Just as the last wheel passed over the
newsstand on the oorne and the hack was
again on her keel, Paul West said
that it was buried in the park near Fifty
ninth street entrance, and that it was a
beer check.
"A brass beer check!" cried Benny Kahn,
laughing derisively. Why, how could you
know that it is a brass beer check buried

: That's right" said Julie from his perch
beside Madame. who turned out for a car.
Yes, and anybody hat thinks he knows

Bang! A wild shrek came from a hanson
cab, within which two women clutched
other convulsively while the real
wheel of Madame's hack and q wheel Of the
hanson chewed each other and finally set

fash of bright red as Paul West followed his
cravat over two camera men and disap-
down Fiftieth street. Officer Fo-

Madame started up again and began an
earnest whispered conversation with Julie.
After arriving at the Fifty-eighth Street
Theatre the mind reader had Jack O'Leary
and Phil Benedict climb up on the seat be-
side her, and after she had rubbed her hand
over the burying committees various
hrows she announced that she would then
drive over the course they had taken the
day before and find the buried treasure.

Jack O'Leary to keep his mind concern
upon the reasure and the spot where

procession got near the bottom Of the in

sighed TREMENDOUSLY. Benny Kahn stopped
breathing. A dog howled in the distance.
Slowly the mind reader brushed the only
bare spot under the bush. Many times her
hands worked over the soil, when suddenly

the earth she drew out the beer check and
with a gasp sank back insensible.

when he could get his breath.
