The Tower Treasure
Chapter 16: A Surprise
Frank and Joe look carefully through every inch of the new tower but do not find a trace of the jewels. Not only Hurd Applegate and his sister Adelia, but also the “detective” Smuff express their disappointment and even glee at the Hardys’ failure! However, Mr. Hardy is determined to search again. He and the boys tap every floor and wall of both towers –- nothing! Will Mr. Robinson be implicated after all? Mr. Hardy insists that they search the grounds the next morning. As Frank pushes his spade into a freshly planted bed, he cries with delight as he unearths a buried chest!
