Bunny Brown and his sister Sue and their trick dog

by Laura Lee Hope

Mr. Brown was delighted when told that evening after supper of how Toby and Patter had done the driving trick suggested by the poor old man in the hospital.

“Mr. Stern must know a lot about animals,” said Mrs. Brown.

“I think he does,” agreed Mr. Brown.

“Was Tanza an animal?” asked Sue.

“Who is Tanza?” asked her mother.

Then the children told her how the poor man in the hospital had spoken that name, but would not say what it meant. If Mr. Brown could guess who it was he did not say.

“When are you going to give your show?” asked Bunny’s father.

“In about a week, I guess. May we have it in our barn?”

“Yes,” was the answer.

The next day preparations for the show, in which Patter was to play a big part, began. Bunny’s chums came over every day to help build seats in the barn and do other things to make ready for the show.
