Major Dale was regularly appointed as little Nellie's guardian, although
the girl continued to reside with Mrs. Mooney. But she often came to see
Dorothy, and to see Tavia, too.

"It has all turned out for the best," said Dorothy, one day, to Tavia.

"I wonder if anything so wonderful will ever happen to us again,"
remarked her friend.

"I doubt it," answered Dorothy; yet she was mistaken; something
wonderful did happen, although of an entirely different nature. What it
was we shall discover in another story about her, to be called, "Dorothy
Dale at Glenwood School."

Schooldays at Dalton were rapidly drawing to a close now. Both Dorothy
and Tavia applied themselves diligently, and, wonder of wonders, both
passed!

"I can't believe it!" cried Tavia, and she began to dance around the
room. "Isn't it sublime!" And then she caught Dorothy and made her dance
too.

"It certainly is grand," answered Dorothy. "Oh, I am so happy!" and then
she kissed her girl friend; and here let us say good-bye.

The End
