She acts more like a boy, the way she goes rushing around with Alan." "I like her, though," said Jessie. "She isn't so bad," answered Katharine thoughtfully; "she's a good-hearted little thing, even if she isn't like the Omaha girls. I do like Alan, though, Jessie; don't you?

And the freight wagons for New Mexico plied between Leavenworth and Kansas City, and Santa Fe, over the old Santa Fe Trail. There were yet no railroads across the plains.
