1"I don't know--leave it here as we've always done, I reckon. No use to take it away till we start south. Six hundred and
2fifty in silver's something to carry." "Well--all right--it won't matter to come here once more." "No--but I'd say come
3in the night as we used to do--it's better." "Yes: but look here; it may be a good while before I get the right chance
4at that job; accidents might happen; 'tain't in such a very good place; we'll just regularly bury it--and bury it deep."
5"Good idea," said the comrade, who walked across the room, knelt down, raised one of the rearward hearth-stones and took
6out a bag that jingled pleasantly. He subtracted from it twenty or thirty dollars for himself and as much for Injun Joe,
7and passed the bag to the latter, who was on his knees in the corner, now, digging with his bowie-knife. The boys forgot
8all their fears, all their miseries in an instant. With gloating eyes they watched every movement. Luck!--the splendor
9of it was beyond all imagination! Six hundred dollars was money enough to make half a dozen boys rich! Here was
10treasure-hunting under the happiest auspices--there would not be any bothersome uncertainty as to where to dig. They
11nudged each other every moment--eloquent nudges and easily understood, for they simply meant--"Oh, but ain't you glad
12now we're here!" Joe's knife struck upon something. "Hello!" said he. "What is it?" said his comrade. "Half-rotten
13plank--no, it's a box, I believe. Here--bear a hand and we'll see what it's here for. Never mind, I've broke a hole." He
14reached his hand in and drew it out-- "Man, it's money!" The two men examined the handful of coins. They were gold. The
15boys above were as excited as themselves, and as delighted. Joe's comrade said: "We'll make quick work of this. There's
16an old rusty pick over amongst the weeds in the corner the other side of the fireplace--I saw it a minute ago." He ran
17and brought the boys' pick and shovel. Injun Joe took the pick, looked it over critically, shook his head, muttered
18something to himself, and then began to use it. The box was soon unearthed. It was not very large; it was iron bound and
19had been very strong before the slow years had injured it. The men contemplated the treasure awhile in blissful silence.
20"Pard, there's thousands of dollars here," said Injun Joe. "'Twas always said that Murrel's gang used to be around here
21one summer," the stranger observed. "I know it," said Injun Joe; "and this looks like it, I should say." "Now you won't
22need to do that job." The halfbreed frowned. Said he: "You don't know me. Least you don't know all about that thing.
23'Tain't robbery altogether--it's revenge!" and a wicked light flamed in his eyes. "I'll need your help in it. When it's
24finished--then Texas. Go home to your Nance and your kids, and stand by till you hear from me." "Well--if you say so;
25what'll we do with this--bury it again?" "Yes. [Ravishing delight overhead.] No! by the great Sachem, no! [Profound
26distress overhead.] I'd nearly forgot. That pick had fresh earth on it! [The boys were sick with terror in a moment.]
27What business has a pick and a shovel here? What business with fresh earth on them? Who brought them here--and where are
28they gone? Have you heard anybody?--seen anybody? What! bury it again and leave them to come and see the ground
29disturbed? Not exactly--not exactly. We'll take it to my den." "Why, of course! Might have thought of that before. You
30mean Number One?" "No--Number Two--under the cross. The other place is bad--too common." "All right. It's nearly dark
31enough to start." Injun Joe got up and went about from window to window cautiously peeping out. Presently he said: "Who
32could have brought those tools here? Do you reckon they can be upstairs?" The boys' breath forsook them. Injun Joe put
33his hand on his knife, halted a moment, undecided, and then turned toward the stairway. The boys thought of the closet,
34but their strength was gone. The steps came creaking up the stairs--the intolerable distress of the situation woke the
35stricken resolution of the lads--they were about to spring for the closet, when there was a crash of rotten timbers and
36Injun Joe landed on the ground amid the debris of the ruined stairway. He gathered himself up cursing, and his comrade
37said: "Now what's the use of all that? If it's anybody, and they're up there, let them stay there--who cares? If they
38want to jump down, now, and get into trouble, who objects? It will be dark in fifteen minutes--and then let them follow
39us if they want to. I'm willing. In my opinion, whoever hove those things in here caught a sight of us and took us for
40ghosts or devils or something. I'll bet they're running yet." Joe grumbled awhile; then he agreed with his friend that
41what daylight was left ought to be economized in getting things ready for leaving. Shortly afterward they slipped out of
42the house in the deepening twilight, and moved toward the river with their precious box. Tom and Huck rose up, weak but
43vastly relieved, and stared after them through the chinks between the logs of the house. Follow? Not they. They were
44content to reach ground again without broken necks, and take the townward track over the hill. They did not talk much.
45They were too much absorbed in hating themselves--hating the ill luck that made them take the spade and the pick there.
46But for that, Injun Joe never would have suspected. He would have hidden the silver with the gold to wait there till his
47"revenge" was satisfied, and then he would have had the misfortune to find that money turn up missing. Bitter, bitter
48luck that the tools were ever brought there! They resolved to keep a lookout for that Spaniard when he should come to
49town spying out for chances to do his revengeful job, and follow him to "Number Two," wherever that might be. Then a
50ghastly thought occurred to Tom. "Revenge? What if he means us, Huck!" "Oh, don't!" said Huck, nearly fainting. They
51talked it all over, and as they entered town they agreed to believe that he might possibly mean somebody else--at least
52that he might at least mean nobody but Tom, since only Tom had testified. Very, very small comfort it was to Tom to be
53alone in danger! Company would be a palpable improvement, he thought.
