not like to see his little sister sad.

"Well, the only thing I can see to do is to turn the automobile around
and go back to look for Sue's Teddy bear," said Mr. Brown. "He may be
lying beside the road where he fell from the auto."

"My Teddy bear isn't a _he_, Daddy!" cried Sue. "She's a _she_! Aren't
there _lady_ Teddy bears as well as _gentlemen_?"

"Yes, I suppose so," laughed Mr. Brown. "I forgot for the moment that
your Teddy's name was Sallie. But whether it's a he or a she I suppose
you'd like to have me go back for it, wouldn't you?"

"Indeed I would, Daddy! I don't know what I'd do without Sallie
Malinda."

"All right, then we'll turn the auto around."

"We've done about as much going backward as we have going forward on
this trip," laughed Uncle Tad. "But still we must get Sue's pet. It
wouldn't do to go off and leave _her_."

"I can't understand about Dix, though," said Mrs. Brown. "Surely he
wouldn't run away and leave us after he had come this far with us."

"Maybe he is just playing hide-and-go-seek with Splash," said Bunny.
"Maybe it's Dix's turn to hide."

"Suppose you call him," suggested Mrs. Brown.
