Bunny ran out of the yard and into the street, following the dog. Sue followed her brother. The four other children, being on the seesaw, could not move so quickly, and by the time they did get off the board, taking turns carefully, so no one would get bounced, Bunny Brown and his sister Sue were out of sight, down the street and around a corner, chasing after the dog that had snatched up their mother's pocketbook. "We've got to get him!" cried Bunny, looking back at his sister. "Come on!"

ig yellow dog bounced into the yard from the street. It leaped the fence and stood for a moment looking at the children. "Oh, what a dandy dog!" cried Charlie. "Is that your dog, Splash, come back?" asked Harry, for Bunny and his sister had once owned a dog of that name. Splash had run away or been stolen in the winter and had never come back. "No, that isn't Splash," said Bunny. "He's a nice dog, though. Here, boy!" he called. The dog, that had come to a stop, turned suddenly on hearing himself spoken to. He gave one bound over toward the bench, and a moment later caught in his mouth the leather handle of Mrs. Brown's black pocketbook and darted away. Over the fence he jumped, out into the street, so quickly that the children could hardly follow him with their eyes. But it was only an instant that Bunny Brown remained still, watching the dog. Then he gave a cry: "Oh, Sue! The dog has mother's pocketbook and the money! Come on! We've got to get it away from him!" "Oh, yes!" echoed Sue.
