Here is a tidbit from the text un-

point to the final act in the great
drama Of death played by the McNa-

dozen regiments had been disbanded
and broken, and that the members
with their families had been driven
from their own city and on into the

merccnaries were in reality the most
faithful of all to their salt" How
much that sounds like the philosophy
by which the McNamaras sought to

the actions of the McNanaras indi-

a paragraph which seems to express
succinctly the elements which finally
led to the overthrow OF the McNa-

the preparations for the great upris-
ing. the author says: such was our
plan. every detail of which had to be
worked out in secret. and. as the day
drew near, communicated to more

danger point, the stretching Of the

led to the exposure of the McNa-

CHAPTER W,-continued.

Back In Dawson though he remained
true to his word and never touched
hand to pick and shovel, he worked as
hard as ever in his life. He had
thousand irons in the fire. and they
kept him busy. Heavy as were his
expenses. he won more heavily. He
took lays, bought half shares. shared
with the men he grub-staked. and made
personal locations. Day and night his
dogs were ready, and he owned the
fastest teams; so that when a STAN
pede to a new discovery was on, 1t was
Burning Daylight to the fore through
the longest. coolest nights till he
blazed his stakes next to Discovery
In one way or another Ito say nothing
of the many worthless creeks) he
came into possession OF properties on
the good creeks, such as Sulphur. Do
minion. Excelsis, Siwash, Cristo. Al
hambra, and Doolittle. The thousands
he poured out flowed back in tens OF
thousands.
Dawson grew rapidly that winter of
1896. Money poured in on Daylight
from the sale of town lots. He prompt
ly invested it where 1t would gather
more In fact. he played the danger
Gus game of pyramiding, and no more
perilous pyramiding than in placer
camp could be imagined. But he
played with his eyes wide open.
Corner lots In desirable locations
sold that winter for from ten to thirty
thousand dollars. Daylight sent word
out over the trails and passes for the
newcomers to bring down log-rafts.
and. as result, the summer OF 1897
saw his saw mills working day and
night, on three shifts. and still he had
logs left over with which to build
cabins. These cabins, land included.
sold at from one to several thousand
dollars. Two-story log buildings. in
the business part OF town. brought him
from forty to fifty thousand dollars
apiece These fresh accretions of cap
ital were Immediately invested in 9th
er ventures. He turned gold over and
over. until everything that he touched
seemed to turn to gold.
With the summer rush from the Out
side came special correspondents Tor

and one and all, using unlimited space.
they wrote Daylight up; so that. so far
as the world was concerned, Daylight
loomed the largest figure in Alaska. OF
course. after several months, the
world became interested in the Span
ish War. and forgot all about him; but
in the Klondike itself Daylight still re-
mained the most prominent figure.

now when he looked back on it and
felt again the touch of her lips on his
hand She was saying good-by, an
eternal good-by, and he had never
guessed. At that very moment, and
for all the moments of the evening,
coolly and deliberately. as he well
knew her way. she had been resolved
to die. If he had only known it, I'm.
touched by the contagious malady
himself, nevertheless he would have
married her if he had had the slight
est inkling of what she contemplated.
And yet he knew, furthermore. that
hers was certain stiff-kneed pride
that would not have permitted her to
accept marriage as an act of philan-
thropy. There had really been no saw
ing her, after all. The love-disease
had fastened upon her, and she had
been doomed from the first to perish
of It.
Si;i thousand spent the winter OF
1897 in Dawson, work on the creeks
went on apace. while beyond the pass
es It was reported that one hundred
thousand more were waiting for the
spring. Late one brief afternoon, Day
light, on the benches between French
Hill and Shookum Hill. caught wild
er vision of things. Beneath him lay
the richest part of Eldorado Creek.
while up and down Bonanza he could
see for miles. It was a scene OF n
vast devastation. The hills. to their
tops. had been shorn OF trees, and
their naked sides showed signs OF gor-
ing and perforating that even the
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1912-02-02

mantle OF snow could not hide. Be-
meath him, in every direction, were
the cabins or men. But not many
men were visible. A blanket of smoke
filled the valleys and turned the gray
day to melancholy twilight. Smoke
arose from thousand holes in the
snow, where. deep down on bedrock.
In the frozen muck and gravel. men
crept and scratched and dug. and ever
built more fires to break the grip of
the frost.
Organization was what was needed,
he decided; and his quick Imagination

to source, and from mountain top to

ing, as yet untried, but bound to come.
he saw would be makeshift. What
should be done was to hydraulic the
valley sides and benches, and then, on
the creek bottom, to use gold-dredges.
There was the very chance for another
big killing. He had wondered Just
what was precisely the reason for the
Guggenhammers and the big English
concerns sending in their high-salaried
experts. That was their scheme. That
was why they had approached him for
the sale of worked-out claims and tall
ings. They were content to let the
small mine-owners gopher out what
they could. for there would be mil
lions In the leavings.
And. gazing down on the smoky IN
ferno of crude effort. Daylight outlined
the new game he would play. game
in which the Guggenhammers and the
rest would have to reckon with him.
But along with the delight in the new
conception came weariness. He was
tired of the long Arctic years. and he
was curious about the Outside-the
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1912-02-02

