"You must know, my very dear sir," he began, "that I come from a country which is very rich in the resources of nature. In the unsettled interior are very great mineral deposits which are little known, and since the day when the great Vega made the first exploration there has been the belief that the Urinaba Mountains hide a great wealth in gold.
"Lopez," replied Senhor Poritol promptly; and Orme knew that the answer might as well have been Smith. But the little man returned quickly to his story. "My friend had no strength left. He was, oh, so weak that I wept to see him. But he sent the doctor and the priest out of the room, and then and then he whispered in my ear a secret. He had discovered rich gold in the Urinaba country.
It occurred to Orme that the secret of the bill might be connected with the negotiation of a big business concession in Alcatrante's country. "S. R. Evans" might be trying to get control of rubber forests or mines in the Urinaba Mountains, perhaps, after all. In any event, he felt positive that the secret of the bill did not rightfully belong to Poritol.
"So the bill carries directions for finding a rich deposit in the Urinaba Mountains?" "Yes, my dear sir. But you would not rob me of it. You could not understand the directions." "Oh, no." Orme laughed. "I have no interest in South American gold mines." "Then accept this fresh bill," implored Senhor Poritol, "and give me back the one I yearn for." Orme hesitated. "A moment more," he said.
