Verse Line	Interpretation
Where M and B are set in stone	Some claim this stands for "Man and Beast" referring to the sculptures flanking the entrance to Grant Park in Chicago, but these sculptures are entitled "The Spearman" and "The Bowman" (depicted in Image 5) and are bronze, not stone.
And to Congress, R is known	__R__oosevelt University's Auditorium Building is located on Michigan Ave. and Congress, directly behind "The Bowman."
L sits and left Beyond his shoulder Is the Fair Folks' Treasure holder	There is a statue of __L__incoln, sitting.
The end of ten by thirteen Is your clue	Could refer to Jackson and Monroe Drives (J=10 and M=13), but these streets do not intersect and thus do not pinpoint a location. More likely, this refers to a row of 10 by 13 trees.
Fence and fixture Central too	The fencepost in Image 5 is a few feet from an electric fixture on the bridge wall. The casque was found buried between them. These lines match Image 5 to Verse 12.
For finding jewel casque Seek the sounds Of rumble	Train tracks run directly by the casque site, under the bridge.
Brush and music	The Art Institute of Chicago is one block away, across Jackson Drive on the other side of the tracks.
Hush.	??
