eedles and the shorter ones from the spruces and the hemlocks. Here and there the sun shone down through the thick branches, but not too much. It was like being in a green bower. On and on wandered Bunny and Sue, thinking what a nice place it was. They found pine cones and odd stones, with, here and there, a bright flower. All of a sudden Sue looked around. "Bunny, it's getting dark," she said. "I can't see the sun any more. I guess it's night, and we'd better go back home." "I don't believe it's night," said the little boy. "I guess the trees are so thick we can't see the sun. But we can go home. I'm getting hungry, anyhow. Come on." They turned about to go back, and walked on for some time. Sue took hold of Bunny's hand. "It's getting terrible dark," she said. "Where's home, Bunny?" The little boy looked around. "I--I guess it isn't far," he said. "But it is dark, Sue. I wish I had a flashlight. Next time I'm going to bring one. But we'll soon be home." However, they were not. It rapidly grew darker, and at last Bunny Brown knew what had happened.

But the trouble was that Bunny and Sue were in among the evergreens and they thought it later than it really was. "Oh, Bunny, what are we going to do?" asked his sister after a while, during which she had held tightly to his hand and looked about. Bunny was looking around also, trying to think what was the best thing to do. He was older than his sister, and he felt that he must take care of her and not frighten her. "I--I guess we'd better walk along, Sue," said Bunny at last. "But maybe then we'll get lost more," Sue suggested. "We can't be lost any more than we are," declared Bunny. "We can't see our bungalow and we don't know where it is and--and, well, we'd better walk on." Bunny looked at his sister. He saw her lips beginning to tremble, dark as it was under the trees. And when Sue's lips quivered in that way Bunn
