In no blaze of glory did Burning Daylight descend upon San Francisco. Not only had he been forgotten, but the Klondike along with him. The world was interested in other things, and the Alaskan adventure, like the Spanish War, was an old story. He settled down fti St. Francis Hotel, was interviewed by the cub-reporters on the hotel-run, and received brief para- ' graphs of notice for twenty r four hours. } Several months passed in San Fran- I cisco, during which time he studied j the game and its rules, and prepared himself to take a hand. Tiring of being merely an onlooker, he ran up to Nevada, where the new gold-mining boom was fairly started— ; “just to try a flutter,” as he phrhsed it to himself. The flutter on the To- ■ nopah Stock Exchange lasted just ten days, during which time his smash- • ing, wild-bull game played ducks and drakes with the more stereotyped gamblers, and at the end of which | tim.e, having gambled Floridel into • his fist, he let go for a net profit of half a million. Whereupon, smacking his lips, he departed for San Francisco and the St. Francis Hotel. It tasted good, and his hunger for the game became more acute. And once more the papers sensationalized him. BURNING DAYLIGHT was a big-letter headline again. In- \ terviewers flocked about him. Old

files of magazines and newspapers were searched through, and the romantic and historic Elam Harnish, Adventurer of the Frost, King of the Klondike, and Father of the Sourdoughs, strode upon the breakfast table of a million homes along with the toast and breakfast foods. Even before his elected time, he was forcibly launched into the game. Financiers and promoters, and all the flotsam and jetsam of the sea of speculation surged upon the shores of his eleven millions. In self-defence he was compelled to open offices. He dabbled in, little things at first—“stalling for time,” as he explained to Holdsworthy, a friend he had made at the Alta-Pacific Club. Daylight himself was a member of the club, and Holdsworthy had proposed him. And it was • well that Daylight played closely at first, for he was astounded by the multitudes of sharks—“ground-sharks,” he called them—that flocked about him. He saw through their schemes readily enough, and even marveled that such numbers of them could find sufficient prey to keep them going. Their rascality and general dubiousness was so transparent that he could not understand how any one could be taken in by them. So it was that he resolved to leave the little men, the Holdsworthys, alone; and, while he met them in good fellowship, he chummed with none, and formed no deep friendships. He did not dislike the little men, the men of the Alta-Pacific, for instance. He merely did not elect to choose them for partners in the big game in which he intended to play. What this big gamp was, even he did not know. He was waiting to find it. And in the meantime he played small hands, in- - vesting in several arid-lands reclamation projects and keeping his eves open for the big chance when it should come along.

And then he met John Dowsett, the great John Dowsett. It was the first big magnate Daylight had met face to face, and he was pleased and charmed. There was such a kindly humanness about the man, such a genial democraticness, that Daylight found it hard to realize that this was the John Dowsett, president of a string of banks. Insurance manipulator, reputed ally of the lieutenants of Standard Oil, and known ally of the Guggenhammers. Nor did his looks belle his reputation and his manner. Physically, he guaranteed all that Daylight knew of him. Despite his sixty years and snowwhite hair, his hand-shake was firmly hearty, and he showed no signs ot decrepitude, walking with a quick, snappy step, making all movements definitely and decisively. 1

It was not long afterward that Daylight came on to New York. A letter from John Dowsett had been the cause —a simple little typewritten letter of several lines. But Daylight had thrilled as he read it. The bald sentences seemed gorged with mystery. “Our Mr. Howison will call up- ' on you at yous hotel. He* is to be trusted. We must not be seen together. You will understand after we have had our talk." Daylight conned the words over and over. That was it. The big game had arrived, and it looked as if he were being invited to sit in and take a hand. Surely, for no other reason would one man so peremptorily invite another man to make a Journey across the continent. They met —thanks to “our” Mr. Howison—up the Hudson, in a magnificent country home. Daylight, according to , instructions, arrived in a private motor car which had been furnished him. Dowsett was already and another man whom DayUebt recoenizeu before the introduc-

ton, and none other. Daylight had seen his face a score of times in the magazines and newspapers, and read about his standing in the financial wvorld, and about his endowed University of , mIMW cf/vfer-

i“l Must Say, Mr. Harnish, That You Whipped Us Roundly in That Affair.” Daratona. He, likewise, struck Daylight as a man of power, though he was puzzled in that he could find no likeness to Dow sett. Except in the matter of cleanness —a cleanness that seemed to go down to the deepest fibers of him—Nathaniel Letton was Unlike the other in every particular. Thin to emaciation, he seemed a cold flame of a man. Not more than fifty, thatched with a sparse growth of irongray hair, he locked several times the age of Dowsett. They drank —that is, Nathaniel Letton took mineral water served by the smoothly operating machine of a lackey who inhabited the place, while Dowsett took Scotch and soda and Daylight a cocktail. Leon -Guggenhammer arrived in the midst of the drink, and ordered Scotch. Daylight studied him curiously. This was one of the great Guggenhammer family; a younger one, but nevertheless one Of the crowd with which he had locked “grapples in the North. Nor did Leon Guggenhammer fail to mention cognizance of that old affair. He complimented Daylight On his prowess—“ The echoes of Ophir came down to us, you know. And I must say, Mr. Daylight —er, Mb. Harnish, that you whipped us roundly in that affair.” Leon Guggenhammer was young and fat. Not a day more than thirty, his face, save for the adumbated puff sacks under the eyes, was as smooth and lineless as a boy’s. The talk soon centered down to business. Dowsett broached the plan, aided by an occasional remark from the other two, while Daylight asked questions. Whatever the proposition was, he was going into it with his eyes open. And they filled his eyes with the practical vision of what he had in mind.

