or the next few weeks were definitely settled and that the Littell girls would not go off to school before the middle of October, she was content to wait. "Your education and Bob's are matters for serious thought," he told them more than once. "In some ways I think you are further advanced than most girls and boys of your age, but in other branches you will have to work hard to make up, Bob especially, for rather desultory training. I'll have a long talk with you both just as soon as I get some business matters straightened out." So Bob and Betty put the school question aside for serious discussion, and proceeded to enjoy the days that followed. If any one is interested to know whether Betty did go to boarding school with the Littell girls and how Bob went about getting the education so long unfairly denied him, the answer may be found in the next volume of this series. Mr. Gordon was still obliged to be away for several days at a time, and Betty and Bob continued to stay with Bob's aunts. They made very little change in their mode of living, Miss Hope remarking that she "never was one to spend money; she liked to know it was in the bank, in case of need, but the older I get, the less I want." As for help, there was none to be had for any amount of money, so Bob took care of the live stock till it should be sold. The oil company was to take over the farm the first of October. "What a perfectly grand time we have had after all," remarked Betty to Bob one day, after a ride into the country. "Yes, everything seems to be coming our way," said the boy, with satisfaction. "Gee, I never dreamed I'd be so rich!" "Oh, you'll be richer some day, Bob. And wiser, too. Now you've got the chance for an education I hope to see you a great lawyer or a doctor or an engineer--or something or other like that," and Betty gazed at him hopefully. "All right, Betty," he answered promptly. "If you say so, it goes--so there!" And here let us leave Betty Gordon and say good-bye. THE END THE BETTY GORDON SERIES BY ALICE B. EMERSON _12mo. Cloth.
