"Yes. But I came back to get the fire extinguishers that we carry on the
auto. This blaze hasn't much of a start yet, and we may be able to put
it out with our extinguishers."

Uncle Tad darted into the automobile. Sue and Bunny remembered about the
extinguishers now. They were red things, like fire crackers, and hung
near the seat behind the steering wheel.

Once, to show Bunny and Sue how easily the extinguishers put out a fire,
Mr. Brown had started one in the back yard. Then, from the red thing, he
had squirted a liquid and the fire sizzled and went out.

"Oh, we want to see daddy put out the fire!" cried Bunny.

"The children are teasing to go," said Mrs. Brown, as Uncle Tad came out
again with an extinguisher under each arm. "Do you suppose it would do
them any harm?"

"Not at all!" cried Uncle Tad. "But you come with them. I don't believe
the fire will be a very big one, but a lot of the country people are
running to it. Bring the children along. Daddy Brown won't care."

"Whoop!" cried Bunny. "That's great!"

"I wouldn't whoop," observed Sue, shaking her finger at her brother.

"Why not?" he asked.

"Because this isn't a bonfire. Somebody's shed is burning up; and though
it looks nice it isn't any fun for them. We ought to be sorry."
