COPYTS-I'5'HT BY" THE BOBBS-MERRJ LL COMPANY
He sue uo»vu uj i ae luoie anu
dropped his chin in his palm. .What
did it mean? What must It mean—
this last one? Ho knew the meaning
of the first—dropped by chance. TTe
had a very plausible surmise as to the
story of the other, the one with the
knife thrust through It at the three
galiled cabin. But this one—this 'ait
one?
The man wanted to hide that bit of
cltfth right there. But why? The Pearl
hunter raked his brain for the answer.
Why ? lie must have been ignorant
J that the other way hidden behind the
chink, or why should he have taken
such pains to hide tills one,? He was
probably Ignorant of the fact that he
had dropped the other one in the cab
In that night; possibly did not know
where he had lost It. It was even con
ceivable that the loss of it may have
occasioned him no small anxiety. If
he did not know that he hail dropped
the other mask In the cabin, he prob
ably was unaware that the I'earihunt
er knew him. The young man sat still
a long time over that thought.
That he could with such apparent
readiness supply himself with "another
mask after the first was lost suggested
a near-by rendezvous, undoubtedly
somewhere In the Klatwoods—a ren
dezvous, ora confederate. But that
was unlike him—to have a confed
erate. ITe was known to work alone.
And his horse—he would not likely al
low himself to get far from It. He
f wouldn't dare ride it Into the village.
! Kocket. the faunas thoroughbred of
j the Ited Mask, was well known. And
a horse can not be easily disguised.
But always, no matter where his
thought strayed, like a man lost in
the woods and traveling In a circle, he
invariably came back to the starting
point—the question : Why did he hide
the mask In the cabin? One thing was
certain. He didn't hide It without a
purpose.
He seemed to feel some intangible.
Indefinable force for evil forming
about him—like spider webs across the
face: delicately effective: hideously ef
ficient. A kind of dread crept out of
[ the silence and the solitude and
| gripped Ids spirit. Danger: death—
the Ked Mask Juggled with them as a
; king Juggles empires. Why didu't he
j draw there in the saloon; why didn't
I he draw at the fence? There was
I death In his eyes.
Hie scene III me cnooi nnn —
j evening crossed Ms mind, when by
I chance lie lni<! teamed tlie secret of
j the man's identity; si secret shared
I by no one else in the Fiatwoods; a
j secret he dared not reveal for want
j of proof. He had often thought of It.
i Tonight freshened It In his mind com

all too brier" word that had reached
him out of the seiled, past, cuijie to
him again. I oni: and !ine he sat with
| his head bowd over tlie table.
1 Pawn at the east window surprised
J him. He stepped tn the cabin dour.
, Tlie square of mooi H^ht upon the floor
l wr« pale and sickly. Oreat shafts of
nronze thrust up out of the east and
dimmed the stars. A mist lay alone
the river like a cloud that had fallen
j from the sky and loved the* warm
I earth so well that It refused fo return.
I He stood in the door and watched
the world wake tit>—his world: the
I only world he knew. A half sleepy
twitter here and there anions the
J trees; a croak down by the water's
Iedge; a squawk over in the bayou ; and
on the hither ground a trill now and
I then of distilled witchery—he knew
them all. every voice. A crow wal
lowed along in the purple light and
I rasped the silence with his raucous
j call. He was answered by another
from somewhere across In the bot
toms. The woods lifted Its thousand
voices; a multitude shouting, as at the
coming of a hero. And the hero was
at hand. Tlie gates of dawn opened
and he drove in. Bronze turned to
gold; the hills away in the south bared
their heads r a soft breeze crooned
along over the trees and blew out the
morning star.
In the early light the rearlhunter
searched the ground about the door
step for any tracks that might have
been left by the night prowler. In
the hard and moldy open ground he
found the marks of a boot. The heel
had ooly touched the ground once or
twice. He was struck by Its small
size. It was said by some that the
Red Mask had been a gentleman and
an artist before he took to the road.
The Pearlhunter could well believe It,
for certainly no other boot In the Flat
woods could leave a print so small.
The heel had been somewhat wom,
so that the nails protruded slightly.
They had left a very distinct row of
j prints around the edge of the mark.
Ih« track was wade by tiie rizlit boeJ.
\ He minted one of ttie lelt. nails
i showed. From the circumstances he
concluded that the outer heel-cap of
■ the right hoot had come off. allowing
the nails to protrude.
It would he hard to say what train
I of thought the .finding of the heel print
plunged the man back Into ns he
straightened and stood crumpling the
two patches of stiff cloth In his hand.
His gray eyes and passive face were
hard to read. An old broken crock
lay against the cabin near the step.
He picked it up. turned It up-side
down over the heel print and went
back into the cabin.
He kindled a fire In the cook stove,
and when he had It going good,
dropped both masks In and watched
them burn to cinders—and afterward
raked the ashes.
The Penrlhunter. with the horse
sense 20 years of hard knocks had
beaten Into him. knew that this was
his day—his one first day—his to
seize; to have: to hold.
Five thousand dollars; a gray ghost
In the easy chair In the cabin of the
three cables; a girl that "trusted" him
—nnd the big day going! It wns
enough to make a tm.n restless.
The forenoon was nearly gone when,
through the *rees up the river, he
caught the bright glint of the sun upon
oar Jdades. Kven at that distance he
knew the craft—Louie Solomon's long,
white six-oared ski IT.
Broom In hand, the Pearlhunter was
• making a prodigious dust and clatter
among the chairs and boxes when the
pearl buyer. short and pudgy—Jew
from bis shrewrt eves to his 'at feet—
stepj»ed before the door.
"House cleaning, Imin'dt It?"
"Oh. Ju«t digging myself >:it."
Standing his broom against the wall,
he stepped outside. He knew Louie
Solomon well—what pearl fisher dM
not?—aud Louie Solomon knew him.
Like two wrestler* 011 the mar the two
stood looking each other over—a man
that wanted to sell something: a man
that wanted to buy H—with the odds
on the one that could put up the big
gest bluff. The world could be halved
Just there.
"Cup by d'e shprlng?"
"A gourd."

