In a previous column on buried treasure, we pointed out some of the rewards of reading that your English teacher ma yT have overlooked. Well, we're back again with another bonanza of treasure-hunt and mystery literature, but with a major difference. This week we'll explore stashes of cash and hidden treasure which are a relatively recent origin. I think you'll find some obvious advantages in the fact that it's not "old gold" we're after. For one thing, each puzzle has a known solution as well as a set time limit for deciphering the clues and claiming the prize. Even more important, neither the buried information nor objects were secreted away to safeguard them for prying public eyes. ALL WERE created to encourage your interest and entice you to seek them out And further to ensure success, we'll offer you some pre-solved mysteries

n to use as examples. So d prepare to exercise your if mind (and perhaps h strengthen, your finances e simultaneously) by coming e to the library and picking r up a book for pleasure and t profit. t You'll gain some valuable experience buy first turning to Kit Williams' Masquerade, the inspiration for this new fad of prize books. This phenomenal bestseller kept readers scouring through clues and the English countryside for two and a half years before its treasure was finally unearthed. THE BOOK'S success (over one and a half million copies In eight languages have been sold since publication in 1979) certainly inspired Williams to create a second challenge a book without a title, and a second prize — an inlaid mahogany bee box guarded by a solid gold queen bee. Unfortunately, the May 25. 1985 deadline will be passed before this goes to ■ press but both books may prove valuable just because they have already been solved. You see. plans ' are already underway to offer a Masquerade A mericana and you can apply your newly gained expertise to its solution. THE SAME IS true for another treasure already out there somewhere in the Continental United States. While you have a bigger area to cover, the stakes are also higher. This time you'll be searching for a solid gold statue of an Arabian stallion. Inside the horse is a key to a safe deposit box and inside the box is a certificate which will entitle the bearer to $25,000 a year for 20 years. The puzzle is designated very much like Wittiarrjs' books with clues hidden jin the text and illustrations of a children's story, i complete set of rules is included in the book, as in all the information needed to claim the treasure and the prize THE NAME of the book0 Treasure, of course, and the tangle of clues was devised by Dr Crypton. America's puzzle king Dr Crypton is the author of eight other books and writes a monthly puzzle columit ft>r Science Digest You might>ant to look at one of th&S£_f«Xr some insight intd the workings of his mind and intricacies of this challenge./) But thafs not all. folks! There pet/more opportunities!' butior 8rouP you mi^ht. want to pack J away that spade (not your Same Spade though) and haul out your gumshoes Who-dunit fans can now profitably turn to their hobby of solving murder mysteries ONE COUPLE has already found themselves $10,000 richer by crackfits the case of Who Killed.the^ Robins Family and how J-ou can follow their lead and find a solution to the sequel. Revenge of the Robins Family. It's a fast $10,001 for you if you can solve seven of the eight murders that occur (the authors have already solved one to show you howits done*. But I do mean fast, because your entry will have to lie received by June 15. 1985 to be eligible In ^the same genre.

there's $15,000 in prize money to be awarded to the detective who can first track down the solution to Prize Meets Murder, by Otto Penzler and R.T. Edwards. Or try your powers of deduction on their second release. The Medical Center Murders, for another cool $15,000. So whether you're a closet Sherlock Holmes or

a frustrated archaeologist, there's plenty of opportunity to apply your brain i power toward financial gain. And if you don't manage to come up with a winning solution, think of the fun you'll have and the 1 money you'll have saved instead of going out for some other form of entertainment. I tell you. you just can't lose at your local library.
