He makes large Investments and gets into th? political ring. For a rest he goes to the country. Daylight gets deeper into high finance in San Francisco, but often the longing for the simple life nearly over comes him. 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 '""J ???" opuotiul fnr lauu, ua? 1115 uccu mjhw ??? i?w?vw speeding, the third time, however, on | the Haywards stretch, running away with their captor. Fearing that a tele phone message to arrest them had been flashed ahead, they had turned Into the back-road through th6 hills, and now, rushing in upon Oakland by a new route, were boisterously dis cussing what disposition they should make of the constable. "Well come out at Blair Park tn ten minutes." one of the men an nounced. "Look here. Swiftwater, there's a. cross-road right ahead, with lots of gates, but it'll take us back country Into Berkeley. Then we can come back Into Oakland from the oth er side, sneak across on the ferry, and send the machine back around , todght with the chauffeur." But Swiftwater Bill failed to see } why he should not go into Oakland j by way of Blair Park, and so decided, j The next moment, flying around a bend, the back-road they were not , going to take appeared. Inside the , gate, leaning out from her saddle and | just closing it. was a young woman on i a chestnut sorrel. With his first glimpse. Daylight felt there was some thing strangely familiar about ber. , The next moment, straightening up In , the saddle with a movement lie could not fall to Identify, she put the horse ( / Into a gallop, riding away with tier ] back toward tbem. It was Dede Ma- , son?he remembered what Morrison j L-J A-1-1 Ul? - 1 * a mlA naa ujiu uim auuui uei ncepiug aim ing horse, and be was glad she bad ( not seen him In this riotous company. ( Intervening trees at that moment , Bhut her from view, and Swlftwater Bill plunged into the problem of dis- ( posing of their constable, while Day r^^t, leaning back with closed eyes, J ^ still seeing Dede Mason gallop off , tIR the country road. I* <7h Mtohday morning, coming in for , dictation, he looked at ber 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- , lng through the Piedmont hills. He made a long day of It. but 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 sbe 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 tbe 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. Bobs 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 horses hair lie had ever seen. Also, its color was unusual in that it was almost auburn. While fcs 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 Knglish saddle, mind. Give me a good Mexican and a curb bit?not too severe, seeing as ue likes to rear." Daylight superintended the prepara tions, adjusting the curb 6trap 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 j dispatched across the bay forthwith to take up his quarters in the stables oi me uasiana itiuiug auucui/. 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 be 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 6orrel. 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. hod wnirieu abruptly and with lightning swiftness, pivoting on his hind legs, his fore legs just lifted clear of the ground. Day light kept his seat, but, beyond a fu tile rein across the neck, did nothing to prevent the evolution. "Well, Bob," he addressed the ani mal, at the same time wiping the sweat from his own eyes, "I'm free to confess that you're sure the blaraed est all-flred quickest creature 1 ever saw. I guess the way to fix you is to keep the spur just a-touchii^?'ah! you brute!" i For, the moment the spur toucned him. his left hind leg had reached for ward in a kick that struck the stir rup a smart blow. Several times, out of curiosity. Daylight, attempted the spur, and each time Bob's hoof landed the stirrup. Then Daylight, following the horse's example of the unexpected, suddenly drove both spurs into him and reached him underneath with the quirt. "You ain't never had a real licking before," he muttered, as Bob, thus rudely jerked out of the circle of his own Impish mental processes, shot ahead. ' ' Half a dozen times spurs and quirt bit into blm. and then Daylight settled down to enjoy the magnificent gallop. No longer punished, at the end of a half mile Bob eased down Into a fast canter. Wolf, tolling the rear, was catching up, and everything was going nicely. And when, at last, Daylight decided that the horse had had enough, be turned him around abrupt ly and put him Into a gentle canter on the forward track. After a time, he reined In to a stop to 6ee If he were breathing painfully. {Standing Por^i minute. Bob turned his head and nuzzled 'his rider's stirrup in a roguish, impatient way, as much as to Intimate that it was time they were going on. "Well, I'll be plumb gosh darned!" was Daylight's comment "No ill-will, no cmdce. no nothine?and after that lambasting! You're sure a hummer, Bob." He had taken a liking to the animal and repented not of his bargain. He realized that Bob was not vicious nor mean, the trouble being that he was bursting with high spirits and was en dowed with more than the average horse's intelligence. It was the spirits and the intelligence, combined with Inordinate roguishness, that made him what he was. What was required to control him was a strong hand, with tempered sternness and yet with the requisite touch of brutal dominance. Throughout the week Daylight found himself almost as much Interested In Bob as in Dede: and, not being in the thick of any big deals, he was prob ably more Interested In both of them than in the business game. Bob's trick of whirling was of special mo ment to him. How to overcome it? that was the -thing. Suppose he did meet with Dede out in the hifls; and suppose by some lucky stroke of fate, be should manage to be riding along side of her; then that whirl of Bob's would be most disconcerting and em barrasslng. He was not particular^ 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 double quirt New York Ha Western Visitor Wears Out His Pock et Edges Digging Down After the Money. The man from the west was In a L'lUlUlilg cuipuiiuiu 1U [fiuaunu; >v lecting a pair of trousers. "By heck," he said as he pawed over the pile before bim. "this here town of New York is tho beatin est place on pants I ever got up against Out in my town any hand-me-down pants I buy are good for a year, start ing in with Sundays for the first three months and week days for the rest of the time.

