"Well, it'll make your cheeks nice and red," went on Teddy.
"They're as red now as I want 'em," answered Jan. "What I say let's do is to see can go the farthest on our sleds."
"Oh, you mean have a race?"
"No, not zactly a race," answered the little girl. "When you race you see who can go the fastest. But now let's see who can go the longest."
"Oh, I see!" exclaimed Teddy. "That will be fun. Come on!" and he started to drag his sled to the top of the hill, Janet following after, "like Jack and Jill," as she laughingly told her brother.
When the two children were about half way up the hill, their heads bowed down, for the wind cut into their faces, they heard a shout of:
"Look out the way! Look out the way! Here we come!"
Ted and Jan looked up quickly and saw, coasting toward them, another little boy and girl on their sleds.
"Come over here!" cried Teddy to his sister. "Come over on my side of the hill and you'll be out of the way."
"No, you come over with me!" said Janet. "This is the right side, and mother said we must always keep to the right no matter if we walked up or slid down hill."
