ren might have gone on talking in this unpleasant way for some
time, only, just then, up the side drive came Mr. Gordon's grocery
wagon, with Tommie Tobin, the grocery boy, on the seat driving the
horse.

"Oh, he's got things in for us!" cried Sue. "Let's go an' see what they
is, Bunny. Maybe it's cookies, and we can have one. I'm hungry, and it
isn't near dinner time yet. It's only cookie time."

The two children went over to the grocery wagon. Tommie Tobin jumped off
the seat, and hurried into the Brown kitchen with a basket of things. He
did not see Bunny and Sue, as they were on the other side of the wagon.

Just then Bunny had an idea. He often got ideas in his queer little
head.

"Oh, Sue!" he cried. "I know what let's do!"

"What?" she asked.

"Let's get in the grocery wagon, and have a ride."

"Oh, Bunny! All right. Let's!"

Softly the children drew nearer the wagon. Then Sue thought of
something.

"But, Bunny," she said, "Tommie won't like it. Maybe he won't let us
ride."

"Oh, he'll like it all right," said Bunny. "He gave Charlie Star a ride
the other day. Anyhow he won't know it."

"Who won't know it; Charlie?"

"Oh, I'll help you. Here, we can stand on this box, and then we can easy
get up."

Bunny found a box beside the drive-way. He put it up near the back of
the grocery wagon, and stood up on it. Then he helped Sue up on the
box.

"Now you can get in," said the little boy. "I'll boost you, just like
Bunker Blue boosts me when I climb trees. Up you go, Sue!"

Bunny raised Sue up from the box. She put one leg over the tail-board of
the wagon, and down inside she tumbled in the midst of the grocery
packages, the boxes and baskets.

"Here I come!" cried Bunny, and in he came tumbling. He fell between Sue
and a bag of potatoes. Just then the children heard a joyous whistle.

"Now keep still--keep very still," whispered Bunny to Sue. "Here comes
Tommie, and if he doesn't see us he'll drive off and give us a nice
ride. Keep still, Sue."

Sue kept very still. So did Bunny. Tommie came out whistling. He tossed
the empty basket into the back of the wagon, gave one jump up on to the
seat, and cried:

"Giddap!"

Off trotted the horse with the wagon, taking Sue and Bunny for a ride,
along with the g
