A VISIT TO ELEANOR The next day, when Grace, in company with her chums, left the school building, they beheld the shabby little figure of Mabel Allison waiting for them just outside the campus.

She looked shy and embarrassed when she saw the four girls bearing down upon her, and seemed half inclined to run away.

Grace greeted her cordially and introduced her to her chums, whose simple and unaffected manners soon put her at her ease.
"I am so glad you waited," said Grace cordially.

"I have told my three friends about you, as I knew they would be as much interested in you as I am.

We have made a plan and if we can carry it out, you will be able to go to school until you graduate." "You are very good to take so much trouble for me," said Mabel, the tears springing to her eyes; "but I'm afraid it won't do any good." "Don't be down-hearted," said Nora sympathetically.
