"You never said a word about it this morning." "Oh, didn't I? Well, I'm going out with Here comes your car, Marjorie. You'd better hurry home, too." "Why?" Marjorie's brown eyes looked their reproach. "Do you want to get rid of me, Mary? I've oceans of time before dinner. You know we never have it until half-past six. Never mind, I'll take this car. Good-bye."

Here Marjorie's sobs broke out afresh, and she really couldn't speak coherently. "Never mind," said Mrs. Maynard, gently, fearing the excitable child would fly into hysterics. "Never mind it to-night. Tell me about it to-morrow." "N-no, I w-want to tell you now, only, I c-can't talk. Oh, Mother, what shall I d-do? G-Gladys " "Yes, dear; Gladys, what did she do? Or perhaps you and Gladys " Mrs.

"Here she is!" exclaimed Vera, as she approached. "Aha! Now I know why you left us all of a sudden!" She smiled winningly at Marjorie's companion, who allowed the barest flicker of a smile to touch her slightly pouting lips. "Girls, I would like you to meet Miss " Marjorie stopped, her color rising. The stranger had not volunteered her name at the time when Marjorie had introduced herself.

"I don't know that I can; girls are mysteries you were a mystery once yourself. Marjorie can respond, but she will not respond, unless she has some one to respond to, or some thing to respond to. Towards myself I never find but one Marjorie!" "That means that you always give her something to respond to!" "Well, yes, something like it," he returned in one of Marjorie's contented tones.

Instead, she and Francis retired to the back room, leaving Marjorie and the others to amuse each other, and talk for what seemed to Marjorie's strained nerves an eternity of time. It was Francis who had called Lucille, moreover, and not Lucille who had summoned Francis, as could have been expected. Finally the other men rose to go. Francis came out of the inner room and went with them.

Leonard's voice sounded frightened and muffled, not a bit like himself, but he heard Marjorie's voice just as plain as anything "Till death us do part." Presently the choir began to sing, and his mother found the place in the hymn-book. Herbert couldn't read, but he knew the hymn. Each verse ended, "Rejoice, rejoice, Rejoice, give thanks, and sing."

"Here she comes our dear teacher. Look out, girls, or you'll be ushered out of Sanford High before you've had a chance to look at the bulletin board," warned Muriel Harding's high-pitched voice. Her sarcastic remarks carried farther than she had intended they should, as a sudden hush had fallen upon the study hall. Miss Merton, Marjorie's pet aversion, had stalked into the great room.

Marjorie's mother had told her that she might invite Lily, or any other friend, to spend part or all of the holidays with her; and she had received a lovely invitation from Doris's mother to go to their home for Christmas week. But she had resolutely refused all these suggestions; she had other plans not of a social nature.

She attended school in the morning, and came home for lunch as usual, so as not to arouse suspicion; but shortly after one o'clock, she slipped out with her bag all packed. And her most precious possessions were Marjorie's pink dress and sweater! If she had carefully calculated her time, she could not have chosen a more favorable hour for escape.

Then if I find that you are not overtaxing your strength you may go on with them." "Thank you." Marjorie's relieved tone caused the principal to smile again. It was not usual for a pupil to show concern over the prospect of losing a subject. Many of the students rebelled at having to carry four subjects.
