have done, his Intentions were honest.
He had been 1'ivolvcd by others and
when he tried to extricate himself it
was too lute. They, not he, were
guilty. It was for their Mikes, not his
own. that he offered you that money,
so you see you are wrong. Why,
Wheeler, if you belonged to me and
committed a crime 1 would die to
shield you from the penalty."
Brand answered her quickly.
"That is wrong reasoning."
"No. no; it Is right. That must al
ways be," she cried "It is like? like
a law of life. Can't you see that too?
I belong to you. Yes. I belong to you,
and you should shield me. You must
feel toward my father as he were your

! broke down completely and sobbed
; brokeuly, leaning across the form.
! "Oh. say you will do what 1 ask!"
Uracil tried to raise her. but she
clung to hini frcnzledly.
"Judith, for God's sake, don't!" he
said.
"Yes. yes; you must, you shall!" Sho
was lotting all control of herself In her
desperation.
"Judith, listen to me," he said tn
splredly. "I'm not the man who loves
you or b loved by you. I've uo right
to think of you or of myself. I'm an
Instrument to an end In the history of
a great God. Can't you see this thing
as I do?"
"I can't reason. I can't argue. I
can only feel."
The Judge had drawn a few steps
uway from the pair during the sceuo
betweeu them. He viewed with cal
' culatiug satisfaction the battle that
his daughter was waging so valiantly
in his behalf, and he had felt that uot
eveu the young stole Brand could re

the girl he loved At his daughter's
last outcry he drew near to the editor.

cried, raising his eyes to meet those of
Judith's father.
Bartcluiy saw that he had played
his last card. It ivas Ills highest
trump, but it h:ul failed to win. What
Judith could not -do he surely, under
the existing circumstances, could not
do. Nolan, the only man who could
save him If he would, had gone, he
knew not where.
And it was now press time. All was
over. Bartelmy took a single step to
ward Ills daughter.
"Brand, that story is my obituary,"
he said in low tones.
"Oh. no," was the response in sad
dened voice. "Men like you don't liu
ish that way. You'll have about six
hours, judge, before that story is read
by the public."
Judith, too, was ready to admit that
her last and culminating effort had
been in vain. Wearied and unstrung,
she raised herself from the fatal form
that was to besmirch the name and ;

The thought of the happy moments
that she had spent with Wheeler,

when they would lie limn and wife,
eume over her. it swept down the
wall of reserve and determination with
which she had deemed II necessary to

The English Thief That Dropped In to
See His Lawyer.
Ilere Is a story of a genuine instance j
of the kind of business which fell to ?
the lot of a once notorious London
"thieves' counsel." One day a thick- '
set man, with a cropped poll of tin- |
uiistakably Newgate cut, slunk into
this counsel's room, when the follow
ing dialogue took place:
"Morning, sir," said the man, touch- |
ing his forelock.
"Morning," said the counsel. "What
do you want'/"
"Well, sir, I'm sorry to say. sir. our
little Ben. sir, has 'ad a mlsfortln.
Fust offense, sir. only a wipe."
"Well, well!" interrupted the coun
sel. "(Jet on"?
"So, sir. we thought as you'd 'ad all ;
the family business we'd like you to j
defend him, sir."
"All right." said the counsel; "see j
my clerk"?
"Yes, sir," continued the thief, "but
1 thought I'd like to make sure you'd
attend yourself, sir. We're anxious
(os It's little Ben, our youngest kid."
"Oh. that will be till right! Give
Simmons the fee."
"Well, sir." continued the man, shift
ing about uncomfortably, "I was go
ing to arst you. sir. to take a little
less. You see. -sir"- wheedlingly? "it's
little Ben? his lir-t mlsfortln"?
"No, no!" said the counsel Impa
tiently. "Clear out!"
"But, sir. you've had all our busl
ues-. Well. sir. If you won't you
won't, so I'll pay you now. sir." And
as he doled out the guineas, "I may ;
as well tell you. sir. you wouldn't 'a'
got the counters if 1 hadn't had a little
lilt of luck On the way."? From "The

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
nent. Doan's Kidney Pills stand this
test, and plenty of proof exists right
Iiitc In this locality. People who test
Iflcd years ago to relief from backache
kidney and. urinary disorders, now de
clare that relief was permanent and
tho cure perfect Can any Alaskan
sufferer longer doubt the evidence?
J. Prcnatt, 311 Third Avo., 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 that time. For two
years I had attacks of backache and
my kidneys were so weak that the
least cold I contracted settled in thera
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
tom of my former trouble remaining.
I advise anyone afflicted with kidney
complaint to give Doan's Kidney Pills
a trial."
