"When your fattier is wen, mere ■■
he more money coming to Box 23. He
can pay me buck then himself."
He said it slowly—like a man laying
his last earil on the table, and the odds
against him.
But the effect was utterly oui*>sIte
to what he had dreaded. ITer eyes
sprang to his face, and there was
something In them he had not seen
there before, lie knew In that In
stant that she had not misunderstood
him. With a freedom from which the
high moment took even the tiniest
Bemblancc of boldness, she Stepped to
ward him and laid her hand on his
arm.
"You're wonderful! I don't suppose
anybody else in the world would do
such a thing for folks like—us—for
strangers. Forgive me that I didn't
thank you. It was all so marvelous!
liut I do, I do. over and over!"
The puzzled misgivings on the wind
seasoned face of the man incited up
Into a slow smile.
"It's nothing—" he said.
That was the best he could do, the
utmost syllable he could muster.
"Nothing! When Daddy Is to be
well, and the good days are coming
back! How can I ever thank you!"
"It's nothing." he repeated. "I'd Just
ns soon you"—he hesitated; finally
added the word, "folks—had the mon
ey for a while as to let It stand there
in the bank Idle."
"Yes, but how ninny would look nt It
tluit way? I'm suro tln> bunk wouldn't;
nor the doctor; nor anybody—but
you. Except Paddy," she added. "lie
would—when he was well. He was
like—you."
"Anyhow," he said, as If continuing
some previous remark—some remark
lie had doubtless been turning over In
his mind, since he had let fall no word
of It—"the first thing is to sell the
pearl."
He stepped toward the open door.
She followed him. With the air of a
man seeking some excuse to linger, he
turned at the threshold.
"Sure you're not afraid?"
"Afraid! With Daddy?" A thought
clouded her eyes. Her face fell. "I'm
only too safe," she continued In a low
voice. "Nobody in the Flatwoods
would venture near this place. Tiny
think It's—ifs—"
She did mil finish. The man guessed,
and stood silent.
lint the future held too big a hope
for !i'>r to stay long under a chance
cloud. She raised her face after a
moment :t'id held out her hand, lie
grasped It in both his own.
"Don't feel bad." she sn'd. "because
you have no name but—I'earlhunter. I
haven't any vhlicr but—but—"
"Wild Kose." he finished.
He watched ihe dimples come hack;
and tiie S'>ft twilight In her eyes; and
a shaft of bronze sunset doing straight
magic with her hair. He felt her band
slipping out from between bis—the
cushions »t' her palm: her soft lingers
—and turned awny.
Down m-iir the flat rock at the p<»>l
he Inoki >1 burl; and found the cabin
through the Irees. She uas still stand
ing In the door. He waved his hand.
Her white arm shot up In the twilight,
outlined for a brief instant against the
gray logs.
CHAPTER VI.
An Arm Across the Moon.
The cabin t>: Fallen U«»ck was very
gloomy us the rearlhtinter came down
the bluff, walked around to the front
door and pushed it open. The lire had
long since died in the stove. Iu the
twilight the interior of the cabin was
like 'light. He hastened to light the
candle. The sight of his mother's
chair, when the light brought It out of
the glooui, oppressed him heavily.
He stepped out of the cabin, think
ing to sit upon the door-step a while.
The moon was not due till midnight,
but the sky was already spiked with
stars; and so blue and deep that it
appeared to have no bottom. A good
eye seemed to be all that was noedeif
to see clear through.
The bottom grew again in the sky;
the stars came back out of the deep
azure. The man's eyes opened. IP was
the sound of oars that opened them.
For the first moment he did not know
that he had been asleep. A glance at
the east, all a-tlare with the close
coming of the moon, convinced him
that he had slept—for hours.
Midnight. What were oars doing on
the Wabash at midnight? The creak
ing of them, accompanied by the dull
clupp-elupp of the oar locks, drew
nearer. Presently there came the gruff
tones of men, surly, and short-spoken.
