"Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue Keeping Store"

But he did not quite unclasp his hand,
and so he clung there. Sue was dancing up and down in her excitement.
Then into the store rushed a big dog, barking and leaping about, his
eyes fixed on that scrambling object in brown fur which had sprung to
the highest shelf.
"Mercy me! What's that?" cried Mrs. Golden.
"It's Wango, Mr. Winkler's monkey," Sue answered.
And that is what it was.
Wango had got loose--nothing new for him--and had wandered out into
the street. There a strange dog, catching sight of the animal, had
chased him. Bunny and Sue knew it was a strange dog, for their own dog,
Splash, and most other dogs in the neighborhood, were used to Wango and
liked him. They seldom ran after him or barked at him. But this was a
strange dog.

"Go on out of here!" Sue ordered this dog. The animal stood looking from
her to Wango on the high shelf, barking loudly now and then. "Go on out
and let Wango alone!" Sue ordered.
