"And she's gone - and Snoop is gone!" cried Flossie. "Oh! oh!"

"Is that so - did you let her take your cup, Freddie?" asked his papa.

Freddie only nodded. He could not speak.

"That fat lady was with the circus," said one of the men passengers.
"Maybe you can see her outside."

"I'll look," said Mr. Bobbsey, quickly. "That cup is too valuable to
lose. Come, children, we'll see if we can't find Snoop also, and then
we'll take a trolley car for home."

CHAPTER III
A QUEER DOG

PAPA BOBBSEY first looked for some of the circus men of whom he might
inquire about the fat lady. There was much confusion, for a circus
wreck is about as bad a kind as can happen, and for some time Mr.
Bobbsey could find no one who could tell him what he wanted to know.

Meanwhile Mrs. Bobbsey kept the four children and Dinah with her,
surrounding their little pile of baggage off to one side of The tracks.

Some of the big torches were still burning, and the full moon was coming
up, so that there was plenty of light, even if it was night.

"Oh, but if we could only find Snoop!" cried Freddie. "Here, Snoop!
Snoop!" he called.
