“Then,” continued his father, “if Patter could jump that far, why couldn’t he jump out of the window?”
“But the window isn’t open very wide,” objected Bunny. “It’s open only a crack, and if Patter tried to jump up and go through the crack he’d bump his head.”
“He would unless some one held the window open from the outside so he could jump through and out,” said Mr. Brown.
“Oh! Do you think somebody took our nice dog, Daddy?” asked Sue, with anxious eyes fixed on her father.
“Some one might have done so,” he answered.
“Who did?” demanded Bunny Brown and his sister Sue.
“That’s what we have to find out,” said Mr. Brown. “Come in now and eat your breakfast Then I’ll help you look for Patter.”
“Is their dog really gone?” asked Mrs. Brown, as the three entered the house.
“It seems so,” admitted Mr. Brown. “But I guess we’ll get him back.”
“In time for the show?” Bunny wanted to know.
