money for the Red Cross."

"Do you mean a make-believe show, and charge five pins to come in?"
asked Harry Bentley.

"No, I mean a real show, like in a theater, and charge real money,"
went on Bunny. "Pins aren't any good for the Red Cross. They get all the
pins they want. They need money--my mother said so. Now we could get up
a regular acting play--like that one we saw at the Opera House. We could
have some singing in it, and some jiggling and some of us could do
tricks and stand on our heads."

"Going to have any animals in it?" one boy wanted to know.

"Yes, we could," answered Bunny. "They have animals on the stage just
like in a circus, only it's different, of course. We could have our dog
and cat in it."

"I've got a goat!" cried another boy. "He butts you with his horns, only
maybe I could cure him of that."

"We could use Toby, our Shetland pony," added Sue. "He eats sugar out of
my hand."

"And we could have my trained white mice," said Charlie Star.

"If you have mice in it I'm not going to play!" exclaimed Sadie West. "I
don't like mice at all!"

"Neither do I!" added Jennie Harris.
