What A Change This Town Scene Is From the Dry Desert!
….Here => Instead of a Mountain Pass, We Get Our Scenery Break at a Town.
….Chris Has Gumption => Immediately, Without Any Help, He Continues His Letter To His Mother

….“At Prairie City we’re out of the mountain forests again and into a dry-land town with a wide main street that looks right down through the center of the town and onto the prairie beyond it. We try one restaurant, but it’s closed. We go across the broad street and try another. The door’s open, we sit down and order malted milks. While waiting, I get the outline of the letter Chris was preparing for his mother and give it to him. To my surprise he works on it without many questions. I sit back in the booth and don’t disturb him. “ (Cont.Next)
