And when I was your age I wa'n't so awful homely, either. I had fellers aplenty hangin' round and I could have married any one of a dozen. This ain't boastin'; land knows I'm fur from that. I was brought up in this town and even when I was a girl at school there was only one boy I cared two straws about. He and I went to picnics together and to parties ...

That day week they were married by a justice of the peace, and returned to Poker Flat.

There is an important economic factor, first analyzed by an American economist (General Walker), and called rent of ability. Now this rent, ...
