"He hadn't been out of the stable for some time, and that's what made
him so frisky," said the foreman, who was soon going to leave Three
Star. "He won't run away again."
And Toby, which was the name of the pony, never did. Bert and Nan
drove him often after that, and there never was a bit of trouble. Even
Freddie and Flossie were allowed to drive, when Bert or Nan sat on the
seat near them, in case of accident.
Mr. Charles Dayton soon proved that he was a good cattleman, and he
was made foreman of Three Star ranch after Dick Weston left. The
cowboys seemed to like their new foreman.
"And, now that you are one of us here," said Mrs. Bobbsey to her new
foreman, "don't forget to write and let your brother know where you
are."
"I'll do that!" promised the cattleman.
Busy and happy days on the ranch followed. While Mr. and Mrs. Bobbsey
looked after the new business of raising and selling cattle, the
Bobbsey twins had good times. The new foreman and the cowboys were
very fond of the children, and were with them as much as they could be
during the day.
