"Come on!" cried Nat, joyfully excited. "The chair was here all right! Now all we'll have to do will be to follow these marks and we'll find Racky. Come on!"
He led the way, followed by the others who were quite as happily excited as he was. It would be wonderful to find the runaway rocker and Grandma's glasses, the children thought.
"How far do you think we'll have to go!" asked Weezie, when they had followed the chair's trail quite a distance over the lot.
"Oh, not very far, I guess," answered her brother. "Why, don't you want to come?"
"Yes, of course I want to come," replied Weezie. "But I don't want to go too far from home."
"I don't, either," said Addie. "And it looks like it was going to rain some more." She glanced up at the clouds.
"I guess it will snow," declared her brother. "It's getting colder."
"If it snows, it will be lots of fun, and we can find Racky easier," stated Nat.
"How?" asked Rodney.
"Why, the tracks will be plainer in the snow," said Nat. "And we can slide down hill, too, after we find the chair and take Grandma's glasses back to her. Let's run! I can see where the chair has been along here," and he pointed to the marks in the soft ground—marks that looked as if a two-wheeled cart had been hauled along there. They were the tracks of Racky's rockers, plain enough.
