He waved good-bye to them as they went off again.
Bunny and Sue were eager to ask questions about the colored boy who played the banjo for the medical show.
"Do you think he could have been Fred?" asked Bunny.
"It is possible," answered his father.
"Maybe we can find him," added Sue.
"We'll make inquiries about this show in the next town we come to," said Mr. Brown.
But as the next town was the one outside of which they were to spend the night, they decided to put off until the next day asking questions about the colored banjo player.
Uncle Tad and Mr. Brown helped Mrs. Brown get the supper. When it was over there was a large platter full of good things left for the two dogs. They were hungry, for they had run far that day, and they ate up every scrap.
Then they stretched out for a while near a campfire Mr. Brown made under some trees, for it was a little cool in the evenings. As the children had been up early that morning, Mrs. Brown told them they must be early in bed, and after watching the fire until their eyes began to shut of themselves, Bunny and Sue started for their little bunks.
Just as they were getting undressed, though it was scarcely dark, the barking of dogs was heard down the road.
