The bald-headed cook gave
them a bag of "fried cakes" to take with them. They were to ride to
the station in the same lumber wagon that had brought them to the
camp, and Harvey Hallock was to drive them.
"Good-bye!" said Bill Dayton to Mr. and Mrs. Bobbsey, after he had
talked to the Bobbsey twins. "If you stop off here on your way home
from your ranch, we'll all be glad to see you."
"Perhaps we may stop off," Mrs. Bobbsey answered. "Now that I own a
lumber tract I must look after it, though I am going to leave the
management of it to you."
"I'll do my best with it," promised the foreman. "And if you should
happen to meet my brother out among the cowboys tell him I was asking
for him. I don't s'pose you will meet him, but you might."
And then the Bobbsey twins started off on another part of their trip
to the great West. They did not have long to wait for the train in the
Lumberville station, and, as they got aboard and began their travels
once more, they could see Harvey Hallock waving to them from his
wagon.
