The whole class and some of the big boys envied him his possession of that stamp and had begged and begged for it; but not one of them should get it, no indeed!,The girl's eyes grew wider and wider with wonderment. "Isn't it strange?" she half whispered, "and beautiful?","I should never be afraid of him," returns Mona. "He has kind eyes. He is"—slowly and meditatively—"very like you.","No," said Jen, in an inflexible voice. "I go to punish the man who killed my boy."，"I didn't mean that, and I never hint," exclaims Mona, angrily; "and if you insist on the truth, if I must explain to you what I particularly desire to keep secret, you——"，"What on earth is a shin?" puts in Geoffrey, sotto voce.，"Do not take her away yet,—not yet," he says, in a faint whisper.Recovery of the stolen goods caused considerable excitement in the Settlement. For a week or so nothing else was talked of and conjecture ran rife as to why the thieves had not made off with their pillage rather than hide it in the haunted house. Harry O'Dule came in for a plenty of praise for the part he had played in finding the loot but beyond hinting that the job had been more than easy for the seventh son of a seventh son, he was reticent on the subject.
