"Ive been working like forty horses ever since this blamed panic set In, and all the time soiqe of those Ideas youd given me were getting ready to sprout. Well, they sprouted this morning, thats all. I knew I wanted to ride In the hills with you just about thirty million times more than I wanted to go to the office. And I knew all the time it waa Impossible. And why? Because of the office The office wouldnt let me. And then I made up my mind that I was to the dividing of the ways. One way led to the office. The other way led to Berkeley. And I took the Berkeley road. Im never going to set foot In the office again. Thats all gone, finished, over and done with, and Im letting it slide clean to smash and then some. Im wiping the slate clean. Im letting It all go smash. When them thirty million dollars stood up to my face and said I couldnt go out with you In the hills today, I knew the time had come for me to put my foot down. And Im putting it down. Ive got you, and my strength to work for you. and that little ranch In Sonoma. Thats all I want, and thats all Im going to save out, along with Bob and YJYolf, a suit case and a hundred and forty hair bridles. All the ret goes, and good riddance. Its that much - junk." A knock at the door Interrupted him, and he was left to stare delightedly at the Crouched Venus and on around the room at Dedes dainty possessions, while she answered the telephone. It Is Mr. Hegan," she said, on returning. "He is holding the line. He says It Is Important Daylight shook his head and smiled. "Please tell Mr. Hegan to hang up. Im done with the office and I dont want to hear anything about anything." A minute later she was back again. "He refuses to bang up. He told me to tell you that Unwin Is in the office now, waiting to see you, and Harrison, too. Mr, Hegan said that Grlmshaw and Hodgkins are In trouble. That It looks as If they are going to break. And be said something about protection." It was startling Information. Both Unwin and Harrison represented big banking corporations, and Daylight knew that if the house of Grlmshaw and. Hodgkins went It would precipitate a number of failures and start a flurry of serious dimensions. But Daylight smiled, and shook his head. He caught her by the hand and drew her to him. "You let Hegan hang on to that line till hes tired. We cant be wasting a second on him on a day like this." "But 1 know something of the fight you have been making," Dede contended. "If you stop now, all the work you have done, everything, will be destroyed. You have no right to do It You cant do It" Daylight was obdurate. He shook his head and smiled tantallzingly. "Nothing will be destroyed, Dede, nothing. You dont understand this business game. Its done on paper. AH I stand for Is paper. Ive got the paper for thousands of acres of land. All right Burn up the paper, and burn me along with It. The land remains. dont It? Nothing Is going to be lost not one pile out of the docks, not one railroad spike, not one ounce of steam out of the gauge of a ferryboat. The cars will go on running, whether I hold the paper or somebody else holds It. By this time Hegan bad arrived In an automobile. The honk of it came In through the open window, and they saw It stop alongside the big red machine. In the car were Unwin and Harrison, while Jones sat with the chauffeur. "Ill see Hegan," Daylight told Dede. "Theres no need for the rest. They can wait In the machine." "Is he drunk?" Hegan whispered to Dede at the door. She shook her head and showed him Ri M Dr. W. E.

SPANISH FORK, UX4 the only conclusion attainable was that the wild financier from Alaska bad gone lunatic. And Daylight bad grinned and confirmed the suspicion by refusing to qee tbe reporter. He halted tbe automobile before Dedea door, and met her with hla same rushing tactics, enclosing her In bis arms before a word could be uttered. 'ive done It, be announced. Youve seen the newspapers, of course. I'm plumb cleaned out, and Ive Just called aroutld to find out what day you feel like starting for Glen Ellen. It'll have to be soon, for Its real expensive living in Oakland these days. My board at the hotel Is only paid to the end of the week, and I can't afford to stay on after that And beginning with tomorrow Ive got to use the street cars, and they sure eat up the nickels." He paused, and waited, and looked at her. Indecision and trouble showed on her face. Then the smile he knew so well began to grow on her lips and In her eyes, until she threw back her head and laughed In the old forthright boyish way. When are those men coming to pack for me? she asked. And again she laughed and simulated a vain attempt to escape bis bear-likarms. Dear Elam," she whispered; dear Elam." And of herself, for the first time, she kissed him. "Now, Ive got an Idea," Daylight said. "Were running away from cities, and you have no kith nor kin, so It dont seem exactly right that w should start off by getting married In a city. So heres the Idea: Ill run up to the ranch and get things In shape around the house and give the caretaker his walking papers. You follow me iu a couple of days, coming on the morning train. Ill have the preacher fixed and waiting. And here's another Idea. You bring your riding togs In a suit case. And as soon as the ceremony's over, you can go to the hotel and change. Then out you come, and you find me waiting with a couple of borseg, and weil ride over the landscape ao as you can aee the prettiest parts of the ranch the first And she's sure pretty, that thing. ranrh. And now that Its settled. I I! be waiting for you at the morning train day after tomorrow." Dede blushed as she spoke. "You are such a hurricane." "Well, maam." he drawled. "I surf hate to burn daylight. And you and I have burned a heap of daylight. We'vt been scandalously extravagant. We might have been married years ago. TO RR CONTINtKD.) B. H.
