CHAPTER %LVII
"Merely . this," Vilak answered.
"The first; quest for gold, and to my
mind the mach less important; was
the .attempt of Limey Potts, Pasquale,
Branza,''an Ditto Cicerone. Three
rogues wpr�g'together, .they believed
—with reason—,that they could easily
get many thousands of dollars from

why Limey , was in. the free waiting
for you to drive by, the day :Tony. Bai-
betta was killed- Fie was going to
cause you to have an aceident or some-
thing of the sort and try to •kidn`ap
Tinky then. His arrest: somewhat dis-'
rupted the trio's plans, but didn't block
'them.
"When Tinley disappeared the first
time, it was, the Italians who had tak-
en
taken hien, one of them tiding the Horse
with the injured foot which had be-
longed to Prentiss and •which 1 after-
ward learned they had stolen. They
were on the road to. Furness Caves
when theywere unfortunate enough to
meet four racitinted genderames who
watch that place pretty closely just'
because it is such a' haven for crooks
and smugglers, and : they had • to run
for it, being compelled atlast to get
rid of title child, which was crying
in terror and otherwise embarassing
their flight.
"Failing in this scheme, Limey,
after the others had aided him to
escape from jail, decided on a much
bolder experiment,• which,' if success-
ful; he' belie* would be far more
lucrative: • that was to kidnap you
yourself and threaten you until you
gave theta any amount of money they
chose tb ask for."
