stage at the Oliver Theater May 80
and 81. made his professional de-
but In Miners Bowery theater on

at the age Of IL. Endowed with
. good tenor voice, he sang from
the gallery 10 the players on the
stage. an innovation that made a
decided hit with the rugged Gus
toners that frequented Miners in
those days
Like Al JOlson, Lewis has not only
a keen sense of song values and an
equally acute sense Of how to ex-
tract the greatest amount OF eff
fectiveness from his lyrics, but he is
also the pOssesser Of a voice that
combines the real interpretative
power with a high degree Of genuine
musical worth. 1t is Tor this rea-
son that Lewis has become one OF
the most sought-after singers by
song writers and publishers who
want their potential song hits in
troduced with the most telling ef-
feet. If song won't go over when
Lewis sings it, it just won't go over

ing the boat to shore, where the first
glance at the peculiar markings of the
mussel instantly threw the whole
camp into the widest excitement.
They spread down by the light OF
the fire the whitest cloth the camp af.
forded, and the Boss cut the mussel
open. One pearl, large. lustrous,
dropped out upon the cloth and lay
twinkling up into their faces like a
fallen star. 1t passed from hand to
hand, the pearl fishers struggling with
each other for the privilege Of holding
1t.
Il never seed one b'fore," cried
the oldest "clammer" present, "but ]
knowed hit were a Blue Moon tn min
ute lamped tn she'll"
The pearl, passing from hand to
hand, had come round to the Boss
again, who. STOPPING close to the fire
light, examined it through a small
hand lens such as most pearl fishers
carry. "Pearlhunter." he said. turning
to the young man, you shorely air

a fortune it werer'
Then it's you that's lucky" was
the slow answer. Its not NINE"
Had the others not been too excited,
they might have noticed that his lips
were drawn; his voice strained.
The grizzled old river Boss gripped
his calloused hand shut upon the
pearl; his seamy old face hardened,
and there sprang up In his deep-set
eyes an expression not unlike the ex-
preston in the eyes of hawk when
title TO the prey in his claws is dis
puted. But the expression passed. He
thrust the pearl back into the young
mans hand as though half afraid of
1t.
SAY" he growled, ''what do you
think I ann"
at was taken from your boat, in
waters you expected to fish tomorrow
You'd have found it anyway"
The hawkish glover left the blue
eyes of the older man, leaving him
the frank-faced old Boss again. He
studied his young friend curiously.

good-naturedly to himself. still study

his eyes. "Say," he continued, look

You mean it?s
The younger man fingered the pearl
as If it had suddenly assumed a new
value
If you wan t insult me. jist let on
like y'u think / don't"
Hero-worshipers all, after the man
ner Of their kind, the other pearl fish,
ers, as II by common impulse, turned
their attention from the pearl to the
man that found It. He had become an
object of wonder and curious admira-
ton. No other achievement In the
world could possibly have so distin-
guished him In their eyes. Suddenly
one of their number snatched or his
battered hat and yelled:
"H0oray fer tn Pearlhunterl"
The bluffs caught up the cheer that
followed and flung It back In multi
piled echoes, clear and far up and
down the night-bound shore. The
Boss, still hungry for the feel Of the
jewel, reached forth a grimy finger
and meditatively stirred the pearl
where 1t lay in the finders palm.
This ones rounder than them

sheen. Course cayn't say p'intedly,
but / putt 1t at not less'n Eve thou

The Pearlhunter was restless.
There was frail woman back In the
cabin ct Fallen Rock to whom the find-
ing of the pearl would mean more
than to anybody else in the world 1t
would mean-the mans heart warmed
with the thought, as his mind revert
ed to the story Of the afternoon
back to the house on hill that over
looked the river-and good-by to the
cough forever.
But it was some time before the
first flush of excitement died down. 1t
Is not one camp In a thousand that
ever sees a Blue Moon. The value Of
1t was still under discussion when the
Boss happened to remember the fish
still lying In the boat.
9TH fish!' he exclaimed. "rh'
flies1l be at EN-"
"And must be getting home" The
Pearlhunter was quick to seize the
chance.
Followed by the others. the Boss
went down to the boat-not. however.
until the Pearlhunter had torn COR
ner out Of the cloth spread down by
the fire, wrapped the pearl up In 1t,
and put 1t carefully away In mis-
pocket.
Insisting on relieving the Boss from
rowing on the way back, he took his
place at the oars and waited for the
boat to be pushed of into the stream.
But the Boss, with his hand upon the
bow, stood hesitatingly before giving
the final shove.
Shorty" he called to the man who
had danced the hornpipe, and who
was now gone back to the fire, bring
me my OF shotgun an coat. reckon
I'll camp at Fallen Rock might"
The Pearlhunter protested against
his going to such trouble; but the
Boss had his way.

shower Of spray broke the surface Of
the water. and all was over. A fish
does not struggle long when the spear

aSix-pounder, II he's an ounce,
chuckied the Boss when the fish lay In
the bottom Of the boat. The Pearl
hunter rested his spear upon the gun
vale and bent above the jack light.
The boat drifted on.
It was perhaps half an hour later
when, in the leisureiy manner Of men
returning from season Of successful
sport, the two fishermen, with the pick
Of all they had fioated over In the
bottom of the boat. rowed up the
stream. The glare of the campfire
was beginning to slither upon the drip
ping oar blades and the ripples they
raised when the Boss laid the boat
nearer the south shore with the re-
mark:
Here's where we're expectfn' t
hist tn sinners tomorrow-aH along
here. Jist look at tn tracks. Make a
right smart track. don't they, fer a

The Pearlhunter made no answer.
Crouched down by the jack light well
toward the bow Of the boat, he had
been for some time watching the I'M
usually thick tangle of winding marks
upon the Shiny bottom, plowed there
by the mussels or clans while feed
ing, dozens and hundreds of the creep
ing bivalves, half buried in the ooze,
at that very moment dotting the river
bed.
The Boss was in the very act of
turning the boat across the river to
the camp when he was startled by an
excited exclamation from his compan-
ion, who had suddenly leant low and
dangerously far out over the water.
He was up on the instant and had
flashed the jack light around the boat.
In his dripping hand there was an i'm
mense river mussef.
The old Boss had no sooner caught
the bluish-purple glitter shedding from
the hinge knobs Of the giant bivalve
than he uttered a shout that walked
the echoes up and down the river
shore, and brought the five men at the
camp running down to the waters
edge.
"a Blue Moon!" he yelled. "By the
gods, Blue Moonl"
He snatched 1t from the hand of his
companion and held 1t under the full
glare of the jack light. Next moment
he had handed 1t back and was driv-
