He looked over to the main shore, where he could just see the white tents of Camp Rest-a-While. "Well, if we don't come back pretty soon, Mr. Brown will know something is wrong, and he'll get another boat and come over here," thought Bunker. "Then I can tell him what has happened, and we can go and look for the children. I guess they'll be all right. All I can do is to wait."
Bunny and Sue were beginning to like him now. He was quite a different man from the one who had called at Camp Rest-a-While looking for Tom. Splash eagerly drank the cool water, and then he rolled in the grass to get some of the mud off his coat. Mrs. Trimble brought out some milk for Bunny and Sue, and also a plate of molasses cookies, which they were very glad to have.
Brown had gone to work, that he had asked the police to do all they could to find Fred Ward. "And now we must get ready for our trip," went on Mrs. Brown. "I must get both of you some new clothes, for you wore out many suits while we were at Camp Rest-a-While and in the Big Woods." "But don't get too many. It will take too long to get 'em," remarked Bunny.
"Yes, that will be better," said the little boy. So, carrying the box, and some other things, which Sue helped him with, Bunny and his sister went a little way into the wood. "Don't go too far!" their mother called after them. "We won't!" they promised. Since coming to Camp Rest-a-While Bunny and Sue had not been lost, and they did not now want to have that trouble if they could help it.
The hermit had a good garden and he could sell things from that. Eagle Feather was given back his horse, and Mr. Bixby was not arrested for taking it. And the mystery of the electrical toys being solved, life at Camp Rest-a-While went on as before for a time. Bunny and his sister had fine times, and once in a while Tom had a day's vacation, and came over to see them.
"Well, then come to me whenever you need milk, and you can't get any at the farmhouse," went on the old man, as Bunny gave him the six pennies. "All right, sir," said Bunny. "Where do you live?" asked the ragged man. "At Camp Rest-a-While," answered Sue. "Oh, you're the children who live in the tents. I know where your place is."
Then Mother Brown even made pancakes on the oil stove, which was set up on a box at one side of the dining-tent. The day was a fine one, and there was not enough wind to make the stove smoke. So they had breakfast after all, and then began the work of making Camp Rest-a-While look as it had before the storm. A new tent pole was cut, and the tent put up again, stronger than before.
Brown heard that the bear was safely found, so there was no more need to worry about his coming into the tent at night. That day Daddy Brown, with the help of Uncle Tad and Bunker Blue printed a big cloth sign which they hung up between two trees. The sign read: CAMP REST-A-WHILE "There," said Daddy Brown, "now the postman will know where to find us when he comes with letters."
"It's got water in it and a place for a fire. All the smoke would go up that hole. We'll get Bunker and daddy and mother and Uncle Tad and come here and have a picnic some day. Don't you like it, Sue?" "I I'd rather be back at Camp Rest-a-While," said the little girl. "Can't we go?" "I'll go and see how hard it's raining," said the little boy.
"No, some of them seem to say 'Katy didn't," agreed Mr. Brown. "Of course they don't really say those words. It only sounds as if they did. Now go to sleep. In the morning I'll show you a katydid." Tom was not frightened any longer. He turned over and was soon sound asleep. Mr. Brown and Bunker also closed their eyes and the tent in Camp Rest-a-While was quiet once more.
