I—" her lips tremble, her breath comes fitfully—"I can bear no more just now." "Bribed him?" says Mona, in an indescribable tone. The Blackfeet believe that the Sun made the earth—that he is the creator. One of the names by which they call the Sun is Napi—Old Man. This is how they tell of the creation: As Mona gazes at him half fearfully, he raises himself suddenly on his elbow, and says, in a tone far stronger than he has yet used,—.
