"Yes, the nights are getting colder, that's certain. I was
just wondering if that cover will withstand snow as well as it
does rain?"
"Why," said Ollie, "do you think it's going to snow?"
"Not to-night," returned Jack. "But it may before we get out
of the mountains. The snow comes pretty early up there sometimes.
I think I'll get inside and share the bed with the rancher after
this, and you and Snoozer can curl up in the front end of the
wagon-box. It would be a joke if we got snowed in somewhere, and
had to live in the Rattletrap till spring."
"I wouldn't care if we could keep warm," said Ollie. "I like
living in it better than in any house I ever saw."
"I'm afraid it would get a little monotonous along in March,"
laughed Jack. "Though I think myself it's a pretty good place to
live.
