Thought Alan wistfully as he gazed at Professor Hodge's letter offering him a place in the archaeological expedition to Egypt. But with his father seriously ill from an automobile accident and the whole worry of the hardware store on Alan's young shoulders, he couldn't take it. And Sherry's family thought that her chance had come with the invitation to visit her rich uncle in New York, for they did not suspect the rudeness and sophistication which she would meet there. But Sherry proved her worth and her courage to her uncle and both she and Alan found their chances where they had not expected them, and happiness beyond their brightest dreams.
