Notes

This story features supernatural forms of gold-digging. Dick, the hero of the story who squanders his inheritance, encounters a supernatural entity, the Yo-Yo; an Indigenous man. Yo-yo proves his supernatural power by guiding Dick's extraction of gold, eventually securing a compact with Dick. Yoyo grants Dick immense wealth in exchange for an unspecified future demand. A year later, the Yo-Yo returns to claim a child, but Dick, aided by a priest, confronts and defeats the Yo-Yo, using the religious power of Christianity (the priest claims that the child belongs to God)
