"You nuiHt a' taken kooi! caro of yourHelf," DayllKht miKKested. "I tlon't know about that. I ain't 'loafed nono. I walked across tho plains with an ox team and lit Injuns in Til, and I was a family man with uvcn youngsters. I reckon 1 was ns old then ns you tiro now, or pretty nlfih on to It." "Don't you find It lonely liero?" Tho old man shifted the pall or milk nnil rclleeted. "Thnt all depends," ho tmlil nrncul 'nrly. "I ain't nnvor heon lonely ex cept when tho ild wife died.

Tho old mini chuckled, mid Dny illBht rodo on, sltiRtilnrly nt ponco with himself nnil nil tho world. It scotnod that tho old contentment of trail and icnmp ho had known on tho Yukon ihad como back to him. He could not (shako from his eyes tho plcturo of tho old pioneer coming up tho trnll through tho sunset light. Ho was cer tainly roIiib nnnio for olRhty-four. Tho thought of following his example en tered Daylight's mind, hut tho big gnmo of San Francisco vetoed tho Idea. Ho wns n llttlo mnn, In patched overalls; bareheaded, with n cotton shirt open at tho throat and down tho chest. Tho sun was ruddy-brown In his face, and by It his sandy hnlr was bleached on tho ends to poroxldo blonde. Ho signed to Daylight to halt, and held up a letter. "If you're going to town. I'd bo obliged If you mnll this," ho snld. "I sure will." Daylight put It Into his coat pocket. "Do you llvo here abouts, stranger?" Hut tho llttlo mnn did not nnswor. JIo was gazing at Daylight In a sur prised and steadfast fashion. "I know you," tho llttlo mnn nn nSunced. "You're Khun Ilarnlsh llurnliig Daylight, tho papers call you. Am I right?" Daylight nodded. "Well, I'm glad I wrolo that letter this afternoon," the llttlo man went on, "or else I'd have missed seeing you. I've seen your photo In the pa pers many a time, and I've a good memory lor faces. 1 recognized you tit once. My name's Fergunin." "Do you llvo hereabouts?" Daylight lopeatod his nuery. "Oh, yes. I've got n llttlo shack back hero In llio bush a hundred yards and a pretty spring, and it few fruit trees and berry bushes. Como In and take a look. And that spring Is u dandy. You never tasted water llko It. Como In and try It." Walking nnil leading bin horse, Day light followed tho ipilck-ntepplug, eager little man through the green tunnel mid emerged abruptly upon tho clearing, If clearing It might bo enlleil, where wild nature and man's earth- scratching were Inextricably blended. It wns a tiny nook In the hills, pro tected by tho steep wnlls of a canyon fed them, and brought them up. Como on nnil peep nt the spring." "It'ii sure a hummer," was Daylight's verdict, after duo Inspection and sam pllng, as they turned back for tho house. Tho Interior wan a mtrprfec. Tho cooking being ilono In the smnll, lean to kitchen, tho whole cnhln formed n largo llvltig-ioom. A grunt table In the mlddlo wns comfortably littered with books and magazines. All tho nvnllablo wall space, from wall to coll ing, was occupied by filled book shelves. It seemed to Dnyllght that ho had never seen so ninny hooks as sembled In ono pluce. Kklns of wild cat, 'coon and deer lay about on tho plnn-bonrd lloor. Daylight found himself charmed and mnilo curious by tho little mnn. Why wns he hiding awny hero In tho chap arral, ho nnd his books? So It was, when between them they hnd wnslied nnd wiped the dlahrs and put them awny, and hnd settled down to a com fortnblo smoke, that Daylight put his question. "Look hero. Ferguson. Kvery slnco wo got together, l'vo been easting nhout to Unit out what's wrong with you, to locate a scicw loose some where, but I'll be danged If I've suc ceeded. What are you doing here, anyway?" Ferguson frankly showed his pleas uie nt the cpiestlons. "First of all," ho began, "tho doctors wound tip by losing all hope for me. (lave me a few months at best, and that, after a course In sanitariums and a tilp to Kurope and another to llnwall. They tried electricity nnd forced feeding nnd fnstlng. I was a gradunto of about everything In the curriculum. They kept mo poor with their bills, while I wont from bad to worse. The tioublo with me was two fold; llrst I was a born weakling; and ne.t, I wns living unnaturally too much work, and responsibility and strain. I was managing editor of the Tlmes-Trlbuno in San Francisco, and 1 wnsn't strong enough for tho power had long whom tho lust since died. It wns not until ten o'clock that Daylight patted from rorgusoii. As he rode along through the starlight, tho Idea caiuo to him of buying the ranch on tho other sldo of tho valley. Thero was no thought In his mind of over r j 1 ZINC-TOPPED TADLE IS A GHEAT CONVENIENCE. Ono of the Perils of Dlvorcs. "IIov. do !ou like your new papa, little girl?" asked the neighbor.

