CHAI'TBIt IV.
T-*HE declaration of tbe new
owner of the Advance that
he was no ii-ss a perse nage
than till* blacklist victim of
years back created the sensation that
I would a cannon shot In the dreamy
solitude of the sylvan dells ot A ready.
Dupuy fell back as though struck by
a violent blow. And. Indeed, he and bis
: Interests would have every reason to
; believe, be uow Knew lull well, that
tbey had in all truth a new enemy to
combat, an enemy that would cost
them dearly If he were to be van
quished.
"You? you are Jerry Dolau, and you
own tbe Advance:" the lawyer cried
chokingly. "What are we coming to
next?" he flnallv managed to say after
a desperate elTort to calm himself.
Jerry Nolan, for none other than the
old time strike leader it was. enriched
i by bis mining operations in the rock
: ribbed Nevada hills, thrilled with tbe
1 realization that hi- was uow In a posi
tion to strike terror Into the hearts
and souls or those who had attempted
to destroy him and his loved ones. Ho
knew that he bad In his power the
men who bad almost succecdcd In their
designs against him twelve years be
fore.
McHenry. at first even more puzzled
than Dupuy and who was bendlug for
ward. with an expression of deepest
interest and concern Implanted on his
features, began 10 understand the sit
uation more clearly wben he heard his
gested. let "bycones be bygones," pfse
why should he shake hands with the
man? Dupuy also felt n thrill of pleas
ure. even of triumph, as the one tlmo
chairman of the Street Railway Work
ers' union warmly shook his hand.
Dupuy smiled and. bowing pleasantly,
essayed to withdraw I1I9 hand from
Nolan's grip aud step away. But his
smile turned to a wrinkled contraction
of his facial muscles. Indicating
a cutest pain. The giant hand of the
ex-atrlker, ex-miner, was closing with
crushing force around the lawyer lob
byist's lingers and knuckles. It did
not cease to crush, try as Dupuy
might to wrest his hand free. At the
moment when he felt that he must
scream In his pain or else crlnglngly
plead for mercy Nolan's grip partially
relaxed, and he swung Dupuy to oue
side. A grim smile made Us way Into
the furrows, won by suffering and pri
vation In the Nevada mining camps
and desolate gold regions, that mark
ed Nolan's visage.
"You see, I'm stronger than you now.
Ed Dupuy. Just as you was stronger
than me twelve years ago? you and
Bartelmy between you." A great sigh
escaped him as he litilshed.
Dupuy. now having freed his hand,
rubbed It smartly with the other to
restore the circulation to the flattened
veins. He wheeled away to pick up
his overcoat.
Nolan now addressed McHenry, who
had seated himself at his desk.
"You're the managing editor?"
"Yes. sir."
"Well. 1 Just want to tell you that
that was a true article you had about
that old hypocrite. Judge Barteltny,
tills morning," he stated to McHenry.
"Have another tomorrow and strong
er." Another Idea came to him, and
he added, "Who was It got up that
one today?"
Dupuy felt that he must come to Mc
Henr.v's rescue.
"A young man who has since resign
ed." he Interjected for the managing
editor. Both McHenry and Dupuy
were growing uneasy at the trend of
Nolan's thoughts and words. A
glimpse Into the craulums of them
both at this moment would have re
vealed the same thought to be pre
dominating: "What Is he driving at?"
Nolan appeared distinctly surprised
at two things? tirst. that the writer of
the story had resigned: second, that

new employer say lu a voice that pul
' sated with determination:
"Yes. Ed Dupuy. I am Jorry Doian,
and 1 am back in the old town to pay
my respects to my friends and? and"?
his voice shook? "to my enemies."
The whole truth now dawned upon
the amazed McIIenry and also upon
Dupuy. who had been dealing with
men long enough to know that bis
only successful pose at the present
momeutous time would be a concilia- !
tory one. He must at all hazards
smooth over this dangerous factor in
the city's affairs, the returned Jerry
Doian, and persuade him that be was
now his friend.
"Well, well." Dupuy began Ingrati
atingly. simulating a sickly smile,
"this is a most interesting meeting
most interesting, indeed." He laughed
as loudly as the nervously contracting
muscles of his throat would permit.
"IJut it Is time now to let bygones be
bygones, eh. Mr.? er? ah"? He again
thrust forward the hand that the
newspaper proprietor had refused to
grasp.
"Nolan." answered the newcomer In
his deep, strong voice. "N-o-l-a-n. with
an 'X' and not a *D' on the front end
of it. That's my name now. 1 had to
change It." He stopped abruptly and
again directed his dark eves menac
ingly ou the face of the man opposite i
htm. After a few moments he contin
ued: "You see, Ed Dupuy, I was
blacklisted as Doian. Likely you'll
remember that too."
Nolan reached out and. seizing Du
puy's haud, held it firmly. McHenry,
at one side, witnessed with a distinct
shock what he understood as Nolan's ;
sudden resolv^ to, as_ Dui>uj; had sug
Dupuy should bo so familiar with the
uiiitter. lie took a step toward the
latter.
