“Yes,” agreed her brother.  “Thank you, Mr. Reinberg.”

The dry-goods man found a house in which there was a telephone, and he was soon talking to Mrs. Brown in her home.  He told her just what had happened; how, almost by accident, he had taken Bunny and Sue off in his automobile.  Then he asked if he might give them a longer ride, and bring them home later.

“Your mother says I may,” Mr. Reinberg said, when he came back to the automobile, in which Bunny and Sue were waiting.  “I’ll take you on to Wayville.”

“Our Uncle Henry lives there,” Bunny told the dry-goods man.

“Well, I don’t know that I shall have time to take you to see him, but we’ll have a ride.”

“We ’most went to Uncle Henry’s once,” said Sue.  “On a trolley car, only Splash couldn’t come, and we had to go back and we got lost and—­and—­”

“Splash found the way home for us,” finished Bunny, for Sue was out of breath.

“Well, we won’t get lost this time,” Mr. Reinberg said.  “Now off we go again,” and away went the automobile, giving Bunny and Sue a fine ride.

They soon reached Wayville, where Mr. Reinberg went to see some men.  Bunny and Sue did not have time to pay a visit to their Uncle Henry, but Mr. Reinberg bought them each an ice cream soda, so they had a fine time after all.  Then came a nice ride home.

“Well, well!” cried Mrs. Brown, when Bunny and Sue, their cheeks red from the wind, came running up the front walk.  “Well! well!  But you youngsters do have the funniest things happen to you!  To think of being taken away in an automobile!”

“But we didn’t mean to, Mamma,” protested Bunny.

“No, you never do,” said Aunt Lu, smiling.

“Oh, Bunny!” Sue exclaimed a little later that day, “we didn’t sell any tickets for the Punch and Judy show.”

“Well, never mind,” answered Bunny.  “I guess enough will come anyhow.”

You see he and Sue had such a good time on the automobile ride that they forgot all about the tickets they had set out to sell.

In three days more the Punch and Judy show would be held in the Brown barn.  Everything was ready for it, Bunny had gone over his part again and again until he did very well indeed.  Sue, also, was very, very good in what she did, so the other girls said.  Sadie West, who was older, helped Sue.

By this time, of course, the grown folks knew that some sort of a show was going on in the Brown barn, and they had promised to come.  And there were so many children who wanted to see what it was going to be like that Bunny and Sue did not know where they were all going to sit.

“And oh! what a lot of pins we’ll have,” said Sue, for all the children paid pins for their tickets.

But Bunker Blue and George Watson made seats by putting boards across some boxes, so no one would have to stand up.

Then came the day of the show.  Bunny was dressed up in some old clothes, and so was Sue.  She did not put hers on, though, until after she had helped take tickets, and sell them, at the barn door.  Then Bunker Blue took her place, and Sue dressed to help Bunny.
