SURELY HARD MAN TO PLEASE
Artist Did His Best, but Somehow
Managing Editor Would Not
Be Satisfied.

An artist was drawing a cartoon
wherein the flag of our nation played
a large part. He drew the flag. first
time, with five stars in the blue field
and took 1t to the managing editor,
who promptly let out a yelp.
"Wadye think this country is" said
the managing editor, "a trust7"
Whats the trouble?" asked the
artist.
Trouble" beloved the managing
editor, why. We need more stars.

So the artist brought the picture
back and this time he had III stars in
It by actual count.
The managing editor felt his head
and choked slightly.
What do you think you're draw
ing?" he asked at last.
You're the hardest man to please
I ever met in my life." said the artist
Indignantly; first it's too few and
then it's too many. How many stars
do you want. anyway"

CHAPTER VIIl.-continued.

Then the grin died away. and his
face grew bleak and serious. Leav-
ing out his interests in the several
Western reclamation projects (Which
were still assessing heavily. he was a
ruined man. But harder hit than this
was his pride. He had been so easy.
They had gold-bricked him. and he
had nothing to show for 1t. The sim
plest farmer would have had docu-
ments. while he had nothing but a
gentleman's agreement. and a verbal
one at that. Gentleman's agreement!
He snorted over II. John Dowsett's
voice. just as he had heard 1t In the
telephone receiver. sounded in his
ears the words, "On my honor as a
gentleman" They were sneak-thieves
and swindlers, that was what they
were. and they had given him the
double-cross. The newspapers were
right. He had come to New York to
be trimmed, and Messrs. Dowsett, Let
ton and Guggenhammer had done it.
He was a little fish, and they had
played with him ten days-ample time
In which to swallow him, along with
his eleven millions. OF course. they
had been unloading on him all the
time. and now they were buying Ward
Valley back for song ere the mar
ket righted itself
And Daylight sat and consumed
cocktails and saw back in his life to
Alaska. and lived over the grim years
in which he had battled for his eleven
millions. For awhile murder ate
at his heart. and wild ideas and
sketchy plans of killing his betrayers
flashed through his wind. Daylight I'M

Returning to his hotel, he changed

and with one more cocktail for a night

morning he dressed and shaved. order
ed breakfast and the newspapers sent
up. and waited. But he did not

phone began to ring and the reports to

Guggenhammer. Dowsett was still in
his own offices. But at eleven came
the word that he also had arrived. and
several minutes later Daylight was

Nathaniel Letton did not look ap-
pealingly at his two friends, but in the
brief pause they felt that appeal pass
out from him. Dowsett, of sterner
mold than the others. began to divine
that the Klondiker was playing But
the other two were still under the
