Harland liked llie proiectua. He said that It waa a ripping good story, and Adams heartily agreed with him. They were especially pleased with certain flights of fancy evolved by me in moments of torture more arute than the average. For Instance, I had described a belt niailo of twenty dollar gold pieces around the slender waist of a beautiful girl, and then I had stated that the amount of the yellow metal actually known to exist in tha Gulden Galleon mine would make a belt of that kind large enough to encircle tha moon. How does that figure out? asked Adams doubtfully. "A little more than 7.U8.0M.004," 1 Think It's too much?' replied. "Nobody will bother to calculate It, said Harland. "Let It aland. Tha women will like it." I shuddered. It had not occurred to me before that women might be led to risk their money on the Golden Galleon. My Imagination had pictured men with little, restless eyes and sloping foreheads drawn toward this lure of gold ss rats are drawn toward a trap, more than half aware of the peril, yet unable to resist the promptings of their own greediness and the fragrance of the ba!L. The typical male Investor la barely worthy of sympathy, but to women the passion for gold may be forgiven because they spend it with such delight uion the things which they believe to be beautiful. I was recalled from such thoughts by the voice of Harland aaying: Pass me that check book, Adams, like a good fellow. No, not that one. The third from the bottom of the pile.

Tbe quarter of a mile due rorth was measured and the stone with six horn was found. Fifteen rods north by east was measured and the linn came to the stunted pine tree still known as Capt.
