as you have remarked, but I had only
the 'X-bar-Z' men for subjects and I
was lonesome for sight of women

that means now, but you may, some

"Well, the potatoes were a success.
That summer, Setter got word to
some of his old neighbors in Tennes-
see, and more prairie schooners came
up Six-Mile. We built bigger dam
and dug longer ditch; and in the
course of time the settlement at
Valley Head named itself and built a
schoolhouse."

When L awoke on the morning fol-

"Last night. Milt had you in mind,
and he brought them down from the

A mist not of the atmosphere
blurred the homely interior of the
bunk-room for me. Self-control is

the hot lava of illness thins it to the
fracturing point.
