Why had he changed his methods now
He had laid his plans well, though
they hadn't worked out quite as he ex-

had been an accident, forced on him by
the fact that the little Jew, In his

mask off and had recognized him. 9th

him into Inconsistencies, taken the

intended taking the pearl some time

than he had expected. OF course, he
could not have foreseen that the man
he wished TO fix the crime upon would
be the first to find the body.
1t was not lost on the Pearlhunter
that he had undoubtedly crowded the
murderer close. else why had he left
the knife? But why all these elaborate
plans against him? Was 1t some an

he wish somebody to die In his place

he was not yet ready to leave the Flat

reasons. But with the last, there
flashed across the young mans mind
that scene at the fence. 1t stung him

Even though the evidence secreted In
he cabin was now in ashes, by that
lead body was the most dangerous
place in the world for him just then.
