"Yes, you have some muscle," he said. "Well, maybe you will be all

Bunker and have him look after you."

The strange boy, who said his name was Ben Hall, went up stairs with
Bunker Blue to go to bed. Bunny and Sue were also taken off to their
little beds.

"Well, what do you think of the new boy?" Bunny heard his father ask of
Grandpa Brown, just before the lights were put out for the night.

"Well, I think there's something queer about him," Grandpa Brown said.
"I'd like to know where he was working before he came here. But I'll ask
him again to-morrow. He seems like a nice, clean boy. But he certainly
is queer!"

stairs in their bath robes. Out into the kitchen they hurried, where
they could hear their grandmother singing.

"Where is he?" asked Bunny, eagerly.
