CHAPTER XIII.

One Sunday late in the afternoon,
found Daylight across the bay in the
Piedmont hills of Oakland. AS usual,
he was in q big motor car, though not
his own, the guest Of saltwater Bill,
Lucks own darling. who had come
down to spend the cleanup of the sew

and they had made a merry day of it.,
cfrcling the bay from San Francisco
around by San Jose and up to Oak
land, having been thrice arrested for
speeding, the third time. however, on
the Haywards stretch, running away
with their captor. Fearing that a tele-
pho2e message to arrest them had

been flashed ahead, they had turned
into the back-road through the hills,
and now, rushing in upon Oakland by
a new route, were boisterously dis
cussing what disposition they should
make of the constable.
Well come out at Blair Park in
ten minutes" one Of the men an
nounced. Look here, saltwater,
there's a cross-road right ahead, with
lots of getes, but It'll take us back
country into Berkeley. Then we can
come back into Oakland from the 9TH
or side, sneak across on the ferry,
and send the machine back around
tonight with the chauffeur"
But saltwater Bill failed to see
why he should not go into Oakland
by way of Blair Park, and so decided
The next moment, flying around q
bend, the back-road they were not
going to take appeared. Inside the
gate. leaning out from her saddle and
just closing it, was a young woman on
chestnut sorrel. With his first
glimpse, Daylight felt there was some
thing strangely familiar about her.
The next moment, Strengthening up in
the saddle with movement he could
not fail to identify, she put the horse
into a gallop, riding away with her
back toward them. 1t was Dede Ma
son-he remembered what Morrison
had told him about her keeping a rid
ing horse, and he was glad she had
not seen him in this riotous company.
Intervening trees at that moment
shut her from view, and saltwater
Bill plunged into the problem of dis
posing of their constable, while Day.
light, leaning back with closed eyes,
was still seeing Dede Mason gallop off
down the country road.
On Monday morning, coming in for
dictation, he looked at her with new
interest, though he gave no sign of
it; and the stereotyped business
passed off in the stereotyped way. But
the following Sunday found him on a
horse himself, across the bay and rid
ing through the Piedmont hills. He
made long day of it, but no glimpse
did he catch of Dede Mason, though
he even took the back-road of many
gates and rode on into Berkeley. It
had been a fruitless day, so far as she
was concerned; and yet not entirely
fruitless, for he had enjoyed the open
air and the horse under him to such
purpose that, on Monday, his instruc-
tions were out to the dealers to look
for the best chestnut sorrel that
money could buy. At odd times during
the week he examined numbers of
chestnut sorrels, tried several and was
unsatisfied. 1t was not till Saturday
that he came upon Bob Daylight
knew. him for what he wanted the mo-
ment he laid eyes on him. A large

ner substitute as an assistant. Also,
he had chanGRd his Office suite, so that
now the two girls had room by them
selves. The more he saw of her, and
the more he thought he knew of her,
the more unapproachable did she
seem to him. But since he had no in
tention of approaching her, this was
anything but an unsatisfactory fact.
He was glad he had her in his office,
and hoped she'd stay, and that was
about all.
Daylight did not improve with the
passing years. The life was not good
for him. He was growing stout and
soft, and there was unwonted fiabbi-
ness in his muscles. The more he
drank cocktails, the more he was COM
PEELED to drink in order to get the de-
sired result, the inhibitions that eased
him down from the concert pitch of
his operations. And with this went
wine, too, at meals, and the long
drinks after dinner of Scotch and soda
at the Riverside. Then, too, his body
suffered from lack of exercise; and,
from lack of decent human assocla-
tons, his moral fibers were weaken
ing Never a man to hide anything,
some Of his escapades became public,
such as speeding, and of joy-rides in
lis big red motor car down to San
jose with companions distinctly sporty
incidents that were narrated as
good fun and comically in the news
papers.

CHAPTER XII.

Instead of returning to the city on
Monday, Daylight rented the butchers
horse for another day and crossed the
led Of the valley to its eastern hills.
rs on the previous day, just for the
Joy of it. he followed cattle-trails at
Iaphazard and worked his way up to-
ward the SUBMITS. Coming out upon
q wagon road that led upward, he fol
lowed it for several miles, emerging
in a small, mountain-encircled valley,
where half a dozen poor ranchers
farmed the wine-grapes on the steep
slopes. Beyond, the road pitched up
ward Dense chaparral covered the
exposed hillsides, but in the creases
of the canyons huge spruce trees
grew, and wild oats and flowers.
Late IN the afternoon he broke
through, and followed a well-definel
trail down a dry canyon. The dry
canyon gave place to one with q slen-
der ribbon of running water The
trail ran into a WoOd-road and the
wood-road emerged across a small fiat
upon slightly travelled country road.
There we're no farms in this immedi-
ate section, and no houses The soil
was meaSer, the bedrock either close
to the surface or constituting the SIR
face itself. Manzanita and scruh-oak,
however, fourished and walled the
road on either side with ju2g.a
growth. And out a runway through
this growth 3 man suddenly scuttled
IN way that reminded Daylight Of
rabbit.
He was a little man. in patched
Cveralls: bareheaded, with q cotton
shirt open at the throat and down the
chest. The sun was ruddy-brown in
his face. and by it his sandy hair was
bleached on the ends to peroxide
blonde. He signed to Daylight to
halt, and held up letter
"If you're going to town, I'd be
obliged if you mail this" he said
Il sure will" Daylight put it into
his coat pocket. DO you live here
abouts, stranger"
But the little man did not answer.
He was gazing at Daylight in a sur
prised and steadfast fashion.
II know you" the little man an
n0unced. You're Elan Harnish-
Burning Daylight, the papers call you.
Am right?"
Daylight nodded.
We'll, I'm glad wrote that letter
this afternoon" the little man went
en-, cor else I'd have missed seeing
you. I've seen your photo in the pa
pers many a time, and I've a good
memory for faces. ! recognized you
at once. My names Ferguson
DO you live hereabouts?" Daylight
repeated mis- query.
'Oh, yes. I've got a little shack
back here in the bush a hundred yards
and pretty spring. and a few fruit
trees and berry bushes. Come in and
take a look. And that spring is q
dandy. You never tasted water like
1t. Come in and try it.
Walking and leading his horse, Day
light followed the quick-stepping,
eager little man through the green
tunnel and emerged abruptly upon the
clearing, If clearing it might be called,
where wild nature and mans earth
scratching were inextricably blended.
1t was tiny nook in the hills, pro-
tected by the steep walls of a canyon
mouth. Here were several large oaks,
evidencing richer soil. The erosion
of ages from the hillside had slowly
formed this deposit of fat earth. I'm

