ren't you, Timmie? Yes, he's my brother. I bring him with me once in a great while for a change. He likes the ride on the cars and he takes care of himself beautifully while I'm at work. Then at nooning we play picnic, don't we, Timmie?" There was no time for further talk then. When the return trip came, Judy filled all the home ride with her lively spirits. So it was not until the next morning that Glory found her opportunity to broach her new idea to the Other Girl. She came breezily into the car and sat down beside the quiet figure with a sigh of relief. "I'm glad my friend Judy isn't homesick for the Seminary to-day, as she was yesterday," she laughed. "And I'm a _little_ glad you didn't bring your brother. You see, there's something I want to talk about, and, if you don't mind, I'll begin this minute." Mind!--the Other Girl mind how soon this dainty, beautiful girl "began"! She stole an admiring look at the natty costume and upward into the bright, sweet face.

"You long to go to school and can't--I _don't_ long to and can! Now here's my idea that I evolved with my thinking-cap--I mean _night_-cap--on! Let's go to school together. We can pore over the horrid old books on the train, mornings and nights, and I can try and remember all the teachers tell me at the Seminary during the day. Aunt Hope will be overjoyed to have me try to remember anything! And, don't you see, anybody who worships history and can't let a Latin book alone, could keep up easy enough with a dull thing like me." Glory paused for breath. She was still laughing with her eyes.
