a cent," explained Russ, as he took one coin and Rose the other. "Thank
you," he went on. "We'll get something, and give Mun Bun and Margy a
bit."

"And Violet and Laddie, too," added Rose.

Russ looked at the five-cent piece in his hand as if wondering if it
would stretch that far.

"Send the other children to me, and I'll give them each five cents,"
said Grandpa Ford with a laugh.

"Then we can all go to the store!" said Rose, clapping her hands. "They
have lovely five-cent grab-bags down at Henderson's store."

"Well, don't eat too much trash," said Mrs. Bunker. Then, turning to
Grandpa Ford, she said: "Now we can go back in the house and you can
finish what you were telling us when Russ fell out of the hammock."

"I didn't zactly fall _out_ of it," the little boy explained. "I wasn't
in it. I was climbing up on one side, and I--I----"

"Well, you fell, anyhow," said his father. "Please don't do it again.
Now we'll go in, Father."

Russ and Rose were left standing on the porch, each holding a five-cent
piece. Russ looked at Rose, and Rose looked at Russ.

"We didn't hear what the ghost was at Great Hedge," said the little
girl.
