And well do I remember you, Kamaiakan!" "It is true I live again, princess, though not in the flesh and bones that died with you in the past.

But in the old days I was acquainted with mysteries, and learned the secrets of the world of spirits; and this science still remained with me after the change, so that I was able to know that I was I, and that you could be recalled to speak with me through the tongue of Miriam.

But there are some things that I do not know; and it is for that I have been bold to summon you." "What can I tell you that can be of use to you in this present life, Kamaiakan, when all whom we knew and loved are gone ?" "To you only, Semitzin, is known the place of concealment of the treasure which, in the old times, you and I hid in the desert.

I indeed remember the event, and somewhat of the region of the hiding; but I cannot put my hand upon the very spot.

I have tried to discover it; but when I approach it my mind becomes confused between the present and the past, and I am lost." "I remember it well," said Semitzin.
