"Good by, dear Paul," says Mona, very gently, impressed by his evident grief and earnestness. "It was the last line," says Mona, in explanation, clearly ashamed of herself, yet unable wholly to subdue her merriment. "It reminded me so much of that speech about tea, that they always use at temperance meetings; they call it the beverage 'that cheers but not inebriates.' You said 'that warms but not illumines,' and it sounded exactly like it. Don't you see!" With Lady Rodney she will, I think, be always the favorite daughter. She is quite her right hand now.

Violet and Dorothy will no doubt be dear; but Mona, having won it against much odds, will ever hold first place in her affections..

"Go back once more," said the young man, "and tell Three Bulls to send me that young woman." This old woman had a kind heart. She made him moccasins—seven pairs; and gave him also a sack of food—pemican, dried meat, and back fat. Seeing the poor child's terrible fear and anxiety, and that she is completely overwrought, he gives way, and lets her have the desired promise. But now the poor old grandmother was afraid. "I dare not tell him that," she exclaimed. "He would kill me, and you. His anger would be fearful.".
