ised Nettie and her aunt
that we would come?"

"Surely! Why, we'll have a dandy time," declared Helen, "just us girls
alone."

This belief proved true in the end, as may be learned in the next volume
of this series, to be entitled "Ruth Fielding Down in Dixie; Or, Great
Days in the Land of Cotton."

"I didn't see your father or Tom or Mrs. Murchiston," Ruth said, as she
and Helen walked across the campus.

"They are here, just the same," said Helen, laughing.

"Where?"

"I shouldn't be surprised if we found them up in our old quartette. Ann is
with her Uncle Bill Hicks, and Mercy is with her father and mother. We
shall have the room to ourselves. We'll get out my new tea set and give
them tea. Come on!"

Helen raced up the stairs, opened the door of the big room, and then got
behind it so that Ruth, coming hurriedly in, should first see the little,
quivering, eager figure which had risen out of the low chair by the
window.

"My pretty! my pretty!" gasped Aunt Alvirah. "I seen you graduate, and I
heard you sing, and I listened to your fine readin'. But, oh, my pretty,
how hungry my arms are for ye!"

She hobbled across the floor to meet Ruth and, for once, forgot her
usually intoned complaint: "Oh, my back! and oh, my bones!" Ruth caught
her in her strong young arms. Helen slipped out and joined her family in
the hall.

In a little while Tom thundered on the door, and shouted: "Hey! we're
dying for that cup of tea Helen promised us, Ruthie Fielding. Aren't you
ever going to let us in?"

Ruth's smiling face immediately appeared. Her eyes were still wet and her
lips trembled as she said:

"Come in, all of you, do! We are sure to have a nice cup of tea. Aunt
Alvirah is making it herself."
