animal-man. Bunny shook his head. So did Sue. "Our elevator boy is named Henry," Bunny said. The animal-man laughed. "I guess there are a good many elevator boys named Henry, in New York," he said. "I'll just tell the police that I have two lost children here. They'll come and get you, and take you home. Maybe your aunt and mother have already been at the police station looking for you." It took only a little while for the kind man to telephone to the same police station where Aunt Lu and Mother Brown had been. Of course they were not there then. But soon a kind policeman came and took Bunny and Sue to the police station, leading them by the hand. Bunny and Sue thought it was fun, and persons in the street smiled at the sight.

"But when we get back home, where Henry, the elevator boy, can't see 'em, Sue and I is going to have a monkey and a parrot." CHAPTER XIX BUNNY FLIES A KITE Mother Brown and Aunt Lu laughed when Bunny said this. Bunny's and Sue's mother and aunt were glad to have the children safely with them again. They were soon at Aunt Lu's home. "Whatever made you two children go into that animal store?" asked Mrs. Brown.
