simple life well nigh overcomes him.
chapter" XII.
Instead of returning to the city on
Monday, Daylight rented the butcher's
horse for another day and crossed the
bed of the valley to Its eastern hills.
As on the previous day, just for the
Joy of it, he followed cattle-trails at
haphazard and worked his way up to
ward the summits. Coming out upon
a wagon road that led upward, he fol
lowed it for several miles, emerging
In a, small, mountain-encircled valley,
where half a dozen poor ranchers
farmed the wine-grapes on the steep
slopes. Beyond, the road pitched up
ward. Dense chaparral covered the
exposed hillsides, but in the creases
of the canyons huge spruce trees
grew, and wild oats and flowers.
Late in the afternoon he broke
through, and followed a well-defined
trail down a dry canyon. The dry
canyon gave place to one with a slen
der ribbon of running water. The
trail ran into a wood-road, and the
wood-road emerged across a small flat
upon a slightly traveled country road.
There were no farms in this immedi
ate section, and no houses. The soil
was meager, the bed-rock either close
to the surface or constituting the sur
face itself. Manzanlta and scrub-oak,
however, flourished and walled the
road on either side with a jungle
growth. And out a runway through
this growth a man suddenly scuttled
In a way that reminded Daylight of a
rabbit
He was a little man, in patched
overalls; bareheaded, with a cotton
shirt open at the throat and down the
chest. The sun was 'ruddy-brown In
his face, and by it his sandy hair was
bleached on the ends to peroxide
blonde. He signed to Daylight to
halt, and held up a letterT '
Tf you're going to town, Yd be
obliged if you mail this," he said.
T sure wlL" Daylight put It Into
his coat pocket "Do you live here
abouts, stranger?
But the little man did not answer.
He was gazing at Daylight in a sur
prised and steadfast fashion.
T know you," the little man an
nounced. "You re Elam Harnlsh
Burning Daylight, the papers call you.
Am I rlghtf"
Daylight nodded. !
"Well, I'm glad I wrote that letter
. this . afternoon," the little 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 for faces. I recognized you
at oujce. My ' name's Ferguson." ,

"Do you lire hereabouts f Daylight
repeated his query.
"Oh. yes. I're got a little shack
back here in the bush a hundred yards
and a pretty spring, and a few fruit
trees and berry bushes. Come in and
take a look. And that spring is a
dandy. You never tasted water like

Walking and leading his horse. Day
light followed the quick-stepping,
eager little man through the green
tnnnel and emerged abruptly upon the
clearing, if clearing It might be called.
where wild nature and man's earth
scratching were Inextricably blended.
It was a tiny nook in the hills, pro
tected by the steep walls of a canyon
mouth. Here were several large oaks,
evidencing a richer soil. The erosion
of ages from the hillside had slowly
formed this deposit of fat earth. Un
der the oaks, almost buried In them,
"What Do You Think of It, Ehr
stood a rough, unpalnted cabin, the
wide veranda of which, with chairs
and hammocks, advertised an out-of-doors
bedchamber. Daylight's keen
eyes took in everything. The clearing
was Irregular, following the patches
of the best soil, and every fruit tree
and berry bush, and even each vege
table plant had the water personally
conducted to it The tiny irrigation
channels were everywhere, and along
some of them the water was running.
Ferguson looked eagerly Into his
visitor's face for signs of approbation.
"What do you think of it, eh?"
"Hand-reared and manicured, every
blessed tree," Daylight laughed, but
the joy and satisfaction that shone in
his eyes contented the little man.
"Why, d'ye know, I know every one
of those trees as if they were sons of
mine. I planted them, nursed them,
fed them, and brought them up. Come
on and peep at the spring."
"It's sure a hummer," was Daylight's
verdict, after due inspection and sam
pling, as they turned back for the
house.
The interior was a surprise. The
cooking being done in the small, lean
to kitchen, the whole cabin formed a
large living-room. A great table In
the middle was comfortably littered
with books and magazines. All the
available wall space, from wall to ceil
ing, was occupied by filled book
shelves. It seemed to Daylight that
he had never seen so many books as
sembled In one place. Skins of wild
cat 'coon and deer lay about on the
pine-board floor.
