and then all the names of the girls were to follow, written out by each girl.

The second form came in to sign their names. “What’s ‘You Know What’?” asked Tessie, curiously.

“It’s our Great Midnight Feast,” answered Pat. “She knew we had one and didn’t tell. Now, has every one signed? You haven’t Lorna. Put your name at the bottom.”

All the girls felt rather ashamed when they heard Kathleen’s tale of what they had overheard.

“You shouldn’t really have listened,” said Hilary, reprovingly. “It’s mean to overhear things.”

“I know,” said Pat. “But we really couldn’t help it, Hilary. And anyway, I’m glad we did. We can stop Kenny giving up her job, anyway.”

It did prevent Miss Kennedy from going to Miss Theobald when she came in that evening. She saw the letter on her desk, and opened it. When she read it the tears came into her eyes.

“What a nice letter!” she thought. “The girls are not little wretches after all! If only they keep their promise! I should be happy teaching them then!”

She thanked each form the next morning, and assured them that she forgave them. And, for the first time that term, her lessons went as smoothly as those of the other teachers, for the girls had no intention of breaking their word.

There would be giggles now and then—sly flippings of paper darts—but no organized ragging, and no unkindness. Kenny was happy. She taught well now that she had no ragging to fight, and the girls became interested and keen.

“I’m glad we did the decent thing,” said Pat, one day, after the history lesson. “I asked old Kenny how her mother was today, and she said she’s much better, and is coming out of the nursing home tomorrow. Wouldn’t it have been awful if she had died because we made Kenny lose her job so that her mother couldn’t be nursed back to health?”

“Awful,” agreed Isabel. And every one in the form thought the same.
