DOROTHY DALE'S PROMISE
"THE BAD PENNIES"
The train started a second after the two almost breathless girls entered the half-empty chair car. They came in with a rush, and barely found their seats and got settled in them before the easily rolling train had pulled clear of the station and the yards.
"Back to dear old Glenwood School, Doro!" cried Tavia Travers, fairly hugging her more sober companion. "How do you feel about it?"
"Your feeling is not scriptural," groaned Dorothy, though her eyes twinkled. "Don't you know, if you are struck on one cheek you should turn the other also?"
"Well, Aunt Winnie is well rid of that Akerson," said Dorothy, with a little sigh of satisfaction.
"And your cousins, Ned and Nat, have you to thank for the salvation of their income," returned Tavia.
Tavia was already struggling with the window. But windows in cars are made to stick, it would seem. Tavia cast a pleading glance from her big eyes at the trim young brakeman just then coming through the car.
"Please!" Tavia's eyes said just as plainly as though she had spoken the word; but the young brakeman shook his head gravely.
"Do you really want it open, Miss?" he asked, hesitating at the chairs occupied by the two friends.
"I want to see out--just a little bit," said Tavia, pouting.
"Isn't he just a dear?" murmured Tavia to Dorothy, but loud enough for the young railroad man to hear.
