CHAPTER XVI.
AN OUNCE OF LOYALTY When the girls of the sophomore class entered their locker-room the next day they found a notice posted to the effect that a class meeting would be held after school in the locker-room at which all members were earnestly requested to be present.
There was considerable speculation as to the object of the meeting, and no one knew who had posted the notice.

Grace kept her own counsel.

She wished to take the class by surprise, and thus make Anne's restoration to favor complete.
At recess Nora and Jessica brought up the subject, but found that Grace apparently wished to avoid talking about it.
"You'll attend, won't you, Grace ?" asked Anne.
"Of course," said Grace hastily.

"Will you excuse me, girls?
I have a theorem to study." She felt that if she stayed a minute longer she would tell her friends the good news and spoil her surprise.
"What makes Grace act so queerly to-day ?" said Jessica.

"I believe she knows something and won't tell us." "I'll make her tell it," said Nora, and ran after Grace.
