CHAPTER XVIII.
Wlien tho forry system began to"
run, and the Umo botwecn Oakland
nnd Snn FrnnclBCO wns demonstrated
to bo cut In half, tho tldo of Daylight's
terrific expenditure started to turn.
Not that it really did turn, for ho
promptly went Into furthor invest
ments. Thousands of lots in his resi
dence tracts wjro sold, nnd thousands
of homos wns being built. Factory sites
nlso wero Holling, nnd business proper
ties in tho heart of Onklnnd. All this
tended to a steady appreciation in tho
value o! Daylight' nugn holding. Dut,
as of old, ho had his hunch and was
riding it. Already ho had begun bor
rowing from tho banks. Tho mag
nificent profits bo made on tbo land
he sold were turned inlo inoro land,
Into moro development; and Instead
of paying off old loans, ho contracted
now ones. As he had pyramided In
Dawson City, ho now pyramided In
Oakland; but ho did it with tho
knowiodgo thai It was a Btablo enter
priso rulliur than a risky placer-mining
boom.
Work on Daylight's dock system
went on npneo; yet it was ono or
thoso enterprises thnt consumed
monoy dreadfully nnd that could not
bo accomplished as quickly as a ferry
system. Not coitent with manu
facturing electricity for his street rail
ways in tho old-fnBhionod wny, In power-houses,
Daylight organized tho Sier
ra and Salvador Power Compuny. This
Immediately assumed largo propor
tions. Crossing tbo Snn Joaquin Val
ley on tho wny from tho mountains,
nnd plunging through tho Contra Cor
ta hlllB, thoro wcro many towns, and
oven n robust city, thnt could bo sup
plied with power, also with light; and
it becamo a strool-and-houso-llghtlng
project ns well. Ab soon as the pur
chase of power sites in tho Sierras
was rushed through, tho survey par
ties woro out and building operations
bogun. And so It wont. Thero wore
a thousand nmwa into which ho pour
ed unceasing streams of money.
In the spring of tho year tho Great
Panic came on. Tbo first warning
was when tho banks began calling in
their unprotected lonim. Daylight
promptly paid tho lirst of several or
hla pcracrffaT notes that were present
ed; then he divined Unit tlieso de
mands' but Indicntcd tho way tho wind
wns going to blow, nnd that ono of
thoso terrific nuunuiul Hlurum be liuu
heard about waa coon to sweep over
tho United States. How terrlllo this
particular storm was to' bo ho did not
anticipate. Nevertheless, ho took
every precaution In his power
and tint! no nnxiuty about his weaUior
ins it out.
And In tho end, whon early summer
was on, everything bogan to mend.
Came a dny whon Daylight did tbo un
precedented. Ho loft tho oulco an
hour earlier thun usual, and for the
reason that for tbo first Umo since tho
panic thoro wns not nn Item of work
waiting to bo done. He dropped into
Ilcgan's private office, beforo leaving,
for a chat, and as he stood up to go,
ho said:
"Hogan, wo'ro all, hunkndory. We're
pulling out of tho financial pawnshop
In fine shape, and wo'll get out with
out leaving ono unrodootnod plcdgo
behind. Tbo worst Is ovor, and the
end Is in sight Just tight rein for a
couplo moro weeks, Just a bit of a
pinch or a flurry or so now and then,
and wo can let go and spit on our
hands."
For onco ho varied his programme
Instead of going directly to his hotel,
ho started on n round of the bare and
c.-foa. drinking a cocktail hero and a
cocktnll there, and two or threo whon
he encountored men bo knew. It was
after an hour or so of this that ho
dropped luto tho bar of tho Partuonon
for ono Iabi drink beforo KP'nK d'n
nor, Dy this Umo nil his being was
pleasantly warmed by tho alcohol, and
I ho wnB In tho most gpuinl and best of
spirits. At tho corner of tho bar sov
oval young mon wero up to tho old
trick of resting their elbows nnd at
tempting to forco each other's hands
down Ono broad-shouldered young
glnnt novcr removed his elbow, but
put down every hand that came
WKtiinst him. Daylight was interested.
"It's BlosBon," tho bark
barke-vjer told
him, In answer to hs quory. "Ho's
tho honvy-hammor thrower nt tbo V.
0. Kroko all records this yonr, and
tho world's record on top of It. Ho's
a husky all right all right."
Daylight nodded and went over to
him, placing his own arm in opposi
tion. "I'd Uko to go you n flutter, son, on
UM proposition," he said.
Tho young man laughed and locked
hands with him; nnd to Daylight's ns
tonlBhment it was his own hand thnt
was forced down on tho bar.
"Hold on." ho muttered. "Just one
more flutter. I reckon I wasn't Just
ready that time."
Again tho bunds locked. It happen
ed quickly. Tho offensive attack of
Daylight's muscles slipped Instantly
Into dofenco, and, resisting vainly, his
hand was forced over nnd down. Day
light was dazed. It had been no trick.
The skill was equal, or, if anything,
tbo superior skill had been his.
Strength, sheer strength, hod Jono It.
Ho called for tho drinks, and, still
dazod nnd pondering, held up his own
nr.m and looked at it as at somo new
strango Uilng. He did not know this
arm. It certainly was n tho arm he
had carried around with him all tho
years. Tho old arm? Why,( it would
havo been play to turn dbwn that
young husky's. But this arm ho cop
tlnued to look at It with such dubious
perplexity as to bring a roar of laugh
ter from tbo young men.
This laughter aroused him. Ho
Joined In It at first, and then his face
slowly grow grave. Ho leaned to-
ward tfio hammer-thrower".
"Son," ho said, "lot mo whisper a
secret Get out of hero and quit
drinking before you begin.
Tho young follow flushod angrily,
but Daylight held Rteadlly on.
"You listen to your dad, and let

