A comrade discov ers gold and Daylight reaps a rich har vest. He goes to Dawson, becomes the most prominent figure In tha Klondike and defeats a combination of capitalists In a vast mining deal. Ha returns to civilisation. CHAPTER VII. In no blaze of glory did Burning Daylight descend upon San Francisco. Not only had ha been forgotten, but the Klondike along with him. The world was Interested In other things, and the Alaskan adventure, like the Spanish War, was an old story. He set tled down In 8t Francis Hotel, was Interviewed by the cub-reporters on the hotel-run, and received brief para graphs of notice tor twenty-four uuurs. Several months passed In San Fran Cisco, during which time he studied the game and Us rules, and prepared himself to take a hand. Tiring of being merely an onlooker, he ran up to Nevada, where the new gold-mining boom was fairly started "Just to try a flutter," as be phrased It to himself. The flutter on the To nopab Stock Excbange lasted Just ten days, during which time his smash ing, wild-bull game played ducks and drakes with the more stereotyped gamblers, and at tbe end or which time, having gambled Florldel Into his fist, he let go for a net profit of half a million. Whereupon,, smacking his lips, be departed for San Fran cisco and the St. Francis Hotel. It tasted good, and bis hunger for the game became more acute. And once more the papers sensa tionalized blm. BURNING DATLIOHT was a big-letter headline again. In terviewers flocked about htm. . Old files of magazines and newspapers were searched through, and tbe ro mantic and historic Elam Harnish. Adventurer of tbe Frost, King of tbe Klondike, and Fatber of the Sour doughs, strode upon the breakfast te- ble of a million homes along with tbe toast and breakfast foods. Even be- ' fore his elected time, he was forcibly launched Into the game. Financiers ; and promoters, and all the flotsam and Jetsam . of the sea of speculation urged upon the shores of his eleven millions. In self-defence he was com pelled to open offices. He dabbled in little : things at flrst "stalling for time," as he explained It to Holds worthy, a friend he had made at the Alta-Paclflo Club. Daylight himself . was a member of the club, and Holds worthy had proposed htm. And It was well that Daylight played closely at first, for he was astounded 'by tbe multitudes of sharks "ground-sharks,' he called them that flocked about him. He saw through their schemes readily enough, and even marveled that such numbers of them could find sufficient prey to keep' them going. , Their rascality and general dubious ness was so transparent that he could not understand how any one could be taken In by. them. So It was that be resolved to leave the little men, the Holdsworthys, lone; and, while he met them In good fellowship, he chummed with none, and formed no deep friendships. He did not dislike the little men, the men of the Alta-Paclflo. for Instance. He merely did not elect to choose them - for partners In the big game In which he intended to play. What this big game was, even be did not know. He was waiting to And it ; And In the meantime he played small bands. Investing- In several arid-lands reclama tion projects ana seeping uis eyes open for the big chance when It should come along. ' And then he met John Dowsett the great John Dowsett It was the first big magnate Daylight had met face to - face, and he was pleased and charmed. There was such a kindly humanness about the man, such a genial demo eraticness, that Daylight found It bard to realize that this was the John Dow sett, president of a strfng of banks, Insurance manipulator, reputed ally of the lieutenants of Standard OH, and known ally of the Ouggenhammers. . Nor did his looks belle bis reputation anteed all that Daylight1 knew of him. ' Despite his sixty years and snow . white hair, his. hand-shake was firmly hearty, and be showed no signs ot decrepitude, walking with a quick, nappy step, making all movements definitely and decisively. . It was not long afterward that Day , light came on to New York. A letter cause simple little typewritten let ter of several lines. But Daylight had thrillMl aa ha read ft- Tha bald sentences seemed gorged with mys tery. "Our Mr. Howlson will call up on yon at your hotel. He Is to be trusted. We must not be seen to . gether. Ton will understand after we have had our talk." Daylight conned . the words over and over. That was it Tbe big game had arrived, and It looked as If be were being Invited to - sit in and take a hand. Surely, for no other reason would one man so peremp torlly Invite another, man to make a Journey across the continent . ; They met thanks to "our" , Mr. Eowlscn up the Hudson, la a mag nificent country boms. Daylight' ac cording to Instructions, arrived in a private motor car which had been fur nished blm. Dowsett was already there, and another man whom Day light recognized before the Introduc tion was begun. It wss Nathaniel Let ton, and none other. Daylight had seen his face a score of times in tbe mag azines and newspapers, and read about bis stsndlng In the financial world, and about his endowed University of Daratona. He, likewise, struck Day light aa a man of power, though be was puzzled In that be could find no likeness to Dowsett Except In tbe matter of cleanness a cleanness that seemed to go down to the deepest fibers of blm Nathaniel Letton was unlike the other in every particular. Thin to emaciation, be seemed a cold flame of a man. Not more .than fifty, thatched with a sparse growth of Iron gray hair, be looked several times the age of Dowsett Tbey drank that Is, Nathaniel Letton took mineral water served, by tbe smoothly operating ma chine of a lackey who Inhabited tbe place, while Dowsett took Scotch and soda and Daylight a cocktail. Leon Ouggenbammer arrived in the midst of the drink, and ordered Scotch. Day light studied him curiously. This was one of tbe great Guggenhammer fam ily; a younger one, but nevertbeless one of tbe crowd with which he had locked grapples In the North. .Nor did Leon Ouggenbammer fall to men tion cognizance of that old affair. He complimented tayllgbt on his prow- VdWitPp i I II,, A l Must Say, Mr. Harnish, That You ess "Tbe echoes of Ophlr came down to us, you know. And I must say, Mr. Daylight er, Mr. Harnish. ' that you whipped ua roundly In that affair." Leon Guggenhammer waa young and fat.. Not a day more than thirty, his face, save for tbe adumbated puff sacks under the eyes, was as smooth and llneless as a boy's. The talk soon centered down to business. Dow sett broached the plan, aided by an occasional remark from tbe other two, while Daylight asked questions. What ever the proposition was, be was go lng lnto.lt with his eyes open. And they filled hlB eyes with the practical vision of what he had in mind. . , "They will never dream you are with us," Guggenhammer interjected, as tbe outlining of the matter drew to a close, bis "handsome Jewish eyea flashing i enthusiastically . "They'll think you are raiding on your own In proper buccaneer style." . "Of course, you understand, Mr. Har nish, the absolute need for keeping our alliance in the dark," Nathaniel Letton warned, gravely. , Daylight nodded his bead. ' "And you also understand," Letton went on, "that the result can only be productive of good. Tbe thing Is legitimate and right and the only ones who may be hurt are the stock gam blers themselves. It Is not an attempt to smash the market Aa you lee your self, you are to bull the market The honest Investor will be the gainer." "Yes. that's the very thing," Dow sett said.

