But that was all the trouble he could think of just then.
"Never mind," said Sue, helping him to stand up, and brushing the dirt from his clothes. "You're not hurt very much, John, and you're not hungry; are you?"

"Oh, there are the tramps again!" shouted John.
But it was not. It was only Bunker Blue, who had come to find Bunny Brown and his sister Sue.
"Well, how are you all?" Bunker asked. "Why, what's the matter?" he went on, for he saw that something had happened.
"It was two bad tramps, with red handkerchiefs on their necks," said Bunny Brown.
