ant home read the paper, and he saw
the advertisement Mr. Dunn put in.

"There!" called the man to his wife. "Now I know where that Elephant
belongs. I'll take him back to the little boy."

"Well, he's good and dry," said his wife. "I mean the Elephant is good
and dry. He's almost as good as new." And, in fact, the Elephant was,
for she had brushed off all the mud, and the heat had dried out the
water.

Carrying the Stuffed Elephant, the man who had found the toy took it to
Archie's house.

"Oh, here he is! My Christmas Elephant! He's come back to me! Oh, how
glad I am!" cried Archie, as he clasped the cotton creature in his arms.
"Oh, how glad I am!"

"And I'm glad, too!" thought the Elephant. "I feared I would never see
Archie and Elsie again! And I'm even glad to see Nip!" for the dog came
to the door, wagging his tail.

And so, after several adventures, the Stuffed Elephant was back home
again, but many more things happened to him, though I have no room for
them in this book. The Elephant even acted again as Judge in the dispute
of the Rake, the Shovel and the Pick, but who won the prize I cannot
tell. I think each should have had a prize. Don't you?

Once again there was happiness in the Dunn house, for the lost Elephant
was back, and Elsie gave her brother a pink ribbon to tie on his toy's
neck.

"It may look pretty, but it tickles me," thought the Elephant, as Archie
pulled him about.