Daylight found himself charmed and
made curious by the little man. Why
was he hiding away here In the chain
arral, he and his books? So It was,
when between them they had washed
and wiped the dishes and put them
away, and had settled down to a com
fortable smoke, .that Daylight put his
question. 1
"Look here, Ferguson. Every since
we got together, Tve been casting
about to find out what's wrong with
you, to locate a screw loose some
where, but IH be daaged if I've suc
ceeded. What are you doing here,
anyway?
Ferguson frankly showed his pleas
ure at the questions.
"First of all," he began, "the doctors
wound up by losing all hope for me.
Gave me a few months at best and
that after a course in sanitariums
and a trip to Europe and another to
Hawaii. They tried electricity and
forced feeding and fasting. I was a
graduate of about everything in the
curriculum. They kept me poor with
their bills, while I went from bad to
worse. The trouble with me was two
fold; first I was a horn weakling; and
next, I was living unnaturally too
much work, and responsibility and
strain. ,1 was managing editor of
the Times-Tribune In San Francisco,
and I wasn't strong enough for the
strain. Of course my body went back
on me, and my mind, too, for that mat'
atr. It had to be bolstered up with

piness was before, cor health, Look
at me new and dare to tell me that I
look forty- erea."
"I wouldn't give a day over forty,
Daylight confessed.
"Yet the day I came here I locked
nearer sixty, and that was lf tec s
years ago
They talked along, and Daylight
locked at the world from new angles.
Here was a man, neither bitter cor
cynical, who laughed at the city-dwellers
and called them lnnatica; a man
who did not care for money, and In
whom the lust for power had long
since died. -
It was not until ten o'clock that
Daylight parted from Ferguson. As
be rode along through the starlight, the
Idea came to him of buying the ranch
on the other side of the valley. There
was no thought In his mind of ever
Intending to live on It His game was
in San Francisco. But he liked the
ranch, and as soon as he got back to
the ofSce he would open up negotia
tions with Hlllard.
The time passed, and he played on
&t the game. San Francisco's attl-
xaa toward Daylight had undergone
a change. While he, with his slashing
buccaneer methods, was a distinct
menace to the more orthodox finan
cial gamblers, he was nevertheless so
grave a menace that they were glad
enough to let him alone. He had al
ready taught them the excellence of
letting a sleeping dog lie.
Dede Mason was still in the office.
He had made no more overtures, dis
cussed no more books. He had no ,
active interest In her, and she was to j
him a pleasant memory of what had
never happened, a joy, which, by his j
essential nature, he was barred from !
ever knowing. Yet, while his interest
had gone to sleep and his energy was '
consumed la the endless battles he
waged, he knew every trick of the
light on her hair, every quick definite
mannerism of movement every line of
her figure as expounded by her tailor-
made gowns. Several times, six
months or so apart, ke had increased
her salary, until now she was receiv-;
ing ninety dollars a month. Beyond ;
this he dared not go, though he got
around It by making the work easier, j
This he had accomplished after her j
return from a vacation, by retaining
her substitute as an assistant. Also, (
he had changed his office suite, bo that ,
now the two girls had a room by them-;
selves. The more he saw of her, and
the more he thought he knew of her,
the more unapproachable did she
seem to him. But since he had no in
tention of approaching her, this was
anything but an unsatisfactory fact
He was glad he had her, in his office,
and hoped she'd stay, and that was
about all.
Daylight did not improve with the
passing years. The life was not good
for him. He was growing stout and
soft and there was unwonted flabbi
ness in his muscles. The more he
drank cocktails, the more he was com
pelled to drink in order to get the de
sired result the Inhibitions that eased
him down from the concert pitch of
his operations.' And with this went
wine, too, at meals, and the long
drinks after dinner of Scotch and soda
at the Riverside. Then, too, his body
suffered from lack of exercise; and,
from lack of decent human associa
tions, his moral fibers were weaken
ing. Never a man to hide anything,
some of his escapades became public,
such as speeding, and of joy-rides in
his big red motor car down to San
Jose with companions distinctly sporty
incidents that were narrated as
good fun and comically in the news
papers. CHAPTER XIII.
