She Ravo a Klad little cry, and ho nestled her In closely. Hut the next moment she had thrust herseir oui from him to the old pobitlon at arm's length. "How Is this possible? How can you leavo your business? Has any thing happened?" "No. nolhing's happened yet. but it's going to. blamo quick. I've taken your preaching to heart, nnd I've come to the penitent form. I've taken my last dtink. You're marrying n whisky-soak, but your husband won't lie that. He's going to grow Into an other man so quick you won't know him. A couple of months from now, tip there In Olen Ellon, you'll waku up 6011)0 morning and find ou've got a perfect stranger in the house with you. and you'll have to gut introduced to him all over again. You'll say. 'I'm Mrs. Harnish. who are you? And l II say. 'I'm Elam Hnrnlsh's younger brother. I've just arrived from Alaska to at tend the funeral.' 'What funeral?' you'll say. And I'll say. 'Why the fu neral of that good-for-nothing, gam bling, whisky-drinking Burning Day light the man that died of fatty de generation of the heart from sitting in night and day nt the busitiess game.' Yes. ma'am,' I'll say, 'he's sure a gone coon, but I've come to take his place and mnke you happy. And now, ma'am. If you'll allow tne. I'll just me ander down to the pasture and milk the cow while you're getting btenk fast.' " "Hut you haven't answered my ques tions," sho reproached him, as Hhe emerged, rosy and radiant, from the embrace- that had accompanied tho culmination of bis narrative. "Now just what do you want to know?" ho asked. "I want to know how all this is pos sible? How you are ablo to leave ill 3mu i HO mm Jr A lllill I i M U IEkJftlr? t flii iw II Ml."

"Lot's go nnd get married." bo urged. ai' the whimsicality of his utterance duplicated In his eyes. "I've been wink ing like forty hordes out since tins blamed panic tot In. and all the time some of those Ideas jnu'd glum mo were getting toady to sprout. Well, they sprouted this mottling, that's all. I knew I wanted to ride In the hills with ou just about thlity million times more than I wanted to go to the olllco And 1 knew nil the tlmu It wns Impossible. And why? lleeauho of the olllco.

And 1 took tho Berkeley road I'm never going to net foot In tho ofllco nualn. That's all gone, finished, oer and done with, ami im letting it slide clean to siuumi and then some.

It's that much Junk " A knock nt the door Interrupted him. and he was -left to stare delight edly nt the Crouched Venus and on around the room at Uede's dainty pos sessions, while she answeted tlio tele phone. "It is Mr. Hegan," she said, on re turning. "Ho Is holding the line. l says it is Important." Da light shook his head and smiled. "l'lease tell Mr. Hegan to hang up. I'm done with the olllee and I don't want to hear anything about any thing." A minute later she was back again. "Ho refuses to hang up. Ho told me to tell you thut Unwln Is In the office now, waiting to see you, nnd Hurrlson. too. Mr. Hegan said that Crlmwhaw and Hodgkins are In trouble. That It looks as If they are going to break. And he said something about protection." It was startling Information. Iioth Unwln and Harrison reptesented big banking corporations, and Daylight knew that If tho house of (ilmshtiw and Hodgkins went It would precipi tate a number of falluioa and Matt a flurry of seiious dimensions. Hut Day light smiled, and shook his head He caught her by tho hand and drew her to him. "You let Hegan hang on to that line till he's tiled. Wo can't be wasting a second on him on a day like this." "Hut I know bomething oi the light you have been making," Hedo con tended. "If you stop now, all tho work you have done, everything, will bo de stroyed. You have no ilgV to do It. You can't do It." Daylight was obdurate. He shook his head and smiled tnnta'.'ingly. "Nothing will be destr ed. Dodo, nothing. You don't undo stnnd this business came. It's done on paper. All I stand for Is paper. I ve got the paper for thousands of actus ol land. All right. Hum up the impor, nnd burn me along with It. 'I 'ie land re mains, don't it? Nothing Is going to be lost not one pile out ol tho docks, not one railroad spike, not one ounce of steam out of the gauge of a ferry boat. The cars will go on running, whether I hold the raper or somebody elso holds It " Hy this time Hegan had at rived In an automobile. The honk of It came In through tho open window, and they saw It stop alongsldo tho big ted inn rhino. In the car were Unwln and Harrison, while Jones sat with the chauffeur. "I'll see Hegan." Daylight told Dede. "There's no need tor the lest They can wait lu tho tn"(hlne." "Is he drunk?" Ilegan whispered to Dede at tho door. Sho shook her head and showed htm lu. "flood morning. Iirry." was Day light's giecting. "Sit down and rest your feet You sure seem to be In a flutter." "I am," tho little Irlshmun snapped back. "Grlmshaw nnd Hodgkins ate LMiinn in smash If something Isn t done quick. Why didn't you come to the office? What are you going to do about it?" "Nothing," Daylight drawled lazily. "Except let them smash. I guess. I'vo had no dealings with Grlmshaw and Hodgkins. I don't owo them anything. Besides, I'm going to smash myself. Look hero, Larry, you know me. You know when I mako up my mind I mean It. Well, I've sure made up my mind. I'm tired of tho whole game. I'm letting go or it as rast as i can, and a smash Is tho quickest way to let go. All you've got to do Is to protect yourself and all our friends. Now you listen to mo whllo I tell you what to do. Everything Is In good shapo to do It. Nobody must get hurt.

