?" asked one of the rescuers. "Just going to keep them with us until we could get away." "Well, you didn't get away, and it will be some time before you do, after this," said the kind-faced man. "You gypsies will all go to jail." Bunny and Sue got out of the wagon and looked about them. They were on the edge of a little village, and quite a crowd had gathered. There were a number of gypsy wagons, and the dark-faced men, women and children, who had been in them, seemed to be in charge of the village police. "Oh, there's Toby!" cried Bunny, as he saw the pet trick pony tied behind one of the wagons. "There's Toby, Sue!" and he rushed up to the Shetland pony and threw his arms around its neck. "And here's Splash!" cried Sue, laughing now, as a dog scrambled out of another wagon and fairly leaped on her and Bunny. "We got our dog and pony back!" And so they had. "Take these gypsies to the jail," said the man who had first looked in on Sue and Bunny when the locked doors were opened.

And, as the gypsy band was led away to jail, and when Bunny and Sue were leading Toby toward Mr. Roscoe's house, with Splash following, along came an automobile, in a cloud of dust, and, before it had quite stopped, out jumped Mr. Brown. "Did you get my children?" he cried. "Here we are, Daddy!" answered Bunny and Sue for themselves. "Here we are and we got back Toby and Splash!" And then a woman's voice cried: "Oh, I'm so glad!"
