Glenn showed Carley how a profitable business could soon be established.

He meant to fence off side canyons and to segregate droves of his hogs, and to raise abundance of corn for winter feed.

At that time there was a splendid market for hogs, a condition Hutter claimed would continue indefinitely in a growing country.

In conclusion Glenn eloquently told how in his necessity he had accepted gratefully the humblest of labors, to find in the hard pursuit of it a rejuvenation of body and mind, and a promise of independence and prosperity.
When he had finished, and excused himself to go repair a weak place in the corral fence, Carley sat silent, wrapped in strange meditation.
Whither had faded the vulgarity and ignominy she had attached to Glenn's raising of hogs?
Gone--like other miasmas of her narrow mind! Partly she understood him now.

She shirked consideration of his sacrifice to his country.
