Then 1 sell the land and get that value back, and after that, there's the roads, all carrying folks back and forth and earning big money. Can't lose.

It's shallow wa ter. 1 can fill and dredge and put In a system of docks that will handle hundreds of ships. San Francisco's water front Is congested. No more room for ships. With hundreds of ships loading and unloading on this side right into the freight cars of three big railroads, factories will start up over here instead of crossing to San Francisco. That means factory sites. That means me buying in the factory sites before any bod? guesses the cat is going to jump, much less, which way. Factories mean tens of thousands of workingmen and their families. That means more houses and more land, and that means me, for 111 be there to sell them the land. Then there's the water. I'll come pretty close to owning the watershed. Why not the waterworks too? There's two water companies in Oakland now. fighting like cats and dogs and both about broke.

The big ger the crowd that herds In one place, the more valuable Is the real estate. And this 1s the very place for a crowd to herd. Look at It Just look at It! You could never find a finer site for a great city. All it needs Is the herd, and I'll stampede a couple of hundred thousand people In here inside two years. And what's more. It won't be one of these wildcat land booms. It will be legitimate. Twenty years from now there'll be a million people on this side the bay. Another thing is hotels. There isn't a decent one in the town. I'll build a couple of up-to date ones that'll make them sit up and take notice. I won't care if they don't pay for years. Their effect will more _ ~l ~ U 1. iua.ii fcivt; mc luj uivuxsj uav.n uui kjl the other holdings. And, oh, yes, I'm going to plant eucalyptus, millions of them, on these hills." "But how are you going to do It?" Dede asked. "You haven't enough money for all that you've planned." "I've thirty million, and if I need more I can borrow on the land and other things. Interest on mortgages won't anywhere near eat up the in crease in land values, and I'll be sell ing land right along." In the weeks that followed, Day light was a busy man. It meant quick work on a colossal scale, for Oakland and the adjacent country was not slow to feel the tremendous buying. But Daylight had the ready cash and It had always been his policy to strike nninklv. Before the others; could get the warning of the boom, he quietly accomplished many things. At the same time that his agents were purchasing corner lots and entire blocks in the heart of the business section and the waste lands for fac tory sites, Daylight was rushing fran chises through the city council, cap turing the two exhausted water com panies and the eight or nine Inde pendent street railways, and getting his grip on the Oakland Creek and the bay tide-lands for his dock suctem The tide-lands had been in litigation for years, and he took the bull by the horns?buying out the private owners and at the same time leasing from the city fathers. By the time that Oak land was aroused by this unprecedent ed activity in every direction and was questioning excitedly the meaning ol It. Daylight secretly bought the chle! Republican newspaper and the chief Democratic organ, and moved boldly Into his new offices. Of necessity, they were on a large scale, occupying four floors of the only modern office build Ing in the town?the only building that wouldn't be torn down later on as Daylight put it There was de partment arier aepariraeui, a ?i;uio v.* them, and hundreds of clerks and Stenographers. As he told Dede: ? "I've got more companies than you can shake a stick It. There's the Ala meda & Contra Costa Land Syndicate, the Consolidated Street Railways, the Yerba Buena Ferry Company, the United Water Company, the Pied mont Realty Company, the Fairvlew and Portola Hotel Company, and half a dozen more that I've got to refer to a notebook to remember. There's the Piedmont Laundry Farm, and Red wood Consolidated Quarries. Starting in with our quarry, I Just kept a-golng till I got them alL And there's the ship-building company I ain't got a name for yet Seeing as I had to have ferry-boats. I decided to build them myself. They'll be done by the time the pier Is ready for them." For months Daylight was buried In worjj. The outlay was terrific, and there was nothing coming in. Beyond a general rise in iana vaiues, utuuauu had not acknowledged his Irruption on the financial scene. The city was waiting for him to show what he was going to do. and he lost no time about It The best skilled brains op the market were hired by him for the dif ferent branches of the work. Initial mistakes he had no patience with, and he was determined to start right, as when he engaged Wilkinson, almost doubling his big salary, and brought IT Night ana aay me ruau gaugs on the streets. And night and day pile-drivers hammered the big piles down ipto the mud of San Francisco Bay. The pier was to be three miles long, and the Berkeley hills were de nuded of whole groves of mature eucalyptus for the piling. At the same time that his electric roads were building out through the hills, the hay-fields were being sur veyed and broken up into city squares, with here and there, according to best modern methods, winding boulevards and strips of park. Broad streets, well graded, were made, with sewers and water-pipes ready laid, and ma cadamized from his own quarries. Ce ment sidewalks were also laid, so that all the purchaser had to do was to select his lot and architect and start building. The quick service of Day light's new electric roads into Oak land made this big district immediate ly accessible, and long before the fer ry system was in operation hundreds of residences were going up. The profit on this land was enormous. In a day. his on-slaught of wealth had turned open farming country into one of the best residential districts of the city. But this money that flowed In upon him was immediately poured back into his other investments. The need for electric cars was 60 great that he installed his own shops for building them. But no matter what pressure was on Daylight, his Sundays he re served for his riding in the hills. It was not the rainy winter weather, however, that brought these rides with I)ede to an end. One Saturday afternoon in the office she told him not to expect to meet her next day, ind, when he pressed for an explana tion.? "I've sold Mab." Daylight was speechless for the mo nent. Her act meant one of so many orious things that he couldn't classi y it. It smacked almost of treachery. r (Copyright. 1910, by the New York Herald (Copyright, 1910, by the MacMlllan Cor She might have met with financial dls-1 aster. It might be her way of letting 1 him know she had seen enough of him. Or . . . "What's the matter?" he managed to ask. "I couldn't afford to keep her with hay lorty-flve dollars a ton," Dede answered. "My brother's expenses have been higher, as well, and 1 was driven to the conclusion that since I could not afford both, I'd better let the mare go and keep the brother." WVin Krtncrht bar?" hfl asked. Dede's eyes flashed in the way long since familiar to him when she was angry. "Don't you dare buy her back for me," she cried. "And don't deny that that was what you had in mind." "I wish you would reconsider, Miss Mason," he said softly. "Not alone for the mare's sake, but for my sake. Money don't cut any ice in this. For me to buy that mare wouldn't mean as much as it does to most men to 6end a bouquet of flowers or a box of candy to a young lady. There's no body I feel chummy with except you, and you know how little we've chum med?once a week, if it didn't rain, on Sunday. I've grown kind of to de pend on you. If you'd Just let me buy her back?" * "No, no; I tell you no." Dede arose impatiently, dui ner eyes were muiei i with the momery of her pet "Please don't mention her to me again. If you think It was easy to p_art with her, you are mistaken. But I've se^h the last of her, and* I want to forget her." Daylight made no answer, and the door closed behind her. " . Me Buy Her Back." Half an hour later he was con ferring with Jones, an erstwhile ele ator boy and rabid proletarian whom Daylight long before had grubstaked to literature for a year. The result ing novel had been a failure. Editors and publishers would not look at It. and Daylight was now using the dis gruntled author In a little private secret service system he had been compelled to establish for himself. Jones, who affected to be surprised at nothing after his crushing experience, betrayed no surprise now when the task was given him to locate the pur chaser of a certain sorrel mare. "How high shall I pay for her?" he asked. "Any price. You've got to get her, House Witl Pittsburg Man Plans New Residence Embodying Some Very Unique Features. The new residence which is being built on the Clearview plan at Mount Lebanons Pittsburg, for A. G. Smitn of Pittsburgh, has some features whlcn are unique and probably not embodied in any other residence in this section. The House is wunoui siairwajs ui steps, the slope idea having been sub stituted. The grade of this slope is about ten per cent. Entering from the veranda to the large reception hall one's attention is directly drawn to the unique method employed of reach ing the upper floor. In the living room, which is probably 20x35 foet, ti large concrete fireplace and mantel is the principal feature, with a wide bay window. There arc no corners to the house, as each of the four ends of the residence are of the bay type. The only wood used in the construc tion of the building is to be found in the door sills, windows and floors, the latter of which will be hardwood. The walls of the building are of cement, finished with white cement trimmings.

