"Oh, yes! Get him!" begged Sue. "Oh, what made Toby walk away?"
"Maybe he got tired of waiting," said the clerk, "or perhaps something frightened him. If you can't get him I'll run after him for you as soon as I wait on Miss Winkler."
"Land sakes! what's the matter now? Has that monkey got loose again?" asked the woman who was sister to the sailor who owned the tricky monkey.
"No, it isn't your monkey that's loose—it is our pony," said Bunny, as he and Sue hurried out of the door.
They saw going slowly down the street, their Shetland pony. Toby did not appear to be in a hurry. He was just walking.
"I guess he just got tired of waiting—there didn't anything frighten him," announced Bunny.
"But we must get him," said Sue.
"Of course!" said her brother. "Come on!"
They started to run down the street, on which there were not many wagons or automobiles just then, and, as there were only a few persons on the sidewalk, Bunny and Sue could easily keep their pony and cart in sight.
But before they could reach it something queer happened. With a bark and a wag of his tail, their dog Splash came rushing along. Straight down the street he trotted, and up into the pony cart he jumped, for the back door had been left open, when Bunny and Sue got out.
