OF residences were going up. The
profit on this land was enormous. In
day, his onslaught of wealth had
turned open farming country into one
of the best residential districts of the
city.
But this money that flowed in upon
him was Immediately poured back
into his other investments. The need
for electric cars was so great that he
installed his own shops for building
them. But no matter what pressure
was on Daylight his Sundays he re-
served for his riding in the hills. IT
was not the rainy winter weather,
however. that brought these rides
with Dede to an end. One Saturday

for years, and he took the bull by the

Republican newspaper and the chief
Democratic organ, and moved boldly
into his new offices. OF necessity, they
were on large scale, occupying four
floors of the only modern Office build
Ing in the town-the only building
that wouldn't be torn down later on,
as Daylight put 1t. There was de-
partment after department, score OF
them. and hundreds of clerks and
Stenographers. AS he told Dede:-

CHAPTER XVII.

For six weeks hand-running Day
light had seen nothing of Dede ex-
cept in the Office, and there he reso-
lutely refrained from making ap-
proaches But by the seventh Sunday
his hunger for her overmastered him.
1t was a stormy day. A heavy south
east gale was blowing, and squall aft
er squall Of rain and wind swept over
the city. He could not take his mind
OF of her. and persistent picture
came to him Of her sitting by win
dow and sewing feminine fripperies Of
some sort. When the time came for
his pre-luncheon cocktail to be served
to him in his rooms. he did not take
it. Filled with q daring determine
ton, he glanced at his notebook for
Dede's telephone number, and called
for the switch.
At first it was the landlady's daugh-
ter who was raised, but in minute
he heard the voice he had been hum
cry to hear.
Il Just wanted to tell you that I'm
coming out to see you" he said. 1
didn't want to break In on you with
out warning. that was all"
Has something happened?" came
her voice.
"I',. tell you when get there" he
evaded.
She came herself TO the door to
receive him and shake hands with
him. He hung his macintosh and
hat on the rack In the comfortable
hall and turned to her for direction.
They are busy In there" she said.
Indicating the parlor. from which
came the boisterous voices OF young
people. and through the open door Of
which he could see several college
youths. SO you will have to come

ing novel had been failure. Editors
and publishers would not look at 1t,
and Daylight was now using the dis
gruntled author in little private
secret service system he had been
compelled to establish for himself.
Jones, who affected to be surprised at
nothing after his crushing experience,
betrayed no surprise now when the
| task was given him to locate the pur-
chaser of certain sorrel mare.
How high shall 1 pay for herr" he
asked.
"Any price. You've got to get her.
that's the point. Drive sharp bar
gain so as not to excite suspicion, but
get her. Then you deliver her to that
address up In Sonoma County. The
mans the caretaker on a little ranch
have there. Tell him he's to take
whacking good care of her. And after
that forget all about it. Don't tell me
the name Of the man you buy her
from. Don't tell me anything about
it except that you've got her and de-
| liyered her. Savvee?"
But the week had not passed, when
Daylight noted the flash in Dedes
eyes that BODIED trouble.
Something's gone wrong-what is
1t ?" he said boldly.
NAB" she said. "The man who
bought her has sold her already. If
thought you had anything to do with
it"
Il don't even know who you sold
her to-" was Daylight's answer. "And
what's more, I'm not bothering my
head about her. She was your mare
and it's none of my business what you
did with her. You haven't got her.
that's sure, and worse luck And
now, while we're on tolchy subjects,
I'm going to open another one with
you. And you needn't get touchy
about it, for it's not really your bust
ness at all. It's -6out that brother of
yours. He leeds more than you can
do for him. Selling that mare of
yours won't send him to Germany.
And that's what his own doctors say
he needs-that crack German spe-
cialist who rips mans bones and

them all over again. Well, want to
send him to Germany and give that
crack flutter, that's ALL"
IF it We're only possible!" she said,
half breathlessly, and wholly without
anger. "Only it isn't, and you know
it isn't. can't accept money from
you"
Now look here, Miss Mason.
You've got to get some foolish no
tons out of your head. This money
notion is one of the funniest things I've
seen. Suppose you was falling over a
cliff, wouldn't it be all right for me to
reach out and catch you by the arm
Sure it would. You're standing in
your brothers way. No matter what
notions you've got in your head,
you've got to get out of the way and
give him a chance. Will you let me
go and see him and talk it over with
him? I'll make 1t hard and fast
business proposition. I'll stake him to
get we'll, and that's all, and charge
him interest"
She visibly hesitated.
And just remember one thing, Miss
Mason: it's his leg, not yours"
Still she refrained from giving her
answer, and Daylight went on
Strengthening his position.
And remember, l go over to see
him alone. He's a man. and 1 can
deal with him better without women
folks around. I'll go over tomorrow
