Wins Success With Ideas That Would Shock the Very Soul of His
 Grandfather.

A business man tells, in Peoples Magazine how he commits suicide at stated intervals.
 ''I die every little while, he says 'I pretend that the end has come and ask myself what I am doing that some one else could not do just as weIl--Or better. Since l contracted the habit of killing myself off. have dropped one kind of work after an other. Keeping in mind that l may drop off any minute. I have under studies ready not only for myself but for the other important men. We are all unnecessary. The result is our business never was better. We are all principals Every one of our men carries marshars baton in his hay ersack. The men under me seem to keep on saying every little while. Here, you, get out of the way And in self-protection, I scramble up to higher place and all the rest of the men move forward at the same time
 Mot only do I share authority. but I share profi.s. The T idea of bust ness went out Of OUT place years ago Now it is always We It hurts me every time hear one of our men say T will do this or that when speaking with a customer. He is supposed to say We will do that The We spir It is what we have cultivated because we have realized that T Is a pretty small individual
 "So. my advice to my fellow busi- ness man is to commit suicide every little while. If they do the job hon. estly and in workmanlike manner they will finc themselves constructing the ladder that will land them In heaven, not after they are in the grave, but right here on this good old earth of ours"

 the water aHdzStDle taEdshasifF All unalarmed he lay his 5sSs idfy fnsning the fern-like moss in wfiich he ei5urked. little suspecting the five-pronga creeping upon him. The points were within three feet of the glossing scales when the Pearlhunter struck. There | followed a moment of fierce furry among the waving ferns; a little shower of spray broke the surface of the water. and all was over. A fish does not struggle long when the spear goes home.
 "Six-pounder, if he's an ounce," chuckled 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 leisurely manner of men returning from a season of successful sport,-the two fishermen, with the pick i of all they had floated 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 eXpectin' t hist tn sinners tomorrow-all along here JiSt look at tn tracks. Make right smart track, don't they, fer beast without no feet?''
 n,,o rooIa Crouched down by the jack light well toward the bow of the boat, he had been for some time watching the un- usually thick tangle of winding marks upon the slimy 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 muSsel.
 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. a Blue Moon !"
 He snatched it from the hand of his companion and held it under the full glare of the jack light. Next moment he had handed it back and was driv

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 It passed from hand to hand, the pearl fishers struggling with each other for the privilege of holding it.
 q never seed one b'fOre," cried the oldest "clammer" present, but l knOwed hit were a Blue Moon tn min ute lamped th'' she'll"
 The pearl, passing from hand to hand, had come round to the Boss again, who, stooping close to the fire light, examined it through a small hand lens such as most pearl fishers carry. "PearIhunter," he said, turning to the young man, "yOu shorely air luckyl You've found y'ur pearl-an' a fortune it werew
 "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 caIloused 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- pression in the eyes of hawk when title to the prey in his claws IS ais 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 think I am?"
 'It 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.
 "Weu, I'll be damn'dl" he chuckled to himself, still study ing the other from under the edges of his eyes. Say" he continued, look ing up frankly, "I hain't got dern bit more claim to it than I got to the Bank of Ingland. If you fancy I have got claims, hereby gives an conveys

 R man; an that's better'n law any ''''-1o ou mean it?"
 The younger man fingered the pearl as If 1t had suddenly assumed a new value
 If ycu wan [ insult me. jist let on like Va think I don't"
 Hero-V-Orshipers all, after the man ner of their kind, the other pearl fish CTS. as if 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 of his battered hat. and yelled:
 "Hooray fer tn Pearlhunter
 The bluffs caught up the cheer that followed and flung 1t 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 it lay in the finders palm.
 "This ones rounder than them other two. An it's got a shlnier sheen. Course I cayn't say p'intedIy. but l putt it at not less'n five thou san"
 The Pearlhunter was restless. There was a frail woman back in the cabin at Fallen Rock to whom the find ing of the pearl would mean more than to anybody else in the world. II 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 tht. first flush of excitement died down. IL is not one camp in a thousand that ever sees 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. "Th' fiies'll be at 'em."
 And I 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 a cor ner out of the cloth spread down by the fire, wrapped the pearl up ln it. and put 1t carefully away in his 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 off 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 hOrnplpe, and who was now gone back to the fire. ''bring me my Or shotgun an coat. I reckon I'll camp at Fallen Rock t'night"
 The Pearlhunter protested against his going to such trouble; but the Boss had his way.
