"The Bobbsey Twins in the Great West"

Bobbsey."
"No, you're going to live with us," declared Charley. "Part of the
time you can spend on Three Star ranch with me, and the rest of the
time you can live with Bill in the woods."
"Well, that will suit me all right," said Mr. Hickson, and so it was
arranged. He was to spend the winter on the ranch, where he would help
his son with Mrs. Bobbsey's cattle. Bill Hickson went back to the
lumber camp, and a few days later the Bobbsey twins left for home.
Nan had her wish in getting an Indian doll. One day, just before they
were to leave the ranch, a traveling band of Indians stopped to buy
some cattle. The Indian women had papooses, and some of the Indian
children had queer dolls, made of pieces of wood with clothes of bark
and skin. Mr. Bobbsey bought four of the dolls, one each for Nan and
Flossie, and two for Nan's girl friends at home. For Bert and Freddie
were purchased some bows and arrows and some Indian moccasins, or
slippers, and head-dresses of feathers. So, after all, the Bobbsey
twins really saw some Indians.
