successful .inancier. He did not go
In for swindling the workers. Not
only did he not have the heart for it.,
but 1t did not strike him as a sporting
proposition. The workers were so
easy, SO stupid. 1t was more like
slaughtering fat. hand-reared pleas
ants on the English preserves he had
read about. The sport, to him, was
in waylaying the successful robbers
and taking their spoils from them
The grim Yukon life had failed to
make Daylight hard. 1t required CIV
ilization to produce this result. In
the fierce. savage game he now play
ed, his habitual geniality imper-
ceptibly slipped away from him. as did
his lazy Western drawl.
He still had "reminiscences of genial
ity, but they were largely periodical
and forced, and they were usually due
to the cocktails he took prior to meal
time. In the North he had drunk
deeply and at irregular intervals; but
now his drinking became systematic
and disciplined. 1t was an unconscious
development, but it was based upon
physical and mental conditions. The
cocktails served as an inhibition.
Without reasoning or thinking about
it, the strain of the Office. which was
essentially due to the daring and su-
dacity of his ventures, required check
or cessation; and he found. through
the weeks and months. that the cock
tails supplied this very thing. They
constituted stone wall. He never
drank during the morning, nor in Of
fee hours; but the instant he left the
Office he proceeded to rear this wall

of this point Of view. he was faithful
to his allies. But he was faithful Just
as long as they were and no longer.
The treason had to come from them,

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882. became afflicted with
boils. which lasted for about two
years, when the affliction assumed the
form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part Of my face being inflamed
most of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch 1t
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch 80 as to be almost I'M
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another. back and forth over the
whole Of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part Of my
face would be solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better. and in fact
got worse all the time, SO much SO
that my wife became alarmed lest it
prove fatal.
During all this time Of boils and
eczema. I doctored with the best ply.
sicians of this part of the country. but
to no avail. Finally decided to try
Cuticura Remedies. which did, TAX
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores.
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
ing. In very short time began to
notice Improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until was
we'll again, and have not had re-
currence Of the trouble since, which is
over twenty years. have recon-
mended Cuticura Remedies to others
ever since, and have great faith in
them as remedies for skin diseases"

FLAX GROWING
IS PROFITABLE
WESTERN CANADA FARMERS Be-
COMING RICH IN ITS
PRODUCTION.

So much has been written regarding
the great amount of money made out
of growing wheat in the prairie prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan ana
Alberta, Western Canada. that many
other products of the farms are over
looked. These provinces will always
grow large areas Of wheat-Dotn
spring and winter-and the yields Will
continue to be large, and the general
average greater than in any other
portion Of the continent. Twenty, thir-
ty. forty, and as high as fifty bushels
per acre of wheat to the acre-yields
unusual in other parts of the wheat

have attracted worldwide attention.

also done by wheat raised In Sas-

The growing of fax is extensively car
ried on in Western Canada. The
writer has before him circular Is
sued by prominent farmer at Saska-
toon. The circular deals with the
treatment of seed fax, the seeding
and harvesting. and attributes yields
of less than 20 bushels per acre, to
later seeding. imperfect and illy-pre-
pared seed. He sowed twenty-five
pounds Of seed per acre and had
yield of Twenty-Five bushels per acre.
This will probably dispose OF at $3.50
per acre. Speaking Of proper prepa-
ration of seed and cultivation Of soil
and opportune sowing, in the circular
spoken of there is cited the case of a
Mr.. White. living fourteen miles
south of Rosetown, "who had fifteen
acres Of summer fallow a year ago
last summer, upon which he produced
thirty-three bushels to the acre. when
many In the district harvested for
want of crop. Now. there can be no
proper reason advanced why such a
crop should not have been produced
on all the lands OF the same quality
in the adjacent district. provided they
had been worked and cared for in the
same manner. This year (191D the
same man had one hundred acres Of
summer fallow, had something over
$500 bushels of wheat. He also had
1900 bushels of oats and 300 bushels

special mention, and they are treated
of in the literature sent out on applt-
cation by the Government agents.

Celtic Arithmetic.

