CHAPTER XXI

CONCLUSION

An ordinary train pulled in on an ordinary day at the Old Chester

station. A man and a girl, with soft brown eyes blurred by unshed

tears, entered the Pullman car and took the seats that the porter

showed them. Then the car started again, and the girl leaned out of

the window.

"They are all there," she said. "Harry, Mrs. Todd, Mildred and

Alice, and Martha. I can't believe I'm really going away from them."

"But you are, little sister of mine; you are going to a brand new

world, and I am anxious to hear what you and another little sister of

mine are going to do in it."

"It's more her world than mine," the girl reminded him.

"Yes, just as this was more your world than hers, but she came to

your world and liked it," the man replied. "Just as you are going to

like her world."

"And before you know it, both worlds are going to be 'our world.'"

The girl, who was Janet, looked out of the window and smiled, and the

train seemed to hurry them along.
