floor and turned away lialf guiltily.
She had her hand upon the curtained
entrance of the west room, and he no
ticed that it was carpeted, and was
otherwise furnished quite in keeping
with the room In which he stood, cer
tainly in very decided contrast to the
room upon the east.
But he hail no time to reflect on all
these things. for the girl reappeared
In a moment carrying a cello, which
she placed between tits old man's
knees. She put the bow In his right
hand and lifted his left to the strings.
He laid ills cheek down upon the In
strument ; grew quiet. The faltering
how tried to wake the strings, but In
vain. The old man's body seemed to
shrink together. His chin dropped
down upon his breast. But the next
Instant he sat upright and rigid; his
wide eyes, groping around, found the
rsarlhwiter. and he started to rise—
grappled up. strained up, as if by n
power outside himself.
The clrl caught the falling bow from
his hand: drew the cello to her and
deftly twisted the strings In tune.
The iVarlhunter stood amazed at
what followed. The tones of the cel
lo seemed to reach out Into the quiet
evening, purple with the close of day,
and gather up the drowsy sounds of
wood and stream, and bring them in
and strew them down like falling rose
leaves—the fall of a distant oar; the
lap of water upon cool rocks; the
pulse pf a cifrront that rose and foil;
the croon of contented trees under a
serene sunset. He did not know that
what he heard was Beethoven's Incom
parably witching Moonlight Sonata.
The old man's head had drooped for
ward, his eyes were closed. Ids face
muffled in his rumpled heard upon his
breast. Leaning the cello against the
chair, the girl picked up a limp arm,
laid It about her neck, and led him
away, iiko a itrowsy mini, tnrougn me
curtained entrance of the west room.
With the departure of the girl the
picture dissolved: the evening world
became a vast emptiness, an emptiness
the silence poured In 10 fill. It caught
the Pearthunter in Its Hood; It held
him; overwhelmed him; found out lit-"
tie nool;s and crannies of his nature
that he never knew were there.
The curtains parted. A soft step
crossed the carpet. The world came
back. A deep breath swelled the.chest
of the I'earlhunter—deep as if it had
heen the only breath he had taken
since the son-r began.
"Next to the thrush song, that was
the most wond<*ful thing I ever
heard!"
The girl looked up from rearranging
the cushions in the oltl man's chair.
"Paddy taii^lit me. He said tt was
my gift. He had the deepest, soft
voice." sne went on. more to herself
than to him. "I.Ike the low tones of
the cello, though ii always made him
sad to sing, l.ong ago, when I was a
child, he used to hold me in his arms
and slug to itie. He was a wonderful
cellist before—!"
She bowed her head over the chair
and the 1 • aillnmter fancied he saw
tears. Hut her face *as soon up
again, brave and cheerful.
"You could sing."
"lie!" It wus about the most start
ling thing she could have said. The

dry splinters of a grin pinched tip the
corners of his eyes. "I'd have the
woods to myself if I tried."
She looked at him. The tiniest sug
gestion of a frown seemed to be trying
to flnij a place on her face.
"l Know wnat i nm snylng when I
say tliat. You could sing. Tour voice
Is soft and low mid strong—(ike Dad
dy's. I didn't notice It till a little bit
ago. but I think I felt It all along. I
guess that's why I trusted you—be
cause your voice is like Daddy's."
The IVarlhunter% wus standing
quite close to her. His eyes drank In
the plump white mystery of her throat;
the bit of ribbon rising and falling
upon her bosom. It was an old ribbon,
old and worn. He studied her dres*s.
It had been many a day since It was
new. lit' recalled the old mail's coat
and his shoes. They were as old as
hers. He glanced around the cabin;
stole a quick look toward the east
roo'ni—her room. The IVarlhunter
was slow—in some things—hut some
how he always managed to arrive lu
time.
"Wild IJnse!"
Her eyes jumped to his*. She lot him
see how much the name pleased her.
"You've Just said a mighty big thing
to me. You've said you trust me.
That's a big thing for a girl to say to
n man. The Almighty alone knows
whether I'll do to trust. Now, don't
think hard of what I'm about to say.
And I wish I knew some nice way to
say It. Hut I don't know any way only
just to say it. Don't you need help—
money, 1 mean?"
A succession of emotions flitted
across the girl's face—pleasure at the
name; bewilderment as he talked on;
and at the last, a smile. The man
watched J lie smile. It was a brave
smile, but it had to retreat, beaten
buck by a stronger foe. Her lips drew
together; her chin quivered; she
bowed her head and buried her face
in her arms.
What had he done! Had she mis
understood him. The Fearlhuuter
Inwardly cursed his clumsiness. He
roiiiid ills hard iiiiimi stealing toward

desperate glance—no reproach In

"I don't know how I am to go on."
Her throat and neck and face flamed
crimson at the admission. "I can't

"Only your own," he blurted out.
rather imprudently, as he reflected aft
erward. for how was she to know that
he had clanceil Into her room?
"I didn't wish Daddy to miss any
thing."
The unselfishness of her act seemed
not to have entered her mind, hut It
was not lost on the Peurlhunler.
"Tiie storekeeper has been so pom1
to me, and trusted me for s'o many '
tilings. I'm nfr.iiil to think hew .ii'.i' h
I owe him. Hiii lie is old, and his wife
has been 111. It mortifies iue to have
to ask him for more credit, but I can't
let Daddy starve. Money used to come
to us before he got—hurt. Rut I
found our afterward that It always
came addressed simply to Ttox 23. Not
even the postmaster knows Daddy's
name. Neither—do—I!"
Her voice fell very low. The Pearl
hunter pitied her, for he knew what
It was like not to know "Daddy's
name."
"TJip doctor sa.vs," sue went on,
"tlmt the bullet broke n piece of skull,
so that it presses on the brnln. He
thinks a great surgeon lie knows might
be able to raise that little piece of
skull and made Daddy well. And that's
what hurts me worst of all—that I
can't have it done."
She stopped; turned her head nway.
There came into the man's level eyes
a look that the hard men of the river
had learned to know.
"Listen!" he said. "Yon h ip, trust
me. You must let me help you. You
already know the story of the Blue
Moon. Such a find always brings the
pearl buyers. They flock to it like
vultures to a carcass. They'll soon
be here—maybe tomorrow. I'll sell the
pearl, and you shall send for that sur
geon."
Like one waking from a dream to
find the dream come true—she turned
slowly and raised her face to his. The
full significance of his offer, the big
generosity of It, the immense fact of
It. escaped her in the first moments.
•Only a mere detail of it reached her.
"I—we—couldn't ever pay you back."
It was on bis tor,sue to say he didn't
expect to be paid back—that he didn't
want to be paid back, but a glance at
her somehow made such an answer im
possible. The book case gave him an
Inspiration.
"You could let me read these books."
"Why. you could do that anyway."
She looked at him In curious sur

old man's chair.
