Only the influence of Ruth Graham, the most popular girl in the school, prevented an open outbreak, but the influence of her generous personality prevailed, and the school, though inwardly raging, welcomed the newcomer with at least a semblance of cordiality. As the weeks passed Mary Adair clung more and more to Ruth, whom she instinctively felt was her friend. She showed her the letters she received from her father, confined in a distant prison, and Ruth read the prisoner's declarations of innocence, and grew to believe that possibly justice had miscarried. A sorority had been established by the girls of the school, and Ruth, now a member of the senior class, applied for admission. After an elaborate initiation, it was decreed that she spend the night in the "haunted house," a deserted residence which had been unoccupied for years. Ruth pluckily complied, and eluding the vigilance of the school officials, entered the house, and with many shudders, waited for the coming of day. Two other persons came to the "haunted house" that night. They had no idea that there was anyone else in the place, but the plucky girl overheard their conversation, and what she learned enabled her to clear the name of John Adair, and bring happiness once more to Mary, by restoring her to the father she loved.
