THE GOLD OF THE GODS pv A DTUT TO I DT?T7T7"r? (A Mystery of the Incaa Sohed by nS51 AKlrlUK IS. VI Crafe Kenidy, Scientific Detective)

. She stopped short,' seeming to enjoy the surprised look on our faces at finding that she was willing to discuss the matter so intimately, i "After the Indian bad shown the Spaniard the treasure in the mound," .she pursued, "the Indian told the Spaniard that he had given him only the kittle fish, the peje chlca, but that some iday he would give him the big fish, the peje grande. I see that you already know at least a part of the story, anyhow." , "Yes." admitted Kennedy, "I do .know something of it. But I should (rather get it most accurately from ;your Hps than from the hearsay of any Cne else." She smiled quietly to herself. "I don't believe," she added, "that you know that the peje grande was not ordinary treasure. It was temple 'gold. Why, some of the temples were literally plated over heavily with pure gold. 'That gold, as well as what bad been buried in the huacas, was sacred. Mansiche, the supreme ruler, laid a curse on It, on any Indian who would tell of It, on any Spaniard who might learn of ft. A curse lies on the finding yes, even on tbe searching for the acred Gold of the Gods. It is one of the most awful curses that have ever been uttered, that curse of Mansiche." Even as she spoke of It she lowered her voice. I felt that no matter bow much education she had, there lurked back In her brain some of the primitive Impulses, as well as beliefs. Either the curse of Mansiche on tho treasure was as real to her as if its mere touch were poisonous, or else she was going out of her way to create that Impression with us. "Somehow," she continued, in a low tone, "that Spaniard, the ancestor of tDon Luis Mendoza, obtained some idea of the secret. He died," she said solemnly, flashing a glace at Craig from her wonderful eyes to stamp the Idea lndellbly."He was stabbed by one of tbe members of the tribe. On the dagger, so I have heard, was marked the secret of the treasure." , rpus 12th and Main Special For -Friday & Sat.

I felt that in a bygone ago she might have made a great priestess of; tbe heathen gods. Now, was she more than a clever actress? . . She paused, then added, "That Is my tribe my family." , Again she paused. . 'Tor centuries the big fish was a secret, is still a secret or, at least, was until some one got it from my brother down in Peru. The tradition and the dagger had been intrusted to him. I don't know how it happened. Somehow he seemed to grow crazy until he talked. The dagger was stolen from him. How it happened, how It came into Professor Norton's hands, I do not know. "But, at any rate," she continued, in the same solemn tone, "the curse has followed it. After my brother had told the secret of the dagger and lost it, hia mind left him. He threw himself one day into Lake Titicaca." He voice broke dramatically in ber passionate outpouring of the tragedies that htfd followed the hidden treasure and the Inca dagger. "Now, here In New York, comes this awful death of Senor Mendoza," she cried. "I don't know, no one knows, whether he had obtained the secret cf the gold or not At any rate, he must have thought he had it He has been killed suddenly, in his own home. That Is my answer to your inquiry about the treasure-hunting company you mentioned, whatever it may be. I need say no more of the curse of Manische. Is the Gold of the Gods worth it?" There could be no denying that it was" real to her, whatever we might think of the story. I recollected the roughly printed warnings that had been sent to Norton, Leslie, Kennedy, and myself. Had they, then, some significance? I had not been able to convince myself that they were the work of a crank, alone. There must be some one to whom the execution of vengeance of the gods was an imperative duty. Unsuperstitious as I was, I saw here a real danger. If some one, either to preserve the secret for himself or

else called by divine mandate to revenge, should take a notion to carry out Ihe threats in the four notes, what might not happen? "I cannot tell you much more of fact than you already know," ehe remarked, watching our faces intently and noting the effect of every word. "You know. I suppose, that the treasure has always been believed to be in a large mound, a tumulus I think you call it visible from our town of . Truxillo. Many people have tried to open it but the mass of sand pours down on them and they have been discouraged." "No one has ever stumbled on the secret?" queried Kennedy. She shook her head. "There have been those who have sought there are even those who are seeking, the point just where to bore into the mounds. If they could find it, they plan to construct a well-timbered tunnel tp keep back the sand and to drive it at the right point to obtain this faVulous wealth." She vouchsafed the last information with a sort of quiet assurance that conveyed the idea, without her saying it directly, that any such venture was somehow doomed to failure, that desecrators were merely toying with fate. All through her story one could see that she felt deeply the downfall and betrayal of her brother, followed by the tragedy to him after the age-old

We are so likely to forget. We are so likely to put off. We get in the habit of thinking that we have plenty of time for this or that This great Grafonola sale is now in mind when we pencil these thoughts. We have in mind that it was even our own expectation, when this sale opened, that it would continue at least three weeks longer. Now we know that it can not possibly run for three weeks longer.

secret had slipped from his : grasp. Was there still to be vengeance f or his downfall? Surely, I thought to myself, Don Luis de Mendoza could not have been in possession of the secret unless he had arrived at it with Lockwood, in some other way than by deciphering the almost illegible marks of the dagger. I thought of Whitney, Had he perhaps had something to do with the nasty business? - I happened -to glance at a huge pile of works on mining engineering on. the table, the .property of Alfonso. She saw me looking at them, and her eyes assumed a far-away, dreamy impression as she murmured something. -More Tomorrow.
