"Put 'em on the back of your Lamb and make believe it's an
ambulance," said Arnold, and Mirabell did this.

So the two children continued to play together with Arnold's new
soldier toys. And then, just as the last bang-bang gun was fired,
Susan, the jolly, good-natured cook, called:

"Come, children! I have a little pie I baked especially for you two.
It is just out of the oven! Come and get some while it is hot!"

And you may well believe that Mirabell and Arnold did not wait--they
ran at once, leaving their toys on the porch.

"Well, now we have a chance to rest," said the Bold Tin Soldier
Captain to his men. "Whew! that battle was surely as lively as the
one we had in the store the other night."

"I should say so!" agreed the Sergeant. "The bayonet on my gun is
bent."

"Well, that shows you have been to war," said the Captain. "And now
we must thank the Red Cross Doll and the Lamb on Wheels for what
they did for us during the make-believe fight."

"Oh, I didn't do much," cried the Wooden Doll, with a laugh. "None
of you was really hurt, you know."

"That is true," agreed the Captain. "But if we had really been
wounded you would have helped us, I am sure."