One Sunday, late In the afternoon,
found Daylight across the bay in the
Piedmont hills of Oakland. As usual,
he was In a big motor car, though not
his own, the guest of Swiftwater Bill,
Luck's own darling, who had come
down to spend the clean-up of the sev
enth fortune wrung from the frozen
Arctic gravel. It was a merry party,
and they had made a merry day of it
circling the bay from San Francisco
around by San Jose and up to Oak
land, having been thrice arrested for
speeding, the third time, however, on
the Haywards stretch, running away
with their captor. Fearing that a tele
phone message to arrest them had

Bat SlXtwter Bill failed to see
why he should cot go Into Oakland
by way r Blair Park, a&d so decided.
The next moment flying around a
bend, the back-road they were cot
going to take sppeared. Inside the
gate, leaning out from her saddle sad
just closing It wss a young woman cn
s chestnut sorret With his first
glimpse. Daylight felt there was some
thing strangely familiar about her.
The next moment, straightening up in
the saddle with a movement be could
not fall to identify, she put the horse
into a gallop, riding, away with her
back toward them. It was Dede Ma
soa he remembered what Morrison
hsd told him about her keeping a rid
ing horse, and he was glad she had
not seen him in this riotous company.
Intervening trees st that moment
shut her from view, and Swiftwater
Bill plunged into the problem of dis
posing of their constable, while Day
light leaning back with closed eyes,
was still seeing Dede Mason gallop off
down the country road.
On Monday morning, coming in for
dictation, he looked at her with new
interest though he gave no sign of
it; and the stereotyped business
passed off in the stereotyped way. But
the following Sunday found him on a
horse himself, across the bay and rid
ing through the Piedmont hills. He
made a long day of It hut no glimpse
did he catch of Dede Mason, though
he even took the back-road of many
gates and rode on into Berkeley. It
had been a fruitless day, so far as she
was concerned; and yet not entirely
fruitless, for he had enjoyed the open
air and the horse under him to such
purpose that, on Monday, his instruc
tions were out to the dealers to look
for the best chestnut sorrel that
money could buy. At odd times during
the week he examined numbers of
chestnut sorrels, tried several and was
unsatisfied. It was not till Saturday
that he came upon Bob. Daylight
knew him for what he wanted the mo
ment he laid eyes on him. A large
horse for a riding animal, he was none
too large for a big man like Daylight.
In splendid condition, Bob's coat In
the sunlight was a flame of fire, his
arched neck a Jewelled conflagration.
Daylight examined the mane and
found it finer than any horse's hair
he had ever seen. Also, its color was
unusual in that it was almost auburn.
While he ran his fingers through it
Bob turned his head and playfully
nuzzled Daylight's shoulder.
"Saddle him up. and I'll try him,"
he told the dealer. "I wonder if he's
used to spurs. No English saddle,
mind. Give me a good Mexican and a
curb bit not too severe, seeing as he
likes to rear."
Daylight superintended the prepara
tions, adjusting the curb strap and
the stirrup length, and doing the
cinching. He shook his head at the
martingale, but yielded to the dealer's
advice to allow it to go on. And Bob,
beyond ' spirited restlessness and a
few playful attempts, gave no trouble.
Nor in the hour's riding that followed,
save for some permissible curveting
and prancing, did he misbehave. Day
light was delighted; the purchase was
immediately made; and Bob, with rid
ing gear and personal equipment was
dispatched across the hay forthwith
to take up his quarters in the stables
of the Oakland Riding Academy.
The next day being Sunday, Day
light was away early, crossing on the
ferry and taking with him Wolf, the
leader of his sled team, the one dog
which he had .selected to bring with
him when he left Alaska. Quest as he
would through the Piedmont hills and
along the many-gated back-road to
Berkeley, Daylight saw nothing of
Dede Mason and her chestnut sorreL
But he had little time for disappoint
ment for his own chestnut kept him
busy. At the end of half an hour
of goodness Daylight lured into confi
dence, was riding along at a walk
and rolling , a cigarette, with slack
knees and relaxed seat the reins lying
on the animal's neck. Boh whirled
abruptly and with lightning swiftness,
pivoting on his hind legs, his fore legs
just lifted clear of the ground. Day
light kept his seat, hut, beyond a fu
tile rein across the neck, did nothing
to prevent the evolution.
