OF the district has been waiting many
years for realization Of his hopes
and the recent conner has viewed viii
longing the prospects. And all now
realize that their expectations are
realized.
Very few realize what the resources
OF this fertile valley are. Commenc-
ing at It's very source In the lofty

And you won something there that
was more. than mere money" Dede
encouraged. Nov do you know what
I would do If I had lots of money
and simply had to go on playing at
business? Take all the southerly and
westerly slope Of these bare hills. I'd
buy them in and plant eucalyptus on
them. I'd do 1t for the JOY Of doing it
anyway; but suppose l had that gam
bling twist in me which you talk
about. why. I'd do it just the same
and make money out of the trees. And
there's my other point again. Instead
Of raising the price Of coal without
adding an ounce of coal to the market
supply. I'd be making thousands and
thousands Of cords of frewood-mak-
ing something where nothing was be-
fore. And everybody who ever
crossed on the ferries would look UP
at these forested hills and be made
glad. Who was made glad by your
adding four dollars a ton to Rock
Wells?
It was Daylight's turn to be silent
for a time while she waited an an

Would you rather I did things like
that?" he asked at last.

buys two tons OF -four. which he declares
will be worth its weight in gold. but
the big fiat d~esolate. A comrade discov-
ers gold and Daylight reaps q rich har-
vest. He goes to Dawson, becomes the
most prominent figure in the Klondike
and defeats a combination of capitalists
in a vast mining deal. He returns to
complications Of high finance. Daylight
finds that he has been led to invest his
eleven millions in a manipulated scheme.
He goes to New York. and confronting

returned. They are cowed. return their
~stealings and IIarnish goes pack to San

Dede Mason, q pretty stenographer. He
makes large investments and gets into the
country. Daylight gets deeper into high
finance In San Francisco. but often the
longing for the simple life nearly over
comes him. Dede Mason buys a horse and
Daylight meets her in her saddle trips.
One day he asks Dede to go with him
on one more ride. his purpose being to

All week every one in the Office
knew that something new and big was
afoot in Day1ight's mind. On Sunday
Dede learned all about it.
I've been thinking a lot of our
talk" he began. "and I've got an idea
I'd like to give 1t a 1utter. And I've
got a proposition to make your hair
stand up. It's what you call legiti.
mate, and at the same time it's the
go~sh-dangdest gamble a man ever
went into. How about planting min
utes wholesale, and making two min
utes grow where n minute grew be.
fore? Oh, yes, and planting a few
trees. too-say several million OF
them. You remember the quarry |
made believe 1 was looking at?, Well,
I'm going to buy it. I'm going to buy
these hills, too. clear from here
around to Berkeley and down the
other way to San eLeandro. l own a
lot OF them already, for that matter.
But mum Is the word. I'll be buying
a long time to come before anything
much is guessed about 1t, and / don't
want the market to Jump up out OF
sight. You see that hill over there.
It's my hill running clear down its
slopes through Piedmont and halfway
along those rolling hills into Oakland.
And it's nothing to all the things I'm
going to buy"
He paused triumphantly.
THE ferry system between Oakland
and San Francisco is the worst one
horse concern In the United States.
You cross on 1t every day. six days
in the week. That's say, twenty-five
days a month. OF three hundred a
year. How long does 1t take you one
way? Forty minutes. II you're lucky.
I'm going to put you across in TWEEN
-ty minutes. II that amt making two
