Senior Poritol uttered a little cry ol

the letters on the bill. waved hin

After a few moments Orme looked

Senior Poritol was fustered. why,

which is very rich in the resources of
nature. In the unsettled interior are
very great mineral deposits which are
little known, and since the day when

What was his manner" asked Orme.

promptly; and Orme knew that the
answer might as well have been
Smith. But the little man returned
quickly to his story.
My friend had no strength left. He
was, oh. so weak that wept to see him.
But he sent the doctor and the priest
out OF the room, and then-and then
he whispered in my ear a secret. He
had discovered rich gold in the Uri-
naba country. He had been trying to
earn money to go back and dig up the
gold. But, alasl now he was dying,
and he wished to give the secret to

less much was at stake. Perhaps
Poritol was Alcatrante's tool and had
bungled some important commission.

"One other suggestion" continued
Alcatrante. You may not be willing
to give up the bill. but is there any
reason why you should refuse to let
Senior Poritol copy the writing that
is on it?"
"Only my determination to think

the vessels on the lake. But his mind
was not on the unfolded view before
him. He was puzzling over this pys.
terry in which he had co suddenly be.

five-dollar bill held the key to some
serious problem.
Surely Alcatrante had not come
