ght around the corner of the street. And, having nothing more to look at, Bunny, Sue and Sadie went back to their play-tent with Toby. That evening, after Daddy Brown had been told about the call of the gypsy, he said to his children: "Have you two youngsters thought anything about earning any money for the Red Cross?" "Money for the Red Cross? What do you mean, Daddy?" asked Bunny. "Well, you know we are going to raise a lot of money here in Bellemere for the Red Cross. It's to help our soldiers, and the men and women in charge want boys and girls, as well as grown-ups, to help. And they want boys and girls to give their own money--not the pennies or dollars they might get from their fathers or mothers." "But we haven't any money, 'ceptin' what's in our savings banks," said Sue. "No, they don't want you to take that," said her father with a smile.

"No, you mustn't take that money," her father said. "Let us hear what Bunny has to say. How can you and Sue earn money with your Shetland pony?" he asked. "We can give rides," answered Bunny. "Don't you 'member once, in a park, we saw a boy giving children rides in his goat wagon, and he charged five cents a ride." "Yes, I 'member that," Sue said. "Well, that's how we can make money for the Red Cross," went on Bunny. "Lots of times the boys and girls around here ask us for rides, and once Georgie Watson said he'd give me a penny for a ride." "Did you give it to him?" asked Mrs. Brown. "Yes, I did," answered Bunny. "Did you take the penny?" Mr. Brown inquired, smiling at his little boy. "No," Bunny said.
