"We've got
great news for you, so get ready to shout!"

"We've got the Little Brass God penned up in the cavern just under
this rock! We've got a cinch on him this time!"
CHAPTER XX
A SIGHT OF THE GOD
"All quiet at the cabin?" asked Tommy.
"All quiet when we left," Sandy replied.
"What time did you leave?" demanded Tommy, suspiciously.
"Shortly after dinner."
"And you've gone and left George alone all this time!" exclaimed
Tommy indignantly. "You're a bright lot!"
"We thought you boys would be back to the cabin long before this!"
Sandy declared. "But what is it about this Little Brass God?"
"When we reached the system of caverns which we visited not long

said, "we found two men, well bundled up in furs, lying asleep, or
apparently asleep, in one of the smaller rooms. They sprang up
when they saw us and seemed about to engage in conversation with us
when Antoine made his appearance. Antoine seemed to want to talk
with us, too, but when he saw the two men who had been asleep in
the cavern he hot-footed down the slope, with the two fellows after
him. I never saw a man run so fast in my life.
