'What is your name? and where do you live? But as I lifted him up he uttered a sharp cry. 'My foots is hurted; I tumbled down, and I've losted my boot.

'I went to my play-tent, he sobbed, 'and putted my hand underneath the curtain and gave Polly a piece of my supper cake I saved for her- -not the frosted part, but the burnt part I couldn't eat and she liked it and kissed my hand and then I fought she was lonesome, and would like to see my littlest frog, and I told her to put out her hand again for a s'prise, and I squeezed him into it tight, so 't he wouldn't jump and she fought it was more cake, and when she found it wasn't she frew my littlest frog clear away, and it got losted!
The crying increased, and then they all saw a little girl sitting on a stone under a tree, sobbing as if her heart would break. Betty hurried up to the tot. "What is the matter?" she asked, pillowing the tousled yellow head on her arm. "I I'se losted!" sobbed the little girl "P'ease take me home! I'se losted!" "What are we to do?" asked Amy, in dismay.
"But it it's dark," she went on. "All caves are dark," Bunny Brown answered. "They have to be dark or they wouldn't be caves. Nobody ever saw a light cave." "Well, I like a light cave best," said Sue. "How long has we got to stay here, Bunny?" "Till Daddy comes for us, I guess," he said. "We can't walk back to camp all alone. I don't know the way. We'd get losted worse than we are now."

"We'll find him," said Uncle Daniel. "Now whom was he with when we came out of the tent?" "He had hold of my hand," said Bert, "but he pulled away and said he wanted to walk with Dinah."
When Lovey Mary stumbled over the Hazy threshold with the sleeping Tommy and the duck in her arms, Miss Hazy fluttered about in dismay. She pushed the flour-sifter farther over on the bed and made a place for Tommy, then she got a chair for the exhausted girl and hovered about her with little chirps of consternation. "Dear sakes! You're done tuckered out, ain't you? You an' the baby got losted?

'We had an offul funny time 'bout my gittin' losted, didn't we, mamma? chuckled he, with his gurgling little laugh.
Mike looked all about for some evidence of the children or elders, but not a sign or sound was to be heard except the strange cracklings of forest silences.

Did oo know I is losted affer oo?" said she, rubbing her eyes with her mittened hands.
Freddie's lost!" cried Flossie, bursting into tears. "Hush, Flossie, don't cry, dear!" begged Nan, putting her arms around her little sister. "But but I I can't help it," stammered Flossie.
