They went with her, each one happier than they had been in many days.

“Oh!  There are Belle and Bess!” cried Cora.  “I must tell them.”

“Well,” remarked Ed, when Cora and Belle had about talked themselves out, “I suppose you motor girls call that quite a series of adventures?”

“Indeed we do,” answered Cora.  “I don’t know that I care to have any more just like them.”

But, though no adventures just like those narrated here occurred to the motor girls, the possession of their new cars led them into a strange complication not long afterward, and the details of it will be set down in the next book of this series, to be entitled:  “The Motor Girls on a Tour; or, Keeping a Strange Promise.”

“Let’s have a race!” cried Jack, who was handling the new car of the twins.  “Come on, Cora, I challenge you.”

“Not now, Jack, dear,” replied his sister.  “I just want to rest—­ and think,” and she slowed her car down and ran along a quiet country road, with Bess and Jack trailing in the rear.

THE END
