"Come on in, Bunny Brown!"
Thus called Helen, Sue and the others who were playing the game of hide-and-go-to-seek. For Bunny had not been found, and he had not run up to touch "home," and be "in free."
Helen had not been able to find the little fellow, so well was he hidden.
"I can't think where he is," she said. "I looked all over."
"But you didn't find ME!" cried Sue, clapping her hands in fun.
"No, you were so close to me, back of the lilac bush, that I never thought of looking there," said Helen. Sue had run "in free," as soon as Helen's back was turned.
"But where is Bunny?" everyone asked.
"Come on in!" they called.
But Bunny did not come.
"Let's all look for him," suggested Charlie Star. "Maybe he went away off down the street, or maybe he is out in the barn."
