Daylight nodded and went over to
him, placing his own arm in opposi-
ton.
SD like to go you fiutter, son, on
that proposition, he said.
The young man laughed and locked
hands with him; and to Daylight's as
constituent it was his own hand that
was forced down on the bar.
Hold on" he muttered. Gust one
more f1utter. I reckon I wasn't just
ready that time
Again the hands locked. 1t happen

Daylight's muscles slipped instantly
into defence, and, resisting vainly, his

The skill was equal, or, if anything,
the superior skill had been his.
Strength, sheer strength, had done it.
dazed and rendering, held up his own
arm and looked at it as at some new
strange thing. He did not know this
arm. 1t certainly was not the arm he
had carried around with him all the
years. The old arm? Why, it would
have been play to turn down that
young husky's. But this arm-he con-
tinued to look at it with such dubious
perplexity as to bring roar of laugh
ter from the young men.
This laugh -er aroused him. He
joined in it & first, and then his face
slowly grew grave. He leaned to-
ward the hammer-thrower.
"Son," he said, "let me whisper a
secret. Get out of here and quit
drinking before you begin.
The young fellow flushed angrilys
but Daylight held steadily on.
You listen to your dad, and let
him say few. I'm Q young man my

several years ago foE me to turn your
hand down would have been like COM

Slosson looked his incredulity, while
the others grinued and clustered
around Daylight encouragingly.
"Son, I amt given to preaching
This is the first time ever come to
the penitent forA, and you put me
there yourself-hard. I've seen few
in my time, and I amt fastidious SO
as you can notice it. But let me tell
you right now that I'm worth the devil
alone knows how many millions, and
that I'd sure give It all, right here on
the bar, to turn down your hand.

CHAPTER XVIII.

When the ferry system began to
run, and the time between Oakland
and San Francisco was demonstrated
to be cut in half, the tide Of Day-ight's
terrific expenditure started to tu.n.
Not that it really did turn, for ne
promptly vent into further invest
ments. Thousands of lots in his resi-
dence tracts were sold, and thousands
OF homes was being built. Factory sites
also were selling, and business proper
ties in the heart Of Oakland. All this
tended to a steady appreciation in the
value Of Daylight's huge holdings. But,
as Of old, he had his bunch and was
riding it. Already he had begun Dor.

not yet come, but the mfst-like squalls
were more frequent Daylight was
openly perplexed, and he was still pet
picked when he began to speak.
you've left me no argument
know I'm not the same man that came
from Alaska I couldn't hit the trail
with the dogs as 1 Gid in them days.
I'm soft in my muscles, and my minds
gone hard. l used to respect men. l
despise them now. You see, spent all
my life in the open, and l reckon I'm
an open-air man. Why, I've got the
prettiest little ranch you ever laid
eyes on up in Glen Ellen. That's
where l got stuck for the brick-yard.
You recollect handling the correspon-
dence. | only laid eyes on the ranch
that one time, and | so fell in love
with it that I bought it there and
then. | just rode around the hills,
and was happy as kid out of school.
I'd be better man living in the coun-
try. The city doesn't make me better.
You're plumb right there. l know it.
But suppose your prayer shoGt6 be
answered and I'd go clean broke and
have to work for days wages? SCR
pose l had nothing left bat thai litti9
ranch, and was satisfied to grow few
chickens and scratch a living some
h0w-would you marry me then,
Dede?"
why, we'd be together all tie
time!" she cried.
Thon was tho 17oDoont cmOno the
trees, ere they began the descent Of
the hill that Daylight might have
drawn her closely to him and kissed
with the new thoughts she had put
into his head to take advantage of thH
situation. He merely caught her BIZ
the arm and helped her over the
rougher footing. All the edge of tia
grove he suggested that it might be
better for them to part there, but she
insisted that he accompany her as far
as the house.
''Do you know" he said, taking it
by and large, it's the happiest day II
my life. Dede, Dede, we've just got 10
get married. It's tie only way, and
trust to luck for it's coming out AL
right"
But the tears were threatening to
rise in her eyes again, as she shook
her head and turned and went up the
steps.

rowing from the banks. The mag
nificent profits he made on the land
he sold were turned into more land,
into more development; and instead
Of paying off old loans, he contracted
new ones. AS he had pyramided in
Dawson City, he now pyramided in
Oakland; but he did it with the
knowledge that it was a stable enter
prise rather than a risky placer-n:in-
ing boom.
Work on DayliGht's dock system
went on apace; yet it was one Of
those enterprises that consumed
money dreadfully and that could not
be accomplished as quickly as a ferry
system Not content with manu-
featuring electricity for his street rail-
ways in the old-fashioned way, in pow
er-houses, Daylight organized the Sier-
ra and Salvador Power Company. This
immediately assumed large proper
tions. Crossing the San Joaquin Val
ley. on the way from the mountains,
and plunging through the Contra Co.'S
ia hills, there were many towns, and
even robust city, that could be sup
piled with rower, also with light; and
it became a MISUNDERSTANDING
project as we'll AS soon as the pur~
chase Of power sites in the Sierras
was rushed through, the survey par
ties were out and building operations
begun. And so it went. There were
a thousand maws into which he pour
Cd unceasing streams Of money.
In the spring of the year the Great
Panic came on. The first warning
was when the banks began calling in
their unprotected loans. Daylight
promptly paid the first of several of
his personal notes that were present

the United States. How terrific this
particular storm was to be he did not
anticipate. Nevertheless, he took
every precaution in his power
and had no anxiety about his weather.
ing it out
And in the end, when early summer
was on, everything began to mend.
Came day when Daylight did the un-
precedented. He left the office an
hour earlier than usual, and for the
reason that for the first time since tho

panic there was not an item of work
waiting to be done. He dropped into
Hegan's private office, before leaving,
for a chat, and as he stood up to go,
he said:-
''Hegan, we're all hunkadory. We're
pulling out of the financial pawnshop
in fine shape, and we'll get out with
out leaving one unredeemed pledge
behind. The worst is over, and the
end is in sight. Just tight rein for
couple more weeks, just bit of a
pinch or a furry or so now and then,
and we can let go and spit on our
hands"
For once he varied his programme.
Instead Of going directly to his hotel,
he started on a round Of the bars and
cafes, drinking a cocktail here and a
cocktail there, and two or three when
he encountered men he knew. 1t was
after an hour or so of this that he
dropped into the bar of the Parthenon
for one last drink before going to din
ner. By this time all his being was
pleasantly warmed by the alcohol, and
he was in the most genial and best of
spirits. At the corner Of the bar sew
eval young men were up to the old
trick of resting their elbows and at
tempting to force each others hands
down. One broad-shouldered young
giant never removed his elbow, but
put down every hand that came
against him. Daylight was interested.