Kvery company you got stock In will como through" "What have you done to him?" He gan snarled at Dede;. "Hold on there, Larry." For the first time Daylight's voice was sharp, wlillo all the old lines of cruelty in Ills race stood forth. "Miss Manon Is go ing to bo my wife, and while I don t mind your talking to her all you want, you've got to use a different tone of voice or you'll be heading for a hos pltal. which will Mire be an unex pected Milt of smnsh.

Klain. if you do this In sane thing. I won't marry you. I revise to mnrry you." Hegan. In spite or his misery, gave imr n nulck. grateful look. "I'll take my chance on mat, uay light said. "And now.

Consider yourself discharged. "I'd cry. If I thought It would do any good." sho threatened. "In which enso I reckon I'd have to hold you In my arms some more and soit of soothe you down," he threaten ed back. As he stood at tho top of the steps, leaving, sho said: "You needn't send those men. There will bo no packing, because I am not going to mnrry you" "I'm not n bit scared." ho answered, and went down tho steps. CHAPTER XX. Thmn dnvR later. Davllcht rode to Berkeley in IiIb red cnr. It was for tho last time, for on tho morrow the big machine passed Into another's pos session. It had been a strenuous three days, for his smash had been the big gest tho punlc had precipitated In Cal ifornia. Tho papers had been filled with It. and n great cry of Indignation had gono up from tho very men who intnr fnnnil that Davllcht had fully protected their Interests. It was these fncts. coming slowly to light, that gave rlso to tho widely repeated charge that Daylight had gone In sane. It was tho unanimous conviction among business men that no sano man could possibly behave in such fashlou. On tho other hand, neither his prolonged steady drinking nor his affair with Dede became public, so tho nnlv rnnoliislnn nttnltmblo was that tho wild fnaiicler from Alaska had gone lunatic. And Daylight had grinned nnd confirmed tho suspicion by reluslng to Bee the repoiter. lie halted tho automobile before Dedo'a door, nnd met her with his same rush ing tactics, enclosing her In his arms before a wind could bo uttered. "I've done It." ho announced. "You've seen tho newspapers, of course I'm plumb cleaned out. and I've Just called around to find out what day you reel Ilko starting for (Hen Kllcn. It'll have to be soon, rot it's real expensive living In Oakland these days. My board at the bote' Is only pnld to tho end or the week, and I can't afford to stay on after that. And beginning with tomoirow I've got to uso the street cars, and they sure eat up the nickels." Ho paused, and waited, and looked at her. Indecision and tiouble Bhowed on her face. Then tho smile he knew so well began to grow on her lips nnd lu her eyes, until sho threw back her head and laughed In the old forthright boyish way. "When nre those men coming to pnek for me?" she asked. And ntrain sho laughed and simu lated a vain attempt to cscapo his bear-like arms. "Dear Khun." sho whispered; "dear Klam." And of herself, for tho first time, she kissed him. "Now. I've got nn Idea." Daylight said. "We're running away from cit ies, nnd you have no kith nor kin. so It don't seem exactly right that wo should Btart off by getting married In a city. So here's tho Idea: I'll run up to the ranch and get things In shnpe around the hoiibo and give tho caretaker his walklngpnpors. You follow mo In a couple of days, coming on the mniuing train. I'll have tho preacher llxed and waiting. And hero's another Idea. You bring your riding togs In a suit case. And bb soon ns tho ceremony's over, you can go to the hotel and change. Then out you como. and you find me waiting with a couplo of horses, and we'll lido over tho landscape so as you can see tlio prettiest parts of tho ranch tho first thing. And she's sure pretty, that ranch And now that it's settled. I'll bo waiting for you nt tho morning train day after tomonow." Dede blushed as she spoke. "You nre such a hurricane." "Well, ma'am." he drawled, "I suro hato to burn daylight. And you nnd I have burned a heap of daylight. We've been scandalously extravagant. Wo might hnvo been married years ago." (TO HH CONTINUED.)