Into the general store of a town up
in New York state there recently came
a big. good natured Irish woman, who
wanted to be weighed. She stepped
off the scales almost as soon as she
had stepped on.
"Shure, these scales is no good!"
was her disguised comment "They
only weigh up to wan hundred, an l
weigh something loike wan hundred
and noinety pounds"
"'Tis easily discouraged ye are, Mrs
Casey" said friend. "Just step onto
them twict, me dear. and let Mickey
here do the sum for ye."

all, though he was aware that as a
stenographer she was quick and accu-
rate. He watched her leaving one aft
ernoon, and was aware for the first
time that she was well-formed, and
that her manner of dress was salts
flying. He knew none Of the details of
womans dress. and he saw none of
the details of her neat shirt waist
and well-cut tailor suit. He saw only
the effect in general, sketchy way.
She looked right. THIS was In the alb
sence of anything wrong or out of the
way.
"She's trim little good-looker," was
his verdict, when the outer Office 1oor
closed on her.
The next morning, debating. he con-
cluded that he liked the way she did
her hair. though for the life of him
he could have given no description of
it, The impression was pleasing, that
was all. She sat between him and
the window. and he noted that her
hair was light brown, with hints of
golden bronze. A pale sun, shining in,
touched the golden bronze into smoul-
dering fires that were very pleasing.

CHAPTER X.

Back in San francisco, Daylight
quickly added to his reputation. In
ways it was not an enviable reputa-
ton. Men were afraid of him. He be-
came known as n fighter, a fiend, a
tiger. His play was ripping and
smashing one, and no one knew where
or how his next blow would fall. The
element of surprise was large. He
baked on the unexpected. and. fresh
from the wild North. his mind not OPP

of alcoholic inhibition athwart his
consciousness. The Office became i'm
mediately a closed affair. 1t ceased
to exist. In the afternoon, after lunch.
1T lived again for one or two hours,
when, leaving it, he rebuilt the wall of
inhibition. OF course, there were ex-
ceptions to this; and, such was the rig
or Of his discipline, that if he had a
dinner or q conference before him in
which, in business way. he encoun-
tered enemies or allies and planned or
prosecuted campaigns. he abstained
from drinking. But the instant the
business was settled, his everlasting
call went out for Martini. and for a
double-Martini at that. in long glass
SO as not to excite comment.
Into Daylight's life came Dede Ma
son. She came rather imperceptibly.
He had accepted her impersonally
along with the office furnishing. the
Office boy, Morrison. the chief, conf
dental, and only clerk, and all the
rest Of the accessories of a super
mans gambling place OF business. Had
he been asked any time during the first
months she was in his employ. he
would have been unable to tell the
color of her eyes. From the fact that
she was a demi-blonde, there resid-
ed dimly In his subconsciousness /. q
conception that she was a brunette.
Likewise he had an idea that she .,as
not thin, while there was an absence
in his mind of any idea that she was
fat. And how she dressed. he had no
idea at all. He had no trained eye in
such matters, nor was he interested.
He took it for granted. in the lack Of
any impression to the contrary. that
she was dressed somehow. He knew

paused at the door to make his final
remarks.

AS the door shut behind him, Ma

phone, and Dowsett intercepted him.

"The police. It's downright robbery.

Dowsett smiled grimly, but at the
same time bore the slender financier
back and down into his chair.
We'll talk 1t over" he said: and
in Leon Guggenhammer he found an
anxious ally.
And nothing ever came of 1t. The
thing remained a secret with the
three men. Nor did Daylight ever
give the secret away, though that aft
ernoon, leaning back in his stateroom
on the Twentieth Century, his shoes
of. and feet on a chair. he chuckled
long and heartily. New York remained
forever puzzled over the affair; nor
could it hit upon a rational explana-
ton. BY all rights. Burning Daylight
should have gone broke, yet it was
known that he Immediately reappeared
in San Francisco possessing an appar-
emily unimpaired capital. This was
evidenced by the magnitude of the en-
terprises he engaged in, such as, for
instance. Panama Mail, by sheer
