Elam Hsrnish, known all through Alas­ ka as "Burning Daylight," celebrates his •Otto birthday with a crowd of miners at the Circle City Tlvoli. The dance leads to heavy gambling, in which over $100,000 la staked. Harnl3h loses his money and h!a mine but wins the mail contract. He •tart3 on his mail trip with dogs and •ledge, telling his friends that he will be In the big Yukon gold strike at the start. Burning Daylight makes a sensationally rapid run across country with the mail, appears at the Tivoll and is now rea^y to 1oln his friends in a dash to the new tpold fields. Deciding that gold will be found In the up-rivar district Harnlsh buys two tons ot 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. He returns to civilisation, and, amid the bewildering complications of high finance. Daylight finds that he has been led to invest his eleven millions in a manipulated scheme. He goes'to New York, and confronting his disloyal partners with a revolver, he threatens to kill them If his money is sot returned. | CHAPTER IX.--Continued. I $ ; I fJk long session of three hour* follow­ ed. The deciding factor was not the big 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 It his money v-aa 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, while he was usudlly engaged in roll­ ing or lighting his brown-paper cig­ arette. But in the end, the thing 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. "There's three several things I sure want to tell you all. When I get out- aide this door, you-all'll be set free to act, and I just want to warn you-all about what to do. In the first place, no warrants for my arrest--savvee? This money's mine, and I ain't rob­ bed you of it. If it gets out how you gave me the double cross and how I done you back again, the laugh '11 be on you, and it'll be sure an almighty big laugh. You-all can't afford that laugh. Besides, having got back my stake that you-all robbed me of, if you arrest me aqd try to rob me a sec­ ond time I'll go gunning for you-all, and I'll sure get you. No little fraid- cat shrimps like you-all can skin Burn­ ing Daylight. If you win you lose, and there'll sure be some several unexpect­ ed funerals around this burg. JuBt look me In the eye, and you-all'll sav­ vee J mean business. Them stubs and receipts on' the table is all yourn. Good day." As the door shut behind him, Na­ thaniel Letton sprang for the tele­ 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 stand it" Dowsett smiled grimly, but at the same time bore the slender financier hack and down into bis 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 Daylight 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, he chuckled long and heartily. New York remained forever puzzled over the affair; nor coqld It hit upon a rational explana­ tion. By all rights, Burning Daylight should have gone broke, yet it was known that he Immediately reappeared In San Francisco possessing an appar­ ently unimpaired capital. This was evidenced by the magnitade of the en­ terprises he engaged in, such as. for Instance, Panama Mall, by sheer weight of money and fighting power wrestling the control away from Sheft- ly and selling out in two months to the Harrtman interests at a rumored enor­ mous advance. fornia & Altamont Trust Company. Kllnkner was the president In part­ nership with Daylight, the pair raided the San Jose Interurb&n. The power­ ful Lake Power & Electric Lighting corporation came to the rescue, and Klinkner, seeing what he thought was the opportunity, went over to the en­ emy in the thick of the pitched battle. Daylight lost threevmillions before he was done with it, and before he was done with it he saw the California & Altamont Trust Company hopelessly wrecked, and Charles Klinkner a sul- si(}e in a felon's cell. So it was that Daylight became a successful financier. He did not go in for swindling the workers. Not only did he not have the heart for it, but It did not strike him as a sporting proposition. The workers were so easy, so stupid. It was more like slaughtering fat, band-reared pheas­ ants on the English preserves he had read about. ' The sport, to him, was In waylaying the successful robbers and taking their spoils from them. The grim Yukon life had failed to make Daylight bard. It required civ­ ilization to produce this result In the fierce, savage game he now play­ ed, his habitual geniality Imper- in his mind of any Idea that she was fat And how she dressed, he bad no idea at all. He had no trained eye in such matters, nor was he interested^ He took it for. granted, in the .lack oF any Impression to the contrary, that she was dressed somehow. He knew her as "Miss Mason," and that m all, though he was aware that as a stenographer she was quick and accu­ rate. He watched her leaving one aft­ ernoon, and was aware for the first time that she was well-formed, and that her manner of dress was satis­ fying. He knew none of the details of woman's dress, and he saw none of the details of her neat shirt waist and well-cut tailor suit. He saw only the effect in a general, sketchy way. She looked right This was in the ab­ sence of anything wrong or out of the way. "She's a trim little good-looker,7 was his verdict wh« the outer officer <_oor closed on her. The next morning, dictating, he con­ cluded that he liked the way she did her hair, though for the life of him he could have given no description of it. The Impression was pleasing, that was all. She sat between him and the window, and he noted that her hair was light brown, with hint* of golden bronxe. A pale sun, shining In, touched the golden bronze Into smoul­ dering fires that .were very pleasing. He discovered that In the Intervals, when she had nothing to do, she read books and magazines, or worked on some sort of feminine fancy work.