CHAPTER XII. i Instead of returning to tho city on Monday, Daylight rented tho butcher's norso for another dny nnd crossed tho bed of tho valley to Its eastern hills. As on tho previous day, Just for tho Joy of It, ho followed cattle-trails at haphazard and worked his way up to ward tho summits. Coming out upon a wagon road thnt led upward, ho fol lowed It for several miles, emerging In a small, mountain-encircled valley, whero hnlf n dozon poor ranchers farmed tho wlnegrnpes on tho steop slopes. Uoyond, tho road pitched up ward. Dense chaparral covered tho exposed hillsides, but In tho creates of tho canyons huge spruco trees grew, and wild oats and flowers. Lato In tho afternoon ho broke through, nnd followed a well-defined trail down n dry canyon. Tho dry canyon gave place to ono with a slen der ribbon of running water. The trail ran Into n wood-ronil, and the wood-rond emerged across) a small tint upon a slightly travoled country road. Thero were no fnrms In this immedi ate section, nnd no houses. The soil waB meagor, tho bed-rock cither elos-o to tho surfaco or constituting tho sur faco ltsolf. Mnnzanlta and scrub-oak, however, flourished nnd walled tho road on either sldo with a Jungle growth. And out a runway through this growth a man Httddonly scuttled In a way that reminded Daylight of a rabbit. 3&i,-!53S i vvt m vV ' - l xniiulh " I -s?-;-i?x- msr&. & ss&s! v "What Do You Think of It, Eh?" mouth. Hero were several largo oaks, evidencing a richer soil. Tho erosion of sges lroiu tho hlllsldo i:ad slowly formed thin deposit of fat earth. Un der the oaks, almost burled In them, stood a rough, unpnlntcd cabin, the wide vernnda of which, with chairs nnd hammocks, advertised an out-of-doors bedchamber. Daylight's keen eyes took In everything. Tho clearing was irregular, following tho patches of tho best soil, nnd every fruit trco and berry bush, nnd even each vege table plant, hnd tho water personally conducted tolt. Tho tiny Irrigation channels worb everywhere, and along some of them tho water was running. Ferguson looked engerly Into his visitor's face for signs of approbation. "What do you think of It, eh?" "Hand-reared nnd manicured, every blosu'd tree," Daylight laughed, but tho Joy and satisfaction thnt sliono In his eyes contented tho llttlo man. "Why, il'yo know, 1 know every ono of those trees ns If they wero sons of I mlDtt. I ulantcd them, uursed them, strain. Of cnurso my body went back on me, and my mind, too, for that mat utr. It had to be bolstered up with whisky, which wasn't good for It nny mora than wns the living In clubs nnd hotels good for my stomach and tho rest of me. So I quit, quit every thing, absolutely, and came to llvo In tho Valley of the Moon that's tho Indian name, you know, for Sonoma Valley. I lived In tho lean-to tho first year; then I built tho cabin and sent for my books. I nover know what hap piness was before, nor health. Look at mo now nnd dare to toll mo that I look forty-seven." "I wouldn't glvo a day over forty," Daylight confessed. "Yet tho dny 1 came hero I looked nearer sixty, ami that was fifteen years ago. They talked along, and Dnyllght looked at tho world from now angles. Hero wob a man, neither bitter nor cynical, who laughed at tho clty-dwoll-era and called thorn lunntlcs; a man who did not caro for monty, and in Here Was a Man Who Laughed at City Dwellers and Called Them Lunatics. Intending to llvo on It. Ills game was in San Francisco. Hut ho liked the ranch, and as soon ns lie got back to the olllco ho would open up negotia tions with Illllard. Tho time passed," and ho played on at the game. San Francisco's atti tude toward Daylight had undergone a change. While he, with his slashing buccaneer methods, was a distinct menaco to the moro orthodox finan cial gamblers, ho was nevertheless sol grave a iiietinco that they were glad enough to let him alone. Ho had al ready tnught them tho oxcelleiico of letting u sleeping dog lie. Dede Mason wns still in the ofllco. Ho had mnde no more overtures, dis cussed no moro books. He had no active interest in her, and sho was to him a plensnnt memory of what had never happened, a joy, which, by his essentlnl nature, ho was