Great Moses, but I believe the miner did actually find that Cave of Gold, just as he said he did!" and Thure's eyes and face glowed with excitement. "So do I," Bud agreed emphatically. "The skin map, the gold nugget why, even his murder! all go to prove the truth of his tale. The robbers killed him to get this map.
The old bed of the stream was solid rock, worn smooth by the action of the water; and, as Thure and Bud, in their anxiety to be the first to reach the hole, raced down this, Thure's feet suddenly slipped on the wet rock and down he went, the gold-pan he was carrying flying from his hands and banging loudly as it slid for a short distance over the hard rock.
When the last bag had been weighed, all waited anxiously while the two boys added up the various amounts. Thure was the first to finish the addition. "Five thousand one hundred and three and a half pounds!" he yelled. "Exactly what I got," announced Bud a moment later. "Give me the pencil and paper," and Mr. Conroyal caught the pencil and paper from Thure's hands.
"Don't don't let us keep you from washing it," and Bud's face flushed with excitement. "We, too, would like to see how it pans out, wouldn't we Thure?" "You bet!" was Thure's emphatic rejoinder.

After a little discussion all agreed that Thure's plan was a good one; and, accordingly, Thure at once took off his shirt and carefully and smoothly sewed the skin map on the inside of its bosom, the face of the map toward the cloth; and then, over all, he sewed another piece of cloth, so that the map was completely hidden between the two folds of cloth.
You had better wait " "No!" "No!" broke in both girls indignantly, while Ruth, looking as if she would like to box Thure's ears, declared: "We girls can keep a secret just as well as you boys can, and you know it; for, haven't we saved you from many a licking by not telling your dads what you had been up to?
The Conroyal rancho, the Randolph and the Conroyal families had united, when the men went to the mines, and both families were now living at the Conroyal rancho, was some five miles from the scene of the robbery and attempted murder of the miner; and, for the first two miles of the homeward ride, the wounded man lay unconscious and motionless in Thure's arms.
