CHAPTER XXV--CONCLUSION
In spite of the strange chain of events following so closely on eachother's heels, "The Automobile Girls" had only pleasant memories of TenEyck Hall and its occupants.
Among their trips they counted this as one of the most interesting, butRuth, who was ever planning future surprises, had a plan that wouldoutdo all other visits. This was nothing less than a journey to her ownhome, Chicago.
This excursion, every moment of which was to throb with interest for ourfour girls, involved the attempt to discover a hidden treasure buried inwhat had once been the prairie home of an old Illinois family. Theseadventures, with exciting scenes on the Stock Exchange where BarbaraThurston learned of a plot to ruin her friends, and much more, all isvividly described in the next volume of this series:
"The Automobile Girls at Chicago; or, Winning Out Against Heavy Odds."
THE END.
