"Tell your boy to go to the kitchen," says Mona, thoughtfully, and, Paddy being disposed of, she and Geoffrey go on to the house. The next day Scarface went on again, stopping now and then to rest and to pick berries, and when night came he was at the bear's lodge. "Your advice is excellent," says he, sneeringly. Then suddenly he stops short before her, and breaks out vehemently,——.