Not only will you bull Ward Valley, but you will at tha same time gather Ward Valley in. This will be of ines timable advantage to us, while you and all of us will profit by It as well. And as Mr. Letton has pointed out the thing Is legitimate and square. On the eighteenth the directors meet, and. Instead of the customary divi dend, a double dividend will be de clared." "There will be all sorts of rumors on the street," Dowsett warned Day light "but do not let tbem frighten you. These rumors may even origin ate with us. .You can see bow and why clearly. But rumors are to be no concern of yours. You are on the Inside. All you have to do Is buy. buy, buy, and keep on buying to tbe last stroke, when the directors declare the double dividend. Ward Valley will Jump so that it won't be feasible to buy after that" "And one other thing, Mr. HanJeh," Ouggenbammer said, "If you exceed your available cash, or the amount you care to Invest In the venture, don't fall. Immediately to call on us. Remem ber, we are behind you." "Yes, we are behind you," Dowsett repeated. Nathaniel Letton nodded bis head in affirmation.. f CHAPTER VIII. Back at his hotel, though nearly two In the morning, he found the reporters waiting to interview him. Next morn ing there were more. And thus, with blare of paper trumpet, was be re ceived by New York.

What had he come forT To trim the New Yorkers as he had trimmed the Tonopah crowd In Nevada? They were prepared for him to play, and, when heavy buying of Ward Val leg began, it was quickly decided that he was the operator. Financial gossip buzzed and bummed. He waa after tbe Guggenbammers once 'more. , Tbe story of Ophir was told over again and sensationalized until even Day light scarcely recognized it Still, it waa all grist to his mill. Tbe stock gamblers were clearly befooled.

