Ttie lawyer been mo Impatient.
"The transaction Involving the? ah?
the investment ? of a certain? sum of
tuoney," he explained haltingly.
"A business deal 1 was goiug Into
with the Judge?" In amazement.
"Precisely."
"If 1 had any business with the
Judge, Dupuy, 1 would prefer to do it
with the judge."
"But 1 aiu his plenipotentiary."
"Mhm, ni hill!" grunted Brand nega
tively.
"You are rather unreasonable.
Brand." A wearied and hopeless look
began to show in the lawyer's visage.
The young editor noted this and re
solved to temporize with and exasper
ate this man whom he despised above
all others, even above Bartelmy him
self. Bartelmy, believed Brand, even
if he was a scoundrel, actually had
superior mental ability, was a brilliant
thinker and ucted boldly In many of
his dishonest transactions on the bench.
But Dupuy? he was to Brand the hang
er-on. the skulker, the vandal jackal
that devoured corpses in the night that
braver animals had fought and killed
by day. Ills eyes blinked In the light,
did Dupuy's. It was in the under
ground runways that he coursed the
swiftest. And as these thoughts sped
through his brain the editor looked
away absently.
Dupuy came hot on his trail.
"Shall I make an appointment with
him f>>r you, say, tomorrow morning?"
he anxiously queried of the newspaper
man.
"I don't care."
"Then I'll do it!" he said decidedly
and moved away from the desk. "And
? er"? He saw that Brand was still
In llfferent. He
returned to the
desk. "Things
will remain sta
tionary until
then?" he asked.
"Things never

what you are talking about."
"Can we let It ko over for one ila.v?"
"I don't know what you arc talking
about."
"You Insist on bis coining bore per
sonally?"
"Of course I don't. I don't insist on
anything."
"How much tluie have we got?"
"He knows all about that."
Dupuy was Immeasurably relieved
at this last remark. It was the lirst j
time that Braud bad Indicated that
Bart el my and he bad had an engage- '
ment.
"Mr. Braud. I can almost assure you
that my client will keep bis appoint
ment." The lawyer's voice rang out
firmly.
The editor nodded carelessly toward
the speaker, who spun on his heel and
speedily strode away. The telephone
, bell sounded. I! rand bent over quickly,
i "Hello! Who? oh, yes. Mr. Nolan.
\ No, sir, not yet. but I think we'll have

CHAPTER X.
BAND bung up the telephone
receiver with an anxious ex
pression on bis face. "Nolan
must keep away from this," he
mattered tensely. "Let him take a train
or go to sleep or bury himself if he
wants to. if Bartelmy or Dupuy gets
hold of him after I've shown my hand
there'll be the merry d? 1 to pay,
and If they Hud hliu they might suc
ceed in coaxing? I xcondcr if Solan tcill
stick; I icondcr if Solan tcill slick," ho
kept repeating over and over to himself.
The noise of voices raised in Indigna
tion broke In upon him from the outer
hall at his right. "Oh, that's a chest
nut," some one cried; "he's always out,
always when I come."
The editor glanced around and saw
Sylvester Nolau leading In bis friend
I Powell, the poet.
"You're not out, are you, old man?"
asked young Nolan of Brand. "Who's
that tly duck that tried to keep me
from coming In?"
"I'm sorry, Nolan; I'm very busy to
night, and you'll have to excuse me.
I'm very busy."
"Brandy, old boy, I came in on busi
ness. Want to get a job for my friend
B
roweii uere. He'8 u poet." lie drag
ged the wap eyed rhymester up to
Brand's desk.
The editor looked Powell over.
"We don't carry poets on the pay
rolls," he grunted.
"But Just look at this one. Po
wow. let Mr. Brand see your ode to the
opening of the Omaha exposition, lie
went In the competition with this."
rowel! handed the poem to Brand
"And 1 see he came out with It,"
pnorted the newspaper man.
"Yes, sir," agreed Powell faintly.
"People haven't time for poetry,"
commented Brand.
"That's what I've been trying to tell
Powow." put In Sylvester, "lie was
born after nls time."
"How would you like to be a report
er?" asked the editor.
Powell's eyes gleamed with a sickly
color that showed that he was en
thused.
"A reporter? Oh, yes, sir!" he said.
Brand took down the phone.
"Ilello! Give me night city editor,
please. Hello! That you? I've not a
cult here named I'owell. Please give
him a week's trial. Report to city ed
itor."
"Where Is he. sir?" asked Powell,
bewildered.
"You're a reporter now. Kind out."
"Yes, sir." He started toward the
hall door. *
"Over here, Powow!" cried Sylves
ter, leading him in the opposite direc
tion.
Joe Dillon now added to the man
agiug editor's troubles l>y again com- j
ing Into the olUce. ?
"Thank you. Mr. Brand," he began.
"Could you spare me a little car fare?" i
Li rand tossed blin a quarter. "Never i

you something to think about, and you
cau show him as much In a night as
hc'il k-aru in a month alone. Mr. Dil
lon. allow me to present you to Mr.
Sylvester Nolan. Mr. Dillon broke me
into the busiuess," said the editor to
the newspaper owner's sou.
Sylvester drew a ponderous wad of
bills from his |>ocket and offered the
top one to the old "down and outer."
"You want to handle my friend Po
wow with gloves," advised Sylvester.
"He's just full of temperament."
The old newspaper man Indignantly
refused the money which youtig Nolan
held out to him and pluuged out of the
office.
The poet stood a mute witness to
the proceedings.
"Go after him!" commanded Brand.
"Thank you, sir," and l'owell darted
frightened l]r after Dillon.
"Who Is that old Joker?" nsked Syl
vester of the editor.
"lie was the best reporter that the
Advance ever had."
"What's the matter with him?"
"Booze."
"Too bad! Well, a fellow ought to
learn to control himself." remarked
Sylvester pompously. "Now, Brandy,
old boy, 1 want to ask you Just one
more favor tonight, in reference to a
little actress friend of mine, Miss
, Guenevlere McKeiusle."
"Oh? come? don't"?
"Run her picture in a prominent
place, won't you?" Sylvester handed
Brand a photo. "Miss Guenevlere Mc
Kenzic. Don't you know her? She's
in the second row at the Tyroll, aud
It's a darn shame. I've got a libretto
for her later ou. Can't you help her
1 out and get her a small part now?"
"I'm afraid that is hardly in my
line."
"You'd be doing a favor to the
show, for she's good enough to be a
prima donna. She's been kept back by
Jealousy. Told me so herself. When
will you have it In? tomorrow?"
"I scarcely think we can do that
sort of thiug iu the Advance. We
don't print pictures of chorus girls

Sylvester broke In rellevedly, "Oh,

"Last year."

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 1 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
tom of my former trouble remaining.
I advise anyone afflicted with kidney
complaint to give Doan's Kidney Pills
a trial."
