Mrs. Livingston rapped sharply on the table.

“Miss Kidder wishes an expression from her companions,” she said in the matter of fact tone of a presiding officer.  “Any who believe that she should be dismissed, will please rise.”

Not a girl moved, scarcely a breath was heard.

“All in favor of her remaining will please rise.”

Every girl in the room sprang to her feet.  Mrs. Livingston smiled, a smile of happy satisfaction.  Cora Kidder stood pale and trembling.  She stepped forward until she was facing Harriet Burrell, whose face was as pale as her own.

“Ha-arriet!  Can you forgive me?”

“I—­I think I forgave you long ago, Cora, for I knew that it was not yourself.  I, too, was at fault.  I think my fault was the greater of the two,” answered Harriet steadily, sweeping the tense faces of her companions in a slow glance.  “Shall we agree to let ‘bygones be bygones’ and be friends.”

A moment later the two girls’ hands met in a firm clasp.

“Come, girls!” admonished the voice of the Chief Guardian.  “Our dinner is getting cold.”

A new era in Camp Wau-Wau dated from that moment.  The following days were the happiest that the Chief Guardian and the Camp Girls remembered to have passed in camp.  The Meadow-Brook Girls were not the only ones to profit by their experiences there, and they will be heard from again in the next volume entitled:  “The Meadow-brook girls across country; Or, The Exciting Tramp of the Young Pathfinders.”  It is a splendid narrative of the doings and the adventures of these wide-awake girls.

THE END.

HENRY ALTEMUS COMPANY’S

CATALOGUE OF

The Best and Least Expensive
Books for Real Boys
and Girls

* * * * *

Really good and new stories for boys and girls are not plentiful.  Many stories, too, are so highly improbable as to bring a grin of derision to the young reader’s face before he has gone far.  The name of Altemus is a distinctive brand on the cover of a book, always ensuring the buyer of having a book that is up-to-date and fine throughout.  No buyer of an Altemus book is ever disappointed.

Many are the claims made as to the inexpensiveness of books.  Go into any bookstore and ask for an Altemus book.  Compare the price charged you for Altemus books with the price demanded for other juvenile books.  You will at once discover that a given outlay of money will buy more of the Altemus books than of those published by other houses.

Every dealer in books carries the Altemus books.
