GRACE AND ELEANOR MAKE A FORMAL CALL Before recess the next day the news that Grace Harlowe and Eleanor Savelli had been seen in earnest conversation together traveled like wild fire around the study hall.

The members of the Phi Sigma Tau could scarcely believe their eyes, and when at recess they sought for enlightenment, Grace would give them no satisfaction save that she and Eleanor had really become friendly again.
"I love you all dearly, but I can't tell you about it yet, so please don't ask me.

When I do tell you, you'll understand and be as glad as I am," she informed them affectionately, and with this they were obliged to content themselves.
At one o'clock that afternoon Grace was summoned from the study hall, and her friends' curiosity went up to the highest pitch and did not in the least abate when Eleanor Savelli was also excused and hurriedly followed Grace out.
"This must mean that they have caught him," said Eleanor, as she and Grace turned their steps in the direction of the police station.
Grace nodded silently.

Her mind was busy with Marian's problem.

She must get back the money that Henry Hammond had wheedled Marian into giving him.
