Bunny Brown and his sister Sue and their trick dog

by Laura Lee Hope

“Bunny! Bunny! Where are you?”

“It’s Sue,” said her brother.

“Where are you, Bunny?” went on Sue. “Don’t you hide away from me now!” she went on. “Mother said you were out here and she said I could play with you. Where are you?”

“Up in the haymow,” answered Bunny. “You can climb up, Sue.”

When Sue saw her brother and the other boys with the dog and the trapeze, she wanted to know what it was all about, so they told her.

“Oh, it’ll be fun if Patter swings on a trapeze in the show!” cried Sue, clapping her hands.

Then the boys tried different ways of having Patter hang to and swing from the trapeze. They were so busy at this that they forgot about Bunny’s little sister. They did not think of her again until a little later that afternoon when Mrs. Brown came out to the barn and called:

“Bunny, are you there?”

“Yes’m, I’m here,” was the answer.

“Is Sue with you?”
