CHAPTER XTTT. T)ede Mason buys a
horse and Daylight meets her In her
E addle trips. He begins to Indulge in
orseback riding and manages to get In
to her company aulte oftan.
CHAPTER XIV.
Another Sunday man and horse and
dog roved the Piedmont hills. And
again Daylight and Dede rode togeth
er. But this time her . surprise at
meeting him was tinctured with sus
picion; or rather, her surprise was of
another order. The previous Sunday
had been quite accidental, but his
. appearing the second time among her
favorite haunts hinted of more than
the fortuitous. Daylight was made to
'"feel that she suspected him, and he,
remembering that be had seen a
"big rock quarry near Blair Park,
stated offhand that he was think-
' ing of buying it. His one-time
Investment in a brickyard had
. put the idea into his head an idea
"that he decided was a good one, for it
enabled him to suggest that she ride
along with him to inspect the quarry.
5 So several hours he spent in her
company, in which she was much tbe
same girl as before, natural, unaffect-
' ed, light-hearted, smiling and laugh-
,ing, a good fellow, talking horses with
. unflagging enthusiasm, making friends
with the crusty-tempered Wolf, and
expressing a desire to ride Bo . whom
she declared she was more in io e with
than ever." Against his better Judg-f
ment. Daylight gave In, and, on an
unfrequented stretch of road, changed
saddles and bridles.
"Remember, he's greased lightning"
he warned, as he helped her to mount.
She nodded, while Bob pricked up
his ears to the knowledge that he had
a strange rider on his back. The
tun came quickly enough too quickly
for Dede, who found herself against
Bob's neck as he pivoted around and
bolted the other way. Daylight followed
on her horse and .watched. He saw
her check the ' animal quickly to a
standstill, and immediately, with rein
across neck and a decisive prod of
the left spur, whirl him back the way
he had come andvalmost as swiftly,
-Get ready to give him the qulrt.cn
the nose," Daylight called. '
He hung almost gleefully upon her
actions in anticipation of what the '
fractious Bob was going to get. And
Bob got It, on bis next whirl, or at
tempt, rather, for he was no more than
hal?-way around when the quirt met
blm smack on Ms tender nose. There
and ' then, in his bewilderment, eur-
prise and pain, his fore feet, just sklnv
ming the road, dropped down."
"Great!" Daylight applauded. A

Again Bob tried. But this time bo

Without Remark, but With You

doubled quirt on his nose compelled
him to drop bis fore feet to the road.
Then, with neither rein nor spur, but
by the mere threat of the quirt, she
straightened blm out.
Dede looked triumphantly at Day
light. "Let me give blm a run?" she asked.
Daylight nodded, and she shot down
the road. He watched her out of
sight around the bend, and watched
till she came into sight returning. She
certainly could sit her horse, was bis
thought, and she was a sure enough
hummer. God, she waa the wife
for a man! Made most Of them
look pretty slim. And to think
of her hammering all week at
a typewriter. That was no place
for her. She should be a man's
wife, taking it easy, with sflks and
satins and diamonds (his frontier no
tion of what befitted a wife beloved),
and dogs and horses, and such things.
But the quarry was doomed to pass
out of his plans for a time, for on the
following Sunday he rode alone. No
Dede on a chestnut sorrel came across
the back-road from Berkeley that day,
nor the day a week later. As the
. third week drew to a close and anoth
er desolate Sunday confronted him,
Daylight resolved to speak, office or
no office. And as was his nature, he
went simply and directly to the point.
She had finished her work with him,
and was gathering her note pad
and pencils together to depart, when
he said:
"Oh, one more thing. Miss Mason,
and I hope you won't mind my being
frank and straight out. You've struck
me right along as a sensible-minded
girl, and I don't think youll take of
fense at what I'm going to say. You
know how long you've been in the of
fice It's years, now, several of them,
anyway; and you know I've always
been straight and aboveboard with
you. I've never what you call pre
sumed. Because you were in my office
I've tried to be more careful than if
if you wasn't in my office you un
derstand. ' But just the same, it don't
make me any the less human. I'm
a lonely sort of a fellow don't
take that as a bid fdr kindness. What
I mean by it is to try and tell you
Just how much those two rides with
you have meant. And now I hope you
won't mind my just asking why you
haven't been out riding' the last two
Sundays?"
!. She played nervously with a pencil
for a time, as If debating her reply,
"while he waited patiently.,
"This riding," she began; -it's not
what they call the right thing. I
leave it to you. You know the world,
j That's the trouble. It's what the
world would have to say about mo
and my employer meeting regularly
and riding in the hills on Sundays.
It's funny, but it's so. I could ride
with one of the clerks without re
mark, but with you no."
"Look here, Miss Mason," said Day
light. T know you dont like this
talking over of things in the office,
Neither do I. It's part of the whole
thing, I guess; a man ain't supposed
, to talk anything but business with his
stenographer. Will you ride with me
next Sunday, and we can talk it over
j thoroughly then, and reach some sort
of a conclusion. Out in the hills Is
the place where you can talk some-
thing besides, business. I guess you've
seen enough of me to know Fm pretty
square. I I do honor and v respect
you, and. . . and all that, and . I

der, and the hand that rested on the
desk blotter was 'visibly trembling.
He strove to pull himself together.

