"It's sayin' it's worth lookin'," affirmed Chick-chick. "Didn't one of 'em say chart was drawn from description Indians gave?" "Yes, but they might have been fooling 'em." "An' they might not. If it's Indian cave it's got our treasure. You draw copy that chart from memory soon as we get back, you do." "I can't draw," objected Glen.
Two boys on a motorcycle ditched their wheel a hundred yards away and crept cautiously up. "He's going to the house to try to sell something," whispered Apple. "We must keep him from locking those back doors so we can look inside." "We sure will," vowed Chick-chick.
"He surely will," observed Chick-chick. "I'll take care of Mr. Spencer, Apple. Leave him to me." "It's more in your line," insinuated Matt. "I guess it's about the same thing as waiting on your father's customers at his garage." "An' it's proud I am to do it," retorted Chick-chick. "I do it whenever they want anything I can handle, from gasoline to a new machine. Lem'me sell you a new car, Matty.
They found the shelf with the railroad folders, but no chart of any description was there. "'Fraid you'd see more of it than they wanted," suggested Chick-chick. "They need not," said Glen. "I don't care what's on their chart." "Why not?" asked Chick-chick. "Why not? They got chart cave. Cave is somewhere between our camp an' top Buffalo Mound.
"Don't want it," explained Chick-chick. "Isn't ours. 'Fraid somebody see us with it an' think our name is Jervice. We all get on little old bike an' hike along sudden, we do." Three boys was no special load for the motor-bike. They were constantly on the look out for the pursuing car which they expected to meet coming back, but nothing did they see of it.
After Matt had fixed the tree to his satisfaction his chief trouble was to lead Chick-chick to make the discovery in a perfectly natural manner. The best opportunity came as they went back to camp after the morning swim. Chick-chick was always a wanderer, likely at any moment to dart off in sudden pursuit of something.
"Some strong man, ain't you, Brick?" "Pretty strong for a boy," Glen admitted. "Say, Brick, Goosey wants ask you question," jerked out Chick-chick. "Goosey so bashful wouldn't come alone, he wouldn't." "I'd like fine to be strong like you, Brick," said Goosey.
"Maybe I'd have better luck finding things if I was a confederate of those that hid them." Was Matt trying to intimate that Glen had found the cave because of some confederacy with the Jervice gang? Glen felt his anger rising. "That's enough of that," said Apple. "If you fellows want to help you can take turns one on top and one in the water. Come on up, Chick-chick."
In some spots the music is more lively, accompanied by the shaking of a gourd filled with dry seeds, which is called ghiera, and whose "chick-a-chick, chick-chick" takes the place of the more poetical castanets; here you find one or more couples exhibiting their skill in Cuban dances, with a great deal of applause and chattering from the crowd around.
Of course we couldn't tell about inside. It's jest like a wagon in a circus parade nice paint on the outside an' the inside left to yore 'magination." "Two men on the wagon one a big fellow!" exclaimed Apple, as they left the fount of information. "We'll have to be pretty careful what we do." "Sure will," agreed Chick-chick.
