"It wasn't an Indian fever," protested Bunny.
"Well, I mean a make-believe Indian fever," said the little girl.
"No, it was a make-believe arrow fever," said Bunny. "I got shot with an Indian arrow you know."
"Oh yes," Sue answered. "But, anyhow, you're all well now. Oh, look out, Splash!" she cried as the big dog ran into a puddle of water and splashed it so that some got on Sue's dress. That is how Splash got his name—from splashing into so many puddles.
But this time the water was from a clean brook that ran over green, mossy stones, and it did Sue's dress no harm, for she had on one that Mrs. Brown had made purposely for wearing in the woods.
"Here we are, Momsie!" called Sue, as she and Bunny came running up to the camp where the tents were.
"What's the surprise?" asked Bunny.
Just then they heard the Honk! Honk! of an automobile, and as a car came on through the woods and up to the white tents, Bunny and Sue cried together:
"Oh, it's daddy! Daddy has come home!"
"Yes, and he's brought us something!" added Bunny. "Look at the two big bundles, Sue!"