"So they left the natives In posses sion and the consequence Is that Ua eager were tbe sellers that Wart) Valley rose but slowly. A wildly ex citing time was bis during tbe week preceding Thursdaj (be eighteenth Not only was be gambling as be bad never gambled before, but be was gambling at the biggest tsble In tbe world for stakes so large that even the case-hardened habitues of that ta ble were compelled to sit up. In spite of tbe unlimited selling, his persist ent buying compelled Ward Valley steadily to rise, and as Thursday ap proacbed, the situation became acute Something had to smash. How much Ward Valley was this Klondike gam bier going to buyT How much could be buy? What was tbe Ward Valley crowd doing all this time? Daylight appreciated Interviews with them that appeared Interviews delightfully placid and non-committal. Leon Gug genhammer even hazarded the opinion that this Northland Croesus might pos sibly be making a mistake But not that they cared, John Dot-sett ex plained. "It is purely gambling from beginning to end," were Natnanlel Let ton's words; "and we refuse to have anything to do with It or to take no tice of it In any way." During this time Daylight had sev eral secret meetings with bis partners one with Leon Guggenhammer, one with John Dowsett and two with Mr. Howlson. Beyond congratulations, they really amounted to nothing: for, as be was Informed, everything was going satisfactorily. But on Tuesday morn ing a rumor that was disconcerting came to Daylight's ears. It was also published In the Wall Street Journal, and It was to the effect on apparently straight Inside Information, that on Thursday, when the directors of Ward Valley met Instead of the customary dividend being declared, an assess ment would be levied, It was tbe flrst check Daylight had received. It came to him with a shock that if the thing were so be was a broken man. And it also came to him that all tbls colos sal operating of bis was being done on his own money. Dowsett, Gug genhammer and Letton were risking nothing. It was a panic, shortlived, it was true, but sharp enough while It lasted to make blm remember Holds worthy and the brick-yard, and to im pel blm to cancel all buying orders while be rushed to a telephone. "Nothing In it only a rumor," came Leon Guggenbammer's throaty voice in the receiver. "As you know," said Nathaniel Letton, "1 am one ot the directors, and I should certainly be aware of it were such action con templated." And John Dowsett: "I warned you again st Just such rumors. There is not an lota of truth in it certainly not I tell you on my bonoi as a gentleman." Heartily ashamed of himself for his temporary loss of nerve. Daylight re turned to bis task. Tbe cessation of buying had turned the Stock Exchange Into a bedlam, and down all the line ot stocks tbe bears were smashing Ward Valley, as the apex, received th brunt of tbe shock, and was already beginning to tumble. Daylight calm ly doubled bis buying ordera And all through Tuesday, Wed' nesday and Thursday morning. h went on buying, while Ward Valley rose triumphantly higher. Still they sold, and still he bought exceeding his power to buy many times over, when delivery was taken Into account What of that? On this day the double dividend would be declared, - he as sured himself. The pinch of delivery would be on the shorts. Tbey would be making terms with him. And then the thunderbolt struck True to the rumor, Ward Valley levied the assessment Daylight threw up his arms. He verified the report and quit Not alone Ward Valley, but all securities were being hammered down by the triumphant bears. As for Ward Valley. Daylight did not even trouble to learn if it had fetched bottom or waa still tumbling. Not stunned, not even bewildered, while Wall Street went mad. Daylight withdrew from tbe field to think, it. over. After a short conference with his brokers, be pro ceeded to bis hotel, on tbe way pick ing up tbe evening papers and glanc ing at tbe headlines.

After half an hour he roused himself to take the drink, and as he felt the liquor pass warmingly through his body, his fea tures relaxed into a slow, deliberate, yet genuine grin.

Maybe I wouldn't admit that if It bad lost tbe game, except to fel lows I know well enough, but it was. Lots of times I read bow someone makes a bonebeaded play wben I know it was a good play, and lots of times I read about them making good plays that are good plays only because they get away with them. Any play Is a good play as long as It Is a help to ward winning a game, and any play Is a rotten play if it loses a ball game.

