The Pony Rider Boys in New England
CHAPTER I
A BITTER DISAPPOINTMENT
"Here’s Tad. He’ll tell us," cried Walter Perkins. "Oh, Tad, how
long a trip is it to the Maine Woods from here?"
"That depends upon whether you walk or ride," answered Tad Butler,
walking slowly up to the barn of Banker Perkins where three
brown-faced boys were sitting in the doorway, polishing bridles,
mending saddles and limbering up their lassos.
"Of course you know what we mean," urged Ned Rector with a grin.
"Yes, I know what you mean."
"He isn’t mean. You’re the mean one," interjected Stacy Brown,
otherwise known among his fellows as Chunky, the Fat Boy.
"Chunky, remember we are at home in Chillicothe now and are supposed
to set examples to our less fortunate fellow citizens. Any fellow
who can get into the village paper the way you have done ought to
hold his head pretty high," chuckled Rector.
