I shall love you forever for saving the day for us, Mary. You are not out of practice a bit, but still you will let Mr. Thornbury have all your extra leisure until the games come off, won't you? I hate to ask it, Dolly went on hurriedly, for she knew that this would involve the giving up of all the extra laboratory work which Mary was doing.

But you will do it for the sake of the college, will you not?

Oh, yes. If I am going to go into this thing at all, I want to do my best. I didn't see the trial competitions last year, but you and Beth did. How do I compare with the girls from the other colleges?

You do better than they did then, but I hear that they have been practicing hard ever since.

I will do my very best, Dolly; perhaps we can win a 'second' after all. Mr. Thornbury shall give me all the drilling and training that he wishes to. My examinations are all over, and I really do not have to do a single thing more. I was doing the extra work with Professor Reimer just because it was such a wonderfully good chance.
