selective draft law has brought happi-
Aess and renewed energy to many an
underpaid bluecoat.
A wilful delinquent, under draft board
rulings, Is too cowed to tight person
who has resigtered for the draft but has
failed therenfter to file his questionnaire.
Not all humans who have registered but
purposely have fallen down on the ques-

To the greater honor and glory of the
city, State and nation it can be said that
even the most tireless cops who are now
combing the city are not finding very
good hunting. Nevertheless an occasional
wiiful delinquent Is flushed and bagged
along one of the myriad trails of the

All that day, or during most of 1t, at
least, Rosa and O'Reilly sat hand In
hand, oblivious of hunger and fatigue,
impatient for the coming of night,
keyed to the highest tension. Now they
would rejoice Historically, assuring
each other Of their good fortune, again
they would grow sick with the fear Of
disappointment. Time after time they
stepped out Of the hut and stared ap-
p~rehensively up the slopes of La Cum

noon to sleep, but he could not, for the
moment he closed his eyes he found
himself back there ir that pit upon the

born rocks and slippery timbers. This

O'Reilly, stupeied by the sudden ap-
pearance Of this monstrous creature,
stunned by the certainty of q catas-
trophe to Rosa, awoke TO the fact that
this man intended to brain him where
he stood. In n panic he cast his eyes
about him, thinking to take shelter in
the treasure-cave, but that retreat vas
closed to him, for he had wedged the
wooden timbers together at the first
alarm. He was like q rat in a pit, ut
terly at the mercy of this maniac. And
Cobo was q maniac ut the moment; he
had so far lost control Of himself as to
allow the stone to slip out of his grasp.

causing the assassin to laugh once

"Your pardon, my colonel. They
came back In a cold sweat, and they
spent the night on their knees. The
woman was there again. You have
seer the salt sea at night? Well, her
face vas aglows like that, so they said.
They heard the clanking Of chains, too,
and the sound Of hammers, coming
from the very bowels of the earth. 1t
is oil plain enough, when you know
the story. But it is terrifying"
"This Is indeed amazing" Cobo ac-
k~nowledged, "but of course there is
some simple explanation. Spirits. If
indeed there are such things, are made
of nothing-they are like thin air.
How, then, could they rattle chains?
You probably saw some wretched pa
cificos in search of food and imagined
the rest"
"Indeed! Then what did I hear with
these very ears? Whispers, murmurs,
groans, and the clinkety-clink Of old
Sebastian's chisel. For his sins that
old slave is chained in some cavern of
the mountain. Soundless! I'm no
baby! I know when I'm asleep, and !
know when I'm awake. That place Is
accused, and I want no more Of It,"
Cobo fell into frowning meditation,
allowing his cigarette to smolder down
until 1t burned his thick fingers. He
was not a superstitious man and he
put no faith in the supernatural, new
ertheless he was convinced that his
sergeant was not lying, and reference
to Pancho Cueta had set his mind to
working along strange channels. He
had known Cueto well, and the latter's
stubborn belief in the existence of that
Varona treasure had more than once
impressed him. He wondered now If
others shared that faith, or If by
chance they had discovered a clue to
the whereabouts Of the money and
were conducting a secret search. 1t
was a fantastic idea. nevertheless.
Oobo told himself that If people were

It was with some object, and their ac-
tons would warrant observation. The

O'Reilly's uptur1ed face was ghast-

whisper Rosa's name.
''The riches of the Varonas! What a
find" Cobo'S teeth shone white in the
grin Of avarice. "Yes, l see nova

you are the spirit Of Sebastian, chained
in the bowels of La Cumbre. Ha !
These are the ghosts" He began to

CobO ran on u~nheeding: at must be
a great treasure, indeed, from all ac-
counts-the ansom of a dozen kings.
That's what Cueto said, The ransom Of

words"
The fellow continued to sway him

eyes were about to leave his head. For
n long moment or two he utterly disre-
garded O'Reilly, but finally as he
gained more self-control his gaze shift
