"Where can he be?" Johnnie Jones asked Mother.
She came to help him. They called the baby but heard no answer. Then they began to be worried and looked in every room. Suddenly they heard a great splash in the bath-tub. They ran into the bathroom, and there they found the baby.
Little Brother had forgotten he was playing "I Spy." He had wandered into the bath-room, and climbing on a chair dropped the soap into the tub which was full of water. Then, very soon, he dropped himself in, too! That was the splash the others had heard.
Mother and Johnnie Jones lifted him out, wet as he could be, and very much frightened.
"You dear little rascal!" exclaimed Johnnie Jones. "Didn't you know you couldn't swim?"
"It certainly is a good thing," Mother said, "that he has a big brother to take care of him."
Elizabeth with the Children
One day Elizabeth came over to spend the afternoon with Johnnie Jones, who was very glad to see her.