self, only I ain't. Lot mo tell you,
several yoars ago for me to turn your
hand down would have boon llko com
mitting aBsnult and Wttcry on a kin
dergarten." Slosson looked his incredulity, whllo
tho othors grinned nnd clustered
around Daylight encouragingly.
"Son, I ain't given to preaching.
This is tho first time I ovor como to
tho penitent form, and you , put mo
thoro yoursolf hard. I've soon a fow
In my Umo, and I ain't fastidious so
as you can notlco It. II tit let mo toll
you right now thnt I'm worUi tho devil
alono knows how many millions, and
Uiat I'd euro give It nil, right hero on
tho bar, to turn down your hand.
Which means I'd give tho wholo shoot

beforo I quit sleeping undor tho stars
and como Into tho hen-coops of cities
to drink cocktails and lift up my feet
and rido. Son, that's what's tho matter
with mo, and that's tho way I fool
about It Tho gamo ain't worth tho
candlo. You just tako caro of your
self, and roll my advlco over onco In a
while. Good night."
Ilo turned and lurched out of tho
placo, tho moral effect of his utter
ance largely spoiled by tho fact that
ho was so patently full while ho ut
tered it
Still in n dazo. Daylight made to his
hotel, accomplished his dinner, nnd
prepared for bed.
"The damned young whlppersnup
por!"' ho muttorcd. "Put my bund
down easy as you please, My band!"
Ho held up tho offending member
and regarded it with Btupld wonder.

CHAPTER XIX.
Daylight nwoko with tho, familiar
parchod mouUi and lips and throat,
took a long drink of water from tho
pitcher besldo his bed, and gathorcd
up tho train of thought whero ho had
left It tho night beforo. Ho reviewed
tho casement of tho financial strain.
Things were mending at last. Whllo
the going was still rough, tho greatest
dangers wero already past
His mind moved on to the incident
at tho corner of the bar of the Par
thenon, when the young athlete bad
turned his hand down. Ho was no
longer stunned by tho event but he
was Bhocked and grieved, as only a
strong man can be, at this panning of
his strength. Ho bad always looked
upon this strength of his as perman
ent and hero, for years, It had been
steadily oozing from him. As ho had
diagnosed it, ho had come In from un
der tho stars to roost In tho coops of
cities. Ho had almost forgotten how
to walk. He had lifted up his feet
and beon ridden around in automo
biles, cabs and carriages, nnd electric
cars. He had not exercised, and he
had dry-rotted his muscles with alco
hol. And was it worth it? What did
all his money mean after all? Dedo
was right It could buy him no moro
than ono bed at a time, and at the
samo tlmo it had made him tho abject
est of slaves. It tied him fast Which
"was better? ho as'ltod himBelf. All
this was Dedo's own thought It wob
what the had meant when, she prayed
ho would go broke. He held up nl3
offending right arm. It wasn't the
samo old arm. Of courso she could
not love that arm and that body as
Bho had loved the strong, clean arm
nnd body of yoars boforo. Ho didn't
like that arm and body himself. A
young whlppersnnppor had been ablo
to tako liberties with It It had gono
back on him. Ho sat up suddenly,
No, ho bad gono back on It! Ho had
gono back on himself. Ho had gono
back on Dedo. She was right, a thou
sand times right, nnd sho had senso
enough to know it, senso enough to

