GRACE HARLOWE'S SECOND YEAR 

AT OVERTON COLLEGE 

CHAPTER I 

OVERTON CLAIMS HER OWN 

"Oh, there goes Grace Harlowe! Grace! Grace! Wait a minute!" A
curly-haired little girl hastily deposited her suit case, golf bag, two
magazines and a box of candy on the nearest bench and ran toward a
quartette of girls who had just left the train that stood puffing
noisily in front of the station at Overton. 

The tall, gray-eyed young woman in blue turned at the call, and,
running back, met the other half way.  "Why, Arline!" she exclaimed.
"I didn't see you when I got off the train." The two girls exchanged
affectionate greetings; then Arline was passed on to Miriam Nesbit,
Anne Pierson and J.  Elfreda Briggs, who, with Grace Harlowe, had come
back to Overton College to begin their second year's course of study.
