Early next day the Blackfeet women began to take down the lodge and to get ready to move their camp. Many women came and made them presents of food, dried meat, pemican, and berries. They were given so much that they could not take it all with them. It was long before they joined the main camp, for it had moved south, looking for buffalo. Some time elapses before he speaks again, and Mona is almost hoping he may have fallen into a quiet slumber, when he opens his eyes and says, regretfully,— He has never told her that his eldest brother is a baronet. Why he hardly knows, yet now he does not contradict her when she alludes to him as Mr. Rodney. Some inward feeling prevents him. Perhaps he understands instinctively that such knowledge will but widen the breach that already exists between him and the girl who now walks beside him with a happy smile upon her flower-like face..

Passing his arm round her, he draws her closer to him. "What has Mr. Moore to do with you?" he asks, haughtily. "Who is he, that he should so speak to you?" This eulogy on the departing Larry she delivers with much unction, and a good deal of check apron in the corner of one eye. "Mona, can you manage to get home by some short way by yourself?
