So precipitate was he. that she had

that the answer had already been

For once he varied his programme.
Instead of going directly to his hotel,
he started on round OF the bars and
cafes, drinking a cocktail here and

he encountered men he knew. IL 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

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.

his hunger for her overmastered him.
It was a stormy day. A heavy south

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 Daylight's
terrific expenditure started to turn.
Not that 1t really did turn, for he
promptly went 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 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 bor-
rowing from the banks. The mag
nifcent profits he made on the land
he sold were turned into more land,
into more development: and instead
Of paying of old loans, he contracted
new ones. AS he had pyramided in
Dawson City, he now pyramided in
Oakland; but he did 1t with tine
knowledge that 1t was a stable enter
prise rather than risky placer-min-
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 ferry
system. Not ou-.snt with manu-
featuring electric Or ais street rail-

1t became a street-and-hoase-ligh
project as well As soon as the pur-
chase Of power sites In the Sierras
was rushed through, the survey par

begun. And so 1t went There were

Daylight nodded and went over to

Then was the moment, among the
trees, ere they began the descent Of
the hill, that Daylight might have
drawn her closely to him and kis I'd
her once. But he was too perplexed
with the new thoughts she had put
into his head to take advantage of the
situation. He merely caught her by
the arm and helped her over the
rougher footing. At the edge of the
grove he suggested that 1t 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 of
my life. Dede, Dede, we've just got to
get married. It's the only way, and
trust to luck for it's coming out all

But the tears were threatening to
rise in her eyes again, as she shook
her head and turned and went up the
steps.
