CHAPTER V.
YEAR passed since the event
ful ulglit for Wheeler Brand
when Nolan made him man
aging editor of the Advance.
In these months Brand made a showing
with the paper that was never dream
ed of by the owners preceding as being
i within the range of possibility. Made
absolute master of the paper and con
sequently dictator of its policy, the
young mau set a pace that the paper's
rivals found difficult to equal, much
less to outstrip, ills exposure of the
scandals In the exclusive world of
high life insurance tlnuuce has thus
far proved the most vital reform of
his administration. As a result of this
crusade, which drove a half dozen
leading officials from almost as many
companies, the president of the United
States stated publicly that "the vast
life insurauce business of this country
Is now 011 the soundest tiuanclai basis
it bas ever bad."
But Wheeler Brand in the press of
stirring events had not forgotten Judge
Bartelmy. In fact, certain activities of
that estimable Individual were just
now under close scrutluy by the one
time reporter, who. If lie could be pre
vailed on to speak concerning It,
iniguc possioiy oowerve mat tne judge
was very soon to nave an opportunity
to make a tew explanations wblcb
would be received with undoubted In
terest by the puflic. 1 lie young edi
tor's suit tor the nand ot Judith Bar
telmy' might be ?aid. since we are
dealing wan a judge's tainlly, to be in
statu quo. She was still waiting tor
bim "to become sane. ' us she had ex
pressed herself to mm. A girl ot lofty
principles mid 01 decided strength of
character, she could not ?ee his duty
from his viewpoint. Perhaps it was
all quite nam mi. quite womanly, quite
daughterly, that she should subscribe
absolutely to tier father's side in the
momentous case ot "J U L>( 1 K BAR
TELMY VERSUS THE PEOPLE,
WHEELER BRAND AND THE AD
i vance."
She was loyal to her father, and she
was tryiug to be loyal to her lover,
and the task was tXH-otniiig more and
more difficult. Yet she waited, and
Wheeler Brand wuited. and each pray
ed that the other would end the ordeal
and heal two breaking hearts.
Today we Uud Wheeler Brand pro
ceeding toward the luxurious Nolan
home on a fashionable residential thor
oughfare to visit the proprietor of the
pa|ier to hand him a statement of the
Advance's progress, to discuss mat
ters of editorial policy and to confer
regarding a certain development con
cerning Judge Bartelmy.
A
WE
At the Mointi nouie a recepuou uuu
been announced. hundreds or Invlta
lions sent out. but the responses did
not encourage Mrs. Nolau in her so
cial aspirations. Society passed her
by That was the whole story In
brief. Society, as usual, was ever so
much pleased with Itself and was too
busy to Include Mrs. Nolau. Phyllis
and Sylvester In its diversions. The
husband and father cared very little
for society, had uo time for it. but he i
fondly loved the courageous, warm
hearted woman who had uncomplain
ingly shared with hlui the ouerous
j hardships of his early days, and It was
his desire to gratify her ambitions as
well as those of his daughter. The
fortune he had plucked from Nevada's
flinty bosom enabled hltu to be gener
ous. and he smiled approvingly on ev
ery new extravagance of Mrs. Michael
Nolan. Therefore If she was socially
ambitious she must have her way aud
be allowed to carry on her campaign
for recognition in whatever fashion she
chose. Certainly the home he had es
tablished was a fitting vuutage grouud
: from which to wage u war of dollars
against the precipitous embattlements
with which the city's Four Hundred
had encircled its camp. Palatial in
size, the Nolan residence was equally
palatial lu Its furnishings, and only
the magic word from the magic lips
of a single member of the magic realm ]
of "the aristocracy" was necessary to
(tend mnnogrumtned coaches In long
lines to the Nolan doors, to till the cost
ly rooms with distinguished faces, to
All to overflowing with happiness the
yearning heart of Mrs. Michael Nolan.
But the word had not yet been spo
ken.
It was now late in the afternoon
at the Nolau home. Phyllis walked
1 across the drawing room, irritation .
plainly marking her pretty pink and
white face. The music of a string
orchestra stationed In the conserva
tory ceased. She addressed a servant
who stood at attention at u door at the '
right which led to the dlulng room.
"Pitcher." she said dlscouragedly, "I
. don't think any one else will come, so
tell the musicians they can go."
"Yes. Miss Phyllis."
At this point Mrs. Nolan came storm
ing In. carrying u huge bunch of hot
house grapes lu her hand.
"Pitcher. I noticed those catcrer men
are drluklng all the chumpagne. and 1
want It stopi>ed." she ordered loudly.
Pitcher bowed and went out.
"It Qiir won't conic ticre to I
drink It. at 'least we will drink It our
selves." Mrs. Nolan announced to Phyl
lis. "Well, we Dave done It? sent
out 400 cards, and wbo's been Here
that anybody wants to see? This Is
the second time we've gone to all this
trouble and expense for nothing and
uobody. and If you'll take my advice It
will be the last."
"Mamma. Pitcher will bear," the girl
protested.
The mother bit a grape from the
bunch. She deposited the skin and
stones In a Sevres vase on the marble
mantel.
"Phyllis, what did you have to pay
that musician?" she asked.
"Well, his price Is a thousand dol
lars."
"Good gracious!"
"But I got him for $750. I promised
the Advance would help blrn."
"Seveu Hfty for playing twice. I'd
rather hear the band." Mrs. Nolan bit
off another grape.
"You don't understand, mamma. Ev
erybody's wild over that violinist."
"It seems there wasn't nobody wild
enough to come here."
"There wasn't 'anybody,' " spoke
Phyllis, correcting her mother.
"Well, was there?" retorted the
mother as she dropped the grape skin
In another vase.
"Oh, dear." Phyllis walled disconso
lately as she seated herself before a
small stand, "dou't rub It In. mamma!
I can't help It."
"Now. wbo's blaming you, child?"
consoled the mother. "There, don't
cry. I'm not so disappointed about
myself, but I can't bear to see you
snubbed right and left. Vou are good
enough to go with any of these people,
and you shall too It's that newspaper
that's at the bottom of It. People
won't have It, or us because of It. and
I mean to tell your father so too. And
that's why these 'at homes' Is uo
good."
"Are no good, mamma," tearfully.
"Well, are they? It would have been
better to put your $750 Into sufTra
cetthig. That's what gets you In with
tie right people? not that 1 care to
/ote. but 1 don't want the men to say
I can't"
Sylvester Oolan interrupted the con
versation between mother and daugh
ter by appearing before them with his
bosom friend, .Max Powell, who be
lieved himself to have the makings of
a master poet. It was with deepest
pride that the Nolan son presented
Powell, long haired, sallow faced and
seedlly dressed, to his mother and sls
ler. Sallow faced ? Indeed, his coun
tenance had that sickly greenish yel
low hue that comes from long de

