"Oh, Bunny!" exclaimed his sister, "what'll we do?"
Bunny did not know just what to answer.
"Mew!" cried the little kitten, somewhere in the dark car. In fact, it was so dark that neither Bunny nor Sue could see the other, and they could not tell where pussy was.
There came another bang and rattle, a loud noise, and then Bunny Brown and his sister Sue felt the car rolling away. A locomotive was pulling it, giving the children a strange ride.
CHAPTER XIII
NUTTY, THE TRAMP
Bunny and Sue were so surprised when they found that they were being hauled away in the closed and dark freight car that for a time after their first startled cries they said nothing. They remained standing hand in hand in the middle of the dark, empty space, swaying to and fro as the train bumped over the uneven rails.
"Oh, Bunny!" gasped Sue in a little whisper, "where do you s'pose we're going?"
"I don't know," he answered. "But it's somewhere. We're having a ride, anyhow."
