"My nice Teddy bear one," added Sue.
"He's gone off to find a bee's nest to get honey," went on Bunny.
"My bear ain't a 'he'--she's a 'she,'" declared Sue. "And her name is
Sallie Malinda."
"Well, no matter what her name is, she is lost," said Bunny. "We're
going to find her."
"Look here, children!" called Mr. Brown, who was now awake. "Don't go
off on any wild goose chase."
"We're not after wild geese. We're going after Sue's bear," replied
Bunny.
"What! Is Sue's bear taken, too?" cried Mr. Brown.
"She's either taken or else she walked away," Bunny said.
"Sue's bear wasn't the walking kind, though they did have some of that
sort," said the children's father. "But if your bear is gone, some one
must have taken it just as they did Bunny's train of cars. I must look
into this. You children stay right where you are until I get dressed and
we'll make a search. Meanwhile look around the tent and see if you can't
find Sallie Jane."
"Her name is Sallie _Malinda_," said Sue, with some indignation.
"Well, take a look around for Sallie Malinda Teddy Bear Brown while I'm
getting dressed," said her father.
