"And do you mean to tell us now that this description is uscless without the other letter?" the Major demanded with a kird of restrained fury. The priest snrugged. "Ye can judge for yourself," he said "How far would ye get with it? â€" It‘s an islandâ€"but that‘s all we know. He doem‘t even tell ye the shape of itâ€" not that it would be much help if he had!" "Well, I‘ll beâ€"â€"â€"!" the Major bit one word off short. "Of all the utberly insane, utterly. preposterous ideas! What was the junatic thinking about?" was going to buy this estate. Which means that the bulk of it is still thereâ€" and of course it‘s worth more today than when be bought it. Gold is nearâ€" ly doubled the value now." "That was his intention," Father Maloney told her. "He intended to leave ye a full description of where it was. But ssmehow the thing‘s misâ€" carried. Here‘s the description of the actual place all rightâ€"but where is it What‘s happened to this other letter that he told me he‘d sent ye"? "He was still +playing for safety." Toby put in speaking for the first time "He wanted to ensure that no one should get hold of the complete clue during his lifetime, and that only Diâ€" ana should have it when he‘d gone. I can see his idea all right, but it was the way he neglected to carry out his part of it that‘s messed things up." "Well, of all the incredible storie="! he exclaimed, drawing a long breath "Actaually, buried treasure!" "Actually buried treasure", the priest confirmed quietly, "Quite a considerâ€" able sum, I should imagine. As far as I know, he only drew on that cache twiceâ€"once when he made up his mind to go to England, and once when he ~"Andâ€"and, he left it to me?" Diana asked half disbelievingly. "But I still can‘t sse why he coukin‘t have lodged the whole thing with his bank, or with a solicitor, and made a perfectly ordinary will," Diana proâ€" tested. "Surely that would have been the simplest plan?" "He was naturally anxious for you to avoid paying death dutieâ€"which is laudable enough in itself," her father retorted. "I can even sympathize to a certain extent with his childish plan of buying this gold rather than trusting to a bank after having had that one apâ€" palling experience. But what I canâ€" not understand is his insane carelessâ€" ness in carrying out this elaborate plan. Nor can I understand", he added bitâ€" terly, "why he should have gone to so much trouble over you, when he was leaving me to share the proceeds of a miserable estate with the Cuban Govâ€" ernment." "Well, as it happens, you are the luckier, Daddy!" Diana told him rues fully. "It seems that I get nothing after all." "Oh, I wouldn‘t saw that!" Toby expostulated.

