word of this,
remember. Thank goodness, _you_ are one girl who can keep a secret.
Miss Picolet, I want to see you in my study. I hope that, hereafter,
you will give me your confidence. For you need fear no dismissal from
the school over such a misfortune as is visited upon you."

She took the sobbing, trembling French teacher away with her while Ruth
ran up to Duet Two in the West Dormitory, in a much excited state of
mind.

Fortunately both Helen and Mercy had dropped to sleep and none of the
other girls seemed to have heard the harp at midnight. So there was no
talk this time about the Ghost of the Campus. To the other girls at
Briarwood, the mystery remained unsolved, and the legend of the marble
harp was told again and again to the Infants who came to the school,
with the added point that, on the night Ruth Fielding and Helen Cameron
had come to the hall, the marble harp was again heard to sound its
ghostly note.

No thought of such foolish, old-wives' fables troubled Ruth Fielding's
dreams as she lay down on this night which had seen the complete
exposure of the campus mystery and the laying of the campus ghost. She
dreamed, instead, of completing her first term at Briarwood with
satisfaction to herself and her teachers--which she did! She dreamed
of returning to the old Red Mill and being joyfully received by Aunt
Alviry and Uncle Jabez--which she did! She dreamed, too, of joining
Helen Cameron and her mid-winter party at Snow Camp and enjoying
quantities of fun and frolic in the wintry woods; which, likewise, came
true, and which adventures will be related in good time In the next
volume of this series: "Ruth Fielding at Snow Camp; Or, Lost in the
Backwoods."

"I am so glad it is over!" said Ruth to herself, as she retired. "I
hope there is no more trouble."

And here let us for the time being say good bye to Ruth Fielding and
her chums of Briarwood Hall.

PEGGY LEE SERIES

By ANNA ANDREWS

A charming series of stories of a young American girl, Peggy Lee,
living with her family (including many unusual pets) on a large coffee
plantation in Central America, and her many adventures there and in New
