"Hut how are you going to do It?"
Dede nsked. "You haven't enough
money for all that you've planned."
"I've thirty million, and If I need
more I can borrow on tho laud and
other things. Interest on mortgages
won't anywhere near eat up tho In
crease In land values, and I'll bo sell
ing land right along."
In the weeks that followed, Day
light was a busy man. It meant nulek
work on n cohibsal scale, for Oakland
and tho adjacent country was not
Blow to feel the tremendous buying
Hut Daylight had tho ready cash and
It had always been his policy to
8trlko quickly. Heforo tho others
could get the warning of tho boom, Ho
quietiy accomplished ninny things At
tho same time that his agents were
purchasing corner lots and entire
blocks In tho heart of tho business
section and tho waste lands for fac
tory sites, Daylight was rushing fran
chises through the city council, cap
turing tho two exhausted water com
panies and the eight or nluo Inde
pendent street railways, and getting
his grip on tho Oakland Creek and
Uj bay tide-lands for his dock system.
Mrmxfmiwmm aihiji.w
The tide lands had been In litigation
for years, and he took (lie hull by tho
horns bulng out the private owners
and at the same time leasing from the
clly fatheis lly the time that Oak
laud was aroused by this unprecedent
ed activity In every direction and was
questioning excitedly the meaning of
It, Daylight secretly bought tho chief
Republican newspaper and the chief
Deinociatlc organ, and moved boldly
Into his new otllces. Of necessity, they
were on a largo scale, occupying four
floors of the only model n olllce build
ing In the town the only building
that wouldn't bo torn down later on,
as Daylight put It There wns de
partment after department, a score of
them, and hundreds of clerks nnd
Stenographers. As he told Dede:
"I've got more companies than you
can shake a stick It. There's the Ala
meda & Contra Costa Land Syndicate,
the Consolidated Street Hallways, the
Yorhn Ituena Kerry Company, tho
I'nlted Water Company, tho Pied
mont Itenlty Company, the Fnlrvlew
and I'orlola Hotel Company, and half
a dozen moro that I've got to refer to
a notebook to remember. There's tho
Piedmont Laundry Kami, and Red
wood Consolidated Quarries. Starting
In with our quarry, I just kept agoing
till I got them all, And there's tho
shipbuilding company I ain't got a
name for yet. Seeing as I had to hove
ferry-boats. I decided to build them
.f You'd Just Let
uiM!lf. They'll bo done by the tlmo
tho plor Is ready for them."
For months Daylight was burled In
work. Tho outlay was terrific, and
there was nothing coming In. Hoyond
a general ilse in land values. Oakland
had not acknowledged his Irruption
on tho financial sceno. Tho city wns
waiting for him to show what ho was
going to do, and he lost no tlmo about
it. Tho host skilled brains on the
maiket wero hired by him for the dif
ferent branches of tho work. Initial
mistakes ho had no pntlonco with, and
ho was determined to start right, as
when ho engaged Wilkinson, almost
doubling his big salary, nnd brought
him out from Chicago to tako charge
of tho street railway organization.
Night and day tho road gangs tolled
on tho streets. And night and day
plledrheis hammered tho big piles
down Into tho mud of San Francisco
Hay. Tho plor was to bo three miles
long, and tho Herkoley hills woro de
nuded of whole groves of mature

At the bamo tlmo thnt his electric
roads were building out through the
hills, tho hay Ileitis wero being sur-
eyed and liinkeu up Into city squares,
with heio and theie, accoullng to best
modern methods, winding boulovnrds
and strips of park. Hioad streets,

all tho purchaser had to do was to
tclcct his lot and architect and start
building. Tho quick service of Day
light's new electric roads Into Oak
land made this big district Immediate
ly accessible, and long before the lor
ry sstem was In operation hundreds
of residences were going up. Tho
profit on this Innd was enormous. In
a day, his on-slaught of wealth had
turned open farming country Into one
of the best residential dlstilcts of tho
city.
Ilul this money that flowed In upon
lilm was Immediately poured hack
Into his other Investments, The need
for electric cars wns so great that he
Installed his own shops for building
them. Hut no mntter what pressure
was on Daylight, his Sundays ho re
served for his riding In the hills. It
was not the rnlny winter weather,
however, that brought theso rides
with Dedo to an end, One Saturday
afternoon In the olllce she told him
not to expect to meet her noxt day,
and, when ho pressed for an explann-tlon.--
"I've sold Mnb."
Daylight tas speechless for tho mo
ment. Her act meant one of so many
serious things thnt he couldn't classi
fy It. It smacked almost of treachery
Sho might have met with Ilnnnelal dis
aster. It might bo her way of letting
htm know she had seen enough of
him. Or . . .
"What's the matter?" ho managed
to ask.
"I couldn't afford to keep her with
hny loiVy-llvo dollars a ton," Dedo
answered "My brother's expenses
have been higher, as well, and I wus
driven to the conclusion that since I

could not afford both, I'd better let
tho mnro go and keep the brother."
"Who bought her?" he asked
Dedo's eyes Hashed In the wny long
since familiar to him when she was
angry.
"Don't you dare buy her buck lor
me," she cried. "And don't deny that
thnt was what you hnd In mind."
"I wish you would reconsider, Miss
Mason," ho said softly. "Not alone
for tho mnro'H sake, but for my sake.
Money don't cut any Ico In this, For
mo to buy thnt maro wouldn't mean
its much as It docs to most men to
send n bouquet of flowers or a box of
candy to a young lady. Thero's no
body I feel chummy with except you,
nnd you know how little wo'vo chum

on Sunday. I've grown kind of to de
pend on you. If you'd just let me buy

"No, no; I toll you no." Dedo arose
Impatiently, but her eyes were moist
with tho niomery of hev pcy. "Pleaso
don't mention her to mo again. If
you think It wns easy to part with
her, you are mlstnken. Hut I've seen
the Inst of nor, and I want to forget
hor."
Daylight mtulo no answer, and tho
door closed behind her.

