"Sure! That's the thing! Get Bar
teltuy to issue duo," suggested the
managing editor sarcastically.
"1 will and put a stop to your gauie!
This muck raking luaula is sweeplug
the country like a disease, breeding
madtueu everywhere. Brand, this is
your finish!" He shook his list vio
lently.
Brand Jumped up in auger aud strode
toward the lawyer lobbyist.
"Now. you get out of here or I'll
throw you out!" he announced hotly.
"You will, will you? You just wait!"
Pupuy backed slowly out of the door
way.
Brand hastened out into the com
posing room.
"Mac, they're beginning to squirm
already!" he cried.
"We'll make them squirm more in
the morning," responded the night edi
tor significantly.
CHAPTER XIII.
RAND, busily engaged In writ
ing the caption for the cut
that was to reveal Bart el my
in his true light, was inter
rupted once more? this time by the ei?
trance <>f the greenish hued face of the
l>oet reporter. Powell.
"You sent for me. sir?" asked the
new scribe.
"So you've covered a suicide?" said
Brand.
"Powow'a" eyes rolled wildly, lie
clasped his hands and his knees shook '
in his horror at what he had learned.
"Oh. yesslr? a terrible sight! I shall
dre-e-e-a-m of it. sir! It would take a
Pante- to write of it. Oh. I"?
"What was this girl's name?" asked ;
Brand in matter of fact tones.
"Madeline."
"Madeline what?"
"Her last name." the poet asked ;
dazedly. "I guess 1 don't remember. '
Oh. yes. It was Jenks? Madeline j
Jenks!" lie spoke feverishly.
Brand picked up the poet's first
newspaper story and began to read it.
In spite of the high pressure of events
that night In the Advance otliee. in
spite of his ever present fear that Bar
telmy and Pupuy might in some way
persuade Nolan to order the sensational
bribery story killed, this many sided
young man found the time to bother
with the fantastic young poet reporter
ar.d his fantastic first article.
"Madeline Jenks. eh?" commented
Brand, turning over the pages. "Well,
the first place you mention her name
is on page 3."
He plucked ofl' the first two pages
and threw them on the tloor. Powell
winced gainfully at the massacre of
his tirst reportorial offspring. "Begin
there," said Brand. Powell lunged
downward to rescue his first two
paces, but Brand kicked them away
from him. "Where'd she live?'' he
next asked.
Powell clasped his hands aud gazed
plaintively at the ceiling.
"Ov?* a chop suey cafe, sir."
"Number and street?"
"Two forty-three and a half West
Pearl street."
Hi
Brand threw away two more pages.
Powell watching hlui anxiously the
while.
"I'ui that next Here. Madeline
Jenks." Brand began to write, "an in
mate of -2431-j West Pearl street. What
did she do?"
"She destroyed herself utterly!" the
new reporter wailed.
Brand went on writing.
"Is she dead V"
"Yes, sir."
"Shot and killed herself? when?"
"Tonight at 9 o'clock."
Brand wrote ou.
"Last night at t> o'clock. Why?"
Powell answered very Intensely:
"Oh, she eould no longer face the
ghastliness of her existence. She knew
she"?
"She was weary of life in the
streets."
"I don't blame her," Brand coin
mented to himself. lie turned to
Powell. "There's your story. Thirty
words? you had 3,000. Aud remember
the story of the creation was told in
GOO words."
Powell picked up the pages of his
story which Brand had discarded and
walked dejectedly away.
"Mac," Brand ordered, "here's a
dance hall suicide. Put it with local
brevities, will you?"
Had Brand at this moment been able
to see through the wall that separated
the composing room from the hall he
would have witnessed a sight that
would have deprived him of some of
the self possession that marked his
present demeanor. A tigure clad in an
elaborate evening gown crept softly
up the stairway, stood irresolutely ut
the landing and then turned Into the
managing editor's office. Judith Bar
telniy probably never looked more
beautiful in her life thau she did that
night. A flush of excitement enhanced
the soft allurement of her exquisite
features, and the low cut neck of her
sleeveless gown completed a picture
of feminine loveliness that. Innocently
enough on Ucr part, was auTTi li'sibly
adapted to the purpose Judge Hart el my
had lu his unpriuclplcxl mlud when lie
sent her to the Advance ofllcc. "You
are luy only hope," he had told her
after Dupuy had at lirst failed to lo
cate Nolan. "You must go and plead
with Wheeler llraud or else 1 am
ruined. Your father will be ruined ab
solutely." At the sight of her father's
emotion and yielding to the fervent
pleadings of her only living pareul
she had willingly consented lo under
take the mission. Unpleasant though
she knew it would be, she believed it
her duty to stand by in his hour of
dire need the father whom she loved,
the father whom she did not know.
