"We simply must," replied Mary Lee.
"Tell you what I'll do," said Mary Lee. "I feel as if I should go out to see the Quinns. I owe them a call. Perhaps I can make Mr. Quinn understand how good these bonds are and if he has any savings he might want to buy some of them."
"I'll go with you," Letty replied.
"HELLO, MARY LEE, HAVE YOU COME TO STAY?"
The call on the Quinns was made the next day. The girls took the train and walked to the home from the station. Mary Lee was delighted with the farm; it showed great improvement over the year before.
Mrs. Quinn came to the door, one hand shading her eyes and the other partly lifting the apron which she wore while busy in the kitchen.
"Well, if it isn't Mary Lee and Miss Saunders!" she exclaimed.
