is a good auto, Charlie."

"Yes'm, I'll take it," said the little boy, and he bought the auto.

"You can't take it to school with you," said Bunny, as he and his chum
left Mrs. Golden's store.

"Yes, I can," answered Charlie.

"If teacher sees it she'll take it away."

"Well, she won't see it. I can put it in my coat pocket." This Charlie
did, after a struggle, for the pocket was rather small and the toy auto
rather large.

"It sticks out and shows," Bunny said, after the toy had been crowded
in.

"I'll stuff my handkerchief over it," Charlie decided, and this was
done.

Then the two boys went on to school, arriving just as it was time for
recess, so they did not have to go back to their lessons right away.

"And I didn't have to spell!" laughed Bunny. "Though I did know how to
spell cracker."

"Come on!" called Charlie. "We'll have some fun with my new auto! I'll
let it run around the yard."
