(Continued from Wednesday)
"I desire to complain about the ar
ticle attacking iny father this morn
ing." the girl began.
"Yes?" answered McHenry.
"1 wish an apology for it."
"Is this a message from your fa
ther?"
"That's uot the polut. This Is tho
tlrst time lu his life that any one has
ventured to question his honor The
article Is false, aud 1 think your pa
per should apologize for it immedi
ately."
"Before saying as to that." returned
the managing editor, "I should have
to refer the matter to the new pro
prietor, Mr. Nolan. You know it is
not customary for a newspaper to
take back what it says."
The Judge's daughter raised her eye
brows lu surprise as she drew close to .
Mcllenry's desk, where he had resum
ed his seat.
"I should thiuk you'd have a good
many lawsuits." she suggested.
"Oh. no; not mauy. We go up to the
line, but we try not to step over It."
He picked up several newspapers from
his desk. "For instance"? scanning
the papers?"! dou't think your father
will feel inclined to sue us." He rose
as if to eud the interview.
Judith, however, was not to be thus
disposed of.
"1 dou't waut to detaiu you." she re
marked. "but 1 should like to ask you
who was responsible for that article."
She seated herself iu a chair which
McHenry indicated.
"We never tell the name of our writ
ers." answered the managlug editor.
Her father had diplomatically sug
gested to her that Wheeler ltraud might
h;ive written the story. This she found
ditlicult to believe. Hut she must be
convinced, and one of her motives In
visiting the newspaper had been to
ask him? to ask him to tell her that he
was uot the author of the new attack
on her father. She must see him and
learu the truth from his lips alone.
"Is Mr. Brand iu the oliice now';" she
asked.
"Yes, 1 think so."
"Would it be possible for me to see
liltuV"
"Why, yes, if you wish. I'll send
for him."
Mctleury summoned the bo.v and
told him to "ask Mr. Brand to couie
in."
"We've noticed"? she hesitated? "all
his friends have noticed that he's be
coming very radical lately." Judith
rose from the chair and stepped nerv
ously toward the editor's desk.
"Oh." he laughed, "they all get that
when they're young, like the measles."
"And that's something they all get
over, isn't it?" she asked eagerly.
"Yes." respouded McIIenry. stirring
as though to leave the room.
Judith stepped squarely in front of j
his desk.
"But I don't want to disturb you.
Caa't I go to his office?"
'He hasn't got any office, aud they're
all bunched in the local room in their
shirt sleeves smoking. You wouldn't
like It. We haven't a reception room."
McIIenry laughed as he spoke.
In his shirt sleeves, rolled to his el
bows, with quick steps and squared
shoulders. Wheeler Brand, one of the
ablest tneu on the city stall of the
Advance, strode into the office of the
managing editor through the door lead
ing from the city and telegraph rooms.
"Yes, sir." he greeted McIIenry.
Then he stopped short both iu his
steps and in his speech. lie had
caught sight of the managing editor's
visitor. "Why. Judith!" he gasped.
"What iu heaven's name are you doing
here? I"? At this point words failed
him, and be stood staring at her, with
his breast heaving violently ns the re
sult of his surprise.
The girl was also deeply disturbed in
spite of her previous knowledge that
she was to be confronted by the man
she loved.
McIIenry thought that the moment
had arrived wheu his presence was
no longer necessary.
"Miss Bartelmy has asked to see you
for a few minutes," be said, rising and
starting toward a door. "You may
talk here." A handful of proof sheets
rustled in bis grasp as he disappeared.
Wheeler Brand started toward the
girl.
"Is there anything the matter?" he
queried anxiously.
She hesitated before answering.
Then she spoke determinedly.
"Yes; two things. First, you did not
come to my reception this afternoon;
secondly, there Is that article about
father this morning."
"I couldn't get oIT from the office to
attend the reception, and 1 am awful
ly sorry." he protested. VBut as for
the story about your father? well, did
he send you here?"
"No. he didn't send me. But I
couldn't help seeing how disturbed he
was. and"?
"Then he knew you were coming?"
"Why, yes." Judith was trying hard
to understand what he meant by spell
ing out her father's knowledge of her
present mission, one which wus to her
decidedly unpleitsunt.
Wheeler was plainly Impressed, uud
unfuvortibly so. tit the girl's reply.
"Oh!" he ejaculated disappoiutedly.
The quickly thinking girl detected
the significant tone of the newspaper
writer's reply aud hastened to ex
plain.
"I heard my father say at dinner
that he feared there would be another
attack tomorrow," she said, "and I
hoped through you to prevent its pub
lication and to make the Advance
apologize for what it said this moru
lug. 1 don't see how your paper dares
to publish such things."
"But, Judith," he answered, "wo
couldn't dodge a story as big as that.
We had to prlut It. That's what we're
here for."
But she was still Insistent.
"Oh. of course, print the story, but
I mean the Insinuation all through.
Why, by using such uufalr means
uewspapers cau bring discredit on any
one. Mr. McHenry refused to apolo
gize. He wouldu't even tell me who
wrote It. Do you know?"
Braud gave a violent start. At first,
hi her preseut mood, he hardly dared
answer the girl. With a determined
effort he pulled himself together aud
answered her tjuestion.
"Yes. I know who wrote it."
"Who?" Judith leaned toward him,
gazing intently into his eyes.
"I wrote It." he annouueed.
Judith started back aghast.
"You. Wheeler? Why?" she cried
hysterically.
"I had no choice." lie struggled to
maintain his grip on himself.
"You had 110 choice?"
"Judith, when (his Lansing Iron case
first broke loose," Brand res|K>nded
firmly, "I saw straight off that It was
one of the slickest? well, that there
was a big story iu It. 1 didn't know
your father was involved iu this at
first. I just followed the path, and
when 1 saw where it was leading me 1
I wanted to turn back because of you,
but I couldn't." He stopped for a uio- '
ment, then went on: "No. 110. 1 could
not stop? not? even? for? you!"
"But It isn't loyal of you," was her
response. "It wasn't like you? to at
"/ wrote If, Judith ," he announced.
tack hiui suddenly in this way. It's |
almost as if you struck him from be- ,
hind. And do you not see. Wheeler,
that you are hurtiug me as much ns
you injure him 7 I ani his daughter,
Wheeler, and if you ruin my father
i you will ruin me."
She covered her face with her hands,
and her bosom heaved convulsively In
her anguish.
CHAFTEU II.
HEELER BRAND gazed at
the girl, and above his own
misery rose his sympathy and
thought for her whom he
to comfort, for the -girl of his
choice, whom duty said he must cause
to suffer. He yearned to take her in
his arms and wipe away the tears, but
be knew that she would repulse him.
He throbbed with the desire to prove
H> her his love by assuring her that
the attack on her father was ended?
but his duty whispered, "No."
And to himself he repeated the "No."
For he must go on, aud she must en
dure, and the Judge must pay the price.
The voice of au outraged people had
spoken through the pen of Wheeler
Brand, aud he was oue of those men
strong enough to refuse to take the
price of silence.
He led the girl he loved to a chair,
even as she sobbed and whispered,
"Wheeler, Wheeler, Wheeler," endear
ingly from her heart's depths. Brand
looked down on her with a world of
sadness in his eyes. He well knew,
| and the world would soon know, that
; those who sit In the high places must
pay the penalty for sin, even as the
lowliest among us who more blludly
goes astray.
Judith Bartelmy had been long
enough In society to learn the art of
the coutrol and the coucealuie/it of
??motions under many trying circum
j stances. Probably lu any other situa
tion than iu one where her father
I and the man she loved were so deeply
concerned, as iu the present, she
would have been able to retain a larger
degree of self composure. Several
minutes passed before she was able
to speak in evenly balanced tones.
"Wheeler." she liually said, "If any
one had told me tb>st you would or

