''Ah, but have heard you lament thegood

often wondered, Mr.. Jones, il popular report
is true, and if, among these cliffs or the sur
rounding sandhills, there is buried treasure,

concealed by energetic persons like yourselfY"
William Jones could stand this no longer.
Looking as pale as it was possible for SO ruh-

He struck oil from the path, and fastened,
running rather than walking, toward the
sandhills. So soon as lac was certain that he

too. He plunged among the sandhiils, and
was soon engaged buslly running up and
down them, hiChor and thither. From time

"Now, what in the name of all that is

This was the question the young man asked
himself as he strolled away seward. He
could not persuade himself that he had