A freak potato was dug up lately IN
a Belfast garden. The potato. in the
course of it's growth had forced its
way right through the center of a
beef shank bone. 1t had grown to an
enormous size too, and was firmly at
cached to the bone, bullying out both
above and below it.

stood rough, implanted cabin, the
wide yeranda of which, with chairs
and hammocks, advertised an out-of-
doors bedchamber. Daylight's keen
eyes took in everything. The clearing
was irregular, following the patches
OF the best soil, and every fruit tree
and berry bush. and even each vege-
table plant, had the water personally
conducted to it. The tiny irrigation
channels were everywhere, and along
some Of them the water was running.
Ferguson looked eagerly into his
visitors face for signs OF appreciation.

NELLIE bly,
HAS TO RUN
Former Globe Trotter Escapes
All But Two of Seven Pro-
cess Servers

New York, May with the aid of
Chief Magistrate Kempner of Brook
lyn and most of the officials of the
Adams Street Police Court, Mrs Eliz-
abeth Cochran Seaman, the former
Nellie Bly," succeeded yesterday af-
ternoon in lodging the unwelcome at
tent1on Of seven process servers who
endeavored to reach her as she was
leaving court after testifying against
two former employees of the Iron
clad Manufacturing Company, of
which she is president.
Things began to happen as soon as
Mrs. Seaman entered the stenograph-
er's room after giving her testimony.
One of the process-servers had gone
into the building next door and climb
ed to the roof and along the window
sill until. he was opposite the window
of the stenographer's room. When Mrs.
Seaman entered in company with her
lawyers he threw the papers at her
feet. Her lawyers admitted that the
service was good and pocketed the pa
pers.
Meanwhile Wallace T. McCreary of
Pine Street, Manhattan, had reached
the next room and loudly demanded
to be admitted to Mrs. Seaman. Court
Clerk Henry Hesterberg. Jr., barred
him saying that he was acting under
the Magistrates order.
A consultation was held and then
Mrs. Seaman was rushed through the
prisoners pen. A green taxicab was
called and the chauffeur told to use
an alleyway usually reserved for the
passage Of the Black Maria. Mrs. Sea-
man was preparing to run out of the
prisoners exit when her helpers saw
McCreary outside waving his papers.
1t was decided to make a rush.
Detective Wilbur and Court Attend
ant Frank Langan went outside and
endeavored to block the way. Mrs.
Seaman reached the cab, McCreary
tried again, but only knocked off Lam
gan's hat. The papers we'll and Nc
Creary declared them served. At the
same time Langan knocked him over
together with newspaperman stand
ing behind. During the excitement the
taxicab was rushed up and Mrs. Sea-
man got away.
1t developed later that five other
men were stationed at other likely
places where it had been thought they
might have reached Mrs. Seaman in
her way out. 1t could not be learn
ed whom they represented.
The trial at which Mrs. Seaman was
a witness was that Of Charles w.
Casa, a former cashier, and Stanley
Glelink, a former bookkeeper, charged
with forging Mrs. Seamans name to
check for $3.50 and collecting the
money.

FROM HEAVY LINEN SKIRT |
Many and Lasting DoilIes Made by
One Clever and Resourceful
Woman.

The housekeeper whose supply of
doilies is getting low should look over
her summer wardrobe and see if there
are any heavy linen skirts not worth
making over, but whose material will
last for years.
These can be cut into doilies of
various sizes. One woman from the
best parts Of nine-gored skirt cut
an oval centerpiece, twelve plate
doilies and twelve tumbler doilies to
match, with four smaller ovals for
under dishes. The plate doilies were
nine inches in diameter finished and
the tumbler doilies five inches.
There was no extra cost for stamp
ing, as the edges were finished with
a grouped scallop, the central one be-
ing twice the size of that on each
side. This applied to the dolly brought
two of the smaller scallops side by
side, with large one between every
two.
The scallops were padded with
chain-stitch and worked in No. 80 mer-
cerized white cotton, In a close but
toahole stitch.
In the center of each scallop was
worked an eyelet, that in the big seal
lop being larger than the others. A
second row of the smaller size was
added, placed opposite the point where
the two small scallops join. This gives
a pyramidal effect alternating with
the larger eyelets. At one side of
each dolly was embroidered initials in
small block letters.
This design is easy to copy If one
experiments with the correct sized
.scallop for each dolly.
