She turned to the back of it, tore out a page that had nothing on it, and with Peter's own pencil, which she found on the floor under the sofa, she started to write. When she had finished her note read as follows: "_Dear Peter:_ "I am saying good-by to the Enchanted Kingdom, for I am going away next week. Of course I will write you letters to boarding school, but I wanted to leave this for you to find the first time you come back. "We had lots of good times together, didn't we? I suppose the next time we see each other we won't want to pretend, so this is a last good-by to Lord Carrot Tops from "THE PRINCESS OF THE ENCHANTED KINGDOM." When it was written, she folded it up and stuck it between the leaves of the sheep book. Then she stood up to go. "Good-by, my wonderful Kingdom," she said. "I will always love you better than any room in the world." She tiptoed to the window and climbed out swiftly. As she ran down the hill, her eyes smarted and she did not look back. CHAPTER XXI CONCLUSION An ordinary train pulled in on an ordinary day at the Old Chester station. A man and a girl, with soft brown eyes blurred by unshed tears, entered the Pullman car and took the seats that the porter showed them. Then the car started again, and the girl leaned out of the window. "They are all there," she said. "Harry, Mrs. Todd, Mildred and Alice, and Martha. I can't believe I'm really going away from them." "But you are, little sister of mine; you are going to a brand new world, and I am anxious to hear what you and another little sister of mine are going to do in it." "It's more her world than mine," the girl reminded him. "Yes, just as this was more your world than hers, but she came to your world and liked it," the man replied. "Just as you are going to like her world." "And before you know it, both worlds are going to be 'our world.'" The girl, who was Janet, looked out of the window and smiled, and the train seemed to hurry them along. THE END [Illustration: Left end paper] Illustration: Right end paper]