Father Maloney told him promptly. "Remember that he had to get to this island and then make Antilla, which lies 50 miles due west for here. TIf he‘d been heading eastward, it would have doubled the length of the trip, for he‘d have had to retrace his course past here to get to Antilla. But that‘s not all. The northâ€"east trades woere blowing which means he‘d have to beat all the way to this islandâ€"and it would take 24 hours to get to the nearest of ‘em in those conditions. (So, its a safe guess that he was heading up for the Bahama cays."‘ "Well, that sounds both reasonable and promising!" Toby pronounced. "And having got so far, the next step is to identify one of thess islands as the one described in this letter, isn‘t it?" ‘"That‘s all!"" the priest agreed dryly. "But that‘s where ye come up against the real Gdifficulty. Once the islands begin, there‘s no end to ‘emâ€"and almos;: any of ‘em would answer this tion! There are diterally thousands of ‘emâ€"mostly small sand cays, covered with serub. Most of ‘em rise only a {ew feet above the surface of the sea, but quite a number have ‘been lived on at "But I‘m afraid that wouldn‘t get ye. much further. On the last occasion when the Captain visited his cache, he left here at dawn, and was in Antilla shortly before noon on the following day. That means he took nearly thirtyâ€"s.x hours to make the trip. ‘Twas in regular Trades weather, and his sloop carries no auxiliary engine, so ye can say with certainty that the isâ€" land can‘t be more than a hundred miles awayâ€"and the chances are that it lies north or northâ€"west from here." "Well naturally, I don‘t know anyâ€" thing about it," Toby admitted, igâ€" noring the sarcas:mn. "But we haveâ€" n‘tâ€" tried anything yet have we?" He turned to Father Maloney, who had been listening to them. "What about this description sir? We know it refers to an island whore the stuff is hidden.. Wouldn‘t it be possible to find out something more about it? â€" How far away it‘s likely to be for example? And in what direction?" The priest shook his head doubtfully. . "I suppose â€"we could. find out those two points approximately," he agreed. . **Nice ~work!" Toby exclaimed enâ€" couragingly. *"But why north or northâ€" west?" â€" "But it must have been described somehow in this other letter," Toby persisted. *"There must ‘be something peculiar about itâ€"something that would set it apart from the rest". ane time or another. Ye could spend a whole lifeâ€" time searching for one parâ€" tiecular island â€"and then not find it." "I doubt it," he said. "Some are bigger than others, of course, and are named on the charts for that reason. The directions probably consisted of the bearing and distance from one of these named cays. It‘s unlikely that he‘d have picked on a big island for they get visited by sponge fishers and the like, and he‘d have wanted to make sure that he‘d have it to himself when he called there." â€"Father Maloney shook doubtfully. "Oh!" Toby muttered disappointedly and there followed a short silence. "But look here!" the Maijior said at last. "How Gdid he think my daughter was going to retrieve this money on her own? As it happens I have some knowâ€" ledge of havigation, but she knows nothâ€" ing about it at all. And as he seems to have ignored me altogether in this precious plan of his . ... " "That would have been for me to arrange", the priest interrupted "He made that clear at the time." "Indeed?" the Major returned susâ€" piciously. "And how would you have set apout it? "There wouldn‘t have been much difâ€" ficulty in that part", Pather Maloney tald him mildly. "The Captain‘s sloop is still here, and the two negroes who acted as his crew are still living aboard her. Icould have got one of the local fishermen to act as navigatorâ€"providâ€" ing the instructions were sufficientâ€" and Td have gone with the party to make sure that no harm befell Miss Salter.

There was another brief silence, and then Toby ‘asked: "What about these negroes? Wouldn‘t they know where the place was? Or didn‘t he take them with him when he went there?" "He took them with him last time," the priest said. "But I doubt whether promptly about it of course, talk about i filtered ba I feel sure 1 it": anyone else Antilla imus! snapp2G that the comes to wasn‘t. posterl it ten it to "Well, in that caseâ€"â€"" Toby began, when the Major cut him short with an exclamation of sullen impatience. "In any case, you‘re merely wasting time in theorising in this fashion!" he snapped sourly. "You don‘t even know that the letter was ever written, if it comes to the point! In my opinion, it wasn‘t. If he‘d written it he‘d have poster it. He probably said he‘d writâ€" ten it to save trouble at the moment. Tt‘s nothing less than a tragedy to think of all that money being lost to us, but unless these negroes know something I can‘t se ‘the remote saloehctfrÂ¥sour can‘t see the remotesit chance of our being able to lay hands on it."

This statement was made today by Dr. Gordon Jackson, Medical Officer of Health for Toronto, whnose department is conducting one of the most extensive and comprehensive surveys ever held (Registered in acordance with Copyright Act.) ; Conduct Survey to Learn Incidence of Tuberculosis to the incidence of tuberulosis among pupils of high school age. The survey is being made in a number of secondary schools in Toronto. "Only the tubercle bacilli can cause | tuberculsis," said Dr. Jackson today. "but overwork, strain, dissipation, hard times, improper food, discouragement. and similar burdens are, the fifth: columnists which prepare the way and: make the path easy for it, l "Of all the deaths from tuberculosis which occurred in Toronto last year, in the age group of 15 to 29 years, 35 pet cent were thoss of females and only 15 per cent were males. It may be noted that in the accepted high school group, 15 to 29 years,\ 35 per cent were those of females and only 15 per cent were males. It may b noted that in the accepted high school group, 15 to 19 years, the deaths were 2% times greater in girls than in boys, and that those yvounger age groups supplied approxiâ€" mately 25 per cent of the total deaths for the city of Toronto." Dr. Jackson was asked to predict how many of the pupils examined in the present survey would have a positive reaction. Said he: "We don‘t know. It shouldn‘t be more than 20 per cent of those tested; it probably won‘t be less than 10 per cent. In 1000 pupils ;that would mean 100 reactions will be found.
