ir treasures were
undisturbed. They carried their furs to Helena, in Montana,
where the entire lot was sold for thirty-two thousand dollars--a
great sum for two youths.

"Now what shall we do?" said Albert when the money was paid to
them.

"I vote we buy United States Government bonds," replied Dick,
"register 'em in our names, and go back to the valley to hunt and
trap. Of course people will find it after a while, but we may
get another lot of the furs before anyone comes."

"Just what I'd have proposed myself," said Albert.

They started the next day on their ponies, with the pack ponies
following, and reached their destination in due time. It was
just about sunset when they descended the last slope and once
more beheld their valley, stretching before them in all its
beauty and splendor, still untrodden by any human footsteps save
their own.

"What a fine place!" exclaimed Albert.

"The finest in the world!" said Dick.
