Pearl of the
Crossroads
How She Met Her Fate."
By FREDERICK BRIGCS
Copyright by Frank A. Munsey Co.
Some one said that a sallorman was
good for nothing but to chase about toe
"world and send people presents. Pearl
Smith had known this all her life,
though perhaps she had never resolved
It Into Just that expression.
She drew the line at having more
than one man on the same ship. Still,
this was not at all Inconvenient, for
there were sometimes no less than four
teen men-of-war, besides a score of
merchant ships. In the crossroads of
the Pacific at one time.
The girl came by the prosaic nuiiie of
Smith because her father's name had
been something else In some other
country. lie came to llonoluhi before
the cable was lu good working order
and remained. Marrying a half caste
Kanaka girl, he had kept a sailors'
boarding house on King's road since
Pearl was a baby. The presents had
been coming In since the little girl was
big enough to climb on a sallorman s
knee, and their volume Increased with
her size. She was grown up at four
teen.
To see her then was like being wak
ened from a sweet sleep on a balmy
afternoon by having great clusters of
red, red roses pressed to one's cheeks
Young men dropping In at tin- Cross
roads swore that they would newr go
to sea again, only to ship with the next
tide for the Indian ocean in search of a
pearl to match her skin.
She was like Honolulu days. The
shimmering softness of her skin match
ed the warm afternoon skies. Ulch
reds of the island sunsets burned In
her full, dimpled mouth Tropic twi
lights lay behind her Inky eyelashes,
deepening to midnight in her long hair.
Men-of-war's men and merchant sail
ors sent different presents. The uavy I
men leaned toward fancy jewelry and
manicure sets, while the traders stuck
to silk, uncut rubles, loose pearls. ivory
fans and ostrich plumes.
This from the young men. To enu
merate the juuk that was dumped at
the feet of this island goddess by silly
old sea captains and others would be
to copy the cargo bills of an liast and
West India tradesman. There would
also be a list of small animals and
birds, with a number of arotic treas
ures appended. Pearl kept what she
fancied, and her father sold the rest.
As for a girl accepting presents from
a dozen men at the same time, It must
be remembered that Pearl lived neither I
east of Frisco nor west of Suez, which
is only another way of saying that the
girl was bred In a man's country, where
anything a woman gets is so much for
her gain and no less for her honor.
New admirers invariably meant more
presents. But when a sallormau can
Jolly his superior officer and get any
thing he wants Just for the asking wo
men had better beware of him. When
he stands six feet in his socks, laughs
out of big blue eyes and conceals a
cello note in a drawling voice so much
the worse for the women. Heine—that
was as far as they got with his name
aboard ship, and it will suffice here—
Heine was all of this and more. lie
was an American bluejacket, boat
swain's mate of the destroyer Shark.
There is one amusement the Ila
walians have which Americans do not
possess. We ore enthusiastic surf bath
ers and are good swimmers, but a
sight that is seen In Hawaiian waters
Is never seen on an American coast
A Hawaiian takes with hlin to the
beach a board, usually about Iwlce his
length. This board he carries out as
far as he can: then, placing himself on
it. It bears him, forced by the waves,
back again to the beach. Those who
are not expert at this exercise may lie
flat on the board, but those who are
trained to It stand erect, balancing
their bodies as they roll toward the
shore.
He met Pearl at Waiklld beach. She
was shooting the surf when Heine saw
her first Standing upright with out
flung arms, she balanced on her polish
ed board of kamanl wood as it raced
ahead of a giant breaker. Swift as th6
wave she flashed past the swimming
sailor, but as the waters broke over his
bead he remembered every line of her
beautiful body. The grace of her atti
tude struck him harder than the wave.
Turning, he swam strongly toward the
beach, where the spent roller had land
ed the fairy surf rider.
Half a dozen men were begging Pearl
to be allowed to take her board out to
the reef again, but she laughed them
away with a flash of milk white teeth
and struggled out alone. Ilelne met
her a hundred fathoms from the beach,
where the water came almost to his
shoulders as he stood on the sand.
"I'll carry your board for you!" he
cried as the girl broke through a wave
almost upon him.
Startled, she turned her head, anil the
board slipped, striking on her flower
mouth. As the blood came Heine
cnught her In his arms. The wave, re
ceding, shut the other bathers from
view, and for ten seconds thesailorman
held the girl close to his heart.
"My lip will swell!" she panted,
struggling to free herself.
But Heine jollied her. Just as he jol
lied the commanding officer of the
Shark, and within half an hour she
bad checked her surf board and bath
ing costume nt the bathhouse and was
rilling back to town with him, holding
lier handkerchief ;« the swelling lip.
