"Oh, that's too bad!" exclaimed Mr. Brown. "I shouldn't have come in.
I'll----"

"No, stay, we'll want your advice," said Mrs. Brown. "Mr. Ward was just
going to read a letter his son left. I want you to listen to it and tell
us what is best to do. You know you are on the police board."

"Of course I'll do all I can," said Mr. Brown. "First let me hear the
letter. You can sometimes tell a good deal of what's in a person's mind
by the way he writes."

And while Mr. Brown is listening to the letter left by the runaway boy,
I'll tell my new readers something more about Bunny Brown and his Sister
Sue, and the things that happened to them in the books before this.

The first volume is named "Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue," and it tells
of what happened to the two children in their home town of Bellemere, on
Sandport Bay, near the ocean. There the little boy and girl had fine
times, and they took a trolley ride to a far city, getting lost.

The second book told of "Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue on Grandpa's
Farm," and you can imagine the fun they had there, getting lost in the
woods and going to picnics. After that the two children played Circus in
the book of that name, and they had real animals in their show, though
you could not exactly call them wild.

"Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue at Aunt Lu's City Home," is the name of
the fourth book, and in the big city Bunny and Sue had stranger
adventures than ever.
