not kidding, Mr. Anthony!)
Monday morning. Didn't have
time to get my lessons after I came
in last night so I just decided to
cut again. Boy, I sure had a good
time with Jerry last night. (I really
think I should devote myself to
him, Mr. Anthony. He seems to ap-
preciate me so!)
Monday afternoon. Tom called up
this afternoon and apologized for
his atrocious behavior the other day.
We have a date to go to the show to-
night. I don't care if it is dead
week; I'll sign out to the library!
Tuesday morning. That was the
best show last night! Oh, that Pegory
Greck!! Swoon, swoon! Have a date
with Tom for supper at six-thirty.Tuesday noon. Just saw Jerry, and
he asked me for a date tonight. Told
him eight o'clock.
Tuesday afternoon. David called
to ask me for a coke date in ten

found the answer to vexing prob-
lems there.
"There it is, Mr. Graham. To the
left, about a half mile. Right over
the top of that rise we're goin' up."
The passenger stopped his consid-
eration of the crupper and looked at
the place indicated by the teamster.
"When can I get transportation
to Santa Fe?"
4-THE GALLEON"Well, there ain't none. Leastways,
there ain't no regular wagon trains.
Most of them go a little further
south if they're hauling freight to
Santa Fe, and the immigrant trains
don't come this far out. This coun-
try ain't been open to homesteaders
long, and some still ain't been open
to the west a piece. The Indian
trouble south of here scared settlers
away, but General Miles chased all
the Indians back to the Territory
and there ain't much danger now.
The railroad will have to go through
here, and when it does, this place
