orral. So they just walked through the fence, where the bars were down, and went out, the one dragging Margy with it. It's a good thing you made the Indian carriage so good and strong, Russ, or she might have been hurt. After this don't leave ponies alone in a field with the bars down." The boys promised they wouldn't. Margy was lifted out, the poles were taken off Russ's pony and the children went back to the ranch house. Of course, Mrs. Bunker had to caution Russ and Laddie to be a little more careful when she heard the tale. The six little Bunkers had lots of fun at Uncle Fred's. Each day there was something new to see or do, and as the weather became warmer they were outdoors from morning until night. One day Margy and Mun Bun went off by themselves with the pails and shovels they had played with at the beach when they visited Cousin Tom. "Don't go too far," called their mother after them. "Don't go out of sight of the house." "We won't," they promised. "I just goin' to make mud pies down by the pond," said Mun Bun.

"Is he hurt?" asked Mrs. Bunker, as she laid aside her sewing and got ready to follow Margy to the creek. "No. He's only just stuck in the middle of his big pie, and he can't get out. And he's all mud and he looks awful funny." "I should think he would!" exclaimed the mother of the six little Bunkers. "Hurry along, Margy, and show me where he is." "What's the matter now?" asked Daddy Bunker, who came along just then, in time to hear what his wife said. "What has happened to Mun Bun now?" "He is stuck in a mud pie, so Margy says," answered Mrs. Bunker. "Perhaps you had better come with me and see what it's all about." Together Mr. and Mrs. Bunker hurried after Margy.
