a good time."
"So would I. But robbers don't do that way. They always hide it and
leave it there."
"
"
Don't they come after it any more?"
No, they think they will, but they generally forget the marks, or
else they die. Anyway, it lays there a long time and gets rusty; and by
and by somebody finds an old yellow paper that tells how to find the
marks--a paper that's got to be ciphered over about a week because it's
mostly signs and hy'roglyphics."
"

Hy'roglyphics--pictures and things, you know, that don't seem to mean
anything."

Have you got one of them papers, Tom?"
No."
Well then, how you going to find the marks?"
