In spite of the strange chain of events following so closely on each other's heels, "The Automobile Girls" had only pleasant memories of Ten Eyck Hall and its occupants.

Among their trips they counted this as one of the most interesting, but Ruth, who was ever planning future surprises, had a plan that would outdo all other visits. This was nothing less than a journey to her own home, Chicago.

This excursion, every moment of which was to throb with interest for our four girls, involved the attempt to discover a hidden treasure buried in what had once been the prairie home of an old Illinois family. These adventures, with exciting scenes on the Stock Exchange where Barbara Thurston learned of a plot to ruin her friends, and much more, all is vividly described in the next volume of this series:

"The Automobile Girls at Chicago; or, Winning Out Against Heavy Odds."

THE END.
