r bath robes and slippers, came softly into the little canvas house. Splash seemed to say: "Hush! Don't wake up the children! They're sound asleep!" And Bunny and Sue were sound asleep. Mr. and Mrs. Brown looked at one another, smiled, and then daddy picked up Bunny, blankets and all, while Mrs. Brown did the same with Sue. "We'll put them right in their own beds, in the house, without waking them up," whispered Daddy Brown. "Yes," nodded Mother Brown. "What--what's matter?" sleepily murmured Bunny as he felt himself being carried into the house. But that was all he said, and he did not even open his eyes. Sue never said anything as her mother carried her. And as for Splash, once he saw that the children were being taken care of, he curled up in a corner of the tent, and went to sleep again. CHAPTER V OFF TO CAMP Bunny Brown opened his eyes, and sat up in bed. Then he blinked his eyes. Next he rubbed them. Then he looked all around the bed. Yes, there was no doubt about it, he was in his own little room, with the pictures he so well knew hanging on the walls, with his toys on the box in the corner.

"But, Sue--Sue," Bunny went on, "didn't we go to sleep in the tent; or did we? Did I dream it?" "I--I don't know, Bunny," answered Sue. "I 'members about being in the tent. And Splash was there, too. But I'm in my bed _now_." "So'm I, Sue. I--I wonder how we got here?" Bunny looked all around his room again, as if trying to solve the puzzle. But he could not guess what had happened. He remembered how he and Sue had gotten up in the middle of the night, and how they had crept inside the tent. Then Splash had come; and how funny it was when Sue thought their dog was a bear. Then they had all gone to sleep in the tent, and now---- Well, Bunny was certainly in his bed, and so was Sue in hers. "How--how did it happen?" asked Bunny. He heard a laugh out in the hall. Running to the door he saw his father and mother standing there. Then Bunny understood. "Oh, you carried us in from the tent when we were asleep; didn't you, Daddy?" ask
