"But his cow was bigger than my Teddy bear, and made bigger tracks."

"That doesn't matter. I've been talking to the Indians about trailing
animals this way, and you can trail a squirrel as easily as an elephant
if you only know how to look for the feet marks. See, Sue!" and Bunny
pointed to marks in the soft earth. "Aren't those the prints of your
Teddy bear's feet?"

Sue looked to where Bunny pointed. There were marks plainly enough, but
in a minute Sue knew what they were.

"Why, that's where Splash, our dog, walked," said the little girl.

"Oh, so it is," agreed Bunny. "Well, I made a mistake that time. We'll
try again."

So the children went on, seeking for marks of the toy bear's paws, until
Mr. Brown came out.

"It's of no use to look that way, children," he said. "If Sue's bear is
missing some one took it away--it never walked, for it couldn't."

"That's what I said!" cried Sue.

"But how did it get away?" asked Bunny.

"Somebody must have taken it. The same one who took your train of cars.
We must look farther off than just around the tent."

"Say, Daddy, do you s'pose some of the Indians could have done it?"