As she entered the olllcc and paused
lu conjecture as to Just how she would
proceed she heard footsteps hurriedly
ascending the stairs, and. withdrawing
into a shadow iu a corner, she saw
Michael Nolan and Mrs. Nolan cross
the hall and disappear into the com
posing room.
"Thank heaven!" she murmured fer
vently. "They will stop this story,
which father says Is a horrible lie."
Wheeler Brand will never forget? he
"'Remember the story of the creation rcas
told fii Guo words."
has since said so frotn the depths of
his soul? the shoek that went through
him when he saw Nolan, accompanied
f?y his wife, making their way toward
him on that memorable night.
McIIenry was speaking when they
entered.
"There is your lirst page. Brand." he
was saying, "mid it semis It artel my to
state prison."
The managing editor gazed approv
ingly at the appearance of the page of
type and the cut in the form as it lay
exposed on one of the stones under a
shaded electric light. He looked up
to congratulate McIIenry on the man
ner in which he had completed the
makeup of the page when his jaw sud
denly fell. His eyes took on an amazed
stare. He was looking straight over
the night editor's shoulder. McIIenry
caught Brand's ex predion and whirled
about. Then he. too. saw the owner
of the Advance and his wife draw
near. The triumphant air with which
the wife and mother sailed along by his
side lioded 110 good to Brand and Ids
story.
Nolan paused in front of the form
without looking at the contents at
first.
"Wheeler," he said kindly, "I've been
notified about this story, and I think
"Hi thinks he's n great reformer and
knows it all."
it best that I rend it carefully myself,
analyze it and learu all the circum
stances under which it was procured
before I allow it to to press. That
is a task which cannot be done in the
short time that remains before press
time, so we had best let It go over
until tomorrow? delay it one day. That
won't hurt the story any."
Mrs. Nolan clutched at the ex-miner's
arm and cried shrilly:
"Now. now. Michael, that's not your
usual way to explain tilings to one of
your employees. Order him to de
stroy all this miserable stuff about the
judge at ouce. Don't hesitate like this.
Think what it means to me, to the
children, to us," she pleaded.
"There, there, mother; you keep out
of this," said Nolan kindly, yet firmly.
"I'm trying to do the best I can for
you. It's because of you that I'm here
now. But you see"?
Ed Dupuy burst excitedly in upon
them, and as the typesetters were be
ginning to become distracted from
theiLivork owintr to the uuusual situa
tion fTrn n<l bocrnn to fear that tins new
Intruder would prove tlie llnnl demor
alizer of the entire night shin.
"Mr. Nolan." cried Dupuy, "we ?
haven't a minute to lose! They are
almost ready to go to press." [Io look
ed Intently :it the newspaper owner.
"Yes, quite right. We do go to press
very soon," cried IJrand confidently,
"and 1 know Michael Nolan Is the man
who will order It done."
"Michael." cried Mrs. Nolan at the
top of her voice, which rose sharply i
over the din of the typesetting ma
chines. "are you going to stand for 1
this? Mr. Brand acts as If he owned
the Advance and treats you as if you
were the olliee hoy. He thinks he's a
great reformer, and knows It all. We
other people have a rljilit to our opin
ions, too, and 1 don't see why you
and your family should be made to
suffer on account of him as we have
had to ever since you took hltu up."
Judith Hart el my heard the stormy
scene, lived a part of it herself hud
dled in the luanaglug editor's ollice.
She felt that Nolan would not let the
story he u ed from what she had
heard, and she could not suppress a
pang of pain that pierced her heart at
what she believed to bo the fanat
ical viudlctiveness of Wheeler Brand
against her father. Yet she was a
true woman, and she could not, in
spite of her loyalty to her parent,
avoid feeling a touch of pride at his
strength of character, his determina- 1
tion, at the sacrifices lie had made, to ?
accomplish what he believed, even if !
foolishly, to be his duty.
"They don't need me," she finally (
muttered, and, gathering up her costly .
skirts, she tripped daintily across the
paper strewn tloor, out Into the hall
and down to her carriage.
Nolan dropped his head In thought
when his wife had finished her tirade.
lie paced up and down nervously. ?
He looked at the clock, then at the
form with its accusing contents, then
at Brand, then at his wife.
"HI gb and telephone Judge Bar

lous."
