arsh words to Mrs. Johnson
last fall, and slammed the door in their faces? She had changed utterly;
suffering, responsibility, kindness, work, and the influence of the Girl
Scout principles in her life had all helped to accomplish it.

"I want you to come back and meet the members of our troop," she said,
taking Frieda's hand. "They are waiting--but they won't wait long."

She found the girls gathered around Miss Phillips, intoxicated with
their success, but impatient of the delay that kept them from joining
their friends in the audience.

"Captain! Girls!" interrupted Marjorie, out of breath from her haste and
excitement. "I want to introduce a Girl Scout from Pine Cone troop of
Trenton. But," she added,--"first of all she belongs to Pansy troop.
Miss Frieda Hammer!"

The girls could only gasp at these words; for it was not until after a
second look that they recognized the country girl their troop had tried
to adopt. The transformation was wonderful, the triumph complete! And
they all realized that it was Marjorie's!

"And you're a second-class Scout!" cried Ethel, noticing the clover on
her sleeve.

"And--own--a--pioneer--badge!" said Ruth, in amazement. "Why, you can go
on the canoe trip!"

"I only won it last Saturday," said Frieda. "Oh, I should love to go on
your canoe trip--but--I don't belong to Pansy troop!"

"You certainly do!" protested Lily.

"I tell you what I could do!" cried Frieda, with a flash of inspiration.
"Do you need a cook?"

"Indeed we do," answered Miss Phillips. "I said only yesterday that we
must get some one. Can you cook?"

"I think so!"

"Then you're hired!"

"Hurray for our new Scout!" they all cried, linking arms in a great
chain.

"And for our 'Good Turn!'" exclaimed Ruth. "It's done at last."

"By Marjorie Wilkinson!" added Miss Phillips. Then, under her breath,
"The Truest Girl Scout!"

The next volume in this series will tell of the Girl Scouts' Canoe Trip.
