"Yes, I guess he would," admitted the little girl. "He is going away, Teddy. Oh, dear! Now he can't help us!"
Without a word Teddy started back toward the rocks, and his sister followed. He was close to them when Janet spoke again.
"What are you going to do?" she asked.
"I'm going in there and see what that noise was," Teddy replied.
"Oh, you mustn't!" she cried, hoping to turn him away. But Teddy answered:
"Yes, I am, too! I'm going to see what it is!"
"I'm not!" cried Janet. "I'm going home. You'd better come with me!"
But, though she turned away and went a short distance from the rocks in the direction she thought the ranch house of Ring Rosy Ranch should be, she very soon stopped. She did not like going on alone. She looked back at Ted.
Teddy had walked a little way toward the hole in the rocks. Now he called to his sister.
"The noise comes from in here," he said. "It's in this little cave."
