rackers or
oatmeal or something like that."
"Oh, she hasn't got it right!" said Russ, with a laugh at his sister. "The
riddle is, 'When is a barrel hungry?' and Laddie says Jerry told him it
was when the barrel takes a roll before breakfast."
"Oh, I see!" laughed Mr. Bunker. "Well, that's pretty good. Now I have a
riddle for you. 'How many lollypops can you buy for two pennies?'" and he
stopped in front of a little store with the two children--one on each side
of him.
Russ looked at Rose and Rose looked at Russ. Then they smiled and looked

Bunker children and nodded and smiled at them.
"Where's that old coat of mine I sometimes wear?" asked Mr. Bunker of one
of his clerks, when the office door had been opened but no garment was
found hanging behind it.
"Do you mean that ragged one?" asked the clerk, whose name, by the way,
was Donlin--Mr. Donlin.
"That's the one I mean," said Mr. Bunker. "I stuck some real estate pap