course, he hail no means of knowing
the message the Boss had shouted up
from the boat the night before.
The Pearlhunter stepped inside the
door and picked up his broom. Out of
the little end of his eye he saw the
Jew watching him. He made a swipe
with the bro'oiu as If to go on with his
sweeping. It was n i;lose grapple of
wits. But ti e lure of the pearl was
too much for I.ouie Solomon, ne had
to come to It at lust: and he had to
come square. Taking off his hat, he
looked back over his shoulder and
again drew his sleeve across his brow.
"I'm hearin* you picked up a blue
one."
The Peai!hunter leaned his broom
against the table and came out upon
the door step.
"Who was telling you?"
"Oh. dg,v talk. You sell him?"
"ir 1 get my price. '
"How much you want It?"
"Five thousand."
The little Jew almost fell over. His
fat luinds punched the air full of ex
clamation points.
"Tlve t'ousan'! lTImmell You-pearl
fishers Iss nil alike—all crazy."
"That's my price."
He stepped back Inside the door and
reached for his broom. The other
hopped across the door sill and caught
his arm.
"lllmniel! Let It go dot broom I I

The I'earlhunter followed In silence.
He d'.d not ask how the other knew
the Blue Moon was In the bank, know
ing what river men were when drink
hud loosed their tongues. After days
and weeks at the clam rakes and the
mucky vats, with little more than an
occasional grunt between them, three
fingers of "squirrel" whisky would set
their tongues bobbing like a cork In a
suck hole.
Louie Solomon carried three rowers
In his long skiff, all hardy river men
that had been with him for years.
Each man wore a heavy six-shooter In
plain sight at his belt. Some said that
he paid these men fancy wages, and
that he employed them as much for
their ability with rhe revolver as for
their skill at the oars.
It was far past noon when the white
skiff drew up to the wharf. A crowd,
mostly river men, was there to meet
it—and more coming. It seemed ev
erybody in Buckeye knew what was
going on. In front of the Mud Hen
the little Jew paused, rolled his furry
tongue, and jerked his hand toward
the door. The I'earlhunter shook his
head.
"Wait till we get back from the
bank."
The Jew stabbed the air with his ex
pressive hands.
"Himmel! It's on me!"
Bat the Pearlhunter was far too
wise to fall for that trick.
"Thanks," he said. "But business

crowd followed.
Thi' nid hanker Invited them batk
into his private office mid stmt the
door. It was the tirsi time the Pearl
hunter had ever lieen further In a bank
than the lobby, and only once in his
life thai far. The solid and substan
tial luxury of the plaee was a reve
lation to him, even a matter of Intense
curiosity, liut the cumulative effect
of It was to give hlin courage, to make
him feel he was somebody.
It seemed to the Pearlhunter that
the banker was gone a long time when
he went to brine the pearl from the
safe. Whiffle dually re-entered the
private ollice the owner of the pearl
saw why. He had hunted up some
where about the bank a small box, a
tiny Jewel case, covered with green
plush, and was carrying the pearl in
it—u little tiling, but very graceful
and gracious. The act went to the
heart of the I'eariliunter and Immense
ly increased his confidence and self
respect, which was probably tlic very
thing the wise old bunker hoped it
would do.
Louie Solomon knew fresh water
pearls. Probably there wns no great
er expert living. His tlrsr glance at '
the Itlue Moon, when the lid of the <
tiny plush case was raised, betrayed I
him. Forgetful of the level eyes
watching his slightest move, studying
his every expression, hi- pouueed upon j
the glorious Jewel and caressed It with |
hitf hands, devoured it with his pro
truding eyes—the crafty trailer lost |
for the moment in the expert; the j
Jew in the man.
Hut it was only for the moment. The
enthusiast vanished; In his place the
hard-faced trailer, lie straightened:!
set the box. with the lid still up. on J
the table that occupied the center of I
the ollice floor, and looked around at
the others.
"So-ih—I" he said, with a slither of |
Ids hand towat I the pearl—a gesture
only Louie Solomon could make.
"I'ndt dot is-; it for which d\vpearl
fishers s'imuUI go crazy."
Hut even Louie Solomon couldn't
quite put over Ills accustomed bluff in
the face of such a gem. It drew Ids
eyes back in spile of him. Taking a
lens from his pocket, he stopped over !
it again.
"You no see dot flaw?" he said, aft
er a short inspection.
The IVarlhutiter took the lens and I
looked with quick, studied care. Some-'
times the most perfect pearl will de- ]
velou a flaw In ripening.
