And next morning, when they climbed into the carriage which was to take them to the station, Winkie Baby—yellow jacket, blue shoes, roses, violets and all—stood on the steps beside Mrs. Cann and grunted a cheerful farewell.

"We've had such a good, good time!" said Cheery, leaning out of the carriage for a last look around.

"Yes," said Uncle Rob, from the horses' heads; "Some one has said 'If you want to have a good time,—bring a good time with you;' and you two certainly brought yours along this trip, and some to spare for the rest of us."

"We surely did," said Cheery, happily; "and we're going to bring it with us again next year, aren't we, Chum?"

And The Chum, holding the mouse-cage tightly in his arms, nodded his head approvingly and echoed: "Surely, surely!" and away rattled the carriage down the hill.
