"Oh, no! it is not that! you must know it is not that," says Mona, in deep grief. "It is that I cannot marry you!"

"Yes, I dare say," says Lady Rodney, who is now wondering when this high-flown visitor will take her departure. "If I am, Warden surely knows more about the will than he has sworn to." "I am so glad you are poor," says Mona. "If you were rich or even well off, I should never consent,—never!" The man who had used the knife scalped his enemy, and slowly, hidden by the grass, crept down the hill that he had just ascended, and when he reached the cover of a low place Mīka´pi rose to his feet and crept away. He had another Snake scalp tied to his belt. His heart was glad, but he was not satisfied..
