The girl clapped her hands and
laughed with delight. "Do hurry, dear !;

ment is like steel, and I'm afraid of
breaking my crowbar."
Rosa found leaf, folded kiss into
1T, and dropped it to him. "That will
give you strength" she declared.

while and he was incredulous when
Jacket came to warn him that daylight
was less than an hour away. "Why, 1
haven't startedW he protested. He
discovered, much 20 his surprise, that
he was ready to drop from fatigue
and that his hands were torn and blis-
tered; when he had climbed the rope
to the upper air he fell exhausted in
the deep grass. "I-I'm not myself at
ALL" he apologlzed; nothing to eat,
you know. But the work will go faster
now, for I've made beginning"
''Do you still think-"Rosa hesitated
to voice the question which trembled
on her lips.
'I'll know for sure tonight" He
directed Jacket to replace the planks
over the well; then the three of them
stole away.
O'Reilly spent most of that day in
profound stupor of exhaustion,
while Rosa watched anxiously over
him. Jacket, 1t seemed, had peacefully
slumbered on picket duty, so he occu-
pied himself by grinding away at his
knife. The last scraps Of food dis
appeared that evening.
When night fell and 1t came time to
return to the top of La Cumbre,
O'Reilly asked himself if his strength
would prove sufficient for the task in
hand. He was splritless, sore, weak /;
he ached In every bone and muscle,
and it required all his determination
to prOpel himself up the hill. He won
dered if he were wise thus to sacrifice
his waning energies on hope so for
lOrn as this, but by now he had begun
to more than half believe In the exist
ence of the Varona treasure and he felt
an almost irresistible curiosity to learn
what secret, If any, was concealed be-
hind those water-soaked timbers at the
bottom of the well. He realized, of
course, that every hour he remained
here, now that food and money we're
gone, lessened the chances OF escape /;
but, on the other hand, he reasoned,
with equal force, that if he had indeed
stumbled upon the missing hoard sal
walton for all Of them was assured.
The stake, it seemed to him, was worth
the hazard.
Given tempered tools to work with,
It would lave been no great undertake
ing to tear down that cemented wall of
stones, but armed with nothing except
his bare hands and that soft iron
bar, O'Reilly spent nearly the whole
night at his task. Long before the
last rock had yielded, however, he be-
held that which caused him to turn a
strained face upward to Rosa.
''There's little door, as sure as you
live" he told her.

his need for this unusual article,
O'Rellly linked arms with the boy and
set out TO climb La Cumbre. When
at last they stood In the unused quarry
and Johnnie made known his intention
to explore the old well, Jacket re-
gnrded him with undisguised amaze
ment.
"What do you expect to find down
thereT" the latter inquired.
ITO tell you the truth, / don't really
expect to find anything" the man con-
fessed. "NOw that I'm here, I'm he
ginning to feel silly; nevertheless, I'm
going to have a look for the hidden
treasure of the VarOnas."

expression 1t was plain that he feared
his friend was mildly mad. Even after
O'Reilly had told him something about
old Don Esteban's missing riches, he
secuted the story. He peeped inqulsi-
lively into the dark opening of the
well, then he shook his head. "Ca-
rambai What an ideal Was this old
man crazy, to throw his money away7"
"He-he had more than he knew
what to do with, and he wished to
save 1t from the Spaniards," O'Reilly
explained lamely.
"Humph! Nobody ever had more
money than he wanted" The boys dis
gust at such credulIty was plain. ''This
well looks just like any other, only
deeper; you'd better look out that you
don't break your neck like that fool
lsh old woman, that Donna What's
Her-Name."
O'Reilly did indeed feel that he was
making himself ridiculous; neverthe-
less, he made the rope fast and swung
himself down out of the sunlight, leav-
ing Jacket to stand guard over him.
Perhaps fifteen minutes later he reap
peared, painting from his exertions.
He was wet, Shiny; his clothes were
streaked and stained with mud.
Jacket began to laugh shrilly at his
appearance.
'Hal What a big lizard is this |!
Your beautiful garments are spoiled.
And the treasure? Where is it?" The
lad was delighted. He bent double
with mirthI he slapped his bare legs
and stamped his feet in glee.
O'Rellly grinned good-naturedly,
and replaced the planks which had
covered the oriflce, then hid the rope
in some nearby bushes. On their way
back he endured his young friends
banter absent-minded1y, but as they
neared AsensiO's house ne startled
jacket By saying, "Can you manage
to find Iickax or a crowbar"
Jackets eyes opened; he stopped in
the middle of the dusty road. "What
did you see down there, compadre?
Tell me-"
Nothing much. Just enough to
make me want to see more. Do you
think you can steal some sort of a
tool for meT'

'Please do. And remember, say
nothing before Asensio or his wife,"
Rosa met O'Reilly just inside the
door, and at sight of her he uttered
an exclamation of surprise, for during
his absence she had removed the stain
