OFF FOR NEW YORK
"Where is that basket of groceries for the Jones house? Where can it have gone to?" asked Tommie aloud, as he looked back into his wagon. "I'm sure I put it in, and now—"
He turned around on his seat, and stepped over into the back part of the wagon, among the boxes and baskets. He looked at them carefully, and finally he raised the horse blanket that was over Bunny and Sue.
"Why—why—what—what in the world are you doing here?" cried Tommie, much surprised to see the two children hiding there.
"We—we're having a ride," said Sue.
"Where did you get in?" asked Tommie.
"When you stopped at our house," answered Bunny. "And we've been riding with you ever since."
"Well, well!" cried Tommie. "And to think I never knew it! You riding in with me all the while, and I never knew a thing about it! Well, well!"
He laughed, and Bunny and Sue laughed also. It was quite a joke.
"You don't mind, do you, Tommie?" asked Bunny.
