8YN0PSIS. Elam Harnlsh, known all through Alas Jka as "Burning Daylight," celebrates his JOth birthday with a crowd of miners at the Circle City Tlvoll. The dance leads to heavy gambling. In which over J100.P' Js staked. Harnlsh lr-es his money ana his mine but wins th< mall contract. He starts on his mail trip with dogs and sledge, telling his friends that he will be In the big Yukon gold strike at the start. Burning Daylight makes a sensationally Tapid run across country with the mail, appears at the Tlvoli and Is now ready to Join his friends in a da?h to the new gold fields. Deciding that gold will be found In the up-river district Harnlsh buys two tons of flour, which he declares will be worth Its weight In gold, but when he arrives with his flour he finds the big flat desolate. A comrade discov ers gold and Daylight reaps a rich har vest. He goes to Dawson, becomes the most prominent figure in the Klondike And defeats a combination of capitalists In a vast mining deal.

The deciding factor was not the hig automatic pistol, but the certitude that Daylight would use It Not alone were the three men convinced of this, "but Daylight himself was convinced. He was firmly resolved to kill the men if his money ^ as not forthcoming. It was not an easy matter, on the spur of the moment, to raise ten mil lions in paper currency, and there were vexatious delays. A dozen times Mr. Howison and the head clerk were summoned into the room. On these oc casions the pistol lay on Daylight's lap, covered carelessly by a newspaper, Wfiile he was usually engaged in roll ing or lighting his brown-paper cig R?t In thft pnd the thine was accomplished. A suit-case was brought up by one of the clerks from the wait ing motor-car, and Daylight snapped it shut on the last package of bills. He paused at the door to make his final remarks.

As the door shut behind him, Na thaniel Letton sprang for the tele-1 phone, and Dowsett Intercepted him. "What are you going to do?" Dow sett demanded. "The police. It's downright robbery. I won't stand it I tell you I won't 6tand it" Dowsett smiled grimly, but at the same time bore the slender financier back and down into his chair. "We'll talk it over," he said; and In Leon Guggenhammer he found an anxious ally. And nothing ever came of It The thing remained a secret with the three men. Nor did Davlight ever give the secret away, though that aft ernoon, leaning back in his stateroom on the Twentieth Century, his shoes off. and feet on a chair, be chuckled long and heartily. New York remained forever puzzled over the affair; nor could it hit upon a rational explana tion. By all rights, Earning Daylight should have gone broke, yet it was known that be immediately reappeared in San Francisco possessing an appar ently unimpaired capital. This was evidenced by the magnitude of the en terprises he engaged in, such as, for instance, Panama Mull, by sheer weight of money and fighting power wrestling the control away from Sheft ly and selling out in two months to the Harriraan Interests at a rumored enor oious advance. CHAPTER X. Back In San Ftancisco. Daylight quickly added to his reputation. In ways It was not an enviable reputa tion. Men were afraid of him. He be came known as a fighter, a fiend, a tiger. His play was a ripping and smashing one, and no one knew where or how his next blow would fall. The element of surprise *waa large. He balked on the unexpected, and, fresh from tiie wild North. hiB mind not op crt aULifr iu csi cicui/pcu tuauucia, uc v%8 able in unusual degree to devise TK'W tricks and stratagems. And once fie won the advantage, he pressed it remorselessly. "As relentless as a Red Indian." was said of him. and it was said truly. He was a free lance, and had no friendly business associations. Such alliances as were forcaed from time to time were purely af fairs of expediency, and he regarded his allies as men who would give him the double-cross or ruin him if a profitable chance presented. In spite of this point of view, he was faithful to his allies. But he was faithful just as long as they were and no longer. The treason had to come from them, and then it was 'Ware Daylight. The business man and financiers of the Pacific coast never forgot the les son of Charles Klinkner and the Call 6 I a s ii fi i< h fornia & Altamont Trust Company. a Kllnkner was the president In part- B nership with Daylight, the pair raided r the San Jose Interurban. The power- e ful Lake Power & Electric Lighting ? corporation came to the rescue, and t! Klinkner, seeing what he thought was f the opportunity, went over to the en- y emy in the thick of the pitched battle. ? Daylight lost three millions before he a was done with it, and before he was ti done with it he saw the California & g Altamont Trust Company hopelessly 8 wrecked, and Charles Klinkner a sui- ^ side in a felon's cell. So it was that Daylight became a h successful financier. He did not go c in for swindling the workers. Not only did he not have the heart for it, c but It did not strike him as a sporting h proposition. The workers were so b easy, so stupid. It was more like il slaughtering fat, hand-reared pbeas- v I ?? *1- - m u_u V,? hoil ? a.iiis on me inu&usii picocivco uo v. read about The sport* to him, was b in waylaying the successful robbers g and taking their spoils from them. t< The grim Yukon life had failed to d make Daylight hard.

He still had recrudescences of genial ity, but tbey were largely periodical and forced, and they were usually due to the cocktails he took prior to meal time. In the North he had drunk deeply and at Irregular Intervals; but now his drinking became systematic and disciplined. It was an unconscious development, but It was based upon physical and mental conditions. The cocktails served as an inhibition. Without reasoning or thinking about it, the strain of the office, which was essentially due to the daring and au dacity of his ventures, required check or cessation; and he fonnd, through the weeks and months, that the cock tails supplied this very thing. They Lv/uoiiiiikcu a oiwuc wait. iiu ucvct hi drank during the morning, nor In of- t< ttce hours; but the instant he left the office he proceeded to rear this wall a of alcoholic inhibition athwart his consciousness. The office became im mediately a closed affair. It ceased to exist. In the afternoon, after lunch, It lived again for one or two hours, when, leaving it, he rebuilt the wall of inhibition. Of course, there were ex- S ceptions to this; and, such was the rig or of his discipline, that if he had a dinner or a conference before him in which, in a business way, he encoun tered enemies or allies and planned or , a prosecuted campaigns, he abstained | s from drinking. But the instant the ! o business was settled, his everlasting h tall went out for a Martini, and for a h rtouble-Martini at that, in a long glass v< s;o as not to excite comment. p Into Daylight's life came Dede Ma- f son.

"Oh, yes," /Was the answer; "very luch." Another time it was a book of Veils', "The Wheels, of Chance." "What's It all about?" Daylight sked. "Oh, It's just a novel, a love-story."

Columbia.?The South Carolina it lercollegiate oratorical contest will be held at Rock Hill on April 6. It has been the custom, for many years to hold the annual meeting at Greenwood, but the executive committee has de sided to move the contest to the York county city this year.

The contest will be held in the au ditorium of Winthrop college on the evening of Friday, April 6. A base ball game between the Presbyterian college of South Carolina and Wof-: ford will be staged in the afternoon, and on Saturday it is very probably that two teams, yet to be announced, ] will engage in a doubleheader. j The various members of the asso ciation have either held, or will hold } soon, preliminaries to select their . speakers. A. H. Williams, Jr., of Lake r City will represent the University of j South Carolina. Mr. Williams won j second place in the contest last year 3 at Greenwood. The members of the 1 association are: University of South 1 Carolina, Clemson, WofTord, Presby s terian College of South Carolina, Char - leston college, Citadel, Newberry, Fur i man and Erskine.
