ones for Zip were smaller. The hired man
was as good as his word in the matter of a harness, and soon everything
was in readiness for the first ride.
"The only thing I'm afraid of," said Mother Bunker, "is that Zip won't let
himself be harnessed. He may not like it."
But the big dog did not seem to mind in the least. He came when Russ
called him, and he wagged his tail when the boys showed him the soap-box
cart and the harness.
"Now we're going to have some fun when you give us a ride!" said Russ,
patting Zip's shaggy head.
"Bow-wow!" barked the dog, as much as to say:
"That's right! We'll have fun!"
Daddy Bunker, as well as his wife and Grandma Bell, came out to see how
the first trip would turn out. Tom put the harness on Zip. The dog only

"So if you fall out of the cart you won't get hurt," his father answered
with a merry laugh.
"Oh, we won't fall out," declared Russ. "The cart is big enough for two of
us."
And the soap box was large enough for Russ, Laddie and one more little
Bunker, though two made a more comfortable load than three. Tom had nailed
in a board for a seat, and really the dog-cart, though rather roughly
made, was very nice.
"Get in now, and let's see how you go," said Daddy Bunker. He was holding
Zip by part of the harness that went around the dog's head. To this, which
was a sort of muzzle, there were fastened two pieces of real horse reins,
and by these Zip's head could be pu