“They will never dream you are with us,” Guggenhammer interjected, as the outlining of the matter drew to a close, his handsome Jewish eyes flashing enthusiastically. “They’ll think you are raiding on your own in proper buccaneer style.” “Of course, you understand, Mr. Harnish, the absolute need for keeping our alliance in the dark,” Nathaniel Letton warned, gravely. Daylight nodded his head. “And you also understand,” Letton went on, “that the result can only be productive of good. The thing is legitimate and right, and the only ones v.ho may be hurt are the stock gamblers themselves. It is not an attempt Co smash the market. As you see yourself, you are to bull the market. The honest investor will be the gainer.”

“Yes, that’s the very thing,’’ Dowsett said. “The commercial need for copper is continually increasing. Ward Valley Corper, and all that it stands so one-quarter of the world’s supply, as I have shown you—is a big thing, how bjg, even we can scarcely estimate. Our arrangements are made. We have plenty of capital ourselves, and yet we want more. Also, there is too much Ward Valley out to suit our present plans. Thus we kill both birds with one stone. Not only will you bull Ward Valley, but you will at the same time gather Ward Valley in. This will be of inestimable advantage to us, while you and all of us will profit by it as well. And as Mr, Letton has pointed out, the thing is legitimate and square; On the eighteenth the directors meet, and, instead of the customary dividend, a double dividend will be de* dared.”

“There will be all sorts u rumors on the street,” Dowsett warned Daylight, “but do not let them frighten you., These rumors may even originate with us. You can see how and why clearly. But rumors are to no concern of yours. You are 'n the

Inside. All you have to do is buy, buy, bdy, and keep cn buying to the last stroke, when the directors declare the double Valley will jump so that it won’t be feasible to buy after that.” “And one other thing, Mr. Harnish,” Guggenhammer said, “if you exceed your available cash, or the amount you care to invest in the venture, don’t fail immediately to call on us. Remember, we are behind you." [ *’Yes, we are behind you,” Dowsett repeated. Nathaniel Letton nodded his head in affirmation. (To be Continued.)

Atlanta Constitution:—Bill Arp. (he “Southern Philosopher.” wrote the following review of “The Diving Finn of the Ages” some time before he died: “it is impossible to read this book without loving the writer and pounding his wonderful solution of the great mysteries that have troubled us all our lives. There is hardly a family to be fouud that has not lost some loved oue who died outside the church—outside the plan of salvation, and. if Calvinism be true, outside of all Hope and inside 0)f eternal torment and despair. We smother our feelings and turn away from the horrible picture. We dare not deny the faith of our fathers, and yet can it be possible that the good mother and the wandering child are forever separated?—forever and forever V “I believe it is the rigidity of those teachings that makes atheists and infidels and skeptics—makes Christians unhappy and brings their gray hairs down in sorrow to the grave—a lost child, a lost soul: * *

"This wonderful book makes uo assertions that are not well sustained by the Scriptures. It is built up stone by stone, and upon every stone is the text, and it becomes a pyramid of God’s love, and mercy, and wisdom. “There is nothing in the Bible that the author denies or doubts, but there are many texts that he throws a Hood of light upon that seems- to remove from them the dark and gloomy meaning. I see that editors of leading journals and many orthodox ministers of different denominations have endorsed It and have confessed to this new and comforting light that has dawned upon the interpretation of God’s Book. Then let every man read and ponder and take comfort, for we are all prisoners of hope. This is an age of advanced thought, and more thinking is done . than ever before—men dare to think now. Light—more light—is the watchword.” 335 pages—Cloth bound, 33 cents, postpaid. Bible and Tract Society, 17 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, N. Y.

WAYS OF CARRYING WATCH

There Seems to Be No Set Fashion, and Many Methods Are in General Use. Modern ingenuity has devised all sorts of odd places to carry the watch. It is strung around the neck as a pendant, worn as a bracelet, forms the head of a parasol handle, or is' tucked in the corner of a card case. One girl has had her tiny watch set as the lid of her vanity box, which she wears on a fob; another has a watch set as the head of one hat pin, while the other is a vanity box. A curious watch set as a seal ring for the little finger was one of the purchases brought home from Switzerland by a woman with money enough to go in for novelties. A specially handsome setting for a desk watch for a drawing room is a deep silver frame of repousse silver, the face of the frame rounded to the depth of an inch, and three Inches wide. The back of the frame Is also silver.

Very new is a writing pad and blotter with corners of heavy brocade and a tiny gilt watch set in one corner. This js more than a trinket, as the works are said to be unusually good. It Is convenient in traveling when the Besk watch is not carried. Many of the new handbags have watches set in them, sometimes in one of the inner compartments; again, on the outside in one of the lower corners. They are an undoubted convenience for shopping. Another watch is set in the side of a leather box, which contains compartments for note and address books and a smelling bottle.

DRESS NOTES

Double tunics fall over satin skirts. Black with brown is just now In great favor. Pique is one of the materials promiset| for summer wear. Graceful hats of amethyst straw are faced with violet velvet. Touches of cerise bring notes of relief into many dark gowns. Silver fringes are a favorite finish to gray chiffon over-dresses. Violet tulle veils many chemisettes of lace on afternoon gowns. Hat frames with borders of_ straw have gauzy dotted net over them. Graceful picture hats of straw are large as to crown as well as brim. Dresses of checked taffetas are sometimes veiled with gray marquisette.