himself In the long mirror on the
wardrobe door. Ho wasn't pretty. 'The

their own weight Ho looked for tho
lines of cruelty Dedo had spoken of,
and ho found them, nnd he found the
harshness in the eyes as well, the
eyes that wero muddy now after all
the cocktails of tho night before, and
of tho months and years before. Ho
looked at tho clearly defined pouches,
thnt showed under his eyes, and they
shocked him. Ho rolled up the sleevo
of his pajamas. No wonder the hammer-thrower
had put his "hand down.
Those weren't muscles. A rising tidp,
of fat had submerged thenu He
stripped off the pajama coat Again
ho was shocked, this time by the bulk
of hi3 body. It wasn't pretty. Tho
lenn stomach had become a paunch.
Tho rigid muscles of chest and shoul
ders and abdomen had broken down
into rolls of flesh. And this was age.
Then Ihcro drifted, .across the field of
vision of his mind's eye tho old man
ho had encountered at Qlen Ellen,
coming up the hillside through the
fires of sunset wblto-beadol and
white-bearded, eighty-four, iu ills hand
tho pall of foaming milk and In his
fnco all the warm glow and content
of tho passing summer day. That had
been age. "Yes siree, eightr-?our, and
spryor than most," bo could hear IHe
6ld man say. i
Next he remembered Ferguson, tho
little man who had sculUed into the
road like a rabbit, tho ono-tlmo man
aging editor of a great newspaper,
who was content to live in the chnpar
ral along with his spring of mountain
water and his hand-reared and mani
cured fruit trees. Ferguson had solved
a problem. A weakling nnd nn alco
holic, ho had run away from the doc
tors and tho chicken-coop of a city,
and soaked up health like a thirsty
sponge. Ho sat down suddenly on tho
bed, startled by tho greatness of tho
idea that bad como to him. He did
not sit long. His mind, working in Ub
customary way, like a steel trap, can
vassed tho idea in all its bearings. It
wns big bigger than anything ho had
faced beforo. And ho faced It square
ly, picked it up In his two bands and
turned it over and around and looked
nt it Tho simplicity of It delighted
him. He chuckled over It, reached his
decision, nnd began to dress. Midway
in tho dressing he stopped In order to
uso tho telephone.
Dede was tho first ho called up.
"Don't come to the offlco this morn
ing," he said. "I'm coming out to see
you for a moment"
Ho called up others. Ho ordered
his motor-car. To Jones he gavo In
structions for tho forwarding of Dob
nnd Wolf to Oien Ellon. Hegnn b
surprised by asking him to look up
tho deed of tho Qlen Ellen ranch and
make out a new ono In Dede Mason's
nnme. "Who?" Hegan demanded.
"Dedo Mason," Daylight replied lm
PGrturcably "the 'phone must be In
dlsUnct this morning. D e-d-o M-a-s-on.
Got it?"
Half an hour lator ho was flying out
to Berkoloy. And for tho first tlmo
tho big red car halted directly beforo
the house, Dedo offorcd to receive
him In tho parlor, but ho shook his
head and nodded toward her rooms.
"In thoro," ho said. "No other placo
would suit"
As the door closed, his arms went
out and around her. Then he stood
with his hnnds on her shoulders and
looking down Into hor fnco.
