Daylight cast about for TRAIL and

base Of the knoll, he picked up with
his horse and rode on to the farm.

chimney. and he was quickly in con-
versation with a nervous, slender
young man, who. he learned, was only
tenant on the ranch. How large
was It? A matter of one hundred and
eighty acres. though it seemed much
larger. This was because 1t was so
irregularly shaped. Yes. 1t included
the clay-pit and all the knolls. and its

They didn't have to pay much rent
Hillard. the owner, depended on the
income from the clay-pit. Hillard was
well of and had big ranches and vine
yards down on the fat Of the valley.
The brickyard paid ten cents a cubic
yard for the clay. AS for the rest Of the
ranch, the land was good In patches.

table garden and the vineyard. but the
rest of 1t was too much up-and-down.

said.

AS Daylight listened. there came to
him cudden envy OF this young fel,
low living right in the midst Of all
this which Daylight had Travelled
through the last few hours.
"Wha. in thunder are you going
back to the telegraph office for?" he
demanded.

BRAvINe MOUTH OF A CANNON
Veteran of Oak Park, ILL.,, Tells Of
Terrible Fighting Experience at
Spottsylvanla.

A portion OF the battle of Spottsyl-

from May to May 1S. 1864, staying
for time the inevitable advance OF

things at Appomattox, is remembered

portions of the war that have come
under his notice
1T was about two o'clock in the
afternoon of May 49," said Mr.. Ellis,
when our battery was ordered to
take its place on the line. We were
near turnpike road and advanced
along this, but were soon halted for
a wait of some minutes and sent into
parking at the side of the road. We
had been there probably not more
than two minutes when a shell burst
near by. The captain then gave or
ders to dismount, but just as the or
der came another shell burst directly
over US. The fuse had been cut q
little longer. A large fragment OF the
shell descended on us and tore the
saddle from the swing or middle team

horses. Then we to get out OF the
parking.
The pike was filled with wounded
men going to the rear like the crowd
in Chicago street, and there were
strings of ambulances continually
passing. We drove against the cur
rent to the place where our batteries
of long range guns had been set up
| and waited there for a while. In or
der to be of service we must be near
er the enemy and in short time we
advanced beyond our battery line. We
descended into ravine and climbed
the other side, unlimbering our four
guns under the brow of the hill. Be
fore us at the right there was open
ground to a point half a mile distant
where the timber began. At the left
the woods came almost to the ravine
and here the Second Michigan infan
try was stationed.
Near the trees half mile distant
little at our right were four Con
federate regiments. This point was
supposed to be one OF the weak places
in the Union line, and these regiments
had been sent to make a breach. W.

CHAPTER XII.

Daylight was in the thick OF his
spectacular and intensely bitter fight
with the Coastwise Steam Navigation
Company, and the Hawaiian, Mica
raguan, and Pacific-Mexican Steam
ship Company. He stirred up big
ger muss than he had anticipated.
and even he was astounded at the
wide ramifications of the struggle and
at the unexpected and incongruous In
terests that were drawn into it. Every
newspaper In San Francisco turned
upon him. It was true, one or two OF
them had first intimated that they
were open to subsidization, but Day
lights judgment was that the situa-
tion did not warrant such expenditure.
Up to this time the press had been
amusingly tolerant and good-naturedly
sensational about him, but now he was
to learn what virulent scurrilousness
an antagonized press was capable OF.
Every episode of his life was resur-
rected to serve as foundations for ma.
licious fabrications. Daylight was
frankly amazed at the new interpre
tation put upon all that he had &C
complished and the deeds he had
done. From an Alaskan hero he was
metamorphosed into an Alaskan
bully. liar, desperate, and all-around
"bad man." The whole affair sank tc
the deeper deeps of rancor and savage
ness. The poor woman who had killed
herself was dragged out of her grave
and paraded on thousands of reams
of paper as a martyr and victim tt

Here he found no passage out for

forced his way up the hillside. On

Watermelon Facts.
The watermelon with its
abundant juice is the natural hot
weather accompaniment.
There is no food or drink that
has the same refreshing effect on
the Sun-baked human.
Unripe, like the muskmelon, it
is apt to produce unpleasant,
colicky symptoms. But thor
oughly ripe, it furnishes safety to
the system with the carrying
away of any feverish tendency.
Among many foreign peoples,
and some Americans, the fresh
simple juice is considered excel
