hurrying down the street to make friends with a little yellow dog, that once had had a tin can tied to his tail. And, also in the first book, I told you how Bunny and Sue got their dog Splash. Bunny and Sue were carried away in a boat, and landed on an island in the river. There Sue fell in, and the big dog pulled her out. As no one came for the dog the Browns kept him, and Bunny and Sue named him "Splash," because, as Sue said, "he splashed into the water to pull me out." On ran the hand-organ man after his monkey, and on ran Bunny Brown and his sister Sue after the hand-organ man. But Wango had to stay behind. He made so much noise, though, with his chattering and screaming, to say nothing of rattling the chain, that Miss Winkler came running out. She was making a cake, and her hands were all covered with flour, while there was a white spot on the end of her nose. "Oh, what is the matter? What is the matter?" she cried. "The hand-organ man's monkey ran away because Wango scared him," said Bunny, "and we are running after him." "After Wango?" Miss Winkler wanted to know. "No!

He sat perched on a high limb, looking with his bright eyes at Bunny, Sue and the man. Several boys and girls, as well as some men, came over to see what was going on. "I'll climb the tree and get him," offered George Watson. "Better not. Monkeys can bite and scratch," said Mr. Gordon, who kept the grocery store. "What happened to him, Bunny?" Bunny told him how Wango had frightened the organ monkey. "Maybe if you play, Mr. Italian man, he'll come down!" exclaimed Sue, after a bit. "Ha! That's a good idea!" said Mr. Reinberg, who sold drygoods in Bellemere. "Go get your hand organ, Mr. Italian." "Sure. Me maka de nicea de music!" agreed the man. "Maybe Jacko comea down den!" Off he ran to get his organ, which he had left on the grass in front of Miss Winkler's house. But, even when the organ was played, the monkey up in the tree w