Ing novel had been a failure. Editors
and publishers would not look nt It,
and Daylight was now using the dis
gruntled author in a little prlvnto
secret service system he had been
compelled to establish for himself.
Jones, who affected to be surprised nt
nothing after his crushing experience,
betrayed no surprise now when tho
task wns given him to locate the pur
chaser of a certain sorrel mare.
"How high shall I pay for her?" ho
asked.
"Any price. You've got to get her,
that's the point. Drive n sharp bar
gain so as not to exclto suspicion, but
get her. Then you deliver her to that
address up tn Sonoma County. The
man's the cnietaker on a little ranch
I have there. Toll him he's to take
whacking good enre of her. And after
that forget all about It. Don't tell mo
the name of tho man you buy her
from. Don't tell mo anything about
It except that you've got her and de
livered her, Savveo?"
Hut tho week had not passed, when
Daylight noted the Hash In Dade's
eyes that boded trouble.
"Something's gone wrong what Is
It?" he said boldly.
"Mnb," sho said. "Tho man who
bought her has hold her already. If
I thought you had anything to do with
it "
"I don't even know who you sold
her to," was Daylight's answer. "And
whnt's more. I'm not hnthorlnn inv
head about her. She was your mare, I
nnd It's none of my business what you I
did with her. You haven't got her.
that's sure, and worse luck. And
now, while we're on techy subjects,
I'm going to open another ono with
you. And you needn't get touchy
about It, for It's not really your busi

them nil over again. Well. I want tp

"If It wero only possible!" she said,
half breathlessly, and wholly without
nngor. "Only It Isn't, nnd you know
It Isn't. I can't nccept money from
you "
"Now look here, Miss Mason.
You've got to get some foolish no
tions out of your head. This money
notion Is ono of tho funniest things I'vo
seen. Suppose you wns fnlllngovera

Sure It would. You'ro standing In

' She visibly hesitated.
"And just remember one thing. Miss
' Mason: It's his leg. not yours."
' Still she refrained from giving her
answer. and Daylight went on
strengthening his position.
"And romember, I go over to seo

I deal with him better without women

afternoon."
CHAPTER XVII.
For six weeks hnnd-runnlng Day
light had seen nothing of Dede ex
cept In the office nnd there ho reso
lutely refrained from making np
pionches. Hut by tho seventh Sunday
Ills hunger for her overmastered him.
It wns a stormy day A heavy south
east galo wns blowing, and squall aft
er squall of rain and wind swept over
the city. He could not take his mind
off of her. and a persistent picture
came to him of her sitting by n win
dow nnd sewing feminine frlpporles of
some sort. When tho tlmo enmo for
his pro-luncheon cocktail to be served
to him In his rooms, he did not tnko
It. Filled with a daring determina
tion, he glnncod at his noto-book for
Dede's telephone number, and called
for tho switch.
At first It wns tho landlady's daugh
ter who wns ralBed, but In a minute
ho heard the volco ho had been hun
gry to hear.
"I Just wanted to tell you that I'm
coming out to see you," ho said. I
didn't want to break In on you with
out warning, that was all."
"Has something happened?" came
hor voice.
"I'll tell you when I get there." he
ovaded
Sho enmo herself to tho door to
receive htm and shake hnnds with
him. Ho hung his mackintosh nnd
lint on tho rack In tho comfortablo
hall and turned to her for direction.
"They nro busy In thero," she said,
Indicating tho parlor, from which
enmo tho boisterous voices of young
peoplo, and through tho open door of
which ho could seo soveral college
youths. "So you will havo o oome

"While attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, In 1SS2, I became alUIcted with
bolls, which lasted for about two
years, when tho affliction assumed tho
form of an eczema on my face, tho
lover part of my facq being Inflamed
most of tho time. There would bo
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever tho water would touch It
would burn, and cause another ono to
rise. After tho blister would open,
tho placo would scab over, and would
burn nnd Itch so as to bo almost un
bearable at times. In this way tho
sores would spread from ono place to
another, back and forth over tho
wholo of my upper lip and chin, and
nt times tho wholo lower part of my
face would be a solid soro. This con
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting nny better, and In fact
got worso all tho time, so much so
that my wifo became alarmed lest it
prove fatal.
"During all this time of bolls nnd
eczema, I doctored with tho best phy
sicians of this part of tho country, but
to no avail. Finally I decided to try
Cutlcura Remedies, which I did, tak
ing tho Cutlcura Resolvent, applying
tho Cutlcura Ointment to tho sores,
nnd using tho Cutlcura Soap for wash
ing. In a very short time I began to
notlco improvement, and continued to
uso tho Cutlcura Remedies until I was
well again, and havo not had n ro
currenco of the troublo since, which Is
over twenty years. I have recom
mended Cutlcuru Remedies to others
ever falnco, nnd havo great faith In
them as remedies for skin diseases."