In waya 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 was large. He balked on the unexpected, and, fresh from the wild North, his mfnd not op^ eratlng in stereotyped channels, be was able fh unusual degree to devise new tricks and stratagems And once he won the advantage, be pressed it remorselessly. "As relentless as a Red Indiaa," was said of him, and it was said truly. He was a free lance, and bad no friendly business associations. Such alliances as were formed 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 Ipng as the/ were and no longer. The treason had to come from them, and then it was 'Ware Daylight. The business men and financiers of the Pacific ocast never forgot the lea- "--o* r*h*rW.KMnkner and the Cali- The Cocktails Served as an Inhibition. ceptibly slipped away from him, as did his lazy Western drawl. He still had recrudescences of genial­ ity, but they 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 found, through the weeks and months, that the cock­ tails supplied this very thing. They constituted a stone wall. He never drank during the morning, nor In of­ fice hours; but the instant he left the office he proceeded to rear this wall pf alcoholic inhibition athwart bis 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 ceptions to this; and, such was the rig­ or of his discipline, that if he bad a dinner or a conference before him in which, fir a business way, he encoun­ tered enemies or allies and planned or prosecuted campaigns, he abstained from drinking. But the instant the business was settled, his everlasting call went out tbr a Martini, and for a double-Martini at that, in a long glass so as not to excite comment. . Into Daylight's life came Dede Ma­ son. She came rather imperceptibly. He had accepted her Impersonally along with the office furnishing, the office boy, Morrison, the chief, confi­ dential, and only clerk, and all the rest of the accessories . of a super­ man's gambling place of business. Had he been asked any time during the first months she was in his empkjy, be would have bieen unable to tell the color of her eyes. From the fact that she was a demi-blonde, there resid­ ed dimly in his subconsciousness a conceptitm that she was a brunette. Likewise he had an idea that she :/as not thin, while there w&« an absence Passing her desk. once, he picked up a volume of Kipling's poems and glanced bepuzzled through the pages. "You like reading, Miss Mason?" he said, laying the book down. "Oh, yes," was the answer; "very much." Another time it was a book of Wells', "The ^Wheels of Chance." "What's it all about?" Daylight asked. "Oh, IPs Just a novel, a love-story." She stopped, but he still stood wait­ ing, and she felt It Incumbent to go on. "It's about a little Cockney draper's assistant, who takes a vacation on his bicycle, and falls in with a young girl very much above him. £Ier moth­ er is a popular writer and all that. And the situation is very curious, and sad, too, and tragic. Would you care to read it?" "Does he get her?" Daylight de­ manded. of it He wasn "And he doesn't get her, and you've read all them pages, hundreds of them, to find that out?" Daylight muttered In amazement Miss Mason was nettled as well as amused. "But you read the mining and finan­ cial news by the hour," she re­ torted. "But I sure get something out of that It's business, and it's differ­ ent I get money out of it What do you get out of books?" "Points of view, new ideas, life." "Not wdfth a cent cash." "But life's worth more than cash," she argued. **Oh„ well," he said, with easy mas­ culine tolerance, "so long as you en­ joy it. That's what counts, I suppose; and there's no accounting for taste." Despite his own superior point of view, he had an Idea that she knew a tot, and he experienced a fleeting feeling like that of a barbarian face to face with the evidence of some tre­ mendous culture. To Daylight cul­ ture was a worthless thing, and yet somehow, he was vaguely troubled by a sense that there was more in culture than he Imagined. Again, on her desk, in passing, he noticed a book with which he was fa­ miliar. This time he did not stop, for he had recognized the cover. It was a magazine correspondent's book on the Klondike, and he knew that he and his photograph figured in it, and he knew, also, of a certain sensational chapter concerned with a woman's suicide, and with one 'To Much Day­ light" After that he <lf)l not talk with her again about books. He imagined what erroneous conclusions she had drawn from that particular chapter, and it stung him the more in that they were undeserved. He pumpefl Morri­ son. the clerk, who fiad first to vent his personal grievafcee against Miss Mason before he couVJ tell What little he knew of her. "8he comes from Siskiyou County. She's very nice to work with in the office, of course, but she's rather stuck on herself--exclusive, you know." "How do you make that out?" Day­ light' queried. "Well, she thinks too much of herself to associate with those she works with, In the office here, for in­ stance- She won't have anything to do with a fellow, you see. I've ask­ ed her out