to-morrow."

Then, as if satisfied that he had done his duty, Dix went off to hunt
for a bone he had buried after his supper, and Splash went with him.

"Well, what in the world are we going to do with it?" asked Mrs. Brown.
"We can't keep this cow; that's sure!"

"We might tie her to one of the auto wheels," said Mr. Brown.

"No, thank you!" exclaimed his wife. "She'd moo all night, and keep us
awake."

"But we can't turn her loose," said Mr. Brown. "She might wander off
and be stolen, and then the owner would blame us, though it might not be
our fault. Since Dix has brought the cow to us, no matter whether we
wanted her or not, we've got to look after her somehow."

"Couldn't Dix take her back?" asked Bunny, from where he stood in the
doorway with Sue.

"That's perhaps a good idea," replied Mr. Brown. "Though I don't know
that Dix could exactly take her back. I think I'd better do it myself.
It's early yet, and probably the farmer who owns the cow is out looking
for her. I'll let Splash lead the cow back along the road, and I'll go
with him. We may meet the farmer."

"Well, don't be gone too long," begged Mrs. Brown. "The first day is
always hard and we want to get to bed early."
