The city OF Indore lies in the central
province OF India. on the northern side
OF the vindya mountains. and iistamt
from Bombay about 300 miles. Among
the foothills OF the mountains are the
ruins OF what was once the largest
temple In India. These ruins were
known to and visited by British sol
Giers long before the great mutiny. Lrt
II was not until about the year 1Sf:l.
when the English had II firm grip ON
the country again. that vague runners
OF hidden treasure became known.
Low IL started no one conld recall. but
Il was generally believed that a rajah
had sccreted vast store OF gems in
the ruins during the mutiny. As he
was among the slain the gems still lay
hidden where his own han Is had
placed them.
year after the mutlny had been
queiled the government sent ont n
searching party after this wealth. but
after spending month among the
ruins II gave up the quest. Then proc
lamation WAS made Offering half to the
finder. but no one came forward. Still

During the next two weeks the tiger

the commissioner free to work his plan.
Two days later. accompanied by two

As soon as IL was an tablished fact
that tiger had taken up his quarters
amid the ruins a dozen officers planned

tiger story--that is. he half agreed with
the natives that the beast had been sent

no doubt that he would soon be killed

treasure. He had seen strong box
