and sawed boards, as did the
other boys. Flossie and Freddie liked this, too, but they were not
allowed to climb around on the lumber piles unless their father or
some other older person was with them. Often Bert and Nan made "sea-
saws" on a lumber pile, but to-day Nan wanted to hurry home with Grace
Lavine and Nellie Parks, for they had a new story book they were
reading together, and over which they were very much excited, each
pretending she was one of the principal characters.
