no EEKING for treasure" The
words are as a magnet In the
Al power they have over the
minds Of men. Let an eX-
plorer come home to tell OF gold
mines. of gems. and OF pearls to be
found in some region of utter desola-
ton. amid peril, discomfort and soil
tude, and the great and small, gentle
and simple rush in thousands over
seas in pursuit of the golden spoil
Perhaps nowhere has the romance of
seeking treasure been kept so actively
alive as in the northern gold-produc-
ing regions of North America.
Even stranger than fiction is the
tale told BY Charles Mcleod, as Ed
monitor prOspeCtor, who, while leading
a party of gOld-seekers through the
wastes of the northwest section or
British Columbia. stumbled over the
bones of his two brothers and hit upon
a location OF auriferOus quartz now
bringing him in a colossal fortune.
One night in 1905. while making
camp" with his fellOw-prospectors,
Mcleod found traces of an old camp
fire in the forest nearby, and in idle
curiosity began to scrape among the
ashes and bids of charred wood, pres
emily to find on the trunk of pine
. near at hand an inscription consisting
of the date. May. 1905" and the I'M
tails of his two brothers, who had
been missing for several years. Later

skeletons under a tree a little distance
off the trail. and not far from the ,ree
Mcleod picked up watch, which he
/ at once recognized as having belong
ed to his brother Frank.
/ On the trees in the vicinity being
| closely examined a "blazed" trunk
was found with much carving, bu,

managed 10 make out sufficient &c

that true?'
Yes, but l don't see why you are
questioning me, or why you have
brought me here. If you've got any
charge tc make against me, why dont
you take me to a police station. i
""Thatn be about enough of that,
Jim interrupted. You'll see the inside
of a station soon enough. Now,
where's that girl that came here with
you?
"Withers whirled Then his face set.
There wasn't any girl he
snapped.
Wasn't there? Are you sure about
that? You came here with her, then
YOU told her that you didn't care for
her any more and that she could go.
Isn't that the truth?
"Withers did not answer.
You told her that you were fond
of another and that she could get out
of the way. Answer me-
Still no response came from the
man before us. Jim fidgeted in his
chair.

game She knew something on you.
didn't She? Withers seemed to shit
in his chair a bit. She knew some
thing on you and she was going TO
tell the other woman about it. Isn't
that the truth; isn't it?'
"Withers looked at Jim with dull
ewes. His hands clasped and unclasped
nervously. He ran his tongue about
on his dry lips. He raised his head
as if he were choking. But he gave
forth no sound. Jim's face grew red.
You're going to tell me the truth,
he beloved And you're going TO do
It right now. Now. you answer my
questions!'
