It usually delayed Reddy's work, but as he cared little for the companionship of his fellows, it enabled him, without a show of unsociability, to seclude himself in the dining-room. And this morning he was early approached by his employer. "I'm goin' to take the women folks over to Oakdale to church," said Mr.
"We found all those costumes up in the garret in the old cedar chest. We knew the story by heart, and we knew the minuet. We danced it at an entertainment in Oakdale last winter. We had a very short rehearsal this afternoon in the garret and that's all." "Anne arranged the scenes and coached David in his part of the pantomime," said Grace. "She did more than I."
I'll ask mamma, and I'm 'most sure she'll say yes, she's so good and kind." Violet did say yes at once, making one condition only that neither her mother nor grandfather should object. They did not, and every morning and afternoon Grace was ready in good season for her drive to Oakdale. The other children were glad of her company, and as by common consent always gave her the seat next to Lulu.
Gibson invited Miriam to share her apartment, thus Grace and Anne were left to themselves, and indulged in one of their old heart-to-heart talks. Breakfast the next morning was a late affair. After breakfast, the entire party went for a drive, and after a one-o'clock luncheon repaired to the station. Mrs. Gibson, James Gardiner and the Phi Sigma Tau were to take the 2.30 train for Oakdale.
They had no knowledge of the trials that their senior year was to bring them or how fully the truth of Grace's words was to be proved. The day of the picnic dawned fair and cloudless. By nine o'clock a merry party of laughing, chattering girls had gathered in front of the High School, where the two immense wagons generally used by Oakdale picnickers, each drawn by four horses, awaited them.
I've seen ever so many pictures of him and read magazine articles about him. What do you suppose he is doing in Oakdale, and at the High School of all places?" "Time will tell," said Nora. Then she suddenly clasped her hands. "O girls, I know! He's here for the try-out!" "Why of course he is," exclaimed Grace.
"What are we to do in Oakdale without you, at Christmas time, Miriam?" asked Grace mournfully. "The Eight Originals Plus Two can't celebrate unless you are with them. Somehow every year we've all managed to gather home at Christmas. Now if you go to New York to live next winter perhaps David won't be able to leave his business, and your mother will need you and "
Where did you learn to run?" "Back in Oakdale, where I was the prize tomboy of the school," laughed Grace. "Have you seen to your flowers for your freshman? I ordered pink roses for Miss Evans. Anne chose violets for Miss Taylor, didn't you, Anne?" "I ordered violets for Miss Wilton, too," said Miriam. "I tried to get snap dragons," giggled Elfreda, "but it's rather late in the season for them.
"Grace Harlowe's Junior Year at High School" and "Grace Harlowe's Senior Year at High School" told of her third and fourth years in Oakdale High School and of how completely Grace lived up to the high standard of honor she had set for herself. After their graduation from high school the four devoted chums spent a summer in Europe; then came the inevitable separation.
"She and her aunt are in Oakdale to-night. We expect them any minute now." Grace groaned inwardly. "What shall I do?" she asked herself. "I must get that money away from there to-night. To-morrow may be too late, and besides I feel sure that that dreadful man won't return to-night. This is our opportunity and we mustn't neglect it." The maid eyed her curiously.
