Dirck is disturbed to learn that, though he had recently reconciled
with his father, upon his father's death the estate was left to Dirck's
uncle with provision
for a small annuity to Dirck. Feeling that he can expect little
sympathy from his uncle and that he should at least have the jewels which
his mother had intended to leave to him, Dirck steals the bag containing
the jewels, changes his identity, and leaves the country, first to Canada,
then Europe, and finally to Algeria. In the process he realizes that
watching after the bag with the jewels has difficulties he had not anticipated.
Unlike most of Terhune's later novels, this story has no dog anywhere in it, but does feature the falcon Fathma.