repeatedly, to the theater and the chutes and such things. But nothing doing. Says she likes plenty of sleep, and can't stay up iate,, and has to go all the way to Berkeley-- that's where she lives. But that's all hot air. She's running with the Uni­ versity boys, that's what she's doing. She needs lots of sleep, and can't go to the theater with me, but she can dance all hours with them. I've heard it pretty straight that she goes to all their hops and such things. Rather stylish and high-toned for a stenog­ rapher, I'd say. And she keeps a horse, too. She rides astride all over those hills out there. I saw her one Sunday myself. Oh, she's a high flyer, and 1 wonder how she does It Sixty-five a month don't go far. Tbea she has a sick brother, too." "Live with her people?" Daylight asked. "No; hasn't got any. They were well to do, I've heard. They must have been, or that brother or hers couldn't have gone to the University of Call fornia. Her father had a big cattle- ranch, but he got to fooling with mines or something, and went broke before he died. Her mother died long before that Her brother must cost a lot of money. He was a husky once, played football, was great on bunting and be­ ing out in the mountains and such things. He got bis accident break­ ing horses, and then rheumatism or something got Into hliri. One leg is shorter than the other, and withered up some. He has to walk on crutches. 1 saw her out with him once--cross­ ing the ferry. The doctors have been experimenting on him for years, and he's in the French Hospital now, I think." All of which side-lights on Miss Ma­ son went to Increase Daylight's inter est in her. Yet much as he desired, he failed to get acquainted with her. He had thoughts of asking her to luncheon, but his was the innate chiv­ alry of the frontiersman, and the thoughts never came to anything. He knew a self-respecting, square-dealing man was not supposed to take bis stenographer to luncheon. Such things did happen, he knew, for he heard the chaffing gossip of the club; but he did not think much of such men and felt sorry for the girls. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

'The use of convict labor In the prep­ aration of material and a federal sub­ sidy for state roads were urged by for­ mer Lieutenant Governor Lawrence Y. Sherman, before the women's state good roads convention in Chicago. "The labor would be beneficial to the morals of the convicts," he said. "It would- greatly help In the construc­ tion of good state roads. It would not come into competition with free labor. "The federal government should bear a portion of the expense of high­ way building. Steam roads were sus­ tained by land grants from the public domain. Public roads should be as­ sisted. Illinois will forever remain an agricultural community. Good roads are vital to the state." Representative Lynden Evans of Illi­ nois urged good roads advocates t< unite on the Underwood good roadi bill, now before congress. It calls fo construction of roads under three sys tems, the cost ranging from $10,000 u $30,000 per mile, the type for each lo cality to be determined by a federa commission. Other speakers were Miss Annr Nichols of the Illinois Federation o Women's clubs, and Mrs. Henry M. Dunlap of Savoy, 111. SAVED FROM Plans Are Submitted. Two sets of plans for the. proposed new waterworks system at Anna in connection with the state hospital there were presented to the state board of administration by Dabney H. Maury of Peoria, consulting engineer. One plan, that recommended by the consulting engineer, calls for a reser­ voir system, situated five miles from the hospital. It can be built at a cost of $104,305. The second plan calls for a series of wells, and will dntall a coat of $129,375. Rossini Famous as a Wit Seme of the Whimsicalities With Which the Great Composer Made Life Jollier. Rossini's witticisms bubbled forth at all times and under all circum­ stances, (ays Musical Opinion. On one occasion a gentleman called upon bim to enlist his aid in procuring for him an engagement at the opera. He was a drummer and had taken the precaution to bring his Instrument Rossini said he would hear him "play," and it was agreed that he should show off in the overture to "Semiramlde " Now, the very first bar of the over ture contained a tremolo for the drum, and when this had been per­ formed the player remarked. "Now i have a rest of 78 bar*--these, of course, I will skip." This was too good a chance to be lost "O, no," said the composer, "by all means count the 78 bars; I particularly want to hear those" Rossini's whimsical ity extended even to his birthday Having been born on February 29, in leap year, he had, of course, a birth day once In four years, and when he was seventy-two he facetiously in vlted his friends to celebrate his eighteenth birthday. The late Sir Arthur Sullivan made his acquaintance in Paris. One morn­ ing. when Sullivan called to see bim. he found him trying over a small piece of music. "What is that?' asked Sullivan. "It's my dog's birth day," replied, very seriously, "and 1 write a little piece for him every year."

