"Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue Keeping Store"

"
"Yes," agreed his sister. "Well, maybe we can have another show. Or we
could put the alligators in a store the next time we play."
"Yes," said Bunny. "Only maybe you couldn't wrap up a 'gator in a piece
of paper. He might bite his way out."
"That's so," said Sue. "Well, we could----"
But she did not finish what she was saying, for a loud barking suddenly
sounded outside the barn. At this noise Bunny and Sue started on a run
for the door.


CHAPTER III
SOMETHING IN A DESK

Splash, the dog, was barking loudly at something up in a tree near the
barn. Bunny and Sue could not see what it was, but it was something that
had caused Splash to get very much excited. He leaped up and down and
ran in circles about the tree, barking loudly all the while.
"It's a cat!" exclaimed Sue.
"Can't be a cat," Bunny answered. "Splash likes all the cats around
here."
"Maybe it's a strange cat," went on Sue.
"That's so," agreed Bunny Brown. "Here, Splash!" he called. "What you
barking at a cat for?"
The only answer the dog made was to bark again.
