Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue in the Sunny South

by Laura Lee Hope

"Bruno," suddenly called Mr. Black, "go see if my paper has come!"

With a short bark, the dog, having finished eating, ran out of the room. In a few minutes he came walking back on his hind feet with the folded evening paper in his mouth.

"Oh, look!" cried Bunny.

"He's a trick dog, isn't he?" squealed Sue.

"Well, yes, I have taught him a few tricks," the switchman answered. "I'll show you what else he can do. Bruno, play soldier!" he called.

Mr. Black got a broom from a corner, and as Bruno stood upright on his hind legs the switchman put the broom over the dog's shoulder and under one paw.

BRUNO MARCHED AROUND THE ROOM.

"March!" cried Mr. Black, and while he hummed a tune Bruno marched around the room, with the broom for a gun.
