and Mrs. Bobbsey. The twins were too busy looking
around the room and out of the windows through which now and then they
could see some of the cowboys, to pay much attention to the talk of
the grown-ups.
As Mr. Weston had said, he was going to give up being foreman of Three
Star ranch to take charge of a place he and another man had bought. He
was only staying until Mrs. Bobbsey could come and take charge of her
property. But Mr. Weston said she would have no trouble, with her
husband and the cowboys to help her."
"But I don't know anything about cows or cowboys," said Mr. Bobbsey.
"When it comes to lumber and trees I'm all right. But I'll be of no
use here, We must get another foreman, my dear," he said to his wife.
"Yes, undoubtedly," she agreed. "Oh, look at the children," she went
on, pointing out of the window. Bert and Nan and Flossie and Freddie
had left the table after the meal, and were now out near one of the
cattle yards, or corrals, standing beside a little cart to which a
pony was hitched.
