However, the day came to an end at last, and then, talking and laughing,
the boys and girls ran out of doors. Charlie stayed after the others,
and walked shyly up to the desk at which Miss Bradley sat, looking over
some examination papers. The room was very still and quiet after the
noise and excitement of the children's outgoing.
"Yes, Charlie. What is it?" asked Miss Bradley, as she saw him standing
near her desk.
"If you please--my auto----"
"Oh, yes," and she opened her desk and handed it to him. "It is a cute
little toy," and she smiled at Charlie.
"You ought to see it go!" he exclaimed eagerly, for Miss Bradley was
really a friend to her pupils, and she knew how to make kites and spin
tops almost as good as a boy.
"Here! I'll show you!" Charlie went on. "It's a dandy!"
Quickly he wound up the auto and set it down on the floor. The wheels
buzzed and the little red car spun across the schoolroom floor.
Bunny Brown and George Watson, waiting outside for Charlie, wondered
what was keeping their chum.
