cried Arthur. "I'll never let you fall out of a window again!" "I should hope not!" said Mr. Rowe, as he gave his fat son the toy. "And here is twenty-five cents for you, little man," he added to the ragged boy. "Oh, thanks!" cried the barefoot lad, as he ran away down the street, the shining silver quarter held tightly in his hand. Then Arthur and his father went back to their train, the fat boy holding the Plush Bear in his arms. "Oh, you found him! I'm so glad!" said Mrs. Rowe, as her husband and son took their seats and the train started. "You must be careful after this, Arthur." "I will," promised the little boy. "And I'm going to be careful of my Rag Doll," said Nettie, as she held her plaything on her lap. There were no more accidents during the trip to the seashore, which was reached in the afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Rowe went to the hotel with their son and daughter, and of course the Plush Bear and the Rag Doll went also. "Where is this ocean you talked about?" asked the Plush Bear of the Rag Doll when they had a moment alone together. "Oh, it is outside. Did you think they kept the ocean in the hotel?" |
