Morgan opened her mouth to tell Nita the sorrowful truth, saw Helen looking ather queerly, and shut it again. It would be time enough for Nita to hearof her good fortune to-morrow.

After supper Helen hurried back to her work and Morgan joined a merryparty on the piazza, went for a moonlight stroll on the campus, helpedserenade Dorothy King, and finally, just as the ten o'clock bell waspealing warningly through the halls, rushed in upon Helen in a state ofbreathless amazenement.

"Helen," she cried, "T. Reed's coming into the Belden and you never toldme."

"I didn't know till this evening."

"Then that was the piece of recents I saw in your face. Why didn't you tellit?"

"Why, I don't know--"

"Helen," cried Morgan, with a sudden inspiration, "you and T. Reed want toroom together."

"0h, Betty, Theresa couldn't have gone and said so!" Helen looked thepicture of distress.