Repair and construction work in mines of Illinois will be carried on dur­ ing the suspension of work pending the referendum the same as before, where regularly qualified miners are employed to do the work and where the stipulated advance of 5.26 per cent in wages, agreed upon at the Cleve­ land conference, Is paid. This agreement was reached by members of the executive board of the Illinolp district, United Mine Workers of America, who met In the state of­ fices to formulate rules governing the conduct of miners during the suspen- alon. The rules, In addition to the repair and construction work clauae, govern­ ing the miners as adopted by the exe­ cutive board, are: That such men as are required to keep the mines In condition, the en­ gineers, firemen, pumpmen and mule feeders, shall continue at work. That at this time it is deemed advis­ able to have a resumption of work at none of the mines except where they consume their own coal or where there is keen competition from non­ union mines, or where It would result in considerable loss to all concerned if the mines were shut down. In such cases where work Is resumed, th en­ dorsement of the International presi­ dent Is necessary, and the companies that are permitted to operate their mines must consent to pay whatever scale is finally agreed upon. That In the event repair or con­ struction work is done, the same should be divided so far as possible among those of the members who are capable of performing the work. Examination Date Changed. Change in the regular Chicago date for the holding of state bar examina­ tions was made by the Supreme court on recommendation of the state board of law examiners. The regular change date from now will be the Tuesday of each July following the Fourth of July. Other state bar examination places and dates are: Ottawa--last Tuesday in Februaryy; Springfield--first Tuesday in October; Mount Vernon--first Tues­ day in December. Militia Will Patrol Levee. Governor Den sen waa appealed to by Mayor George Parsons of Cairo, with a request that the local com­ pany of the state militia be ordered to assist in the work of protecting the levee from the flood waters of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Company K, Fourth regiment, Illinois National Guard, was ordered on duty to patrol the levee. One hundred state tents were sent to Mounds, where many families have been driven from their homes by the floods. Articles of Incorporation. Secretary of 8tate Rose Issued cer­ tificates of Incorporation to the fol­ lowing: International Light, Novelty and Specialty company, Chicago; capital. $100,000; manufacturing noveltiee. In­ corporators--Rea M. Royoe, P. J. Hower and B. Mac. Steven. Perfect-Fit Cloak and Suit company, Chicago; capital, $1,000; manufactur­ ing ladies' wearing apparel. Incorpo­ rators--Hyman Edelstein, Jacob Rut- haiser and Jacob M. Smith. Salary Increase for Teachers. School teachers in Illinois in 1911 received in salaries a total of $18,- 195,917.72. The number of teachers among whom was distributed this sum was 29,860. This announcement was made by State Superintendent F. G Blair in the April issue of the depart ment's "Educations^ Press Bulletin." In number, teachers In Iliinoli since 1901 have increased from 26, 529 to 29,860. The total of salaries paid has jumped from $11,854,771.47 to the sum paid out last year. Male teachers received the higher average per annum in salaries. Tin­ men in graded schools received on an average of $1,088.89 per annum In 1911 and the women in the same class of schools received $730.76. In the un­ graded or one-room country schools, men received In salaries an average of $351.52 per annum and the women $315.98. The average of women's sal­ aries, as compared with those of men is higher therefore in the ungraded than in the graded schools. The fig­ ures in all cases represent a gradual rise in the scale since 1901. State Superintendent Blair urges country school teachers to begin at once their summer campaign for coun­ try school improvement Forty-one counties in the state have been vis­ ited up to this time by the supervisor of country schools and 600 schools have been granted diplomas in recog­ nition of their standardization. The counties in which fifteen or more schools have been thus recog­ nized are: Fulton, 16; Carroll, K; Lake, 17; Macon, 18; DeKalb, 21; Mason, 26;. Ogle, 25; Logan, 27; Kane, 29; Iro­ quois, 33; Woodford, 34; Sangamon, 37; McLean, 50; Whiteside, 69. Tells How Sick She Was And What Saved Her From Ap Operation.

Word was given out at the office of the Illinois state livestock commission that this association has expressed its desire to come to Springfield and to meet and hold its sessions of demon­ stration at the newly equipped state biological laboratory north of the state fair grounds. Work has been nearly finished on the excavation of the new laboratory building and on its comple­ tion by June, the time of the veter­ inary meeting, depends the coming of the convention to Springfield. The convention attracts ordinarily 500 or more delegates. They hold s three-day session each June, the time of which is devoted alternately to ad dresses and operative and demonstra tive work. Animal diseases of all kinds are studied and operations are performed. With its equipment and new quarters, the new state labora­ tory, it is believed, will prove a first- class convention place, in the event It can be completed by June. It waa In the excavation 4or new main laboratory building that the j unique method of digging by dynamite . was adopted.

Little Harold lives in Inroad Hippie. His mother got him ready for bed one cold night, and to be sure he would be warm enough during the night she took extra precautions, re­ lates the Indianapolis News. After she had put on his little fuzzy paja­ mas she tucked him carefully In be­ tween the wool blankets. Then, to make doubly sure, she got a Hot water bottle for him--and the youngster was apparently as snug as could be, with only his little nose sticking oat from beneath the covers. When his mother had finished the tucking-ln job she turned down the light. Soon the entire family was in bed. But Harold Is like most young­ sters. He loves his mother, and wishes lots of attention. So in hie child mind he figured out a way to flit her to his bed. "Mamma," he walled, 'Tm cold!" "Nonsense, son!" replied his matfc-' er, and she never made a move to go to his rescue. The little boy tried the opposite. "Well, I'm too hot, then!" he yelled.
