"And it's funny I never saw you," replied Freddie. "Say, come and play with me, will you?" "Sure I will! Well have lots of fun. I've got a train of cars."

Flossie and Freddie were playing out in the yard, but when they saw Nan in the kitchen, in they came, running.

To think of that!" "Here comes daddy now!" cried Flossie, pointing to a figure walking over the snow toward them. "Oh, Daddy, I saw the train wreck!" yelled Freddie.
