"What, indeed?" says Geoffrey, tragically. "Worse still, what would have become of poor Mona?" This old woman, by hard work and sacrifice, had managed to rear the boys.

They never had new, brightly painted calf robes, like other children. They went barefoot in summer, and in winter their toes often showed through the worn out skin of their moccasins. They had no flesh. Their ribs could be counted beneath the skin; their cheeks were hollow; they looked always hungry. "I will," says the girl, impulsively, with quick tears in her eyes.

"There," said the swans; "you are now close to the Sun's lodge. Follow that trail, and soon you will see it." The woman called again, "No, no; do not go on; come now and wrestle once with me." "Hear me," he says, passionately: "if I am worsted in this fight—and I see no ray of hope anywhere—I am a ruined man. I shall then have literally only five hundred a year that I can call my own. No home; no title. And such an income as that, to people bred as you and I have been, means simply penury. All must be at an end between us, Dorothy. We must try to forget that we have ever been more than ordinary friends.".
