that we had been so kindly disposed TO
the unhappy old creature, who now con-
tinued, complacently:
"Well, must be going now, But l
cannot take much OF the gold In my
apron for fear l shall fall down this
steep place aud break my ola bones. l
will go back and get bag, fiji it and
throw it down. Then can drag it TO
the cabin.'
While she talked she ciasped splen-
did diamond necklace about her skinny,
yellow neck, and, gathering up the cor
nerS Of her apron, proceeded to scram-
ole down from her perch, an operation
attended with some risk for one so old
and intirm.
She wounded herself several times on
the sharp projections OF rock, but in
her citation seemed all unconscious Of
her pain. Finally reaching the ground,
aud clutching her lantern in one hand
and her apron OF gold in the other, she
tottered from the scene, much to our
relief, for we were cramped and stiff
from crouching in one place so long.
Now was our opportunity.
We emerged from the alcove, whis-
pering gladly to each other, and l as
sisted Elsie TO climb up the projection,
handed up the lantern, then followed
myself, almost dazed with JOY, and wild
with anxiety to gaze on the long hidden
treasures Of my Tory ancestor.
And, on, what feast they were to
our delighted eyes. Elsie and l often
talk of that night when we gazsd so ad-
miringly on the store OF gold and silver
plate, the jewels fine enough for a
queen, the quantity OF gold coin. 1t
seemed TO me that the value OF all these
could not be less than a million dollars.
