Margaret she called out, "O Mar
garet. we h<aVe a new-girl ia schooi
and I'm coming ia to tgll you
about her(right-mow. "She bound
ed into the room and started right
away telling jabout -the new girl.
"Oil, she's bo tall j • (Dorothy, her

put; .her in that empty "seat across
frc.m me and we've . beieu, j having
the greatest timie. She's ;not
afraid of Miss King at 'all. O,

know you'll jusit love'her, she's
so jolly. Good bye, you'll be in
scluol tomorrow won't you? I'll
introduce you to her.'"
Doro'h)' had talked 60 fast that
.Mai caret had not been able to

looked at her with! a puzzled ex
