 The Jew stooped again over the
 pearl, rolled it about upon the plush
 cushion inside the tiny jewel case. took
 small pair of calipers from his vest pocket and measured 1t, not only to determine its size but its roundness aa 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

 floor time or two, muttering to him

 But the tempest was soon over. He stopped at the corner of the table. his face smoothed serene as a garden
 and like a garden, the better for ths storm.

 The Pearlhunter glanced across the table at the banker. 'l reckon you might as we'll put 1t hack in the safe." he said. "He knows my price. and he don't seem to want to do business"
 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 study. He drew his sleeve across his brow.

 "Tell i'm mebbe he come by d'e camp t'night undt giff me chance to git it back my twenty-t'ree dollar"
 "Pll tell him when he comes in."
 The bartender wiped off the bar. The Pearlhunter was already out on the sidewalk, where the Jew soon joined him. and they walked together down to the white skiff. The three rowers were still in their places, glum as their em- plOyer was voluble.
 It was we'll toward evening when they pulled up to the landing at which the houseboat lay. Louie gave careful directions where to build the fire, and followed the Pearlhunter up through the underbrush beyond the strip of open shore, and to the cabin, tapping, every few steps, the pocket where the pearl lay. He went straight to the spring.
 '.You should eat supper nit me, hain'dt it?' he said, the dripping onurd poised in his hand.
