When the ferry system began to run, and the time between Oakland and San Francisco was demonstrated to be cut In half, the tide of Daylight's terrtflo expenditure started to turn. Not that It really did turn, for be promptly went Into further Invest ments. Thousands of lots In his resi dence tracts were sold, and thousands of homes was being built Factory sites also were selling, and business proper ties In the heart of Oakland. All this tended to a steady appreciation in the value of Daylight's huge holdings. But, as of old, be had his bunch and was riding it Already be had begun bor rowing from the banks. The mag nificent profits he made on the land lie sold were turned Into more land. Into more development; and Instead of paying off old loans, he contracted new ones. As he had pyramided in Dawson City, he now pyramided in Oakland; but be did it with the knowledge that It was a stable enter prise rather than a risky placer-mln-lng boom. Work on Daylight's dock system went on apace; yet it was one of those enterprises that consumed money dreadfully and that could not be accomplished as quickly as a ferry ystem. Not content with manu facturing electricity for bis street rail ways in the old-fashioned way, in power-bouses. Daylight organized the Sier ra and Salvador Power Company. This Immediately assumed large propor tions. Crossing the San Joaquin Val ley on the way from the mountains, and plunging through the Contra Cos ta hills, there were many towns, and even a robust city, that could be sup plied wlttJ power, also with light; and it became 1 street-and-house-Ilgbtlng project as welt As soon as the pur chase of power sites In the. Sierras was rushed through, the survey par ties were out and building operations begun. And so it went There were a thousand maws Into which he pour ed, unceasing streams of money. t In the spring of the year the Great Panto came on. The first warning wag when the banks began calling In their unprotected loans. Daylight promptly paid the first of several of his personal notes that were present ed; then be divined that these de mands but indicated the way the wind was going to blow, and that one of those terrific financial storms he had heard about was soon to sweep over the United States. How .terrific this particular storm was to be be did not anticipate. Nevertheless, he took every precaution , in ; his power and had no anxiety about his weather ing It out ' : And In the end, when early summer was on. everything began to mend. Came a day when Daylight did the un precedented. He left the office an hour earlier than usual, and for the reason that tor the first time since the panto there was not an item of work waiting to be done.- He dropped Into Hegan's private office, before leaving, for a chat, and as he stood up to go, he said: ;. v:';:"'::i-; "Hegan, we're all hunkadory. We're pulling; out of the) financial pawnshop In fine shape, and, well get out with out leaving one an redeemed pledge behind. The worst it over, and the end is in sight Just tight rein for couple more weeks, just a bit of a pinch or a flurry or so now and then, and we can let go and spit on our hands." ' For once he varied lis programme. Instead of going directly to his hotel, he started on aground of the bars and cafes, drinking a cocjctail here and a cocktail there, and two or three when be encountered men he knew. It was after an hour or so of this that be dropped Into the bar of the Parthenon for one last drink before going to din ner. Ey this time all his being was r' ta.i)t:y warmed by the alcohol, and l a v n in t!.-e most genial and best of f x At C;a corner of the bar sev eral r-"r I mn were S to the old t i t ? t' "'r elbows and at f - . vi r ' r's tands ? y ? him, in answer to his query. "He's the heavy-hammer thrower at the U. a Broke all records this year, and the world's record on top of It He's a husky all right all right" Daylight nodded and went over to him, placing his own arm in opposi tion. "I'd like to go you a flutter, son, on that proposition," he said. The young man laughed and locked hands with him; and to Daylight's as tonishment It was his own hand that was forced down on the bar. "Hold on." he muttered. "Just one more flutter. I reckon I wasn't Just ready that time." Again the hands locked. It happen ed quickly. The offensive attack of Daylight's muscles slipped Instantly into defence, and, resisting vainly, his band was forced over and down. Day light was dazed. It had been no trick. The skill was equal, or. If anything, the superior skill bad been bis. Strength, sheer strength, had done it He called for the drinks, and. still dazed and pondering, held up his own arm and looked at It as at some new strange thing. He did not know this arm. It certainly was not the arm be had carried around with him all the years. The old armT Why, It would have been