The cloth was entirely worn off the edges and the white showed iike a line of surf. "How did that happen?" Inquired the clerk, surprised, but sympathetic. "This town did it, that's what.

The borse ] 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 $sk her the simple question whether or not' she was going riding next Sunday. Thus he found another card in the band the mad god had dealt him. How im portant that card was to become be 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 spirited, prancing order, but other wise he was a lamb. But no Dede did Daylight encounter. He vainly circled about among the hill roads. $nd tn the afternoon took the steep grade over the divide of the second range and dropped Into Maraga Valley. Just after nassine the foot of the descent. he heard the hoof beats of a cantering hors? It was from ahead and coming toward him. What If ft were Dede? I 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 orer hts shoulder. It was Dede. The 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 him; 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 excnangea; nere tbey were side by side and going in the same direction with miles and miles ahead of them. He noted that her eye. was first for the horse and next for him. "Oh. what a beauty?" she hsd cried at sight of Bob. From the shining light in her eyes, and the face filled with delight, be would scarcely have believed that it belonged to the young woman he had known Jn the office, the young woman with the controlled, subdued office face. "I didn't know you rode," was one of her first remarks. "I imagined you were wedded to get-there-quick machines." Thus, and to his great relief, they launched on a topic of mutual inter rd on Trousers * pockets bo d? frequent for money since I've been In New York that I've wore the edges o?f till they don't look as If 1 had a cent to ray name Every where I go, everything I do. every body I meet calls for the stuff, and I've got to answer.

"Never till two weeks ago, and I'm getting out of it day after tomorrow." "I'm sorry," said the clerk. "I'd like to sell you another pair of trousers, soon." Expensive Instruction. "Experience," said the ready-made philosopher. "Is the best teacher."

"I really can't remember the ttrst time 1 was on a horse." she told htm'. "I was born on a ranch, you know, and" they couldn't keep me away from the hnrnpa." And thereat she told him more of i her ranch lffe in the days before her , father died. And Daylight was hugely pteased with himself. They wer'e get | tfng acquainted. The conversation j had not lagged hj the fnl) half hour they had been together.

But he had to confess that the sight looked good to him just the same. CHAPTER XfV. Another Sunday man and borse and I dog roTed tbe Piedmont hills. And again Daylfght and Dede rode togeth er. But this time ber 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 hfm. and he. remembering that he had sefen 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. So several hours he spent in her company, in which she was much the same girl as before, natural, unaffect ed, light-hearted, smiling and laud ing, a good fellow, talking horses with unflagging entnusiasm, matting ineuu.i i with the crusty-tempered Wolf, and expressing a desire to ride Bob. whom j she declared she waB more in love with i than ever.

Tho fun 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 hira back the way he had come and almost as swiftly.
