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 musseI
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
it.
II never seed a one b'fore," cried
the oldest "clammer" present, "but I
knowed hit were Blue Moon tn min

The pearl. passing from hand to
hand, had come round to the Boss
again, who, STOPPING close to the fire.

hand lens such as most pearl fishers
carry. ''Pearlhunter," he said, turning

Then It's you that's lucky" was
the slow answer. Its not mine"
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 a 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
it.
"Say." he growled. "what do you
thin. / am?'
"It was taken from your boat, In
waters you expected to fish tomorrow.
You'd have found Ii anyway"

eyes of the older man. leaving him

their attention from the pearl TO the
man that found II. He had become an
object of wonder and curious admira-

The Pearlhunter was restless.
There was a frail woman back In the
