go on to Rock Springs without her. It is only a couple of hours from
Green River to Rock Springs, so I had a good nap and a late breakfast.
I did my shopping and was back at Green River at two that afternoon.
The first person I saw was Aggie. She sat in the depot, glowering at
everybody. She had a basket of eggs and a pail of butter, which she had
been trying to sell. She was waiting for the night train, the only one
she could get to Rock Springs. I asked her had she overslept. "No, I
didna," she replied. Then, she proceeded to tell me that, as she had
paid for a whole night's use of a room, she had stayed to get its use.
That it had made her plans miscarry didn't seem to count.

After all our business was attended to, we started for home. The wagons
were half a day ahead of us. When we came in sight, we could see Aggie
fanning the air with her long arms, and we knew they were quarreling. I
remarked that I could not understand how persons who hated each other
so could live together. Clyde told me I had much to learn, and said
that really he knew of no other couple who were actually so devoted. He
said to prove it I should ask Aggie into the buggy with me and he would
get in with Archie, and afterwards we would compare notes. He drove up
alongside of them, and Aggie seemed glad to make the exchange. As we
had the buggy, we drove ahead of the wagons. It seems that Archie and
Aggie are each jealous of the other. Archie is as ugly a little monkey
as it would be possible to imagine. She bemeaned him until at last I
asked her why she didn't leave him, and added that I would not stand
such crankiness for one moment. Then she poured out the vials of her
wrath upon my head, only I don't think they were vials but barrels.

About sundown we made it to where we intended to camp and found that
Mrs. O'Shaughnessy had established a sheep-camp there, and was out with
her herd herself, having only Manny, a Mexican boy she had brought up