Three days later tho Ueet was ready
to Hail. Dusky singers with their tiny
guitars strummed the sad "Aloha Oe"
—"Farewell"—in every street Pearl
managed her other admirers so that
Heine might have the last evening.
When the time came for a flnal good
by Heine told her that he was coming
hack to Honolulu some day.
Pearl studied his face; then she
pouted.
"That's what they all say!"
The sailor's eyes danced as he kissed
her bruised mouth; then he was gone.
This time i'earl did not look for a
present. She would have preferred the
sailor back again. Hut the gift came,
it was a brooch set with n genuine
ruby. Heine bought the uncut stone
from a lascar mess attendant It cost
him $05 to have it cut and polished,
aud the ruby was valuable.
"To match your lips—from Heine,"
was the word that came with the
Jewel.
Pearl's heart was tilled with fear.
Sailoruien who sent presents never
came back. Did she uot have cream
and rose pearls from tho remittance
man In Ceylon and a black diamond
to rival her eyes? There was only one
other nihil whom she had longed to see
again—an English mate who sent her
a perfect pair of pigeon blood rubles
from lloiuhay. The Jewels were torn
from the eyes of a Hindu god, nnd the
Hindus tore the mate's eyes from his
head In revenge. Hut Pearl did not
know this. She fastened Heine's gift
mi tier ln.»<n:n anil put the other Jewels
away
Heine was discharged from the na
v:il service shortly aftt-r Ills visit to
Hawaii. and. without informing Pearl,
lie returned to Honolulu. lie had serv

One tl::y he lent over his engrav

as IVnri's tni. e limited through the lat
ti e partition. She was talking with
the jeweler in tiie front of the store
Peering through tile slat.s. Heine saw
a number of Jewel boxes spread out on
the counter between them. The Jewel
er was speaking:
"I>o you get all these as presents.
Miss Smith':"
"Oh. of course The sailors—they are
so good to nil'.'1 she laughed. "But
what are they worth—plus, brooches,
rings, watches and ail?"
The ex-sailor sank back, stunned. A
look crept into liis face that his com
manding oi'.icer had seen when his
boatswain s mate reported "both an
chors carried away, sir," as the disa
bled Shark wallowed with the wind to
ward the thundering rocks of Cape
Flattery. Heine had trusted his an
chors. Now lie thought of his early
training—of his sisters and the girls
back tn the Kansas home—his stand
ards of honor for women.
The jewe'er was speaking again.
"I will allow you £220."
"Will that buy n very fine watch,
with diamonds'?" she asked.
"A very line watch, but not with
many diamonds." !>_• replied.
"Then 1*11 wait More will come,"
and she walked out.
The Jeweler found his engraver sit
ting listlessly, with idle hands, and
eyes that stared into space. He sus
pected the vitiating influence of the
tropics.
"<!o out nnil pet a cool drink," he
called cheerily. "Don't let the heat get
away with you!"
Heine thanked his employer and
went out. lie had a cooling draft and
was soon hack ly his bench. The next
day he saw a real estate man and tried
to sell his bungalow. as he Intended to
sail from Hawaii on the Mongolia,
which was due. homeward bound, in
two weeks.
A few days before the China mail
came in Heine was startled again by
bis sweetheart's voice. He heard every
word as she offered the pigeon blood
rubles for sale. The jeweler was in
ecstasies The stones were flawless
and perfectly matched. A deal was
made for a beautiful diamond incrust
ed watch in exchange for a number of
Jewels, including the rubles.
Heine had never seen the g'.rl more
beautiful. Her face, shaded by a wide
hat of delicate straw and rich flow
ers. seemed touched with the brush of
melancholy. Iler neck was bare, and
the point of the low V of her white
gown was secured by a ruby brooch—
his ruby.
"I'll take this one," she was saying,
"and you must cut these words In the
heart"
She stood there gazing wistfully at
the watch for a long time. When she
had left the store the jeweler brought
it back to his engraver.
"Get this out as soon as possible," he
said, depositing the watch with the
slip of words to be engraved.
neine glanced at the slip. It read
"To Heine—from Pearl."
Pushing back his stool, he sprang to
his feet and faced the jeweler.
"I've been judging that little Kanaka
girl all tills time from a wrong stand
point!" he shouted; then, hatless and
coatless, lie dashed from the building.
"neat's getting in its work," the jew
eler mumbled to himself. "That's the
trouble with these newconicrs—can't
stand the heal,'* and he shook his head
sadly, for the newcomer was an excel
lent engraver, and he let the gin alone.
Heine overtook the girl in front of
the Young hotel, and there, utterly ob
livions of the staring public, he caught
her Again in his arms, kissing her per
fect month, no longer bruised, but soft
as a ml hibiscus blossom.
