"Say, I reckon I know what you are after!" he burst out suddenly. "What?" came from the three. "You're on a hunt for old Goupert's treasure." "Why, what do you know about that?" demanded Dick. He remembered that the writing on the map said, "Beware of Goupert's ghost."
"I suppose in Goupert's time this timber was small," observed the guide. The tramping around was beginning to tire them, and soon Sam had to stop to rest and get back his wind. "I feel like a regular snow-plow," he gasped. "Tell you what, it takes the wind right out of a chap." "You rest while we go ahead," suggested Tom, but Sam did not wish to do this. "Not much!
Ten paces to the west is a large pine tree, which was once struck by lightning. Go due southwest from the pine tree sixty-two paces, to the flat rock, behind which is a sharp-pointed rock. Beneath the sharp-pointed rock is the chamber with the box. Stranger, beware of Goupert's ghost." "A treasure in the mountains!" cried Sam. "Hurrah! let's go and get it!"
"I've got news for you," he said to Dick, who had followed him down to the barn. "There's another party arrived at Timber Run on the hunt fer that treasure of old Goupert's." "Another party. Who is it?" "Didn't hear their names. There are two men and a young fellow o' nineteen or twenty. They have hired Bill Harney fer a guide, and are goin' to strike out fer the Pond to-morrow."
