Marjorie's quick feet hurried along the street. She found herself at the depot with not one moment to lose. She had brought her "English Literature" that she might read Tuesday's lesson in the train. She opened it as the train started, and was soon so absorbed that she was startled at a voice inquiring, "Is this seat engaged?" "No," she replied, without raising her eyes.

She is the kindest-hearted girl in the world. Next to you two, I like her best of all my schoolmates." Marjorie's affectionate tones bespoke her deep regard for the stout girl whose matter-of-fact ways and funny sayings were a perpetual joy. "If only I had listened to you and Connie in the first place." Mary sighed. "I've spoiled my sophomore year and tried hard enough to spoil yours.

The Everetts will be there, too, and we shall be sure to have a good time; we always do at Marjorie's." "The bees and the wasps were there. The old queen bee, with fiendish glee, Was pulling a hornet's hair. The monkey thought 'twas rough; He took a pinch of snuff, And then the bees began to sneeze, And left," sang a clear, boyish voice outside, and the next moment steps were heard on the piazza.

She took an impulsive step forward as the stranger came abreast of her and began: "Won't you " Marjorie's speech ended abruptly. The weeping girl cast one startled glance toward her from a pair of wet blue eyes, lunged by her without speaking and, breaking into a run, turned the corner and disappeared from view. Marjorie surveyed the back of the rapidly vanishing yellow head with rueful surprise.

Marjorie's bracelet watch adorned one plump wrist, while her own ornamented the other. "Look out, Jerry, or you'll make yourself cross-eyed trying to tell time by both those watches at once," giggled Susan Atwell. "Don't you believe it," was Jerry's good-humored retort. "They're both right to the minute." "Remember, girls, that we've just got to win," counseled Marjorie fervently.

The more she pondered on the events of the morning, she could not see that either she herself or the two boys were in any way to blame for Marjorie's explosion, and as she forlornly sat down to the lunch table, she felt as if she were in part realizing the truth of Janey's prediction.

"Come this way, girls," invited Marjorie's mother, who, in an evening frock of white silk, looked almost as young as the bevy of pretty girls that followed her. "Mr. Dean will look after you, boys."

I'm so glad," she exclaimed, between laughing and crying. "I've had a miserable day." "Didn't you know I would come?" "How bright you look!" said Linnet, looking up into the changed face; for Marjorie's trouble was all gone, there was a happy tremor about the lips, and peace was shining in her eyes. "I am bright." "What has happened to you?" "I can tell you about it now.

It was the same devil, the same streak that made him order Gilly's friends off the bed, that made him go inside Marjorie's house. If you could run your hand along Samuel Meredith's jaw you'd feel a lump. He admits he's never been sure which fist left it there, but he wouldn't lose it for anything.

"I've telephoned to the office that I won't be there at all today, so what shall we do?" "Oh, Father, a whole Ourday, all for you and me?" Marjorie's eyes danced at this unheard of experience. "Yes, Midget; partly because I'm sorry for my troubled little girl, and partly because you are bearing your trouble bravely and cheerfully."