play to turn down that young husky's. But this arm he con tinued to look at It with such dubious perplexity as to bring a roar of laugh ter from the young men. This laughter aroused him. He Joined In it at first and then his face slowly grew grave. He leaned to ward the hammer-thrower. "Son," he said, "let me whisper a secret Get out of here and quit drinking before you begin. The young fellow flushed angrily, but Daylight held steadily on. "You listen to your dad, and let "We're Pulling Out of the Financial Pawnshop In Fine Shape." him say a tew. Tm a young man my self, only I ain't Let me tell you. several years ago for me to turn your hand down would have been like com mitting assault and battery on a kin dergarten." Slosson looked his incredulity, while the ' others, grinned and clustered around Daylight encouragingly. "Son. t ain't given to preaching. This is the first time 1 ever come to the penitent form, and you put me there yourself hard. I've seen a few In my time, and I alnt fastidious so as you can notice it But let me tell you right now that I'm worth the devil' alone knows how many millions, and that I'd sure give It all, right here on the bar, to turn down your hand. Which means rd give the whole shoot ing match Just to be back where I was before I quit sleeping under the stars and come Into the hen-coops of cities to drink cocktails and lift up my feet and ride. Son, that's what's the matter with me. and that's the way I feel about it ; The game ain't worth the candle. Ton Just take care of your self, and roll my advice over once In a while. Good night" He turned and lurched out of the place, the moral effect of his, utter ance largely spoiled by the tact that be was so patently full while he ut tered it Still in a daze. Daylight made to his hotel, accomplished his dinner, and prepared for bed. "The damned young whlppersnap- r r!" be muttered. "Put my band The hand that had made the Circle City giants wince! And a kid from college, with a laugh on his face, had put it down wt eel Dede was right He was not the same man, ' The situa tion would bear more serious looking Into than be had ever given It But this was not the time. In the morn ing, after a good sleep, be would give it consideration. CHAPTER XIX. Daylight awoke with the familiar parched mouth and lips and throat took a long drink of water from the pitcher beside his bed. and gathered up the train of thought where be had left It the night before. He reviewed the easement of the financial strain. Things were mending at last. While the going was still rough, the greatest dangers were already past His mind moved on to the incident at the corner of the bar of the Par thenon, when the young athlete had turned his hand down. He was no longer stunned by the event but he was shocked and grieved, as only a strong man can be, at this passing of his strength. He had always looked upon this strength of his as perman ent and here, for years, it had been steadily oozing from him. As be bad diagnosed It he had come In from un der the stars to roost in the coops of cities. He bad almost forgotten how to walk. He had lifted up his feet and been ridden around in automo biles, cabs and carriages, and elect rio cars. He had not exercised, and be had dry-rotted his muscles with alco hol And was it worth itT What did all his money meat) after all T Dede was right It could buy him no more than one bed at a time, and at the same time It bad made him the abject est of slaves. It tied him fast Which was better? be asked himself. All this was Dede's own thought It was what rhe had meant when she prayed he would go broke. He held up his offending right arm. It wasn't the same old arm. Of course she could not love that arm and that body as she had loved the strong, clean arm and body of years before. He didn't like that arm and body himself. . A young whlppersnapper had been able to take liberties with it It had gone back on him. He sat up suddenly. No. he had gone back on it! He had gone back on himself. He had gone back on Dede. She was right, a thou sand times right and she had sense enough to know It sense enough to New Use for Plan la Put Forward to Utilize of the Sixty Per Cent. V .; Waste Time, v The American school plant Is valued at more than $1,000,000,000. and as used for school purposes alone utilises but thirty-nine per cent of the time which could be given to the needs ot the oommunlty. This, according to the National Magazine, represents a total loss of school plants to the country of more than $30,000,000 every yar. An active movement is now taking place to turn school property during the summer months into children's playgrounds and places of amusement and to make them the center of recre ation, of political and social life, the same as In country places, where they serve many purposes, oftentimes even for church services.

