Six Little Bunkers at Grandma Bell's

ned, but when she saw that her
littlest brother and sister were also afraid, Rose made up her mind that
she must be brave.

She looked at Vi, and Vi was a little frightened, too, but not as much so
as Mun Bun and Margy.

"What was it you saw, Mun?" asked Vi, even now not able to stop asking
questions. "Where was it?"

"It was a big bear, I guess," answered the little fellow.

"Pooh!" cried Rose, in a voice she tried to make sound brave. "There
aren't any bears in these woods. Grandma Bell said so."

"Well, anyhow, it was a--a _something_!" said Mun Bun. "It came up out of
the water and it made a big splash."

"It splashed water on me," said Margy.

"What did you think it was?" asked Vi.

"Maybe--maybe a--a elephant," replied the little girl. "It had a big long

"Maybe it was the elephant's trunk they saw," suggested Vi. "Do you think
it was?"

"Elephants don't live in the lake," decided Rose. Then she started down
toward the shore where Mun Bun and Margy had been paddling in their bare
feet.

In truth, she did not want to go very much. That was why she had done so
much talking before she started.

"Where are you goin'?" asked Violet.

"I'm going to see what it is!" declared Rose.

"Oh-o-o-o!" exclaimed Vi. "Maybe it'll bite you. Did it have a mouth, Mun
Bun?"

"I didn't see its mouth, but it had a flappy tail."

"I'm going to call mamma!" exclaimed Vi, "Don't you go, Rose!"

But Rose was already halfway to t
