[CONTINUED.]
"Ah ha-ha!" The jurist loaned
back and laughed. "You're a clever
lad. Krand. Well, well: youth will be
served!" He pushed the pad away.
Brand glanced at (lie clock tixed in
the wall opposite hiiu.
"It's getting late. Judge," he warned.
Barteltny reached Into the inside |
pocket of his evening dress coat and
extracted an obloug package. Slipping
off a rubber band that encircled It. lie
uuwrapped the yellow paper and laid
before him on the managing editor's
desk a neat stack of crisp new bank
bills, all of the $.">00 denomination.
Barteltny started to count the money,
but he desisted and pushed the bills
over toward Brand.
"Count it," he said.
"You count It."
The Judge leaned forward and began I
fhe task. His head was within four
or live Inches of the mouthpiece of
the telephone. lie picked up the bills,
oue at a time, and as he counted them '
he laid them in : not her pile.
"Five hundred." lie said? "one thou
sand, fifteen two thousand, twenty
live? three thousand, thirty-five? four
thousand, forty-tlve ? tlvo thousand
There is half of It." he remarked.
"Yes; that's ?.">,ih>o." usseiited Brand.
"Six thousand." said the judge, con
tinuing with his task "seven thou- 1
saud. seventy-five? eight thousand."
"Eight thousand dollars." agreed
Brand.
"Nine thousand." counted the Judge. ,
to oe imprinted 011 too nram or rue
false Judge as long as be was to live?
a reply that would haunt him while
awake and awake him when he slept:
"It is a picture of you In stripes.
Judge Bartelmy," he nnnouneed.
The judge, realizing that he had
been tricked? that ho had been photo
graphed In the very act of handing
bribe money to the manuging editor of
the Advance? displayed rare presence
of mind for a man whose complete
social and professional ruin had be
come suddenly Imminent. lie rushed
across the room at the point where
the Hash occurred, hoping to obtain
hold of the camera and destroy the
plate. Owing to the pall of smoke he
had been unable to see just In what
manner the camera had been arranged.
But when he reached the side of the
room there was no camera to be seen,
only a round hole extending through
the partition Into the next room and
from which the cauiera had been re
moved. lie stood and gazed In dis
may. lie knew now that he was at
the mercy of Brand and the Advance
to a degree that he hardly dared to
estimate.
He turned around and walked back
to the desk. Brand was still standing
In his place, looking fixedly at the
judge.
Bart el my was not beaten yet. He
knew that he would not be beaten un
til the Advance appeared in the streets
spreading forth to all the world the
story of his shame.
Shaking from head to foot in his
rage, he pounded the desk and cried
<>ut:
"You have gone to all your trouble
for nothing. I am Kolng direct to Mr.
Nolan's house, and In less than an
hour you will receive orders to kill
that story? that dastardly pack of lies
you want to print!"
Brand smiled calmly., He gathered
the $10.006 in bills, which lay scatter-,
ed on tlie desk where Bartelmy had
thrown them when he dashed for the
camera.
"I'll keep these as evidence," he said.
?When they huve|>erved their purpose
we will return them to you. or maybe
we will send theiu to the minority
stockholders in tiie I.ansfug Iron com
pany. That's who the money probably
belongs to."
Bartelmy accepted the situation with
stoical composure for the time. lie
saw that he would have no chance in
"IT IS J. PICTURE OF YOU /A' STRIPES, JUDGE BARTELMY."
"Nino thousand d' li salt! Tirana.
"Ten thousand dollars," the judge
counted.
"Is that correct V" he i|Ueried of the
editor.
"Ten thousand doll irs, correct." was
the reply. "Thin will wipe the slate
clean between us."
Brand held out Ills hand to take the
money.
The judge picked up the pde of bills,
compressed them with his hands and
extended the money across the desk.
"Take It. Brand." lie said.
As the false Judge said these words
and stood with the money in his hands
and held it out to the editor a loud ex
plosion thrilled every nerve fiber In
his body. A blinding glare of light
tilled the room, and the air was tilled
with tlie choking gaseous fumes of
the smoke of the powder used by pho
tographers in making tlashlights.
A pang of terror shot through tne
craven heart of the would be briber.
He started back In his alarm, his eyes
almost blinded by the unexpected llood
of light that had subsided as quickly
as it had come.
"My <;?h1! What is that?" he cried,
rubbing the back of one of his hands
across his eyes.
Wheeler Brand, who had risen in his
place at his desk when the judge had
finished counting the money, set his
face into hard, unyielding lines as the
judge besought him to speak, to ex
plain. He had won. lie had com
pletely at his mercy this cold, crafty
betrayer of the public trust he had
6 worn to hold sacred. And it was
with unmistakable triumph in his
voice that he gave tin- reply that was
n ham! to hand struRRle with tne
young athletic editor for possession of
tin- money. Besides, he must see No
lan? must see film at once. That was
the most Important matter to which
he should now attend.
He walked deliberately to the closet
and secured his hat and coat, lie
turned the key and went out of the
door lead I np to the outer hall.
As the juilse disappeared Wheeler
Brand sank heavily into his chair. He
"You count the money, judge."
spread his arms 011 hiss desk and bow
ed his head between them uutil bi9
cheek rested on the cool* polished sur
face.
"Judith, Judith!" he sobbed, and his
body shook uncoutrolledly as he wept
for the girl he loved.
[TO Bit rONTINtJKD.]
SENSE OF HEARING.
Sound Waves and the Way They Act
Upon the Ears.
The detection of the direction of it j
sound by tin- sense of hearing Is, like !
the rapid focusing of the eye on oh- i
Jects at different distances, oue of
those Instinctive operations which arc
continually done without any conscious
method.
Sound waves traverse the air as rip
ples stir the water, and the ear by ex
perience acquires some slight power of
detecting the direction In one case, as
the eye does with far greater accuracy
hi tlie other. I'sunily we unconscious
ly receive assistance from other senses
as well. Often we fall to locate at
once some hidden source of sound,
such as a singing bird, and then our
Instinctive Ingenuity displays itself.
The Intensity of sound Is, of course,
by 110 menus so great behind a screen
as in front of it. and every one carries
with him the screen of his own head,
which may prevent a particular sound
from being heard so well by one oar
as by the other. If. then, the head Is
turned until this inequality disappears
>and both ears hear equally well we ,
know that we must be directly facing
or turned from the source of sound,
and our previous rough idea of its
whereabouts generally prompts us to
face It.
An Italian Superstition.
There is nn Italian superstition that
whenever a kins belonging to the
house of Savoy dies a huge eagle is to
lie seen crossing the Alps over the val
lo.v of Aosta in the direction of Savoy,
and the conviction prevails nniong the
inhabitants of Aosta that mis eagle
guides the soul of the dead ?o\erelgn
to jo!n those of h:.s ancestors in Savoy.
?\Vhoti King Charles Albert died at
Lisbon, King Victor Emmaiuel died
nt Home and King Humbert was ns
sasinatcd at Monza In 1900 the eagle
was seen winging its way across the
Alps. All other eagles crossing the
Alps don't seem to count for much.
