it had not reached the amount earned by the seniors.

The playing of the great Savelli at the concert was still a matter of
comment in Oakdale. There were several persons in the audience who had
previously heard him play, and had at once recognized him. More
remarkable still was the fact of his being the father of Eleanor
Savelli, and all sorts of rumors sprang up regarding his advent in
Oakdale, and his affairs in general. As for Eleanor, it was some time
before she could accustom herself to the idea of having a living father,
and a famous one at that. She had gone down to the carriage on the night
of the concert wondering what was in store for her, and had scarcely
stepped inside before she had been clasped in the arms of the virtuoso,
and addressed as his child. Shaking herself free from his clasp, she had
demanded an explanation from her aunt, who had told her the truth, which

from her name, and now proudly signed herself Savelli.

The Phi Sigma Tau, particularly Anne and Grace, became prime favorites
with the great violinist and were frequently invited to "Heartsease" to
hear him play, an honor which was accorded to no one else in Oakdale.

The days hurried by altogether too swiftly to suit Grace and her three
closest friends, who looked forward to commencement week with mingled
emotions of joy and regret. Graduation was the goal they had been
striving for four years to reach, but graduation meant also the parting
of the ways, and as the four chums looked back over their High School
life it seemed to them that they could never again have quite the good
times that they had e