stinenre front tbe devouring of food.
"Hello, nuunmn!" be cried enthusi
astically. "Here's a friend of mine 1
want you to know? Mr. Powell, the
poet."
"How do you do. Mr. Powell? You
look as If it would be easy for you to
write poetry. Do you know, poetry
Just sets me wild!"
Sylvester patted Powell on tbe back.
"Well, this lad's going to make a
big noise In poetry somo day. Phyllis,
you must have heard of Powell. My
sister, old man!"
"Won't you have a cup of tea. Mr.
Powell?" Invited Mrs. Nolan, visibly
Impressed by the presence of a poet at -
her home.
Powell started confusedly to utter
his thanks, tie did not seem over
ilellghted at tbe offer.
Sylvester saw the difficulty. "Tea!"
he exclaimed. "Abslntb for Powell!"
Mrs. Nolan expressed her regret at
not having any abslntb and left tho
room, followed by Phyllis, to arrange
for somethiug for Powell to eat. "Poor
fellow! He looks hungry," she wbls- 1
pered to Phyllis.
Sylvester caught the poet by the
arm.
"One minute. Powow," hp cautioned.
"Be sure you don't mention anything
to the folks about my little actress
friend. 1 don't want them to know
that I am going to take a crack at
uplifting the stage. The little girl will
be all right. She'll Just make your
libretto hum. She'll fill it with per
sonality. Build up all those weak
places. You know. Powow, there aro
some. Where's that poem for her?
Finished set?"
' "Yes. It'fi here somewhere." fumbling
In a pocket.
"Have you tnndo It amorous for tho
little girl?"
"Judge for yourself. Of course I tried
to write In your vein us well us 1 could,
so that there would be no doubt to the
authorship."
Sylvester read the lines:
Oh. Ouencvlorc. how sweet my dear!
My spirit Hours In dreams denied.
Worlds beyond worlds with thee, my
bride?
"I don't like that much." he an- ;
nounced when he had finished. '
"Bride! Is It necessary to put that In
writing? Besides. it dou't sound as if
I wrote It. Now. does It. Fowow,
old chap? Fess up."
"I hope It doesn't sound as If I wrote
It"
"1 thought you'd see It. Now. change
that and It's a Knockout drop. Can't
you c ban ge it
now? And I'll
send It to the lit

