CHAPTER I

THE BLUE LIGHT

"Mother, make Ted stop!"

"I'm not doing anything at all, Mother!"

"Yes he is, too! Please call him in. He's hurting my doll."

"Oh, Janet Martin, I am not!"

"You are so, Theodore Baradale Martin; and you've just got to stop!"

Janet, or Jan, as she was more often called, stood in front of herbrother with flashing eyes and red cheeks.

"Children! Children! What are you doing now?" asked their mother,appearing in the doorway of the big, white farmhouse, holding in herarms a small boy. "Please don't make so much noise. I've just gottenBaby William to sleep, and if he wakes up—"

"Yes, don't wake up Trouble, Jan," added Theodore, or Ted, the shortername being the one by which he was most often called. "If you do he'llwant to come with us, and we can't make Nicknack race."

"I wasn't waking him up, it was you!" exclaimed Jan. "He keeps pullingmy doll's legs, Mother and—"

"I only pulled 'em a little bit, just to see if they had any springsin 'em. Jan said her doll was a circus lady and could jump on the backof a horse. I wanted to see if she had any springs in her legs."

"Well, I'm pretending she has, so there, Ted Martin! And if youdon't stop—"

"There now, please stop, both of you, and be nice," begged Mrs.Martin. "I thought, since you had your goat and wagon, you could playwithout having so much fuss. But, if you can't—"

"Oh, we'll be good!" exclaimed Ted, running his hands through histightly curling hair, but not taking any of the kinks out that way."We'll be good, I won't tease Jan anymore."

"You'd better not!" warned his sister, and, though she was a yearyounger than Ted, she did not seem at all afraid of him.

"If you do I'll take my half of the goat away and you can't ride."

"Pooh!