But the week had not passed, when Daylight noted the flash in Dede's eyes that boded trouble. "Something's gone wrong?what la It?" he said boldly. "Mab," she said. "The maD who bought her has sold her already. If i I thought you had anything to do with | it?" "I don't even know who you sold j her to," was Daylight's answer. "And what's more, I'm not bothering my head about her. She was your mare, and it's none of my business what you did with her. You haven't got Lir, that's sure, and worse luck. And now, while we're on to>;chy subjects, I'm going to open another- one with you. And you needn't get touchy about It, for It's not really your busi ness at all. It'p ..oout that brother of yours.

"Only it isn't, and you know Lt Isn't I can't accept money from you?" "Now . look here, Miss Mason. You've got to .get some foolish no- ' tlons out of your head.

He's a man. and I can J deal with him better without women j folks around. I'll go over tomorrow < afternoon." ~ CHAPTER XVII. For six weeks hand-running Day light had seen nothing of Dede ex cept in the office, and there he reso? lutely refrained from making ap proaches. But by the seventh Sunday his hunger for her overmastered him. ! It was a'stormy day. A heavy south- j east gale was blowing, and squall aft er squall of rain and wind swept over ; the city. He could not take his mind j off of her. and a persistent picture came to him of her sitting by a win- : dow and sewing feminine fripperies of some sort.

"I Just wanted to tell you that I'm j coming out to see you," he said. 1 : didn't want to break in on you with- | out warning, that was all." "Has something happened?" came her voice. "I'll tell you when I get there," he evaded. She came herself to the door to receive him and shake hands with him. He hung his mackintosh and j hat on the rack in the comfortable hall and turned to her for direction. "They are busy in there," she said, indicating the parlor, from which , came the boisterous voices of young I people, and through the open door of which he could see several college youths.

The circular, based upon ex- : periments made at Batesburg, is pre- I pared by E. A. McGregor, a govern j ment scientist, who is now making ' investigations in the "ridge section"# under direction of W. D. Hunter of tie United States bureafi of entomology, who is in charge of Southern field Investigations. The minute, reddish, slpnning mite was first noticed in Batesburg ca June 1, 1911, and in a month's time had increased so enormously that the effect upon cotton in certain places was most alarming. The governme^'. thereupon, made Batesburg one' of its fields of investigation and has ever since had scientists at work on j th3 red spider. The circular by Mr. McGregor con- i tains a history of the tiny pest, a de J tailed description of him and of hie habits, a list of the plants upon which ! he is found to live out his injurious little life, and the directions for guarding against him and for destroy ing him?a list of remedial measuree which will doubtless be found of great practical value to farm en. It is, however, not the farmers alone who are interested in or affect ed by the activities of t>e red spider, j for it is not the field plants alone upon which he is found. A number of native and cultivated plants, prom 1 inent among them the violet, are quite attractive to the *"cotton mites.". Ai.num?nfa Iri Imnortant Case.