It had been a happy day. Daylight
had met her on the back-road from
Berkeley, and they had had hours to
gether. It wss only now, with the
day drawing to a close and with them
approaching the gate of the road to
Berkeley, that he had broached the
important subject.
She began her answer to his last
contention, and he listened gratefully.
"But suppose, Just suppose, that the j
reasons I have given are the only
ones? that there is no question of
my not wanting to know you?"
"Then I'd go on urging like Sam
Scratch," he said quickly. "Because,
you see, I've always noticed that folks
that incline to anything are much
more open to hearing tbe case stated.
But if you did have that other season
up your sleeve, if you didn't want to
know me, if if. well, if you thought
my feelln'gs oughtnt to be hurt Just
because you had a good Job with me.
. . ." Here, his calm consideration
of a possibility was swamped by the
fear that it was an actuality, and he
lost the thread of his reasoning.
"Well, anyway, all you have to do Is
to say the word and TIY clear out.
And with no hard feelings; it would
bo just a case of bad luck for me. So
Va VinriAet Xffea Mdflnn Tv1flRA And
tell me if that's the reason-I almost
got a hunch that it Is."
"Oh, but that isn't fair," she cried.
"You give me the choice of lying to
you and hurting you in order to pro
tect myself by getting rid of you, or
of throwing away my protection by
telling you tbe truth, for then you, as
you said yourself, would stay and
urge."
Daylight smiled grimly with satis
faction. Tm real glad, Miss Mason, real
glad for those words."
"But they won't serve you." she
went on hastily. "They cant serve
you. I refuse to let them. This is our
last ride, and . . . here is the gate."
Ranging her mare alongside, she
bent, slid the catch, and followed the
opening gate.
"No; please, no," she said, as Day
light started to follow.
Humbly acquiescent, he pulled Bob
back, and the gate swung shut be
tween them. But there was more to
say, and she did not ride on.
"Listen, Miss Mason," he said, in a
low voice that shook with sincerity;
"I want to assure you of one thing.
I'm not jus trying to fool around with
you. I like you, I want you, and I
was never more earnest In my life.
There's nothing wrong In my Inten
tions or anything like that What I
mean is strictly honorable "
But the expression of her face made
him stop. ' She was angry, and she
was laughing at the same time.
Dede Mason had quick, birdlike
ways, almost flitting from mood to.
mood; and she was all contrition on
the instant.
"Forgive me for laughing," she said
across the gate. "It wasn't really
laughter. I was surprised off my
guard, and hurt, too. You see, Mr.
Harnlsh, I've not been ..." v
She paused, In sudden fear of com
pleting the thought Into which her
birdlike precipitancy had betrayed
her.
at you mean is that you've not
been used to such sort of proposing,
1 Like You, 1 Want You and I Never
Was More Earnest In My Life.
Daylight said ""a sort of cn-the-run.
Howdy, glad-to-make-your-acqualnt-ance,
won't-you-be-mlne' proposition."
She nodded and broke into laughter.
In which he joined, and which served
to pass the awkwardness away. He
gathered heart at this, and went on
In greater confidence, with cooler
bead. and tongue.
There, you see, you prove my case.
You've had experience in such mat
ters. I don't doubt you've had alath-
I ; ----- ' :
now and finally, I Just do want you to
reconsider.
He was such a boy, this big giant
cf a millionaire who had half the rich
men of San Francisco afraH of him.
Such a boy! She bad never imagined
this sldo of his nature.
"How do folks get married?" he
was saying. "Why. number one, they
meet; number two, like each other's
looks; number three, get acquainted;
and number four, get married or not,
according to how they like each other
after getting acquainted. But bow in
thunder we're to have a chance to find
out whether we like each other
enough is beyond my eayvee, unless
we make that chance ourselves. I'd
come to see you. call on you, only I
know you're Just rooming or boarding,
and that wont do."
"It's getting late now, anyway,"
Daylight hurried on, "and we've set
tled nothing at all. Just one more
Sunday, anyway-that's not asking
much to settle it in."
She gathered the reins into her
hand preliminary to starting.
"Good night," she said, "and
"Yes," he whispered, with Just the
faintest touch of imperativeness.
"Yes." she saJd, her voice low but
distinct
At the same moment she put the
mare into a canter and went down the
j f oa? ltho backward glance In
tent on an analysis of her own feel
ings.
