"Why, yes. Often when I play in the moonlight they come out and dance for me."
"Oh!" said Bo.
"I have them all dancing together, sometimes. I'll have them dance for you before long."
"Oh, Ratio, will you?"
"Yes. It's a lot of fun, but there's no money in it, and that's what we're after now, Bo. We're going to buy that swamp, you remember, and start that bear colony."
Bosephus was about to reply when Horatio paused and listened. There was the distant sound of dogs barking.
"Hello!" said Bo. "We're coming to somewhere. Now we'll give our first regular performance. Come on, Ratio!"
Horatio hesitated.
"How many dogs do you suppose there are, Bo?" he asked anxiously.
"About a dozen, I should think, big and little."
