The girls at Higbee School that term had a craze for marking everything they owned with their monograms. Such fads run through schools like the measles. Their clothing, books, tennis rackets, school-bags everything that was possible blossomed with monograms, more or less ornate.
On the other hand the girl from Higbee School stood well in her classes, and she had no black marks against her. No teacher had been forced to admonish Nancy, and Corinne Pevay had a cheerful word for her and a smile whenever Nancy crossed her path. And yet the girl could not be happy. Her own mates the freshmen seemed afraid of her. Or, at least, some of them did.
"Rot the luck!" said Mauburn; "I'm slated to take Mrs. Drelmer and Miss Bines to a musicale at the Van Lorrecks, where I'm certain to fall asleep trying to look as if I quite liked it, you know." "You come," Milbrey urged Percival. "My sister's there and the governor and mother." But for the moment Percival was reflecting, going over in his mind the recent homily of Higbee.
Then Major Higbee, presiding as chairman, announced the orders under which they were assembled and under which the train had been attacked. "It is ordered from headquarters that this party must be used up, except such as are too young to tell tales. We got to do it. They been acting terrible mean ever since we wouldn't sell them anything.
Just as the wagons were loaded Brother McFarland came riding into the corral and said that Brother Higbee had ordered haste to be made, as he was afraid the Indians would return and renew the attack before he could get the emigrants to a place of safety. I hurried the people, and started the wagons off towards Cedar City.
Thus Ogden city and Weber county had their beginning. Early in the spring of 1849, the first settlers moved south from Salt Lake City. They consisted of thirty families led by John S. Higbee, one of the pioneers. They settled on Provo river, built a fort for protection, and then began plowing and planting. There were quite a number of Indians in that part.
So, thus encouraged, and lying in Jennie's warm embrace, Nancy whispered the full and particular account of the little, unknown girl who had been brought to Higbee School, far away in Malden, nearly ten years before.
"But now now there's nothing absolutely nothing." "Now there's nothing," repeated Mr. Gordon, uncompromisingly. "And the girls at Pinewood Hall will be just like those at Higbee," sighed Nancy. "How's that?" demanded Mr. Gordon. "They won't want to associate with me much. Their mothers won't let them invite me home. For I am a nobody.
It's a pity you ain't my son; that's all I got to say. I want to see you again along in September after I get back from San Francisco; I'm going to try to get you interested in some business. That'd be good for you." "You're kind, Mr. Higbee, and really I appreciate all you say; but you'll see me settle down pretty soon, quick as I get my bearings, and be a credit to the State of Montana."
Your parents may be in jail for all anybody knows," returned Cora. "You haven't any people, and you stayed in that Higbee School at Maiden all the year round vacations and all. The girls didn't like you there any more than they do here. "Ha! Miss Nobody from No-place-at-all! that's what you are!" sneered Nancy's roommate.
