But she did not finish what she was saying, for a loud barking suddenly sounded outside the barn. At this noise Bunny and Sue started on a run for the door.
CHAPTER III
SOMETHING IN A DESK
Splash, the dog, was barking loudly at something up in a tree near the barn. Bunny and Sue could not see what it was, but it was something that had caused Splash to get very much excited. He leaped up and down and ran in circles about the tree, barking loudly all the while.
"It's a cat!" exclaimed Sue.
"Can't be a cat," Bunny answered. "Splash likes all the cats around here."
"Maybe it's a strange cat," went on Sue.
"That's so," agreed Bunny Brown. "Here, Splash!" he called. "What you barking at a cat for?"
The only answer the dog made was to bark again.
