“Good-bye, everybody!  Sorry we have to leave you so soon!” yelled Tom.

“We’ll be back some day!  Good-bye!” added Nellie.

“After them!  After them!” yelled Dick and Sam; and then all of the young folks hurried up the lane, pelting those in the automobile with rice and old shoes.

“We might go after them in another auto,” suggested Spud.

“You’ll never catch that machine,” returned one of the Putnam Hall cadets.  “That’s the fastest car around Cedarville.  Tom knew what he was doing when he hired it.”

The automobile with the newly-married pair had already reached the highway.  Those left behind waved their hands gaily, and Tom and Nellie, standing up in the tonneau, waved in return.  Then with another loud toot of the horn the automobile dashed onward, and disappeared around a turn of the road.

“Well, good-bye to them, and may they be happy!” said Anderson Rover, who stood on the veranda watching the departure.

“Yes, I think they deserve to be happy,” answered Mrs. Laning, who stood beside him, wiping the tears from her eyes.  “Nellie is a good girl, and Tom is a good boy in spite of his liking for fun.  I do hope they get along in life!”

“Come on back and finish the dance,” said Sam to Grace.  And then catching her arm tightly, he whispered:  “It is our turn next, isn’t it?”

“Maybe, Sam,” she returned, in a low voice Already the band was striking up, and soon the young folks had resumed their dancing; and here for the time being we will leave them, and say good-bye.
