“Your name,” said Billie, half laughing and half serious, “is at the very head of the list.”

“Do you really mean—­” Teddy was beginning eagerly, when Laura called to them laughingly.

“Whispering in corners not allowed,” she cried.  “Come over here and help us decide what we’ll eat for our first midnight feast at Three Towers Hall.  We must have midnight feasts, you know.”

“Of course we must,” cried Billie joyfully.  “Doesn’t it sound delicious?  Oh, we’re going to have a wonderful time!”

And just how wonderful a time they had and just how merry and fun-loving they found the girls at the boarding school will be told in the next volume of the series entitled, “Billie Bradley at Three Towers Hall; or, Leading a Needed Rebellion.”  In that volume may be met the girls and the boys again in adventures as queer and exciting as those already experienced.

“Well, Billie, you can’t complain of your inheritance after all,” said Chet some time later.

“Indeed not!” she answered.  “Wasn’t it the best ever?”
