"What? Are there two?"
"Sure."
"You don't mean it. Do you know that is just what I was wondering. You certainly know San Francisco better than I do, Governor."
Old King Brady smiled.
"Oh, I can't lay claim to have been in possession of the knowledge for any length of time," he said, and went on to explain.
"Singular that I should have been seized with the same idea," remarked Harry. "Alice, how does it strike you? Can this and not the regulation North Beach be the place?"
"Easily," replied Alice. "Skeep Hup knows nothing of San Francisco, remember. When she said North Beach, she was only repeating what she had read in her grandfather's letter. She told me that the letter stated that the house was a little frame affair standing back under the bluff, and that it had a green door; that there were other houses near it and that all had been abandoned."
"Hello!" exclaimed Harry. "You did not mention the green door before."
"Didn't I? Then it must have slipped my mind. But when one comes to think of it, no Chinaman in his senses would ever think of hiding money anywhere around North Beach, San Francisco."
"Dr. Garshaski seems to have been as badly deceived as ourselves," observed Harry.
