"I always did love a fighter. What a trader you would make! It was a fair fight, and you won.

"No, it wasn't a fair fight. It was distinctly an unfair one," declared Barbara. "I think I shall send these flowers back."
"I don't believe I would do that," advised Miss Sallie. "The flowers are plainly intended as a tribute to you as a fighter, Bab, and the acceptance of flowers is unlike the acceptance of any other gift."
So Barbara kept the roses.
The next day the "Automobile Girls'" party was broken up. The time for Grace, Bab, and Mollie to return to Kingsbridge had arrived, to the keen regret of both the young people and their elders. Mr. Stuart, with a twinkle in his eyes, kept talking vaguely about "Easter," but what his plans were, he would not say.
The wonderful Easter vacation that these plans developed into may be read about in a following volume entitled, "The Automobile Girls at Palm Beach; or, Proving Their Mettle Under Southern Skies," a vacation never to be forgotten by the "Automobile Girls".
THE END
