BUNNY AND SUE GET LOST IN THE WOODS.
Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue at Christmas Tree Cove. Page 154
Then the children walked on together, making their way through the dark Christmas woods. They really did not know where they were going. It was some time since Bunny had glimpsed a sight of the bungalow.
All at once, as they walked along, they heard the distant bark of a dog. At once Sue stood still and pulled her brother to a stop also.
"Bunny! did you hear that?" she asked.
"Yes," he replied, "I did. It's nothing but a dog, and he's a good way off, 'cause his bark was real little."
"But, Bunny! maybe it's the dog that took mother's pocketbook and ring," Sue went on. "If it is we ought to chase him!" She was forgetting her fear of being lost now in the excitement over hearing the dog bark and in thinking he might be the one that had caused the loss of the diamond ring.
"Listen!" whispered Bunny.
He and Sue stood in the fast-darkening woods and to their ears the bark of the dog sounded fainter now.