??Resigned?" he asked In reverberat
ing tones. "How do you know?" Be
fore Dupuy could answer Nolan wheel
ed on McHenry. "Is It so, what Dupuy
says?" he asked of the tnuuaglng ed
itor.
"Yes. sir."
"What's his name?"
"Wheeler Brand."
"What did he resign for?"
"Some of the big advertisers forced
hin> to." admitted McHenry calmly.
A look of understanding tlltteci
across Nolan's face. lie shifted his
glance from McHenry to Dupuy. Then,
with a significant smile, he said:
"I see you are still on the Job, Ed
Dupuy."
"Well. It's business"? began tho lob
byist detiantiy. But Nolan would not
listeu to him. Thoughts vastly more
important than conjecture as to l)u
puy's motives now crowded his brain.
"Where Is Brand now?" ho asked
sternly of McHenry.
"I think he Is in the local room now.
sir," pointing to the door at his left.
The new proprietor strode Impulsive
ly to the doorway and called at the
top pitch of his powerful voice:
"Wheeler Brand! Wheeler Brand!"
? ????*?
As he had hurried from the manag
ing editor's room after his dismissal
from the Advance Wheeler Brand
struggled valiantly against a wave of
discouragement that assailed him and
for a moment or two threatened to
overwhelm. "Discharged for 'beating'
the town on the story of the year." ho
muttered.. ?'Well, I'll try to get oji
across the street." he concluded,
"across the street" meaning thetiuard
Ian. the bitter rival of the Advance,
lie went to one of the Ions oak tables
In the city room, where he seated
himself next to Hlgglns. the leading
police reporter of the paper, and be- 1
gun nervously to finish the story of a
new bank merger on which he had
been working when summoned by Me- 1
Henry. When he finished he laid the
pages of copy on the city editor's desk.
He dragged a cnair to a window, sat
down and gazed moodily down at the
crowds of people hurrying along the
street below.
It was not Ills dismissal from the
staff which chiefly concerned him. He
was certain of obtaining another posi
tion. in fact, his reputation aloug
Newspaper row was such, and he
felt Justifiable pride at the thought,
that he would be at work within twen
ty minutes after leaving tlie Advunce
office If he so desired. Hut what did
occupy his mind to the exclusion of al
most everything else was the consid
eration of what vjew Judith Barteluiy
would take when site heard tile news
of his dismissal. She had warned film
that "he was sacrificing bis future in
his attacks on the powers that be.
Undoubtedly now she would fie con
duced. as some or his friends had al
ready endeavored to convince ner.
that, after all. he was a tauatlc, an
Impractical dreamer, who could not
accomplish his ambition to right what
he believed to be great wrongs, who
could not. moreover, escape summary
dismissal from his paper. Hut 1 he
must go on. He would go on. He
would go that very night to a news
paper that would not suppress nor
qualify the truth, one that would not j
distort facts nor misrepresent a sit- j
uatlon In order to deceive the public, i
to which It was Its duty to give the
truth. Yes, and he would show the
big thieves ot the city that even if
they managed to remain superior to
the law at least tiny could not remain
superior to public opinion. The time
had come when?
-Wheeler Brand! Wheeler Brand!"
The voice of Nolan came to his ears
above the ticking of the telegraph In
struments and the clicking of type
writer keys. Brand started from his
seat. He did not recognize the voice. j
nor did any one else in the smoky city ;
room, as curious upraised faces around
him testified. It came from the man
aging editor's room, however, so he
hastened to respond, wondering what
it could mean.
Brand entered McHenry's office and
faced the three men. his surprise In
creasing as lie saw from the attitudes
of McHenr.v and Dupuy that a huge, j
rawtmned. bronzed faced stranger ap- |
pnrently dominated the situation.
"Yes?" said Brand inquiringly to
the stranger, whom he placed as the ;
owner of the voice, because he knew
It had not been McHenry's or Du
puy's
"I am Nolan, the new owner." greet- j
ed the stranger.
Brand stepped forward and offered
his band, which Nolan grasped.
"How do you do. Mr. Nolan?" the
reporter greeted him, endeavoring to
figure just what the mysterious pro
ceeding portended.
Nolan went straight to the point
"So you've been Bred for that Bar
telmy article, have you?" he asked.
"Yes. rlr."
Nolan turned an?l shot a triumphant
glare at McHenry aud Dupuy. Then
I
"From now on you sit here.''
he causctl the blood to rush almost
bllndlngly iuto the bead of the young
reporter when he swung around,
grasped Brand's arm. drew him over
to the managing editor's chair, beside
which that oflk-lal was standing, and
said. ?'Weli, I've got another Job for
you." Nolan put both hands on
Brand's shoulders and by main
strength forced him down heavily Into
the chair. "From now on you sit
here," he announced. "You're manag
ing editor now."

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 backacho
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
attle, Wash., says: "The relief I re
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 Uiat 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 iny 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
tom of my former trouble remaining.
I advise anyone afflicted with kidney
complaint to give Doan's Kidney Pills
a trial."