Diy lather, against my family tier
Voire began to break again "against

ceuse your attack "
lira iid thought to palliate her. He
seated liluiHflt on a corner ot the man
uk>?K editor's desk and bent toward
her as she sat In a chair near him.
"Now, Judith, let me try lo explain,"
be said eutrcatlngly. "1 think 1 can
make you understand. You see, the
Lansing Iron company owned a lot of
valuable properties ore ranges, ma
chinery, railroad trackage, etc. It it
bad lieen managed hallway It wouid
dow be a wealth producing business,
but some ot our speculators down
town were trying to get hold ot it to
gamble with. They wanted to milk
it, as the saying is. by watering it.
They did have u stock market battle
or two, which profited nobody but the
lawyers on both sides. Hut they final
ly got It by Juggling It Into a receiv
ership. which they never could have
doue It a United States Judge had not
been willing to exceed his functlous.
That judge was your father.
"Since the works shut down," he
went on strongly, "the men are out of
employment, and the gamblers have
got rich because the company's gone
broke. That's Just what happened,
and that'*. all I said."
"Hut it wasn't your facts, I tell you
It was your insinuation that was
false."
"Not Insinuation- -Interpretation."
"Hut It wasn't true? It wasn't true."
"Ob. yes. It w::s true, and more."
Judith verged on the hysterical
again.
"It you loved me as you pretend to,
no ma Iter It you thought it true or not,
you could not have written that arti
cle." ,
"Can't you see that I wasn't writing
about your father, but about a United
Stales Judge who"?
She moved farther away from him.
"That's splitting hairs. Wheeler."
He walked to her side.
"Judith, please? please don't let's
quarrel about this."
The girl turned to him impulsively.
"Oh. Wheeler, we were on the
verge of It. weren't we?" He cast
his arms around her. "You're sorry,
aren't you 7" She looked fondly into
his face. "And you will take back
that article, won't you?"
"You mustn't ask me to do that; 1
can't." looking at her earnestly.
"You can't?"
"No."
Judith drew away from him a stop
or two She surveyed him coldly.

cried in amazement.
"1 most ccrialnly do!"
He was almost frantic. He grasped
her baud.

you go without your ring. You may
be Judge Bartelmy's daughter, but you
are going to be my wife. You've worn
my ring for a month, and you must
wear it forever!"
The girl passed his passionate ap
peal by without heeding it. She tossed
back her pretty head detiantly. snatch
ed the ring from her linger and threw
It on the managing editor's desk:
"I'll not wear it again." she exclaim
ed resolutely, "unless? until you come
to your tenses." So expressing herself,
she stalked majestically across the
room.
"Judith!" called Brand in despera
tion, fearing that she was about to
leave him.
"Will you do what I ask?" she
queried Imperiously.
"I cannot." he answered simply.
The Judge's daughter tossed her
head independently, caught her skirt
In her hand, turned her back swiftly
on Brand and walked indignantly
from the room.
Wheeler Brand, dazed, heartsick
and discouraged and torn by tbe emo
tions that welled within him. leaned
helplessly against the desk. After all.
be reasoned, what did it all matter?
There were lots of evil men In tbe
world, always had been, always would
be. What harm would it do If one dis
honest Judge were allowed to go un
molested. even If he happened to be a
United States Judge? Surely there
were other dishonest judges, and he
could not drive all of them off the
bench? no. Indeed. And. moreover,
this thankless task he had shouldered
would If he succeeded rob him of tbe
girl hie loved. It would rob him of the
love of the girl who loved him.

To thoroughly know the virtues of a

and I, therefore, cheerfully confirm
