question: CHAPTER XXIX. 

FRANK'S IDEA. 

"That's what I call luck!" thought Richard, as he hurried back to the Massanets' home. "I'm mighty glad I called on Mr. Martin. He seems to be a gentleman and will no doubt do what is right. I hope Frank has been equally fortunate." 

Mrs. Massanet was surprised to see him returning so soon. 

"What ees eet?" she asked, anxiously. "I hope you no deesheartened a'ready?" 

"No, indeed!" returned the boy; and he told her of his good fortune. 

"Zat ees nice!" exclaimed the Frenchwoman. "I hope you gits zee place widout trouble." 

And then she gave a little sigh as she thought of her son's uncertain search. 

"Maybe Frank will be as lucky," said Richard, who fancied he could read her thoughts. 

"I sincerely hope so," returned Mrs. Massanet. 

Not having anything special to do for the rest of the day, Richard sat down and wrote a long letter home. He intended not to send it until the following day, when he could add a postscript that the new place was positively his. 

Five weeks in the great metropolis had worked wonders in the boy. He no longer looked or felt "green," and he was fast acquiring a business way that was bound, sooner or later, to be highly beneficial to him. 

In these five weeks he had received several letters from friends and not a few from home, the most important news in all of them being the announcement of his sister Grace's engagement to Charley Wood, and baby Madge's first efforts to master her A B C's.

question: (CNN) -- Winning a pageant title is life-changing, especially during the year of your reign. 

If it's a big crown, like a state title, it can be like a full-time gig as you prepare for the national event and make appearances. 

Elizabeth Fechtel set right to work after getting her tiara on June 21, when she was named Miss Florida. She reportedly had even dropped out of the University of Florida so she could prepare for the Miss America contest in September. 

But now, she won't be going to the premier beauty contest. 

Pageant officials announced Friday there had been a mistake in tabulating what must have been very close final scores. 

And days after getting her crown, Fechtel was giving it back, so the Miss Florida organization could give it to Victoria Cowen, originally announced as first runner-up. 

The executive director of the pageant said on Facebook that the organization had to make things right. 

"Integrity means doing the right thing at all times and in all circumstances. It takes having the courage to do the right thing, no matter what the consequences will be," Mary Sullivan wrote. 

Fechtel's mother, Dixie, told the Orlando Sentinel she was told that one judge changed his mind in the last 15 seconds and tried to indicate it on his ballot. 

"It was a human error," Sullivan told the paper. "We have two auditors ... but they unfortunately missed one of the markings on the ballot." 

Cowen, a student at Florida State, said on her Facebook page that she had bonded with Fechtel during their week at the competition.