I think it was tbe third game of the series. It ; was a fierce fight all tbe way, as every ' game of the series was, and tbe score j was close when we came down to the end. We were tied, and neither bad . scored many runs, but late In tbe ' game Chicago got a runner to second base with one out and we were bat tling to keep them from scoring the winning run. Hofman was at bat and I was watching closely to see what our pitcher was handing up to him, and playing a little bit closer to the bag than usual because of Hofman's speed In coming down to flrst He hit tbe ball a mile a minute, almost over tbe corner of the base, and as I saw It coming I knew it was up to me to stop that ball or the game was ' gone. It didn't look as if anyone had a chance to reach the ball, but I jumped over and made a slap at It with my mitt The ball jumped up just In time to hit the edge of tbe mitt bard, and I knew I bad blocked Its force and that it was only a base bit instead of the triple It would have been bad it passed the mitt I really didn't know where the ball was, but saw it rolling slowly back of me into right field. i That far I had made a nice play ' and a lucky stop. I jumped after the , ball, and In doing so I must have lost - my head. I knew the runner was cer tain to beat tbe ball to first He was ahead of Bailee, who was coming over j to cover first when I picked up the ball, and there wasn't a chance to catch him. My play, without doubt '; was to get that ball back to the plate to prevent the running from second trying to score, and It I could hold him at third, which ought to have been easy, we still would have a ' chance to cut oft the runner at the i plate or to try for a double play. 1 was so anxious and rattled that 1 leaped on the ball and cut loose at full speed to flrst Bailee was cover ing as fast as he could, but the way I threw he couldn't have caught the ball any more than he could catch a cannon bait The ball went past him like a flash, struck tbe dirt, bounded straight Into tbe catcher's hands, and the runner who was trying to score from second was out by ten feet at tbe plate. .

Official Statistician of the Americas League HOW NED HANLON HELPED WIN DETROIT'S ONLY WORLD'S PENNANT HERE and there among the crowds that during the last Ave year have been amazed and delighted by the performance of Tyrus Cobb could be found many old time patrons of the game. These graybeards took pleasure in comparing the southerner with one f his predecessors, a fleet outfielder, who led a team of world's champions for Detroit wben the present day "Peach" was a mere blossom. A man celebrated In hta youth as a player, in later yeara as a manager, president and capitalist Ned Han Ion, in 1887 captain and center fielder of the "Sluggera" of Detroit, the great est band of fence breakers that ever drove a pitcher from the slab. In Detroit It is not considered strange if, after the casual spectator has exclaimed in astonishment at some spectacular play, one of the above men tioned charter members of the Rooters' society seizes the opportunity to re gale his neighbor with a Hanlon story; possibly the one told here; that saved a game and helped to win the only world's championship pennant that baa ever been flung to the breeze in tbe City of the Straits. In 1887 Detroit won the National league flag and tlfe St Louis Browns,, under the leadership of Comiskey, took the American association bunting for the third time In succession. The Browns were the title holders, having won the honors from Anson's Chicago team the year before. Tbe first and second games of tbe Detroit-Browns series were played In St Louis, each team winning one. Tbe third contest opened in Detroit on Oo tober 12, with excitement among the fans running high. Carruthers and Bush ong were in the points for the Browns, while Hanlon split his Pretzel bat tery, Getzln and Ganzel, and sent Charlie Bennett behind the bat St Loula scored a run in tbe second Inning, and so well did easy going, handsome Bob Carruthers work that not until the e lghth round could Detroit with a team . batting average of .347 for the National league season, tie it up. Tbey went through the next three Innings neck and neck. ' In the twelfth with any fair luck and without Ned Hanlon in opposition, the Browns would have won. With one down, Carruthers hit far to right.but big Sam Thomp son was planted in Just the right spot and hauled It in. Foutz then cam, up and drove a liner high 6ver second, which waa meant for a home run. The nervous and now silent crowd despairingly watched Hanlon In a mad chase to overtake the flying missile. By a tremendous leap be succeeded, and the roars of jubilation shook the stand. The game was saved. Detroit; pushed over a run In the next inning and won. The following day the world's championship was assured. . Had any tan of that time suggested however mildly that any mere fielder could in the future take the place then held by Captain Hanlon in the affections of Detroit be would instantly have become an object of Interest to the doctors.

In the sixth round tbe big twlrler Plank disagreed so emphatically with the umpire be was removed from the pic ture, and Morgan took bis plaoe. The shadowy southpaw of the Chicago team was weaving his mystio curves around and over the plate In such ef fective fashion that four of his oppo nents reached flrst base In nine In-, nlngs, and third was a region entirely unexplored. Morgan's task, therefore, seemed heavy, but he proved to be very effective. He escaped In tbe tenth, when, through an error of Judg ment on the part of th Chicago man ager and the good right arm of Bris coe Lord, the Sox failed to score the winning run. Thus they went Into tbe thirteenth round with the score a tie, no runs on either side. Here White finally weak ened and gave the visitors an opening.! Baker opened with a safe drive.
