er grave. Polly, however,
reminded Mary that there would be no Miss Sharp at the ranch, and Uncle
Dick whispered to Molly that he didn't see how any one could be other
than happy at the prospect of spending part of each day in Miss
Ainslee's company, and from that began to make such delightful plans
that in a short time they were happy in thinking of the good times
ahead of them. Uncle Dick promised to provide each with a safe little
broncho to ride. Aunt Ada told them that their Aunt Jennie had put
three small beds in her biggest room, so that the little girls could
room together. Miss Ainslee told Molly confidentially that it made all
the difference in the world to her that she was to have one of her own
little pupils with her, and Polly, who really loved Cooney more than
either of the others, was so delighted at not having to give him up
that she was ready to share him generously with her cousins, and always
lifted him over into Mary's or Molly's lap whenever one of them said:
"Now, Polly, you have had him long enough."

Altogether the long journey was not unpleasant, and when the travelers
at last arrived, though they were weary, they were very happy, and that
night cuddled down in their little white beds while around their
dwelling place towered up the great mountains, steadfast as the
friendship which was born that summer in the hearts of the three little
cousins and which lasted their lifetime.
