ing about.
"Where's my bag? Oh, yes. And my parasol? Oh there's Winnie riding
horseback on it. Well, Gypsy, go--od--"

"Bye," finished Gypsy, with a great sob. And oh, such a hugging and
kissing as there was then!

[Illustration]

Then Joy was caught in her Auntie's arms, and Tom's and Winnie's all at
once, it seemed to her, for the coachman was in a very great hurry, and
by the time she was in the coach seated by her father, she found she had
quite spoiled her new kid gloves, rubbing her eyes.

"Good-bye," called Gypsy, waving one of Winnie's old jackets, under the
impression that it was a handkerchief.

"Twice every week!"

"Yes--sure: on pink paper, remember."

"Yes, and envelopes. Good-bye. Good-bye!"

So the last nodding and smiling was over, and the coach rattled away,
and the house with the figures on the steps grew dim and faded from
sight, and the train whirled Joy on over the mountains--away into that
future of which she sat thinking in Peace Maythorne's room, of which she
sat thinking now, with earnest eyes, looking off through the car-window,
with many brave young hopes, and little fear.

"You'd just better come into the dining-room," said Winnie to Gypsy, who
was standing out in the yard, remarkably interested in the lilac-bush,
and under the very curious impression that people thought she wasn't
crying. "I think it's real nice Joy's gone, 'cause she didn't eat up her
luncheon. There's a piece of pounded cake with sugar on top. There were
tarts with squince-jelly in 'em too, but they--well, they ain't there
now, someways or nuther."

THE END.
