A glitter of mischief gleamed from the cattleman's eyes. "Meaning Harley, Waring?" "You know who I mean. I tell you she's an angel from heaven, pure as the driven snow." "And I tell you that I'll take your word for it without quarreling with you," was the goodhumored retort. "What's up, anyhow? I never saw you so touchy before. You're a regular pepper-box."

She could not solve the problem her father had unconsciously set her by his goodhumored view of her friends, and of the life that had so attracted her.
