Next morning the wife and the little boy went out to dig roots, and the woman took the root digger with her, while the dog followed the little boy. Then she closed the smoke hole. The smoke began to fill the top of the lodge. It settled lower and lower. Broken Bow was afraid. "Throw them away," said his father; "throw them both away.

"The man is eccentric, no matter what Geoffrey may say," is Mona's first thought, when she has perused it carefully for the second time. Then the belief that it may have something to do with the restoration of the lost will takes possession of her, and makes her heart beat wildly. Yes, she will go; she will keep this appointment whatever comes of it. "I do not understand," she says, very proudly, throwing up her head with a charming gesture.
