can teach him other tricks."

"Oh, yes! That's what I'm going to do!" cried Bunny. "And then we can
take him to the circus!"

"No!" cried Sue. "You can't take my pony to the circus! I own half of
Toby, don't I, Mother?"

"Well, yes, I suppose so. But I don't believe Bunny would really take
him to any circus."

"Oh, no, I only meant a make-believe circus, like we played once
before," said the little boy.

"Oh, yes, we can do that," agreed Sue.

Mr. Tallman told Bunny and Sue some other simple tricks they might teach
Toby to do, and then he said good-bye to the pony and started back home.

"And we hope you'll find your red-and-yellow box," said Sue, as she
waved her hand.

"So do I," added the man who had been robbed, so that he was made poor
and had to sell Toby. "I hope so, too!"

"Every time we go out riding in our pony cart we'll look for your box,"
promised Bunny, and Mr. Tallman said that was very kind of them.

After the visitor had gone Bunny and Sue wanted to hitch Toby up again,
and drive down to their father's dock to tell him about the new trick
the pony could do. But Mrs. Brown said it would be better to let the
pony rest awhile and tell Mr. Brown about him when he came home in the
evening.

This Bunny and Sue did, and they took their father out to the barn and
showed him how Toby could take the measure out from under the bushel
basket, and drop it in the oat box.

"And maybe you can make him stand on his hind legs," added Bunny.

"I'll try," said Mr. Brown. And he did. And, surely enough, when the
broomstick was held crosswise in front of him, up rose Toby on his hind
legs, just as when Mr. Tallman had told him to.

It was about a week after this, and Bunny and Sue had learned to drive
Toby quite well, that their mother called to them:

"Children, will you go to the store for me in your pony cart? I need
some sugar for a cake."

"We'll get it, Mother!" answered Bunny, and he and Sue hurried out to
the barn. With the help of the hired girl they hitched Toby to the
cart, and soon they were driving down the street to the store, Splash,
their dog, who was called that because he had once splashed into the
water after Sue, who had fallen in, and pulled her out--But there! you
can read all about that in the first volume of this series. So to go on:
Splash went with them, now running on ahead and again lagging behind,
barking and wagging his tail.

Bunny and Sue went in the store together to g
