any event hnve attempted to conceal
from others Ills motives for procuring
the presence of Judith at the Nolau
home on this day. It would seem,
no matter how low he had sunk,
that he would have denied that he had
ever employed her unsuspectingly as a
decoy ou other occasions. That was
the least this father could do for bis
daughter. But he made no attempt to .
protect her reputntlou. at any rate to
Dupuy. for In answer to the lawyer
lobbyist's remark that he had done
"Just the right thing to bring Miss
Judith today" be replied with his char
acteristic coolness:
"Ob. in matters of this kind my
daughter la of the greatest help to
me!" After a moment he continued.
"1 don't at all like your idea, Dupuy.
of my proposing this man Nolan at
the club."
"That's our trump card." insisted the
other. "Every man has bis price
even this young Brand if we could
only And out what It is."
CHAPTER VII.
RAND and Nolan came out
of the library after their
smoke and were surprised to
tiud Judfce Hartelmy and Du
the drawing room. Brand did
not appear enthusiastic at the circum
stance and, nodding stiffly In the geu- ?
eral direction of the two men, proceed
ed to circle around tbetu toward ibe
door leading to the ball.
Judge Bartelmy advanced pleasedly
toward the newspaper owner, who
greeted him courteously.
"Judge, this Is iiu uuex pected honor."
"An honor to come? believe nie. Mr.
Nolan, au honor to come."
Nolan saw Brand's dexterous ma
neuver toward the door, and ou calling
to bim not to go be halted, turned to
ward the center of the room and stood
watching the strangely assorted group
puv in
clouds. The air up there makes your
nose oitfii; out. t>v (he Kternat, you
see all that's going ou down oere."
There was much "going oil down
here" thut Barteiuiy b> all means pre
ferred to have remain unseen, yet
be managed tft reply, with uu attempt
at sincerity:
"More power to you. Wheeler! More
power to you!"
Noluu stepped toward the Jurist
"You're u generous foe. Judge Bar
teiuiy." be said warmly, deceived by
.the smooth tactics of the Judge.
"Foe if That's hardly the word," re
sponded Barteimy, and with defer
ence: "Wheeler and I merely energize
differently. Lie Is dynamic; 1 am stat
ic, and that Is because be Is young and
I am old."
"He'll outgrow that Judge. You nev
er will," remarked Dupuy, crossing to
Nolun's side.
"But under every system of free gov
ernment." pronounced Barteimy In bis
best Judicial maimer, "there have al
ways been conservative and liberal
purtles, whose lenders, while they dif
fered perhaps In method, have beeu
stimulated by an cquul love of coun
try."
"That Is true. Judge Barteimy." sold
Brand, "but 1 cau't coucede that you
belong to the conservative party."
The Judge showed surprise.
"But I don't understand you," he
stammered, when Brand went ou de
terminedly:
"Are you uot seeking to Introduce
into onr country methods of govern
ment undreamed of by our forefa
thers?"
The Judge laughed us though in
agn-cable tolerance. Ells skill nt ver
bal parrying was standing him in good
stead.
"Oh. I bad as much enthusiasm my
self In my youth." be said, "but my
legal training has forced upon me u
certain unfortunate exactitude of
thought. But come. come. We old
lawyers have long sluce learned that
we cannot carry our quarrels out of
court. For Instance, of a morning my
best friend. Judge Culver, may be nt
drawn swords with me over some
point of law, but the same evening will
find us hall fellows well met. exchang
ing stories before a club tire."
Nolan nodded Ills head understand
ingly.
"Yes. Judge, that's life? that's life."
he commented
"Half the laws of our country are
framed up In clubs." interjectetl Uu
puy.
Barteimy raised his hand and mndo
a gesture of disapproval.
"I wouldu't soy that."
Brand saw an opjiortuuity to score.
"Likewise the safest methods of
evading the laws are framed up In
clubs." he shot at Dupuy.