barred from ever knowing. Yet, while his Interest hnd gone to sleep and his energy was consumed In tho endless battles ho waged, ho knew every trick of tho light on her hair, every quick dellnlto mannerism of movement, every line of her llguro ns expounded by her tailor mado gowns. Several times, six months or so npart, he hail Increased her salary, until now sho was receiv ing ninety dollars a month. Fleyond this ho dared not go, though he got around It by making tho work easier. This ho had accomplished after her return from a vacation, by retaining her substitute ns tin nssistant. Also, ho hnd changed his olllco suite, so that now the two girls hnd. a room by them selves. Tho moro ho saw of her, and the more ho thought ho knew of her, tho moro unapproachable did sne seem to him. Hut slnco he had no In tention of approaching her, this was nnythlng but nn unsatisfactory fact. Ho was glad ho had hor in his ofllco, and hoped she'd stay, and that was about all. Daylight did not Improve with tho passing years. Tho life was not good for him. Ho was growing stout and soft, and thero wns unwonted flnbbl ness in his muscles. Tho moro ho drank cocktails, the more ho was com pelled to drink In order to get the da shed result, tho inhibitions that eased him down from the concert pitch of his operations. And with this went wlno, too, at meals, and the long drinks after dinner of Scotch rrnd soda at tho Riverside. Then, too, his body suffered from lack of exercise; and, from lack of decent human associa tions, his moral fibers wero weaken ing. Never a man to hide anything, some of his escapades beenmo public, such as speeding, and of Joy-rtdos In bis big red motor car down to San Joso with companions distinctly sporty Incidents that wero narrated as good fun and comically in tho news papers. (TO m-; CONTINUED.) Ingenious Drlde Contrives Homo Made Affair That la Conctant De light Is Wonderful Saver of Time nnd Labor. A homo-mndo zinc topped tnblo la a convenience that is u constant de light In tho home of an Iiigeulotm bride. Sho carried out the Idea very inexpensively, alter admiring a cost ly metal-topped table with a raised border of the metal nil nround the edge to keep iminll objectu'lroiii roll ing off when the surlaco wan wet and slippery. She had noticed in her girlhood homo that the kitchen tabic In constant use caused considerable annoyance In keeping it clean and sightly arter hard service. In spito of constant enre, grcaso spots! Ire qucntly penetrated the wooden sur face and refused to bo removed. Dish washing stains from pots nnd pans re sulted from mishaps whon the dish washer wa8 too busy to take the usual precautions. Stains and marks from canning and preserving, knlteinarks trom careless bread cutting, meat stains and evidences of various tormo of cookery lett their mark, until It seemed almost Imposslblo to keep the table presentable while In con stant use. The metal-topped tables (especially the desirable zinc-topped tables) proved out of tho reach of tho mod erate pocltetbook of tho brldo In Foareh i)l novelties and convenient devices in kitchen lurnishiiigs. Sho determined, however, to Improve on tho old methods In lurnlhliing her i new kitchen, and to consider llrst of nil every possible method of la'-or saving. Sho avoided tho usual stumb ling block of considering anything good enough for the kitchen tho cast offs from other pints of the house usually relegated to kitchen Umbo j'nd studied the developments of tho newer science in housekeeping dis played In the attention paid to tho construction of kitchen lurnlturo ar.'.l furnishings. In her crowning achievement ot developing a home-mado zinc-topped table she choso tho smallest of her kitchen tables, without drop leaves; and purchased a piece ot zinc to ex actly cover it, giving tho dimensions of tho table top, without allowing an edgo for turning under. Then to givo a smooth iinlhh and prevent the slip porv edge that turned-under zinc would give, and also to nvoid tho rough sharp edge, sho nailed secure ly till nround the edjio of the zinc Hush with the extreme edgo ot tho table a bit of wooden beading well rounded and smoothed. ru.r.s cvitKi) inutoi i i)Avlv.
