et. "I guess he saw a little ant
crawling along, just before he fell, and he sat down on him. Did you
think you'd hurt the little ant, Trouble?"

"I satted on him, but I didn't hurt him," answered the little boy. "He
can wiggle along nice--see!" and he showed the ant, crawling about on
the piece of wood. Perhaps the little ant wondered how in the world it
was ever going to get back to the ground again.

"Put him down and come on," said Ted. "We want to find something before
grandpa puts up the tent. Maybe we can find the den where the fox
lives."

Trouble carefully put the little ant back on the ground.

"I satted on him, but I didn't hurted him," again said the little
fellow, grunting as he stood up straight again. Janet took his hand and
they followed Teddy off through the forest.

It was very pleasant in the woods on Star Island. The sun was shining
brightly and the waters of the lake sparkled in the sun. The children
felt glad and happy that they had come camping with their grandpa, and
they knew that the best fun was yet to happen.

"Let's look around for holes now," said Teddy, after they had gone a
little way down a woodland path.

"What sort of holes?" asked Janet.

"Holes where a fox lives," answered her brother. "If we could find a fox
maybe we could tame it."

"Wouldn't it bite?" the little girl asked.

"Well, maybe a little bit at first, but not after it got tame," said
Teddy. "Come on!"

They walked a little way farther, and then Jan suddenly cried:

"Oh, I see a hole!"

She pointed to one beneath the roots of a big tree.

"That's a fox den, I guess!" exclaimed Teddy. "We'll watch and see what
comes out."

The children hid in the bushes where they could look at the hole in the
ground. For some time they waited, and then they began to get tired. The
Curlytops were not used to keeping still.

"I'm going to sneeze!" said Trouble suddenly, and sneeze he did. And
just then a little brown animal bounced out from under a bush and ran
into the hole.

"Oh, it's a bunny rabbit!" cried Janet. "He lives in that hole! Come on,
Ted, let's walk. We've found out what it was. It isn't a fox, it's a
bunny! Let's go and find something else on the island. Maybe we can find
a big cave."

"And maybe we'll find out what that blue light was," cried Ted eagerly.

"I guess I don't want to look for that," remarked Jan slowly.

"Why not?"

"'Cause don't you 'member what Hal said about there bein' ghosts on
