ILLUSTRATIONS

They went running off, Button with a big lamb chop between his teeth and Stubby with a huge steak, while Billy contented himself with a head of lettuce.

Billy saw the man raise the mop to come after him.

Billy overtook her and gave her a gentle butt that landed her in the middle of the bed.

It was Stubby's and Button's frantic efforts to escape that had caused all the fun and laughter.

"Aren't you ashamed of yourself to take the baby's bottle away from it!" reproved Nannie.

"Oh, oh! Where did you come from?" wailed one little girl when the kids jumped out of the shrubbery and grabbed her bag of popcorn.
