"Yes, and we'll have a sweet old time doing it!" exclaimed George.

"But it may not be anywhere near the cabin!" exclaimed "Will.
"If we knew whether Antoine ever had it in his possession," Tommy
said, "we'd know better where to look."
"Of course he had it in his possession!" said Sandy. "I'm sure

"He started in to say Brass!" replied Will.
"Then you see, don't you, that that proves that he knew all about

"Yes, and he asked if they found what they were looking for," Tommy
contributed, "and that shows that the Little Brass God he brought
from Chicago is some where about this palatial abode."

The Indian shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the body of
Antoine.