"Well, Bob, he addressed the an
TP, at the same time wiping the
sweat from his own eyes, Txn free to
confess that you're sure the blamed
est all-fired quickest creature I ever
saw. I guess the way to fix yon Is ta
keep the spur just a-touchlng ah!
you brute! ,
Tor, the moment the spur touched
him, his left hind leg had reached for
ward In a kick that struck the stir
nip a smart blow. Several times, out
of curiosity. Daylight attempted the
spur, and each time Bob's hoof landed
the stirrup. Then Daylight folio wing
the horse's example of the unexpected,
suddenly drove both spurs into him
and reached him underneath with the
quirt " y : ' : V
-You ain't never had a real licklfig
before, he muttered, ss Bob, thus
rudely Jerked out of the circle of his
own impish mental processes, shot
ahead. --v ' :;
Half a dozen times spurs and quirt
bit Into him, and then Daylight settled
down to enjoy the magnificent gallop.
No longer punished, at the end of a
hajf mile Bob eased down Into a' fast

He had taken a Uki&g to the animal,
and tpXt4 cot of his bargain. He
realised that Bob was cot vide us or
raeaa. the trouble being that he was
bursting with high spirits sad wsa en
dowed with more than the everage
horse's laumgeaoe. it was the spirits
and the latelllgeaoe, combined with
Inordinate rogulshaess, that made him
what he was. What was required to
control him wss a stroag haad, with
tempered sternness and ytt with the
requisite touch of brutal dominance.
Throughout the week Daylight found
himself almost as much inters ted ia
Bob as la Dede; and, cot being la the
thick of any big deals, he wsi prob
ably more laterested la both of them
than la the business game, Bob's
trick cf whirling was of special mo
meat to him. How to overcome it
that was the thing. Suppose he did

would be most disconcerting end em
barrassing. He was not particularly
anxious for her to see him thrown for
ward on Bob's neck. On the other
hand, suddenly to leave her and go
dashing down the back-track, plying
quirt and spurs, wouldn't do, either.
What was wanted was a method
wherewith to prevent that lightning
whirl. He must stop the animal be
fore it got around. The reins would
not do this. Neither would the spurs.
Remained the quirt But how to ac
complish it? Bob always whirled to
the right Very welL He would
double the quirt In his hand, and", the
Instant of the whirl, that douh'e quirt
would rap Bob on the nose. The horse
didn't live, after It once learned the
lesson, that would whirl In the face
of the doubled quirt
More keenly than ever, during that
week In the office, did Daylight realize
that he had no social, nor even human
contacts with Dede. The situation was
such that he could not ask her the
simple question whether or not she
was going riding next Sunday. Thus
he found another card In the hand
the mad god had dealt him. How Im
portant that card was to become he
did not dream, yet he decided that it
was a pretty good card.
Sunday came, and Bob, out in the
Piedmont hills, behaved like an angel.
His goodness at times was of the
pirjted, prancing order, but other
wise he was a lamb. But no Dede did
Daylight encounter. He vainly circled
about among the hill roads, and la
the afternoon took the steep grade
over the divide of the second range
and dropped into Maraga Valley. Just
after passing the foot of the descent
he heard the hoof beats of -a cantering
horse. It was from ahead and coming
toward him. What If it were Dede?
He turned Bob around and -started to
return at a walk. The canter came
nearer, but he faced straight ahead
until he heard the horse behind check
to a walk. Then he glanced over his
shoulder. It was Dede. Th recogni
tion was quick, and, with her, accom
panied by surprise. What more
natural thing than that, partly turn
ing his horse, he should wait till she
caught up with Hm; and that, when
abreast, they should continue abreast
on up the grade? He could have
sighed with relief. The thing
was accomplished, and so easily.
Greetings had been exchanged ; here
they were side by side and going in
the same direction with miles and
miles ahead of them. '
LHe note that her eye was first for
the horse and next for him.
"Oh, what beauty!" she had cried
at sight of Bob. From the shining
light in her eyes,eand the face filled
with delight he would scarcely have
believed that it.beonged to the young
woman he had known In the office,
the young woman with the controlled,
subdued office face. ; ' .
dIdQ,t kow you rode," was one
of her first remarks. " "I imagined
youj were wedded to get-there-quick
machines."
Thus, and to his great relief, they
