However, Sue could make the
pet's eyes gleam, which she did again and again.
Nor was the Teddy bear much damaged by being dragged in the dirt, for
the roads were not muddy, and Dix had held her up out of the dust as
much as he could.
"Oh, but I'm glad to get my darling Sallie Malinda back!" cried Sue.
"Dix is a good dog," put in Bunny. "He can ride in the auto now, can't
he, Daddy? He must be tired."
"Yes, get him and Splash both in," said Mr. Brown. "I think it is going
to rain, and I want to get to the next town where we will stay
overnight."
"In a hotel?" asked Bunny.
"No; in our auto, of course."
The dogs were called in, and Dix seemed glad to rest. Then Daddy Brown
turned the big car around and once more they were on their way. It began
to rain before they reached the town of Welldon, on the edge of which
they were to stop for the night.
But the rain did not matter to those in the big moving van, which was
like a little house. They had their supper inside, sat reading or
playing games by the electric light, and listened to the rain on the
roof, for it came down more and more heavily.
"Isn't it a nice place?" said Bunny to Sue, as they went to bed.
"The bestest ever!" she cried.
