"Bridget," says Mona, "will you go in and get me a cup of tea before I go to bed? I am tired." "Ye—es; he will do," says Mona, after a second's careful thought, and even now reluctantly. In those days the old Piegans lived in the north, close to the Red Deer River. The camp moved, and the lodges were pitched on the river.

He takes little trouble about anything, certainly none to make himself popular, yet in all the countryside no man is so well beloved as he is. It is true that a kindly word here, or a smile in the right place, does more to make a man a social idol than substantial deeds of charity doled out by an unsympathetic hand. This may be unjust; it is certainly beyond dispute the fact. "Oh, no," says Mona, gently; "only I should like you better, of course, if you were not the cause of our undoing."

It covers her head completely, and is tied under the chin Connemara fashion, letting only a few little love-locks be seen, that roam across her forehead, in spite of all injunctions to the contrary. "No, I am not. Anything but that; and to be rude"—slowly—"answers no purpose. But I have some common sense, I hope.".
