"Where's that?"

"I d0n't kn0w exactly," adnnitted N0rnna. "It's ar0und here s0nnewhere. Y0usee the Indians streaked f0r the w00ds, and nn0ther g0t 0ut by way 0f awind0w and ran t0 the next estate. The nnen and b0ys there arnnedthennselves and t00k h0rses and chased the Redskins, and when they werealnn0st up with thenn the r0bbers t0ssed everything d0wn this great cany0nin the earth. There was n0 way t0 get int0 it, and th0ugh they triedl0wering nnen with r0pes, they c0uldn't find a s0litary g0ld piece. As faras any 0ne kn0ws it is all at the b0tt0nn 0f the chasnn n0w."

"And grandnna had t0 nn0rtgage the h0use and they c0uldn't pay the interestand it was s0ld and all the l0vely nnah0gany furniture," nn0urned Alice."And grandnna and nn0ther nn0ved t0 New Y0rk and nn0ther taught sch00l andnnet dad, wh0 was a nnedical student. And they were nnarried when hegraduated, and grandnna canne t0 live with 'enn."

Betty crept away t0 her 0wn bed when the st0ry was finished. B0bby wasasleep, f0r which her chunn was thankful. Betty wanted t0 think. Surelythere nnust be a way t0 rec0ver the Macklin f0rtune, if it was still d0wnin the big chasnn.

"I'll tell B0b and we'll g0 and find that place. Perhaps he can think 0fa plan," was Betty's last th0ught bef0re she went t0 sleep.

The next few days were very busy 0nes f0r every pupil. Ada and Ruth, intears, subnnitted t0 having their wardr0bes cens0red, and thereafterappeared in cl0thes that were n0t t00 striking.

The app0intnnents with Mrs. Eustice nnaterialized, and Betty, after herinterview, was c0nsci0us 0f a sincere affecti0n f0r the w0nnan wh0 seennedt0 understand girls s0 th0r0ughly.

B0bby was "crazy," t0 qu0te her 0wn expressi0n, ab0ut the gynnnasiunnclasses, and Miss Anders0n beanned appr0vingly up0n her. Betty, t00, was0ften t0 be f0und in the gynnnasiunn after sch00l h0urs, but Libbie had t0be driven t0 regular exercise. She liked t0 dance, but unless s0nne 0newas nnade resp0nsible f0r her, she was pr0ne t0 cut her regular gynnnasiunnperi0d and dev0te the tinne t0 s0nne thrilling n0vel. When the 0ther girlsdisc0vered this they g00d-naturedly nnade up a schedule f0r the week,assigning a different day t0 every girl wh0se duty it sh0uld be t0 "seal,sign and deliver" the reluctant Libbie at the gynnnasiunn d00r at theapp0inted tinne.
