CHAPTER xi.

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 homogeneous in
terests that were drawn into 1t. Every
newspaper in San Francisco turned
upon him. It was true, one or two of
them had first animated that they
were open to subsidization, but Day
lights judgment was that the situa-
ton 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
Iicious fabricatiOns. Daylight was
frankly amazed at the new interpre-
tatiOn put upon all that he had ac-
cOmplished and the deeds he had
done. From an Alaskan hero he was
metamorphosed into an Alaskan
bully, liar, desperate, and allaround
bad man" The whole affair sank to
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 martyr and a victim to
DayIight's ferocious brutality.
He was like big bear raiding a
beehive, and, regardless of the stings.
he obstinately persisted in paving for
the honey He gritted his teeth and
struck back. Beginning with raid on

threaded it's way among the knobs.
Here he found no passage out for
his horse, and leading the animal, he
forced his way up the hillside. ON
the crest he came through an amazing
thicket of velvet-trunked young ma
dronos, and emerged on an open hill"
side that led down into a tiny valley.
The sunshine was at first dazzling in
its brightness, and he paused and
rested for he was painting from the
exertion Not of old had he known
shortness of breath such as this, and
muscles that so easily tired at stiff
climb. A tiny stream rar down the
tiny valley through tiny meadow
that was carpeted knee-high with
grass and blue and white nemophila.
Crossing The stream, Daylight fol-
lowed faint cattle trail over low,
rocky hill and through wine-wooded
forest of manzanita, and emerged
upon another tiny valley, down which
filtered another springfield, meadow
bordered streamlet.
1T sure beats country places and
bungalows at Menlo Park" he COM
muned aloud; land ii ever | get the
hankering for country life, it's me for
this every time"
An old wood-road led him to clear
ing, where a dozen acres of grapes
grew on wine-red soil. A cow-path, more
trees and thickets. and he dropped
down a hillside to the southeast ex-
posture. Here, poised above big for
ested canyon, and looking out upon
Sonoma Valley, was small farm
house. With it's barn and outhouses

side, which protected it from the west

this hillside, he judged, that had
formed the little level stretch of vege-
table garden The soil was fat and
black, and there was water in plenty,
for he saw several faucets running
wide open Forgotten was the brick
yard. Nobody was at home, but Day
light dismounted and ranged the vege-
table garden, eating strawberries and
green peas, inspecting the old adobe
barn and rusty pillow and harrow, and
rolling and smoking cigarettes while
he watched the antics of several
broods of young chicks and the moth
err hens.
Nothing could satisfy his holiday spir-
it now but the ascent of Sonoma Noun
tain. And here on the crest, three
hours afterward, he emerged, tired and
sweaty, garments torn and face and
hands scratched, but with sparkling
eyes and an unwonted usefulness of
expression. He felt the illicit pleas

big gaming table of San Francisco
seemed very far away. But there was
more than illicit pleasure in his mood.
It was as though he were going
through sort of cleansing bath. No
room here for ell the sordidness.

the dirty pool of city existence. He
was loath to depart. and 1t was not

himself away and take the descent of

Loses Life in Bread-Mixer.

Shenandoah, Ia, June 12.-Henry
Peterson, aged 40, a baker employed
in the Home bakery here was killed
and his body literally ground to
pieces, in bread-mixer. Peterson
went to the bakery at the accustomed
hour in the morning, and apparently
had proceeded with his work When
the proprietor came to work later in
the morning, he noticed Peterson's
absence, and search revealed the
mangled body in the bread mixer, and
the bottom of the machine filled with
blood. Whether Peterson's death was
suicidal or accidental cannot be de-
termined. He had been in town but
a short time, and little is known of
his history.

In sun-kissed California. Suddenly, kiss

in torrents and they were miles

IT IS CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause Of designation, physical be-
cause of pain. Think of the pleasure
Of clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, so essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life, are often only matter Of little
thoughtful care in the selection Of
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do so much for
poor compilations, red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost
so little, that 1t is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a.
postal to "Cuticura," Dept. L, Bos-
ton, will secure a liberal sample Of
each. with 32-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

THE SECRET TERROR.

The haunting fear of sickness and
helplessness is the secret terror OF
the working man. Health is his capi.
tai. Kidney diseases sap mans
strength and vitality. They lessen
his earning capacity. Foley Kidney
Pills bring back health and strength
by healing the disease. They are the
best medicine made for kidney and

In the days before the institution Of

Honiton, but was beaten by an oppo-
nent who paid his electors at the rate
Of f5 vote.
Then the unsuccessful candidate
conceived this brilliant plan, says the
writer of a history Of the Dundonald
family. He announced to his friends
that he was quite determined to win
the seat next time without bribery.
Then he sent the town crier round the
town to announce that all who had
voted for him in this first election might
repair to his agent, from whom they
would receive f1O.
Az comparatively few people hac
voted for him. this was not very ex-
pensive process. And at the next elec-
ton Lord Dundonald was elected by
an enormous majority. After the tri-
umph several people came to him and
delicately suggested that some reward
was due to such loyalty.
''Not farthing," was the reply.
'.But, my lord. you gave flo head
to the minority at the last election, ana
the majority have been counting on
something handsome on this occasion"

date. my former gift was for their
disinterested conduct in not taking my
opponents bribe of IS. For me to pay
them now would be to violate my own
principles. es."-Pearson's Weekly.

Dr.. VIM. Sadler, author of "The

common colds should be taken ser
iously, especially when they "hang
on" Foley's Honey and Tar Com
pound is a reliable household medi-
cine for coughs and colds, equally ef-
sective for children and for grown
persons. Take it when you feel q

Over land and sea,
How the Home of yesterday
Calls and calls to me!

Wakes long lost dream

Where the mornings CLEAN.
I've been up and down the world,
Touched its Turing gold
But the glitter>wears away
AS man grows old.
Now I only long to be
Where the grasses wave
In sweet lullabies of rest
On my Childhood's grave.
After all, one little spot
Holds the whole of things
There the sunlight shines and

There the springtide sings.
Follow all around the world
Winnow all the skies
Right at home is every joy -
Waiting for your eyes.
