When Huck makes his own decisions on things he feels are wrong it shows the development of his own opinions and moral system that's not based on what others believe. He takes back the money because he knows that what the Duke and Dauphin are doing is wrong. Huck realizes that this money belongs to the daughters but his plan to return it is ruined when the money is potentially sealed up in the coffin with Mr. Wilk. I think that even though Huck meant to return it to the daughters, they gold is probably safest with Mr. Wilk, for it is out of the hands of the two criminals.
Another point in Hucks transformation is when he decides to tell Mary Jane about who the men are. I dont think that Huck wouldve done this if he didnt see Mary Jane crying in her room about the slaves being seperated. A drawback in Hucks development is that he didnt feel the same sympathy about the family being separated that Mary Jane did, even though it is obviously upsetting. His feelings towards the beautiful girl prompted him to share the identities of the men. Even though he may have not done it for the best reasons, he still helped the daughters.
