"No,—no aunt," returns Rodney, speaking the solemn truth, yet conveying a lie: "I have not been blessed with maiden aunts wallowing in coin." "What does he say about the moon?" asks Mona, still with her knees in her embrace, and without lifting her eyes from the quiet waters down below.

"Yes, let us," says Mona, gayly. "No," said Scarface; "I supposed some one had left them there, and I did not touch them." Her confusion, however, and the fact that no one else is near, betrays the secret she fain would hide. Then Fisher said to the people, "Pack up your things now and get ready to cross. I will make a place where you can cross easily.".
