"Tell you what," said Sam on going to bed that night, "I almost wish Christmas came once a week instead of once a year!" It was on the day following Christmas that Dick brought out the brass-lined money casket which he had picked up in the cave on Needle Point Island, in Lake Huron, as related in a previous volume of this series. As old readers know, this cave was stumbled upon by accident.
When you take your receiver off the hook a tiny electric bulb glows opposite the brass-lined hole that is marked with your number on the switchboard of your central, and the telephone girl knows that you are ready to send in a call the flash of the little light is a signal to her that you want to be connected with some other subscriber.
In all eagerness they burst into the library, where Anderson Rover sat reading a magazine and Randolph Rover one of his favorite works on scientific farming. "Dick has got the money casket open!" cried Sam. "And he has found a map," added Tom. "We want Uncle Randolph to read the writing. It's in French." "Found a map in that old brass-lined box, eh?" said Anderson Rover. "That's interesting."
"Certainly, lad, if it's an honest secret." "It is honest," answered Dick, and thereupon told of the adventure on Needle Point Island and of the map on the table, and how it had disappeared, and of the finding of the second map in the brass-lined money casket later on. "I am sure Dan Baxter has that other map," he concluded. "He wants that treasure as badly as we do."
They were pretty well satisfied in their minds that Dan Baxter had taken these things, but had never been able to prove it. The brass-lined money casket was an odd-looking affair, which Dick found thrust in a big box of fancy articles of various descriptions. The box was about a foot long, six inches wide, and six inches deep.
