gnt the pearlhunter was far too


 wise to fall for that trick.
 Thanks" he said. But business first"
 He strode on toward the bank The Jew trotted along beside him. The crowd followed.
 The old banker invited them back into his private office and shut the door. It was the first time the Pearl hunter had ever been farther in bank than the lobby, and only once in his life that far. The solid and substan- tial luxury of the place was reve latiOn to him, even a matter of intense curiosity. But the cumulative effect of it was to give him courage, to make him feel he was somebody.
 It seemed to the Pearlhunter that the banker was gone long time when he went to bring the pearl from the safe. When he finally re-entered the private office the owner of the pearl saw why. He had hunted up some where about the bank a small box. tiny jewel case, covered with green plush, and was carrying the pearl in it-a little thing, but very graceful and gracious. The act went to the heart of the Pearlhunter and immense ly increased his confidence and self respect, which was probably the very thing the wise old banker hoped it would do.
 Louie Solomon knew fresh water pearls. Probably there was no great CT expert living. His first glance at the Blue Moon, when the lid of the tiny plush case was raised, betrayed him. Forgetful of the level eyes watching his slightest move, studying his every expression, he bounced upon the glorious jewel and caressed it with his hands, devoured it with his pro truding eyes-the crafty trader lost for the moment in the expert; the Jew in the man.
 But it was only for the moment. The enthusiast vanished; in his place the hard-faced trader He strengthened; ; set the box, with the lid still up, on the table that occupied the center of the office floor. and looked around at the others.
 "So-o-!' he said, with a slither of his hand toward the pearl-a gesture only Louie Solomon could make. 'Undt dot iss it for which de pearl fishers should go crazy"
 But even Louie Solomon couldn't quite put over his accustomed bluff in the face of such a gem. It drew his eyes back in spite of him. Taking lens from his pocket, he stopped over it again.
 You no see dot faw?" he said, aft CT a short inspection.
 The Pearlhunter took the lens and looked with quick, studied care. Some times the most perfect pearl will de- velop a flaw in ripening.
 "No," he answered, handing back the lens. Neither do you"
 It was a straight thrust The buyer

flushed and studied his man. Who was this Pearlhunter, anyhow?
 "Vell. how much you want itT
 "I told you"
 The Jew rdiculed the idea with his hands.
 q fought you make me some fool ishness. You dond't can meant it?"
 You've got good chance to find out"
 The Jew stopped again over the pearl, rolled it about upon the plush cushion inside the tiny jewel case. took a small pair of calipers from his vest pocket and measured 1t, not only to determine its size but its roundness as well. The old banker looked across the table and winked at the Pearl hunter-a very distinct and unmistak- able wink. A dry grin puckered the young mans eyes. It's not every pearl fisher that gets winked at by banker.
 Solomon looked up after & while and growled:
 'l gitf you tree t'ousan'."
 The banker started. But the Pearl hunter said:
 If it ain't worth more than that, I might as well go down to Mud Haul and fish for bullheads."
 Louie Solomon swore-a stiff little run of what the Flatwoods calls keen cussin'." His eyes stuck out; he stormed back and forth across the floor time or two, muttering to him. self in Yiddish. language in which he doubtless swore more comfortably. It was the squirrel" whisky. Louie knew better. too.
 But the tempest was soon over. He stopped at the corner of the table, his face smoothed serene as garden and like garden, the better for the storm

That was all. No face appeared. A moment or two, and the arm disap- peared the sploteh of shadow slid off the square of moonlight; the soft foot falls slipped away around the east end of the cabin and muffled into silence.
 Very softly the Pearlhunter rose to his feet The light outside was far too bright to risk venturing forth. II would have betrayed him instantly. He glanced around tfe cabin. The moon had passed by the east window, so that it was in the shadow. He stole across the floor and peepe.l out through a broken pane.
 A man was picking his way mp the bluff. He seemed in no great hurry, nor in the least disturbed. At the top of the bluff he stopped and looked back. In his brief instant Of pause be fore striding away into the woods the moon picked him out clear as day. II was the Man-in-theFaDcy-Vest.
 There was no more sleep for the Pearlhunter. He left the window. went to the cabin door and felt behind the easement where the hand had groped His fingers came in contact with tiny bundle wedged between the logs and the door frame. He drew it forth and unrolled it in the moon light, deeming it imprudent to light the candle. Even before the moon beams fell upon the thing he knew by certain disquieting premonition what it would prove to be-a red mask.
 He felt along the wall to the chink above the table and poked his fingers between it and the logs, where he had concealed the packet the evening they moved into the cabin. It was still there. He drew 1t forth and compared it with the other. They were almost identical. and of pattern With the one he had seen that afternoon at the three -gabled cabin.
 He sat down by the table and dropped his chin in his palm. What did 1t mean? What must it mean this last one? He knew the meaning

 Hello 0. un there 1"

t1el'o o, uD tneFe!
 Ii was the hoarse gruff voice of the Boss. A day and half a night The finding of the Blue Moon had been eel ebrated most furiously.
 "Hello-o 1" he answered.
 He heard the Boss swear and say to the others: There! Whatd I tell y'u! knowed he wouldn't be asleep" The hoarse voice. thickened a good deal by the celebration, boomed across the water again and bounded against the face of the cliff.
 Louie Solomon struck town t'night. He'll be down in tn mornin'."
 'Let m come"
 "Stick out fer tn five thousan'."
 The Pearlhunter did not answer.
 Be up t'morrow, sometime" the voice boomed out again.
 Come ahead"
 The Boss tossed back no further word.
 So Louie Solomon, the smoothest, trickiest, shlftiest of them all, would be down in the mornin'." The eyes of the Pearlhunter narrowed. His jaws snapped together. He turned and re- entered the cabin. The candle had burned low. The draft tSat set in from the open door had guttered it deep. He blew it out, flung off his clothes and rolled into bed.
 Five thousand !'' he muttered, drop ping into the sleep that comes easy to the woodsman. Not even Louie Sol omon can beat me if I stick right here. That's what I'll do-Stick-right here. I'm not askin' more, and he shan't have it for-less-"
 So long as the pulse of the woods beat normal the sleep of the Pearl hunter was sound. The hoot of the owl; the whine of the wildcat; the howl of the wolves; never disturbed him. In cabin or house-boat, or out under the trees, he could sleep through it all. But let false note creep into the wild medley and it instantly reached him. It was his training, and could be counted on.
 Some time away in the dead night the false note came-guarded footballs outside the cabin, and close to the wall. Without start or stir the Pearl hunters eyes came open, every sense at keenest pitch. It must have been near morning, for the moon stood al- most straight in the open door. He slid his hand down his side, felt for the revolver under the edge of his thigh, laid it across his chest, and covered both hand and revolver with a corner of the sheet.
 A form plotted the moonlight upon the floor with living splotch of shad- ow. An arm came in at the door; a hand fumbed behind the easement,

 The Pearlhunter glanced across the table at the banker

 The banker picked up the little plush case, snapped the lid down. and started for the door. Taking the pearl from the room was like putting the light out. The Jews face was a study. He drew his sleeve across his brow.
