All were soon in the auto again, and as they started off, with more
"good-byes" and "good lucks," Bunny and Sue made sure that this time
Splash followed.

"Now he's started he won't turn back," said Mr. Brown. "He just missed
us before, thinking, I suppose, if he saw us go, that we would come
back."

The big automobile traveled on for about an hour, and they were several
miles from the Brown home when Bunny, looking out of the rear door of
the auto-van cried:

"Why there's Dix, Fred Ward's dog, following us along with Splash!
Look!"

"So he is," said Mrs. Brown. "Oh, dear! These dogs! What are we going to
do?"




CHAPTER VII

DIX IN TROUBLE


"Is Dix really following us?" asked Mr. Brown, as, once more, he stopped
the big automobile.
