“Uncle, how queer it is that I should know more about your cave than you do!” said Will, grinning foolishly. “It doesn’t seem that you are the same man that picked me up and carried me off.”
“That’s because I’ve visited the tailor and the barber, Will.”
“Well, uncle, if I hadn’t been through the cave that night, we shouldn’t know anything about the money.”
“Money!” cried both men, in a breath.
“Yes,” Will replied. “I found a little pile of money, but so many queer things happened since that I forgot all about it. Come this way, uncle; it is in this room.”
“Your lost fortune!” Mr. Mortimer exclaimed.
“Perhaps,” sighed Uncle Dick.
“If those explorers have not enriched themselves with it!”
But the treasure was found untouched.
