When this procession entered Meeker's yard, Blue was lagging behind. "Blue, how air y'u?" called Blaisdell, with concern. "Wal, I got my boots on anyhow," replied Blue, huskily. He lurched into the yard and slid down on the grass and stretched out. "Man! Y'u're hurt bad!" exclaimed Blaisdell.
From above a line of bottles on the prescription desk the clerk's bald head gleamed, his eyes dodging between them. "It's all right," Garland muttered; "I'm through," and shambled to the door with its jangling bell. In his room at Mrs. Meeker's he threw himself dressed on the bed. The shade was up and through the window he could see the long flank of the new building and above it a section of sky.
But Honora continued to go to the dancing class, where she treated Mr. Meeker with a hauteur that astonished him, amused Virginia Hayden, and perplexed Cousin Eleanor. Mr. Meeker's cringing soul responded, and in a month Honora was the leading spirit of the class, led the marches, and was pointed out by the little dancing master as all that a lady should be in deportment and bearing.
"Because, Honora," she said, "because I am a person of no importance in Mr. Meeker's eyes." "If I were a man," cried Honora, fiercely, "I should never rest until I had made enough money to make Mr. Meeker wriggle." "Honora, come here," said her aunt, gazing in troubled surprise at the tense little figure by the mantel. "I don't know what could have put such things into your head, my child.
His brother is one of the proprietors of the Meeker mill, and they have all tried to bulldoze Landon, our ranger over there. By the way, you'll like Landon. He's a Harvard man, and a good ranger. His shack is only a half-mile from Meeker's house. It's a pretty well-known fact that Alec Belden is part proprietor of a saloon over there that worries the Supervisor worse than anything.
You told me two or three weeks ago about the way you tricked Darby Meeker and sent him to Sierra City." And she smiled at the recollection of Darby Meeker's discomfiture. "Oh, yes," I said, with a laugh that sounded distressingly hollow to my ears. "That was a capital joke on Meeker." Here was a fine pack of predicaments loosed on my trail.
Meeker's. He leaned from the front steps and looked over the fence; the separation between the two walls was not more than two or three feet. His room was on the top floor in the back, and gaining it, he jerked up the shade and looked out. Formerly a row of dreary yards extended to the houses in the rear.

Meeker's stable, wherein she kept her horse and cart, the one relic saved from better days, stood out darkly picturesque amid the frosted silver of vines. He saw nothing of all this, only the black skeleton which would soon be astir with the life he shunned. He drew down the shade and dropped heavily into a chair, his feet sprawled, his chin sunk on his breast.
I went with Bert and Miss Forsyth up in the mountains. We took our lunch and had a perfectly lovely time." "I'm glad somebody had a good time. I got away at nine o'clock and came over to Meeker's and you weren't there; so I rode the rim-rocks till sundown, trying to locate yuh. It's easier hunting strays in the Bad Lands."
