"But of course I shouldn't have dared say anything while people were
around," thought the toy. "I hope I see some of them again, for it
wasn't very polite to come away as I did."
All at once, as the auto was rolling along quite fast, it came to a
sudden stop, with a bump and a jerk.
"Hello! We're stuck!" cried the man. "I must see if I can break through
the snowdrift."
He backed the car and started ahead again, with the motor going full
speed.
Bang! the car struck the snowdrift. There was a crash of glass.
"Oh, dear!" whispered the Elephant to himself, for he went toppling,
legs over head, out through a broken window of the car. Into a deep
snowdrift stuck the poor Stuffed Elephant.

"Oh, this is terrible!" sighed the toy. "Oh, I am freezing to death!"
CHAPTER III
UP IN THE ATTIC
Banging puffing, and grinding noises sounded all about the Stuffed
Elephant. Around him swirled the white flakes of snow, but he could
hardly see them, for part of his head, part of his trunk, and one eye
were stuck in the drift.
Mr. Dunn's automobile had lurched to one side as Archie's father tried
to send it through a big, white drift.