Barteimy pretended to side with
Brand.
"BIS OS'LT I/OPE LIES ID A.W APPEAL-TO TOUR FAMILY'S SOCIA
DESIRES."
, oi men.
Nolau next addressed Dupuy, who
expressed his thauks nt the granting
of his request for au interview.
Judge Bartclniy. always quick to no
tice every detail or phase of what was
transpiring in his immediate presence,
saw that Brand was 111 at ease. lie
called to him cheerily:
"My daughter and 1 were just speak
ing of you. Wheeler. The reformer
sails a treacherous sea."
"The port Is iu sight. Judge Bartel
my." was the calm answer.
Barrelmy would have made a suc
cess on the stage. In fact, he had been
acting a part most of tils life and
proved the truth of Itlchard Mans
field's aphorism that "the best actors
are never seen ou the stage." At
Wheeler Brand's significant reply,
which smote as ominously on the ears
of the judge as It did on those of Du
puy. the Jurist gave nn Inward shiver
quite Imperceptible to the eye and re
piled In the most jovial of manners:
"So? So? That's good. That's worth
while. Stick to the helm, my boy," he
laughed.
"Brand ain't at sea. judge," put In
Nolan good naturedly. "He's In the
"That's neat. Wheeler.''" bo laughed.
"Do scored off you that time, Dupuy."
Bartelmy paused. He bad uow reach
ed n point where be was about to
make his supreme effort to capture
Kolau and the Advance, to make tbein
friendly to him. lie was about to
play what Dupuy bad truthfully term
ed "the trump card." "By the way.
.Mr. Nolan. Judge Culver aud 1 usually
dine two or three times a week at
the Oak Door club. We need you
there. We should have a man In nil
our discussions of public questions?
we should have a practical man of
affairs who knows what reformers like
our young friend here are really try
ing to get at. Shall 1 propose you for
membership?"
Dupuy watched the effect of Bartel
my's words on Nolan with Intense
eagerness. It was nu anxious moment
for both Dupuy and Bartelmy. If
I Nolan accepted they felt that they
were safe. As for. Nolan, ho was
greatly perplexed. He wanted to ac
cept the proffer, both for his own sake
and for his family's. Membership In
the Oak Door club was equivalent to
a ticket of admission Into the fashion
i able circles of the city. Ho would be
I
ablo then to put his wife and daugh
ter In the way ot gratifying their de
Hires. Sylvester, too, would be bene
fited in wumever business career tio
should take up, and the membership
would enable Dim to meet and make
bis persoual frieuds me most, promi
nent men of the city ? the men he nat
urally craved to associate with? on
terms of equality. Then he spoke:
"Benlly, judge." he said warmly,
"that's something that I never expect
ed to hear from your lips."
"Not at all; not at all! 1 shall bo
delighted to put you up, and Uupuy
will second me."
"With pleasure," bowed the lawyer.
Nolan Herniated over bis hnal reply.
He remembered what Brand had stat
ed regarding the attentions ot Judge
Battel my and his daughter. Probably
this offer was a trick, a bribe, aud It
did uot Improve the situation to have
Dupuy brought Into It by the Jurist as
seconder of his nomination. Still, the
Idea came luto Ills head? If he accept
ed It he did It with his eyes open; he
need uot necessarily change the pol
icy of the Advance toward certain pub
lic men. Thus he reasoned, and still
there lingered within him an Insidious
desire, even a prompting, lu view ot
the advantages for blmselt aud his
family, to accept at all hazards, under
any circumstances.
"Thank you. geniletneu, thank you,"
he said, temporl/.iug. lu an endeavor to
gain time before actually committing
himself, lie glanced across the room
at Wheeler Brand, wondering bow bo
was accept lug I lie sltuatiou. Brand
tool; a quick step forward, straight
ened himself stitlly and shot a glance
of warulug over the shoulder of Bar
telray, whose back was turned to him.
