A chance discovery of an old treasure map sends our favorite 11-year-old on the biggest adventure of his life.

Story
One day, Lincoln was moving his bookshelf where he kept his comic books when he nitced something strange. It looked like a hatch in the door.

"What's inside," Lincoln wondered.

Lincoln opened the hatch and found a small chest inside.

"What's this," asked Lincoln.

Lincoln picked the chest up, put on his bed, and tried to open it, but to no avail.

"Locked," said Lincoln.

Just then, Lincoln had an idea. He ran to Lori and Leni's room and knocked on the door.

"Yes, Lincoln," Lori asked as she opened the door.

"Hey, Lori," asked Lincoln, "do you have any bobby pins? If so, can I borrow one?"

"I think so," said Lori, "why do you ask?"

Lincoln told his eldest sister about the chest he had found.

"Wow," said Lori, "in that case, sure you can borrow a bobby pin!"

"Thanks, Lori," said Lincoln.

With that, Lori got Lincoln a bobby pin, which Lincoln used to pick the lock on the chest. Fortunately, it worked on the first try and the lock became, well, unlocked.

"Now to open this thing and see what's inside," said Lincoln.

When Lincoln opened up the chest, he found a scroll and an envelope.

"Oh," thought Lincoln, "this may not be silver, gold, jewels, or the very first Ace Savvy issue, but I bet this'll be twice as interesting."

Lincoln took the envelope, carefully opened it, removed its contents, and found a note that read "Dear whoever finds this letter, contained within this chest is a map that will lead you to adventure on a quest for the treasure of One-Eyed Bart, the roughest and toughest outlaw who ever lived. Legened has it that he lost his left eye in a shootout with Mounties in Canada. The map will lead you to his treasure."

Lincoln was unsure of who wrote the note because the signature was faded.

"Oh well," said the Lincoln, "I'm sure the map will be more fun."

Lincoln grabbed the scroll and unrolled it, revealing a treasure map.

"Wow," said Lincoln, "Mom and Dad have to see this!"

Lincoln then bounded down the stairs with the map.

"Mom, Dad," said Lincoln.

"What is it, champ," asked Lynn Sr.

"Look what I found," said Lincoln as he showed his parents the map.

"By golly," said Rita, "it looks like a treasure map!"

"I think it is," said Lynn Sr., "but is it real?"

"I think we should visit an expert and see if it is," said Lincoln.

"And so we shall," said Lynn Sr.

Lincoln and Lynn Sr. took the map to an appraisal center to have the map examined by an expert. It didn't take to long for the expert to make his decision.

"Yup," said the expert, "it's a real treasure map alright!"

Lincoln couldn't believe his ears. He had really found an old treasure map!

"This is great," Lincoln thought, "I wonder if it'll really lead me to the riches!"
