Bunny Brown and his sister Sue and their trick dog

by Laura Lee Hope

“But,” said Bunny, “maybe we’ll see him again when Mr. Stern gives his show here.”

“And,” added Sue, “we have to be good an’ make sackkelfices, like we learned in Sunday school.”

“Sackkelfices!” cried Bunny. “That’s what they do in baseball!”

“’Tis not!” exclaimed Sue. “A sackkelfice is what makes you feel good inside when you don’t want to do it.”

And perhaps that is what a sacrifice might be called.

At any rate, Mr. Stern took Patter away, though I must admit that the parting with Bunny and Sue was a tearful one. But then the children had other pets to console them. And Mr. Stern was able to earn his living by showing off Patter and his tricks.

And so we have come to the end of the story of the children and their trick dog, which came to them so strangely, was lost, found, and gone from them again. But this is not the end of the adventures of Bunny Brown and his sister Sue, for they have many others in store.

THE END

This Isn’t All!