great world OF which he had heard
other men talk and OF which he was
as ignorant as a child. There were
games out there to play. 1t was a
larger table. and there was no reason
why he with his millions should not
sit in and take hand. So 1t was.
that afternoon on Skookum Hill, that
he resolved to play this last best Klon-
dixie hand and pull for the Outside. 1t
took time. however. He put. trusted
agents to work on the heels OF great
experts. and on the creeks where they
began to buy he likewise bought.
Wherever they tried to corner a
worked-out creek, they found him
standing in the way, owning blocks OF
claims or artfully scattered claims
that put all their plans to naught.
Followed wars, truces, compromises.
victories, and defeats. BY 1898. sixty
thousand men were on the Klondike.
and all their fortunes and affairs
rocked back and forth and were af-
fected by the battles Daylight fought.
And more and more the taste for the
larger game urged in Daylight's mouth.
Here he was already locked in grap-
pies with the great Guggenhammers,
and winning. fiercely winning. Pos
sibly the severest struggle was waged
on Ophir, the veriest OF moose-pas-
lures. whose low-grade dirt was valu-
able only because of its vastness. The
ownership of block OF seven claims

grip, and they could not come to terms

II was held by the thousands of
hero worshipping chechaquos that Day
light was man absolutely without
fear. But BEETLES and Dan Macdonald
and other sourdoughs shook their
heads and laughed as they mentioned
women And they were right. He had
always been afraid of them from the
time. himself a lad of seventeen. when
Queen Anne. of Juneau, made open
and ridiculous love to him. For that
matter. he never had known women.

were rare and mysterious. having no
sisters. his mother dying while he was
an infant. he had never been in con

But it was left 10 the Virgin to give
him his final fright She was found
one morning dead in her cabin. A
shot through the head had done 1t,
and she had left no message, no ex-
PLANTATION. Then came the talk. Some
wit, voicing public opinion, called it a
case of too much Daylight. She had
killed herself because of him. Every
body knew this, and said so. The cor
respondents wrote 1t up. and once
more Burning Daylight, King of the
Klondike, was sensationally featured
In the Sunday supplements of the
United States. The Virgin had

BURN BUILDING TO KILL GERM

Object Leseson.

A >ramshackle building in Winston
Salem was recently burned at the re-
quest of the local Anti-Tuberculosis
league. because it was said to be alive
with tuberculosis germs and could not
be PROPERLY fumigataed.
For days before the building was
burned huge placards announcing the
hour Of destruction were hung about
in prominent places. Among other
things the placards said: within the
past 15 months two men, who sold
fruit. ETC.. here have died Of tuber-
culosis. but unconsciously left millions
Of tuberculosis germs by careless
splitting. The building is SO open that
1t cannot be effectively fumigated.
The only practical means of dsin-
fecting is by fire."
AT the appointed hour, while null
lions of tuberculosis germs were be-
ing burned. 5000 pamphlets telling
how to prevent consumption, were dis
tributed to the crowd looking on.

he remember that last night he had
seen her. He had thought nothing of
1t at the time; but, looking back. he
was haunted by every little thing that
had happened. In the light of the
tragic event, he could understand
everything-her quietness. that calm
certitude as II all vexing questions OF
living had been smoothed out and
were gone. and that certain ethereal
sweetness about all that she had said
and done that had been almost mater
nal. He remembered the way she had
looked at him, how she had laughed
when he narrated Mickey Dolans mis-
take in stalking the fraction on Shook
um Gulch. Her laughter had been
lightly joyous, while at the same time
1t had lacked its old-time robustness.
Not that she had been grave or sub
dued. On the contrary. she had been
SO patiently content, so filled with
peace. She had fooled him, fool that
he was. He had even thought that
night that her feeling for him had
passed. and he had taken delight in
the thought, and caught visions of the
satisfying future friendship that would
be theirs with this perturbing love
out of the way.
And then, when he stood at the
door, cap in hand, and said good night

bending over his hand and kissing It,

Narrow Escape For Man Wht
Placed Signal to Prevent
Accident.

Mr.. j. A. Jordan, of Marietta, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. D. H. Jordan, was
seriously injured in the wreck near
Gainesville, Ca, last Friday afternoon.
He is now in the Elkin- Goldsmith sani-
tarium in Atlanta. His shoulder was
dislocated and he was badly cut and
bruised.
Mr.. Jordan was a member of the
crew of work train and had placed
signal flag on the track to prevent a
rear end collision. The engineer of an
L. & N. freight train ran by the signal
and crashed into the rear of the work
train. The big locomotive ploughed its
way through five cars and fifteen peo-
pie were killed. The only thing that
saved Mr.. Jordan was that he had gone
to the engine to get match to light a
cigarette and was not on the rear of
the train when the crash came.