Nolan nodded tils head slightly to show
that he understood Dupuy caught the
Interchange of signals, and he glared
malignantly at the young managing
editor, lie saw that Brand would do
his utmost to swing Nolan away from
the subtle snare. Nolan addressed the
Judge. "I'll think It over-nnd thank
you once more."
Bartelmy aud Dupuy started toward
a door.
"Now, If you will excuse us, Dupuy
and I will Join the ladles," said the
Jurist. "Wheeler, you're not going
away yet. eh?" he added.
Brand moved toward the hall door
and Ignored the query.
"What's your hurry. Wheeler?" ask
ed Nolan as Bartelmy and Dupuy dis
appeared.
"Oh. It's time lo get back to the of
fice."
"H-ml What's the trouble?"
"What's the use ot talking about it?" j
"Come, get It oil your chest"
"1 don't have to tell you. Mr. Nolan."
Ue drew closer to bis employer.
"You think Mike Nolan is going back j
on you? Isn't that It?"
The young man's voice rang out in
his deep disappointment that Nolan
was lingering on the verge ot an ac
ceptance of Bartelmy'g offer, which
could mean only two things if his em
ployer yielded, and these were the muz
zling of the Advance and the silencing
of Brand as long as he remained on
I the paper. He blamed Nolan bitterly (
for falling to spurn the offer outright
on the moment.
"Do you think you can accept favors
from Bartelmy with one hand." he
cried, "and knlfu him with the other?"
Nolan gave a spirited but kindly re
ply:
"Hold your horses, Wheeler. You
know i don't care anything about this
social stunt for myself. It don't tit
into iny life, but remember I've got n
family, and nothing conies abend of
them. Mother and I may have a Jan
gle now and then; but. after all. we
have been side pariuers for a good
many years. And my girl! There ain't
? a liner educated or a prettier girl In
' New York, and she ought to be able to
go anywhere, but she can't in this
town? this cold man's town. Then, of
course, there's Sylvester. 1 know he
ain't as bright as he might be, and I've
spent? well, more than twice your sal
ary trying lo get hltu through lresh
nian year at Harvard, and l couldn't,
but still lie's my son, and if he wants
to run around with these other sports,
why not? I can afford It. and 1 guess
the kid's got to sow his wild oats any
way. My wife and children ought to
be hnppy with the money I've got. nnd.
as 1 tigure It, If I Join this Oak Door
club I can help them to get what they
want. Ho you follow me. Brand?"
"Yes; 1 understand." sighed Brand.
"At first you took up the side of the
people, nnd you are continuing at It.
But you and your family have become
ambitious, or, at least, so far as you
are concerned, you are ambitious for
them. When you begin to associate
familiarly with rich men as their friend
you'll soon find yourself playing golf
or bllllnrds with one, drinking whisky
with nnother, and your son will marry
tho daughter of a third. You will for
get #11 about the people. Your paper
will become decadent and feeble. The
circulation will dry up." lie paused
for breath and added warnlncly in
strong tones. "The Advance is now nt
Its zenith, but Its decline begins the
very day that you are elected to the
Oak Door club."
Nolan reached over and seized Brand
by the shoulder.
"Wheeler, you're a decent sort of a
fellow. I like you and the things
you've made the paper stand for. but
you don't know what it means to put
people that you love on the altar and
cause them suffering for the sake of
these? these genernl principles."
"Don't I!" exclaimed the young ed
itor. "Well, that's exactly what I've
done. I gnve up the girl I loved, who
had promised to be my wife, so that 1
might write the truth." In spite of
the emotion which his words had
aroused In him Brand's voice never
faltered as he spoke.
"You did!" exclaimed Nolan nmnzed
ly. "Well, my boy. I don't understand
you. I couldn't do that," he confessed.

Cures that last are cures that tell.
To thoroughly know the virtues of u
medicine you must investigate the

hero 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
the present time there Is not a symp

I advise anyone afflicted with kidney
