"I will, if Mother will let me," said Mirabell. And Mother did. Soon the two children were running up and down in front of the house, Mirabell pulling her Lamb along by a string, and Arnold pretending to be an expressman with his wagon.

"No, don't throw my Lamb!" objected Mirabell. "She might fall on the sidewalk and break." "All right den I'll HAND her up out ob de hole," called the colored man, who was now in the partly filled bin under the sidewalk. "Watch out fo' her!" Mirabell and Arnold could hear him walking around on the coal under the sidewalk.

I'll put a new ribbon on you and then you may come to the party to-morrow." Madeline told her mother how the Rabbit had fallen out of the window. Then the little girl got a pretty pink ribbon, and, after tying it on his neck, she again showed her Easter present to Mirabell and Dorothy. "He looks as good as new," said Mirabell. "Yes," agreed Dorothy.

"And my Wooden Doll is going to be a Bed Cross Nurse," added Mirabell. "And if any of the Soldiers get hurt I'll give them a ride on the back of my Lamb." "Oh, sure and you'll have dandy times!" laughed Patrick. Then Arnold and Mirabell had fun playing on the porch with the Tin Soldiers, the wooden cannon, the Doll and the Lamb on Wheels.

The coal man, after opening the large, round hole in the sidewalk, climbed back on his wagon to shovel off his load. And just then Carlo, the dog belonging to Dorothy, ran barking out of the side entrance of the house where he lived. Carlo always became excited when coal was being put in the sidewalk hole. "Bow-wow! Wow!" barked Carlo. "Look out you don't fall down the hole!" cried Mirabell.

"Oh, then I'm going over and take my Lamb!" exclaimed Mirabell. "I'll let Dorothy play with her, and maybe she'll let me take her Sawdust Doll." "Come on. We'll have lots of fun," said Arnold. So the children, with their toys, went next door to the house where Dick and Dorothy lived.

As for the Clown well, there he was down in the dirt at the bottom of the hole! "I wonder what is the matter with me!" thought the gay red and yellow fellow as he came to a stop in some soft dirt. "I seem to be very unlucky!" "What does Jim mean about a Clown falling in the hole?" asked Arnold curiously. "And a Clown being in the basket with the wash?" added Mirabell.

He reached out his hand to pick up his Soldier and put him back in his pocket when, down at the other end of the toy counter, one of the clerks suddenly began spinning a humming top, which showed different colors and played a little tune as it whirled around. "Oh, I want to see that!" cried Arnold. "So do I!" echoed Mirabell. "Perhaps that would be an Easter toy for Madeline," thought Mother.

You know what the rule is in Make-Believe Toyland none of the things dare move when human eyes look at them. And the three little girls were surely looking at the Candy Rabbit now, as he bobbed about in the bathtub. "Oh, look what happened!" cried Dorothy, pointing to the toy. "Your Candy Rabbit is in the bathtub!" screamed Mirabell. "Yes, and I'm going to get him out!" exclaimed Madeline.

My poor Lamb!" cried Mirabell. "Look out!" shouted Arnold. "Don't go too close!" "Why not?" asked his sister. "I have to get my Lamb on Wheels away from the fire!" "No, you mustn't!" Arnold said. "Your dress might catch on fire!" The piece of paper was burning on the wide brick hearth of the fireplace, and not on the carpet, and the Lamb was close to the piece of paper that was on fire.
