and Mrs. Bobbsey
and the twins went out West.
"And be sure to feed Snap!" said Bert to Sam, as the colored man was
cutting the grass on the lawn one day, while the dog frisked about
chasing sticks that Bert and Freddie tossed here and there for him.
"Oh, I won't forget Snap!" promised Sam.
"And you must give Snoop a saucer of milk every day, Dinah!" said Nan,
as she rubbed the black cat which was purring around her legs.
"Oh, indeedy Snoop and I am mighty good friends!" declared Dinah. "I
suah won't forget to feed Snoop!"
Mr. Bobbsey bought other tickets, so he could take the children on the
Western trip. He made all the arrangements, trunks were packed, and
finally, one day, Bert and Nan and Flossie and Freddie said good-bye
to their school chums.
"I'm going out West to learn to be a cowboy!" said Bert.
"I wish I was going!" exclaimed Danny Rugg.
"So do I," said Charley Mason.
"I'll see some Indians, too," Bert went on.
"And will you see those darling little papooses they carry on their
backs?" asked Nellie Parks.
