Bed 92 THE LOST CACHE. it possible that gold might be found among these mountain- streams and gulches.” “Tt is a strange idea, but more wonderful things have been heard of. Have you made any discoveries ?” “Not yet; we have been fully occupied with more exciting business. We shall soon be obliged, of course, to return to” + St. Louis, but I must say, for my own part, that the result of the journey has completely satisfied me thus far.” After this conversation, Mr. Brainard regarded Harry Che- nault with more suspicion, and doubted whether the character of that Young gentleman would bear a close inquiry. The subject of his daughter and her lover did not shut out the remembrance of his lost cache, did not lessen his anxiety concerning his hid treasure. As soon as he felt well and strong again, he held a consulta- tion with Téte Bois, his confidant and right-hand man, to whom he opened the subject that was then nearest to his heart. Although the half-breed was well acquainted with the character of Burt Adams, respected the prowess of the outlaw, and considered him a dangerous opponent, he had not that superstitious fear of him, with which Farrar and Green seemed to be imbued, and he only longed for an opportunity to meet and punish the renegade. Therefore, he was willing and ready to assist his employer, and to assent fully to his arguments. — “ We must go to work, Téte Bois,” said Mr. Brainard, “ for we have lost a great deal’of time, though I suppose it is not our fault.’ I am sure that I was near the.cache when we were interrupted by the onslaught of the Indians. I can easily find the spot again, and with your assistance, can recover my gold. I suppose you are not now troubled about Burt. Adams.” “?Spect Burt Adams has been rubbed out or laid up,” an- swered the half-breed. “’Spect his Injins won’t want to fight much, after bein’ whipped three times.” “Jt will be easy enough for us, then, to go down into the | cafion, and search for my cache. I have more reason, now, to with for that gold, shen I had before—a cameesi which I need not explain to you.” = “ Téte Bois is ready, and Burt Adams and all his Injins can’t scare him.” ° COMICOOOKS.<COM —
