Billy, despair in his heart, followed. All fear of the supernatural was gone from him now, crowded out by bitter disappointment at his failure to find the hidden gold. He passed close beside the haunted house without so much as a thought of the ghost of the man who had owned it and on through the silent pines and shadowy, grave-yard silence.,"I don't believe it.",Father and Mother sat in the study, Mother with her handkerchief in her hand and with red eyes.,Billy peeped under the cover, not heeding the little girls’ protest. “Golly, May Nell! The Queen of Sheba won’t be in it ’long side of you.”,"O Death! thou strange, mysterious power, seen every day yet never understood but by the incommunicative dead, what art thou?"，The tunnel was absolutely straight and could not have been carved more evenly through the mountain by the machinery of man. So swift was the current that the boat had had no choice but to go in a straight line, and so wide was the tunnel that there was slim chance of interference with its walls. The boys were so thankful that they were approaching the end of the cavern and its darkness that neither thought of picking up the oars which were still dangling idly alongside the boat. They sat as if fascinated, watching the opening grow larger and larger.，Feather-in-the-Wind, while preserving his customary dignity, was genuinely sorry to see him go.，And placing his battered hat jauntily on his scanty locks, Harry picked up his jug and was lost amid the shadows."Why, Mona?"
