over night; but neither could
properly express the feeling he had for Nan Sherwood.

Mrs. Morton did that later in a letter, and Nan keeps that much-read
letter to this very day in the secret box in which she locks her medal
for bravery. She thinks a great deal more of the letter from the grateful
farmer's wife than she does of the Society's medal.

Before Nan Sherwood returned to Tillbury she saw Jennie Albert again, and
finally made a special call upon Madam, the famous film actress, to beg
that kind, if rather thoughtless, woman, to take the girl under her own
special and powerful protection.

Inez went to Tillbury and Mrs. Sherwood welcomed the waif just as Nan
knew she would. While Nan was absent at school, her mother would have
somebody to run errands and who would be cheerful company for her in "the
little dwelling in amity."

So we leave Nan Sherwood, looking toward her second term at Lakeview
Hall, and about to renew her association with the girls and instructors
there--looking forward, likewise, to hard study, jolly times, and a
broadening opportunity for kindly deeds and pleasant adventures in her
school life.