When even with the house-boat the
rowing ceased, and he knew the boat
was being allowed to drift.
"Hello-o, up therM*
It was the hoarse, gruff voice of the
Boss. A day and half a night 1 The
finding of the Blue Moon had been eel
BOBBS-MER.RIUL COWANY
"Hello-o!" lie answered.
He heard the Boss swear and say to
the others: "There! What'd I tell
y'u! X knowed he wouldn't be asleep."
The hoarse voice, thickened a good
deal by the celebration, boomed across
the water again and bounded against
the face of the clift.
"Louie Solomon struck town t'nlght.
He'll be down in th' mornin'."
"Let 'in come."
"Stick out fer th' five thousan'."
The Pearlhunter did not answer.
"15c up t'morrow, sometime," the
voice boomed out aguin.
"Come jibe»d."
The Sight of His Mother's Chair . . .
Oppressed Him Heavily.
The tossed buck no further
word.
So Louie Solomon, the smoothest,
trickiest, shiftiest of them till, would
lie "down In the mornln'." The eyes
of the l'earlhunter narrowed. Ills jaws
snapped tokcIhor. lie turned and re
entered tlir ratlin. The candle had
burned low. The draft that set In
from the open door had Buttered It
deep. He blew it out, flung off his
clothes' and rolled Into bed.
"Five thousand!" he muttered, drop
pin;; into the sleep that comes easy to
the woodsman. "Not even Louie Sol
omon can beat me If I stick right here.
That's what I'll ito—stick—right here.
I'm not nskin' more, and he shan't
have it for-rless—"
So long as the pulse of the woods
beat normal the sleep of the Pearl
hunter was sound. The hool of the
owl; the whine of the wildcat; the
howl of the wolves; never disturbed
him. In cabin or house-boat, or out
under th<» trees, be could sleep through
It all. Hut let a false note creep into
tlie wild medley and it instantly
reached him. It was his training, and
could be counted, on.
Some tUni" nwa.v In «lie dead nigtit
the false note came—guarded footfalls
outside the cabin, and close to the
wnll. Without start or slir the Pearl
hunter's eyes came open, every sense
at keenest pitch. It must have been
near morning, for the moon stood al
most straight in the open door. He slid
his hand down his side, felt for the
revolver under the edge of his thigh,
laid It across his chest, nnd covered
•both hand nnd revolver with a corner
of the sheet.
A form blotted the moonlight upon
the floor with a living splotch of shad
ow. An nrm enme in at the door; a
hand fumbled behind the casement.
That was all. Xo face appeared. A
moment or two, rtjd the arm disap
peared : the splotch of shadow slid off
the square of moonlight: the soft foot
falls slipped away around the east end
of the cabin and muffled into silence.
Very softly the Pearlhunter rose to
his feet. The light outside was far
too bright tn risk venturing forth. It
would have betrayed hirn instantly.
He glanced around tlW cabin. The
moon had passed by the east window,
so that it was in the shadow. He
stole across the floor and peeped out
through a broken pane.
A man was- picking his way up the
bluff. He seemed in no great hurry,
nor in the least disturbed. At the top
of the bluff he stopped and looked
back. In his brief instant of pause be
fore striding away into the woods the
moon picked him out clear as day. It
was the Man-in-the-Fancy-Vest
There was no more sleep for the
Pearlhunter. " He left the window,
wont to the cabin door and felt behind
the casement where the hand had
groped. His fingers came in contact
with n tinv bundle weefcred between t

the logs.and the door frame, lie drew
it forth and unrolled it tn the moon
light, deeming It Imprudent to light
the candle. Even before the moon
lierms fell upon the thing he knew by
a certain disquieting premonitiouwhat
it would prove to be—a red mask.
He felt along the wall to the chink
above the table and p iked his linger"
between It and the loirs, where he had
concealed the packet the even'ng thev
moved Into the cabin. It was still
there. He drew It forth and compared
it with the other. They were almost
identical, and of a pattern with the
one he had seen that afternoon at the
three-gabled cabin.
