CHAPTER Vlli.-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 it. John Dowsett's
voice, just as he had heard it in the
telephone receiver, sounded in lis
ears the words, "On my honor as q
gentleman" They were sneak-thieves
and swindlers, that was what they
were, and they had given him the
dorble-cross. The newspapers were
right. He had come to New York to
be trimmed, and Messrs. Dowsett, ct
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 m ar
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
locked his grip and took out his auto
matte pistol-a big Colts "A. He re-
leased the safety catch with his thumb,
and, operating the sliding outer bar
rel, ran the contents of the clip
through the mechanism. The eight
cartridges slid out in a stream. He
refilled the clip, threw cartridge into
the chamber, and with the trigger at
full cock, thrust up the safety raLch-
ct. He showed the weapon into the
side pocket of his coat. ordered an
other Martini, and resumed his sea-.
At ten o'clock he arose and pored
over the city directory. Then he put
on his shoes. took cab. and departed

WASTED coats short bodices with in
Vulnerable sorts of peplum tails, and
the one-piece gown In all its ramiflca-
tons are other favored models. Few
long skirts appear for day wear, al
though If the reception is to be fol-

the young matron who helps her re-

a buckle or rosette. How funny tho

White Rlouses Revived.

touch of black at the neck Of white

will be followed out in America with

are quite plain and very sheer. The

Irish Picot on the frills over the hand
and down the front.

Chinese Sewing Bag.

AS today is a day of fancy stitch
cry. of knitting, of crochet and of en-
broidery among women who are busy
and women who are at leisure, work
bags are very important. Hundreds Of
them are being made for gifts, but
the newest idea is the bag of heavy
Chinese mandarin embroidery, the top
of which is run through a jade brace
let and the sides of which are trim
med with those funny little Chinese
ornaments in green wood and beads
that are put on the lanterns and can
be bought at the Oriental shops.

Nathaniel Lett0n 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