He got out of bed and looked at himself In the long mirror n th wardrobe door. He wasnt pretty. The old-time lean cheeks were gone. These were heavy, seeming to bang down by His Arms Went Out and Around Her. their own weight He looked for the lines of cruelty Dede bad spoken of, and he found them, and he found the harshness In the eyes as well, the eyes that were muddy now after all the cocktails of the night before, and of the months and years before. He looked at the clearly defined pouches that showed under his eyes, and they shocked him. He rolled up the sleeve of his pajamas. No wonder the hammer-thrower had put his hand down. Those weren't muscles. A rising tide of fat had submerged them. He stripped off the pajama coat Again he was shocked, this time by the bulk of bis body.- It wasn't pretty. The lean stomach had become a paunch. The rigid muscles of chest and shoul ders and abdomen bad broken down into rolls of flesh. And this was sge. Then there drifted across the field of vision of his mind's eye the old man be had encountered at Glen Ellen, coming up the hillside through the fires of sunset ' white-beaded and white-bearded, eighty-four, in his hand the pall of foaming milk and in bis face all the warm glow and content of the passing summer day. That had been age. "Yes slree, eighty-four, and spryer than most," he could hear the old man say. ; -v - Next be remembered Ferguson, the little man who had scuttled Into the road like a rabbit the one-time man aging editor of a great newspaper, who was contept to live In the chapar ral along with his spring of mountain water and his hand-reared and mani cured fruit trees. Ferguson had solved a problem. A weakling and an alco holic, he bad run away from the doe tors and the chicken-coop ot a elty, and soaked up health like a thirsty sponge. He sat down suddenly on the bed, startled by the greatness of the idea that had come to him. He did not sit long. His mind, working in its customary way, like a steel trap, can vassed the Idea In ail its bearings. It wss big bigger than anything be bad faced before. And be faced it square ly, picked it up; In his two hands and turned it over and around and looked at It The simplicity of It delighted him. He chuckled over it reached bis decision, and began to dress. Midway in the dressing be stopped In order to use the telephone. .. ' Dede was the first be called up. , "Don't come to the office this morn ing," he said. "I'm coming out to see you for a moment" ; He called up others. He ordered bis motor-car. To Jones he gave in structions for the forwarding of Bob and Wolf to Glen Ellen. Hegan be surprised by asking him to look up the deed of the Glen Ellen ranch and make out a new one In Dede Mason's name. "Who!" Hegan demanded. "Dede Mason." Daylight replied ... tin perturbably "the 'phone must be In distinct this morning. D-e-d-e M-a-s-on. Got nr ' Half an hour later he was flying out to Berkeley. And for the first time the big red car halted directly before the house, . : Dede offered to receive him in the parlor, but he shook bis head and nodded toward her rooms. "In there," he said. "No other place would suit"..:?" .''',' ' ' As the door closed,' his arms went out and around her.

Its spacious lobby, its wide cor ridors, Its commodious rooms,' Its luxurious furnishings and Its air of aristocracy have been enjoyed and commented on by men and women from all nations. The Southern hotel was rebuilt on the site of the original Southern ho tel, erected In 1865. Before the old building was de stroyed by fire the night of April It 1877, It was the most pretentious cara vansary here. It sheltered many not ables. It was there, In the MrlylOs, that the Grand Duke Alexis wss enter tained when he visited America as the royal represntative of the Rus sian government . While the Southern was sheltering the grand duke it was also affording a temporary borne for Lydia Thomp son and a bevy of her famed English blondes, who had created a sensation In America after, making a conquest of the old world. Lydia and her cohorts were disport ing themselves at the Olympic, then, as now. Just across the street A grand banquet was spread by the grand duke's orders,' and after feed ing the blondes Alexis decorated the fair Lydia with a regal bracelet that was the talk of the town. .
