CHAPTER TX.

Very slowly 1t dawned upon Mrs.
Hardy that this respectable, thriving
city, with its well-dressed, properly
hammered people, its public spirit, its
aggressiveness, it's churches and thea
tiers and schools, its law and order,
and its afternoon teas, after all, was
the real West; sincere, earnest; crude,
perhaps; bare, certainly; the scar OF
its recent battle with the wilderness
still fresh upon its person; lacking the
finish that only time can give to a
landscape or civilization; but lack
ing also the moldiness, the mustiness
the insufferable arHficiality of Older
communities. Even Mrs. Hardy
stepped for sixty years in a life OF
precedent and rule and caste, began
| to catch the enthusiasm of a new land
where precedent and rule and caste
are something of handicap.

fateful automobile journey had had it's
