The sheriff was to bring his supper
10 him. The fact suddenly became
significant. Maybe he'd come inside.
Maybe he'd come alone.
A rusty stove out in the hallway be-
tween the two cells caught his eye. No
poker; no lid. The door was fastened
In manner that prevented Its being

to the east window to watch the
sheriff's house.
A scratching at the west window
caught his ear. He listened till II

tiptoed to the window. A hand came

The Pearlhuntcr laid his palm upon
II. II wus snatched away; but came
bnck again.
"That you. Pearihunterf"
"Yes."
The man on the outside raised him
self even with the window. The Pearl
hunter would have recognised him In
half the iIght--the Boss. His face
came close to the bars on the outside ;
the Pearlhunter's face came close To
the bars ON the inside. The friendly
butt Of a s!x-gun came across the win
dow ledge. The comfortable feel Of

the Pearlhunter.
San so It's you they've roped" he
growled. Damned II l hain't a no

A snarl ran through the mob. They
surged forward. The sheriff drew his
revolver again. and cursed them back.
"Red Mask or red devil" he
stormed, "he's entitled to a trial I'M
der the law; and n trial he'll git"
The mob mnttered omlnously but
fell back. leaving some little space
about the horse. The Pearlhunter
was the tallest man there. His height
enabled him to see with tolerable
clearness to the outskirts Of the
crowd. He swept his eyes over the
heads Of the others like man looking
for something he fully expected to
find. He was not disappointed. In
the outer edge OF the crowd, leaning
csrelessly against hitch rack. stood
the man he was expecting to see. He
had come out of the Mud Hen at the
beginning Of the uproar but had taken
no part In the lynchlng. He didn't
need to. He had whole town to dc

The Pearlhunter was not surprised

With the knife still sticking IN til,

down to the boat, driving the Pearl

What n difference in the crowd that
met them at the wharf, Again drlv-
ing their prisoner before them, the
three grim henchmen carried the dead
man up the hill to small plot of
open ground west Of the Mud Hen and
laid him down upon the grass.
For the second time that day the
village emptied Its houses to meet
them. Women came this time-old
women with scared faces; girls with
blooming checks; and children. Hard
men that had drunk to the Pearlhunt-
er barely two hours ago came out of
the Mud Hen and stood staring at him
In sullen silence. Men from the stores
ard shops came running. Men that
had neither stores nor shops strag-
gled In from every quarter Of the vii
lage and jostled about in the ever
growing. ominously muttering circle.
Suddenly. and Unexpectedly. two of
the henchmen caught the Pearlhunter
and held him while the third tied the
red mask over his eyes. Bound as he
was. he had flung them loose IN an In.
slant and raked the mask Off against
his shoulder. But that one brief mo
ment was enough. The mischief was
done. Women screamed; men NUT
tered and swore; but all shrank back
widening the circle.