who rend aloud these Inspiring words:
So bright and beaming are thine eyes
Tlio very stars (wink In surprise.
Thy lialr so like the dusky night.
Thy Kiss so vibrant with delight.
I thrill unto my finger dps.
Oh, ruby, ruby? rougcy lips!
I'owell literally writhed In agony as
lie listened to the doggerel.
"It's great!" crie.i Sylvester ecstatic
ally. "And now come g;t your tea.
Gee. I'd like to take a crack at belug
a poet!"
The two conspirators hurried Into |
the dining room as Wheeler Brand
and the owner of the Advance cauie I
into the drawing room.
"You're right. Wheeler; you're right."
Nolan was saying "This is a better
showing than I noped tor. l^ook In
your stocking next Christmas. There'll
be something tor you When I got into
the uewspaper business. Brand, they
told me It was the beglnniug or my
finish, that it sucked len fortunes
down for every one it built- and uo
middle aged man ever went into It and
came out again without teeth marks
all over him. liui look at mat." Lie
held up a typewritten statement. "I'm
richer for going In -twice as much ad
vertising as last year at this time."
Nolan seated himself on a settee.
"The big advertisers never pull their
ads. so long as they are getting re
turns from them." put in Brand.
"Look at Dupuy. Itemember how he
threatened us and now Ills clients took
their ads. out tor two months?"
"Yes. but they put them back again."
"Why? Because they need us more
thnu we need them." Brnud laughed.
"Well, he's got something eise up his
sleeve now." remarked Nolan. "He
telephoned that he would come to see
me this afternoon."
"Are you going to see bimY" nranu
asked curiously.
"I thought I mite Lit us well. Ue'll be
bore. Maybe lit* wants to tire you
again." 'i'be newspaper owner looked
u|> at lira ucl and laughed Heartily.
Mrs .Nolan and Phyllis re-entered
the drawing room, and Braud became
the especial object of tbelr attentions.
The mother desired to nave nim
print the list of her Invited guests
who had never attended the recep
tion. i'byllls requested him to print u
story about the violinist and was vast
ly annoyed when Hraud informed her
that the subject was a matter for the
musical editor to attend to.
"And there's something else. Mr.
Brand." A look or despair came Into
Brand's face "i'byllls went to Miss
Bartelmy's muslcale the other day,
and you didn't even include her name
among those present." the mother said.
"Why. I'm sorry. That was an over
sight. 1 assure you. I suppose tbey
made up the usual list in the otllce."
"I hope It won't liap|>eu again." re
marked Phyllis Indignantly.

Waited Twenty Years For a Solution.
A bit of pure and harmless mischief
at recitation at Yale was the device
of a member of the class of '72, who
introduced at recitation n turtle covered
by a newspaper pasted on the shell.
The tutor had too much pride to come
down from his perch and solve the
mystery of the newspaper movement,
but twenty years after, meeting a
member of the class, his first and ab
rupt Question was. "Mr. \\\, what
made that paper move?"
A Relief.
"Johnny," said the boy's mother, "I
hope you linve been a nice, quiet boy
at school this afternoon."

Cures that last are cures that tell.
To thoroughly know the virtues of a
medicine you must Investigate the
cures and see if they prove perma

test, and plenty of proof exists right
here in this locality. People who test
ified years ago to relief from backache
kidney and urinary disorders, now de
clare that relief was permanent and
the cure perfect Can any Alaskan
sufferer longer doubt the evidence?
J. Prenatt, 311 Third Ave., N., Se

ceived from Doan's Kidney Pills over
three years ago, has been permanent
and I. therefore, cheerfully confirm
the public statement I gave In favor
of the remedy at that time. For two
years I had attacks of backache and
my kidneys were so weak that the
least cold I contracted settled in them
making my condition worse. Doan's
Kidney Pills promptly disposed of the
pains in my back and regulated the
passages of the kidney secretions. A

tom of my former troublo remaining.
I advise anyone afflicted with kidney
complaint to give Doan's Kidney Pills
a trial."
