But there was no answer. Skyrocket must have been far away, his little owners knew, not to answer their call. Ted and Janet forgot Baby William for a few moments while they searched all about the garage for their pet dog.
“I guess he isn’t here,” said Janet, with a sigh, after a while.
“No,” agreed Teddy. “We’ll have to put a piece in the paper. Maybe he——”
Teddy suddenly stopped speaking, for both he and Janet heard a funny little squeal.
“There he is!” cried Ted.
“That’s Skyrocket!” added Jan, clapping her hands. “He’s caught fast somewhere and can’t get out.”
They both stood still, listening for the cry to sound once more. It did, but in a different way. For besides the squeal came a call of:
“Ted! Jan! Oh! Oh! I tan’t det out! I caught fast! Oh, tum an’ det me!”
“It’s Trouble!” shouted Janet.
“Where is he?” cried Ted.
