"Well, if the Curlytops haven't gone and done it!"
"Done what?" asked their mother.
"They've found the lost cattle and horses!"
"You mean Uncle Frank's!" asked Teddy.
"That's just what I mean! These are the horses and cattle the Indians drove away. The Redmen put the animals in this valley and made a fence at this end so they couldn't get out. They knew the horses and cattle would have water to drink and grass to eat, and they'd stay here a long while—until the Indians would have a chance to drive 'em farther away and sell 'em.
"Yes, that's just what they did. I never thought of this valley, though I saw it quite a few years ago. I've never been here since. The Indians knew it would be a good place to hide the horses they stole, and we might never have found 'em if it hadn't been for you Curlytops."
"I'm glad!" said Teddy.
"So'm I," said Janet, "and I'm hungry, too!"
"Well, well soon have you back at Ring Rosy Ranch, where there's a good breakfast!" laughed Baldy. "Well! Well! To think of you Curlytops finding what we cowboys were looking all over for!"
"And are daddy and Uncle Frank looking for these horses and cattle?" asked Teddy.
