were days when the heat was too great
to move, and at the end of three weeks
we had finished only a quarter of the
work. 1t was then decided to change
the plan and let each man search as
ne would; but a fourth week passed,
and we were just where we were at the
start.
We would have given up now but for
a flying visit from the captains man,
who reported that "Col. Bounce
had quit the place and left the city.
He had purchased, a. horse and a quanti-
ty of provisions, and there was reason
TO believe that he would show up in the
hills and seek the treasure cave We at
once moved our camp and set a watch
for the man. Two days later he showed
up and went into camp about a mile
away. He had no reason to suspect our
presence, as we were supposed to have
gone north for tigers; but he was play

chances. Our men had an eye on him

planned that he was camping out for his
health, and he did little but sleep and
cat. We had to hang about the camp to
be ready to take up his trail, and the call
came at an unexpected hour. One night
at midnight he rose up and started
off along the hills to the north, carry
ing in his hand what our men, took to
be a stick. Instead Of following his
man the spy came to arouse us, and Of
course we realized that It was no use
searching in the darkness.
Something came of the movement,
however. The spy FASTENED back to find
the man just returning. His walk had
lasted while the other had run four
miles and talked with us for five min
ufes. That would mean notmuch more
than a mile out. He had no stick in his
hand on returning; and was evidently
much elated over something. The spy
saw him take from his luggage a stout
English satchel and carefully inspect
it: two or three times he rose up and
seemed on the point Of leaving camp
again. He sleptno more that might, but
walked about uneasily; and when the
report was made to US we knew that
he had found the ave and was about
ready to appropriate the contents. He
