Didn't understand what?" asked
Hugh, wonderingly.
WELL" patiently, perhaps I can
make you understand by risking hurt

understand why paleontology should
be at all important to Wyoming. ]
do appreciate, however, the kind of
independence of mind a man must
have to have suffered for his work
as you've been made to suffer for
yours"
"rd rather you'd appreciate what
paleontology can do for Wyoming"
interposed Hugh, grimly.

/ know what goes to making that kind

man with single track mind you
think you are. Mr.. Stewart, if you
were given the chance to fight for the
Children's Code, would you fight?"
Hugh refilled his pipe carefully. II
