just on top of the ridge; the river running be-
side it is not so near as it looks; it's seventy
yards away by the map; but on the ground
there's two hundred yards of slope. and then
two thousand feet, which, being sheer, doesn't
show. It's mountain running just up to the
snow-line; it's really only on the last thousand
feet that there's any snow at all. If you follow
that track that I've marked, it's perfectly
easy climbing; you never need to use your
hands at all. Those are villages dotted about
on the slope. And he showed me several
quite near the top of the ridge.
"'You 60 up there he went on, the last
bit through the snow, and you come to the
top of the mountain, which is in the form of
a ridge, with snow of course on the other
side the same as it is on the near, and
slightly sleeper slope; but at the very top,
where I've made that mark, is little cliff
of from ten to twenty feet, facing back the
other way with the snow at its feet, and
looking out over land of which no one seems
to know anything. 1t only runs for two or
three hundred yards; the rest is snow on both
sides so you have no difficulty in going
over the ridge. The cliff begins there where
I've marked it, and it's all full of emeralds.'

to me, attributing the unlikeliest origin that
he could think of to the emeralds.
"Yes, my father practically left them to
