“Oh, let’s try,” said Bunny.  “Then we could give him a truly, really ride.”

The Teddy bear was quite large, but not very heavy, and by stretching it along three cars it could get on the train very nicely.  It was even too long for three cars, but hanging over a bit did not matter, Sue said.

So she put it on top of the train, turned on its electric eyes, and then Bunny turned on the switch that made the current go into the motor of his engine.  At first the train would not start, for the bear was a bit heavy for it, but when Bunny gave the engine a little push with his hand away it went as nicely as you please, pulling the bear around and around the shiny track, which was laid in a circle.

“Whoa!” called Sue.  “Stop the train I Here is where my Teddy gets off.”

“You mustn’t say whoa when you stop a train,” objected Bunny.  “Whoa is to stop a horse.”

“Well, how do you stop a train?” Sue asked.

“Just say ‘ding!’ That’s one bell and the engineer knows that means to stop.”

“I thought bells stopped trolley cars,” said Sue.

“They do, but they stop trains too, ’specially as mine is an electric train.”

“All right.  Ding!” called Sue sharply.

Bunny turned the switch the other way to shut off the current, and the train stopped.  Sue took off the Teddy bear and said “Thank you” to Conductor Bunny Brown.

Then the little boy played with his toy train by himself, while Sue pretended her Teddy bear was visiting in Sue’s Aunt Lu’s city home and kept winking its electric-light eyes at Wopsie, a little colored girl Bunny and Sue had known in New York, where Aunt Lu lived.

“Supper!” suddenly called Mother Brown, and the two hungry children hurried into the dining tent where Mr. Brown and Uncle Tad were waiting for them.

“Well, how did your electric train go?” asked Bunny’s father.

“Fine!  It’s the best ever.”

“And my Teddy is just lovely,” said Sue.

“Well, be careful of your toys,” said Mr. Brown.  “Better bring in the tracks and the engine and cars right after supper.”

“I will,” Bunny promised, “after I’ve played with them a bit.”

It was dusk when he and Sue took up the shiny track and carried the batteries and other parts of the toy railroad into the sleeping tent, for Bunny said he wanted it near him.

The children sat up a little later than usual that night, as they always did when their father had come to the camp from the city.  Bunny talked of nothing but his railroad, planning fun for the morrow, while Sue said she was going to get some little girls, who lived in a near-by farmhouse, and have a party for her Teddy bear.

“Time to go to Slumberland now,” called Mrs. Brown, when it was nearly nine o’clock.  “Go to bed early and you’ll get up so much the earlier.”

So off to their little cots, behind the hanging curtains, went Bunny and Sue, and soon after saying their prayers they were asleep, one to dream he was a conductor on a big electric train, while the other dreamed of carrying a big, crying Teddy bear upside down through the woods with a milk pail hanging to its nose.
