He snatched It trom the hand of his •
companion anil held It under the full j
clare of the Jack light. Next moment I
he had handed It back and was drlv- [
Ing the boat to shore, where the 8rst j
glance at the peculiar markings of the |
mussel Instantly threw the whole j
camp into the wildest excitement
They spread down by the light of j
the fire the whitest cloih the camp af- j
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 t
fallen star. It passed from hand to
hand, the pearl fishers struggling with
ouch other for the privilege of holding
It
"t never see'd a one b'fore," cried
the oldest "clammer" present "but 1
knowed hit were a Blue Moon th' mln- I
ute I lamped th' shell."
The pearl, passing from hand to
hand, had come round to the Boss
again, who. stooping close to the fire
licht. examined It through a small
hand lens such as most pearl fishers
carry. "1'earl hunter," he said, turning i
to the young man, "you shorely air
lucky I You've found y'ur pearl—an*
a fortune It were!"
"Then It's you that's lucky," was
the stow answer. "It's not mine."
find the others not been too excited,
they might have noticed that his Hps
were drawn; his voice strained.
The grizzled o'd 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
pression 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
man's 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."
Toe hawkish glower left the blue
eyes of the older man, leaving him
the frank-faced old Boss again. He
studied his young friend curiously.
"Well, I'll be damn'd I" he chuckled j
good-naturedlv to himself, still study
Ing the other from under the edges of
his eyes. "Say," he continued, look
ing tip frankly. "1 hain't got a derti
bit more claim to it than 1 got to the
Bank of Ing'and. If you fancy I have
gut claims. I hereby gives an' conveys
'em t' you—an' if that hain't good
law. it's square deolln' b'twlxt man
an' man; an' that's better'n law any
I day."
"Von mmn it?"
, Tlit- younger miin fingered t'ne ponr!
as If I: had suddenly assumed a new
value.
I "If yon wan't* Insult me, Jlst let on

; ner of th>-ir kind. the other pearl livli

' man that found it. lie hail become an
I object of winder at:d curious ndndra

worlil could possibly have so (listIn

I one of their number snatched off his
l battered hat and yelled:
j "Hooray fer th' Pearlhunterl"
Tb» bluffs caught up the clieer thit
j followed and Ibmc It back in multl
I plied echoes, clear and far up and
I down the night-bound shore. The
I Boss, still hungry for the feel of the
jewel, reached forth a grimy finger
j and meditatively stirred the pearl
where It lay In the finder's palm.
1 "This one's rounder than them
j other two. An' It's got a shinier
sheen. Course I cayn't say p'lntedly,
but I puit It at not less'n five thou
san\"
I The Pearlhnnter was restless.
There was a frail woman back In the
cabin at Fallen Rock to whom the find
ing of the i>earl would mean more
than to anybody else In the world. It
would mean—the man's heart warmed
with the thought, as his mind revert
ed to tile story of the afternoon—
back to the house on a hill that over
looked the river—and good-by to the
cough forever.
But It was some time before the
first flush of excitement died down. It
Is not one camp In a thousand that
ever sees a Blue Moon. The value of
It was still under discussion when the
Boss happened to remember the fish
still lying In the boat.
"Th' fish!" he exclaimed. "Th'
flies'll be at 'em."
"And 1 must be getting home." The
Pearibunter was quick to seize the
• chance.
I Followed by the others, tire Boss
I we* down to the boat—not, however,
until the Penrlhunter had torn a cor
| ner out of the cloth spread down by
the firt\ wrapped the pearl up In It.
J and put It carefully away In his
1 pocket.
Insisting on relieving the Boss from
rowlug ou tlie way back, lie took his
place at tne oars ana waited ror tne
boat to bo pushed off into the stream.
But the Boss, with his hand upon the
how, stood hesitatingly before giving
the filial shove.
"Shorty," he called to the man who
had danced the hornpipe, and who
was now gone back to the fire, "bring
me my oP shotgun an' coat I reckon
Til camp at Fallen Rock t'nlght."
The rear! hunter protested hgalnst
his going to such trouble; but the
Boss had his way.
"That pearl's Intlrely too valuable
to take chances on," he muttered, lay
ing his coat in the bow, with the shot
gun across It, giving the final shove to
the boat and leaping In. "I reckon
I'll Jlst stick aronnd till y'u git It In
th' bank t'morrow. That hell-hound,
th' Red Mask, stuck up th' Jilllford
stage down th' river last week. Your
Blue Moon would b^ nuts t* him; an'
we did make a right smart fuss when
y'u found It."
lie shifted the six-shooter .In his
pocket from between the edge-of the
sent and his hip, picked up the shot
gun and examined the caps on the
tubes.
"You c'n all talk about those new
fangled six-guns that wan't', but they
cayn't nothln' come up with a good oP
scntter-lock when things git tight."
The young man at the oars made no
reply to these remarks. He was think
ing of that hit of flaming cloth behind
the chink at the cabin. For a moment
the Impulse came on him to tell the
Buss, but he decided to keep his own
counsel.
The moon had poked her round face
up over the hills by the time they
landed at Fallen Rock. The Pearl
hunter picked up the big bass and led
the way to the cabin up under the
cliff.
The candle was still shining out
through the one small south window,
the dimmer for the moonlight, a little
square of luminous yellow set In the
gray and ragged logs. Full of the big
news he bore, the young man hurried
up the slope. The pearl almost
seemed to become a creature of souse
and sympathy; to feel warm ngainst
him; the luster of It to shine through
his porket.
When within a few feet of the door
he heard his mother cough—hissing;
whistling; choky. He dropped the fish
and darted in at the door.
She stood stooped in front of her
clialr, clutching the table, ller hand

write. Blood was pouring from her
mouth and fulling to the floor. He
sprang at her. She clutched his arm:
bung to him. Ho would not have be
lieved It possible she had such force
In her fingers. She struggled painful
ly to clioke back the blood; then
strove pitifully to speak. No word
came—only that awful whistling hiss

her eyes—the eyes that In their day
had been so wonderful. They were
trying hard to tell him something—
words her lips were not able to
frame. He strove to read their mes

gasp; her bodv suddenly stiffened,
quivered, relaxed—and he eased her
back Into the chair. The Iron-Gray
Woman was dead.
The Pearlhutiter raised her hands
to cross them on her lap. Some ob
ject fell from the iax fingers to the
floor. It was a soldier's glove, stiff
and mildewed with age.
