He led me into a little strong room adjoining the smelter coil-rectifiers. He flashed his hand searchlight. On the floor, piled crosswise, were small moulded bars of refined quicksilver dull, darkened silver ingots of this world's most precious metal. "Quite a treasure, Grant, here to-night. See, it is radiumized." He snapped off his torch. In the darkness the little bars glowed irridescent.
Last night, in fact, when Pee-Wee cried for his dad, poor old Dinky-Dunk's face looked almost radiumized. He has announced that on Tuesday, when he will have to go in to Buckhorn, he intends to carry along the three kiddies and have their photograph taken. It reminded me that I had no picture whatever of the Twins.
And upon sudden impulse, I added: "President Markes said something about you having a treasure here. Radiumized quicksilver." It was evidently Spawn's desire to appear thoroughly frank with me. He laughed. "Well, then, if Markes has told you, then might I not as well admit it? The treasure is here, indeed yes. Will you like to see it?"
I knew that this pile of ingots the quicksilver in its radiumized form was worth four or five hundred thousand dollars in American gold-coin at the very least. Spawn shrugged. "Who would attack it? But of course I will be glad to be rid of it. It is a great responsibility even though it carries international insurance, to protect my and the Nareda Government share."
