“You romp!” came the disgusted voice once more. “You’d better cut your hair, and your skirts, and be a child again.” “I might as well tell you all about it, Mrs. Wopp,” confessed Howard. “When I got to town and found the train was almost due, I felt frightfully shy. So I got Ken Judson to put on his boiled shirt and Sunday suit and go to the station. He looked the part, I assure you, much better than I would.

It was as though he had suddenly realized that life was, after all, more serious than one suspects in one’s idle moments. As ordered two of the posse were closing in from the west toward the rendezvous. A few more steps and the four met. Those who had been ordered to beat the mountain about the spring were waiting below; the fire had perfectly policed that territory. “Now Moses,” announced his mother, “Jist for a change an’ rest like, turn this here separator.”.
