The under-world seems always to be over-populated and valued accordingly. But progress in the High School, by rigorous enforcement of the survival of the fittest, brings ultimately a chance for identity. Emmy Lou, a survivor, found a personality awaiting her in her Sophomore year. Henceforth she was to be Miss MacLauren. The year brought further distinction.
And yet there was nothing about Master Cuthbert's early conduct to indicate that he properly appreciated his good fortune.

But I rather like it, when it's not over-populated. There will be a great deal for me to do in my garden teaching young plants self-control." "Gardens freeze up, Shiela." "Yes, that is true." "But you'll have good shooting " "I will never again draw trigger on any living thing!" "What? The girl who " "No girl, now a woman who can never again bring herself to inflict death." "Why?"
For Windy, with the story-teller's instinct, knew marvellous enough would sound the bare recital of those awful Dawson days when the unprecedented early winter stopped the provision boats at Circle, and starvation stared the over-populated Klondyke in the face.
