CHAPTER IX.
T !> o'clock In the managing
editor's room lu the Advance
building Wheeler Brand and
I three other men, Howard
Hartley, Jo IT Thome, staff reporters,
and Rill, their much browbeaten un
derstudy, were Industriously at work.
At one side of the otliee diagonally
from the managing editor's desk was
a high mahogany desk which backed
against a wooden partition which cut
off a small room used as a "morgue,"
the place where newspaper and maga
zine clippings are kept for reference.
Through the partition a round hole
alHiut tlve inches lu diameter had been
cut with a handsaw, and on a table In
the morgue a camera had been rested
with the telescopic protuberance con
taining the lens projecting through the
hole lu the partition Into a private
mail box directly above the desk. The
door of this box. Into which were
plated letters arriving for the manag
ing editor during Ills absence, had
been unlocked. A Hue of shoe thread
had beeu fastened to the door of the
box and extended down behind the
desk to the tloor and across to the
left hand side of Brand's desk. A
slight tug on the thread would cause
the door of the mail box to open, ex
posing to the lens Brand's desk, his
chair and another chair which had
beeu placed at the right of the desk
uext to the telephone.
For several minutes the mysterious
preparations went on. Just what they
meant uo one but Brand could tell,
and he was strangely silent, except as
to directing what should be done.
Hartley was anxious to make cer
tain that the lens aimed directly at
Brand's desk, lie measured the line
with his eye.
"Get It?" called Jeff.
"No, not yet. Walt a minute," How
ard answered, dodging around quickly
toward the little "morgue." "1 haven't
got the focus right yet. Hold on!"
Jeff lighted a match, held It up and
stood between the two chairs.
"How's that?" .he cried.
The answering voice came back.
"Yes: that's the very thing. It's all
right now."
Brand stepped forward from a cor
ner of the room from whence he had
beeu watching the linal preparations
for the strange event that was to occur.
"Are you all set now. boys?" he
asked. "Is your cumcra In the right
place for the flashlight?"
"Yes. ulr!" crlod Jeff and Howard si
multaneously.
"The flashlight is planted here, sir,"
said Howard, pointing to a narrow pan
"I'm hungry."
In a shadowed spot on top of the ma
hogany desk and close to the leus.
"Have you tested this?" asked Brand.
"Yes. sir."
"Be careful, sir. or you'll explode
the tlash," warned Jeff as Brand light
ed a match to ascertain the location
of the powder.
"Go into room 4, boys, and wait till
I send for you," directed Brand.
Jeff and Howard went out. Brand
weut to his desk as the otlice boy,
Durkin, entered.
"Joe Dillon's here," said the lad.
"Drunk?"
"Just oue over."
"Broke?"
"Surel" The boy grinned.
Dillon, one of the -has-beens" char
acteristic of the type that prey on the
newspaper men at night In the big
cities, would ordinarily have received
short shrift from a btvsy man like
Brand, but Dillon, an ex-newspaper
reporter, had once given Brand, when
a beginner, some valuable pointers,
which the now managing editor had
never forgotten.
"Tell him to come In." ordered Brand.
He reached for Ule ofllce toleuhojio
nnfl cn'lca tlio ntglitclty editor. "T!fe
Patriot bus got tbf towu skinned on
shipping," bo wild. "Do you know
who's doing It for tlieiu? Well, I think
you'd better blre blin."
Joe Dillon wandered lu.
"Good evening. Mr. Brand," he said
weakly. Durklu, who bad summoned
htin, followed blui In.
"Well, Joe, what Is It?"
"Walt a minute, Durkln. Got a
story for us. Joe?" queried Brand sym
pathetically.
Dillon staggered forward.
"Better sit down." cautioned Brand.
"Same old story, eh?"
"No. I'm hungry."
"Durkln, go get one hot roast beef
sandwich and a big pot of black cof
fee and see that he gets them."
"Yes, sir." The lad sped away after
dexterously catching a quarter which
Braud tossed him.
"I wish I was going in there to work
with the boys Instead of eating char
ity grub," began Diiion plaintively. "I
know you mean all right, Mr. Brand.
I've tried and tried again to light it
off. but It's useless. I can't. It's too
late. I'm a dead one. The hard stuff,
the Ave cent whisky, has got me. You
never heard how this thing started,
did you, Mr. Brand? If it hadn't
l>een for my wife"?
"Oh. cut it out!" cried Brand, and
Dillon shambled out of the room.
Downs hurried In. He had become
night editor when the shakeup oc
curred at the time of Brand's promo
tion.
"Young Bobbie Doollttle pinched
again for speeding." lie rattled off.
"Three show girls lu the auto. All of
'em lit up. Bobbie weeping because
the girls bad to miss the theater, anil
his mother's at me nil evening to
keep it out. What'il I do?"
Brand tunned back and smiled.
"Well, It was on her account we kept
out bis partial elopement with her
French maid and the time he kissed
the head waiter at the St. Uonore hotel |
In lieu of a tip. and I guess? well, print
this one. It may help brace him up."
"Oh. and that disappearance case,"
reminded Downs. "The girl's come
back? old gag. visiting her friends in
Jersey, but she's been off on the suit
case circuit all right."
"Ilomo now?" Jerked the managing
editor.
"Yep."
"Think she'll stay there?"
"She might."
"Well, she can't If wo print this, so
let's forget It."
"But we've had a man on it two
days," persisted Downs. "We're the
only paper that's got It."
"Well, we won't be the one to kick
her down," pronounced Brand, turning
his head away to end the conversation.
"All right. Just as you say."
The telephone bell rang. Brand took
off the receiver.
"Ilello! Tell Mr. Dupuy I'm busy!"
he cried after taking the message.
"What? Send blm In. That's all.
Downs. See that they tnke care of
Dillon, will you?"
The night editor nodded In the af
firmative and gazed rather curiously
at Brand as be went out.
Dupuy came into Brand's office with
a most circumspect and deferential air.
Dressed lu evening clothes, carrying
his silk bat lu bis band and with a
boutounlere of hothouse violets lu his
lapel, be gave every Indication of be
ing the society figure that bis name
and wealth had made possible for him.
The lawyer lobbyist walked directly
to the desk at which Ilrand was seat
ed. In reply to the managing editor's
salutation be bowed stltliy and leaned
forward over the desk.
Several moments elapsed berors l?u- i
puy spoke. He was trying to put his |
opening words lu the most Judicious
language, and well he might hesitate I
when oue considers the nature of his
evil errand.
"The gentleman who was coming to
see you tonight," ut last he said care
fully, "has had to go to the opera with
his daughter. IIo has asked me to
come lu his stead."
An expression of complete bewilder- j
meut spread over the other's face.
"A gentleman? What gentleman?" i
he interrogated.
Dupuy was momentarily nonplused.
"Why. the gentleman who? ah, with
whom you made au appointment for 0 j
o'clock this evening? here? at your of
fice."
Brand still refused to show his hand.
"I should be very glad to hear what
you have to say, Mr. Dupuy. but, I
frankly, I don't know what you are
driving at."
The visitor was annoyed. He was i
positive that Bartelmy would not send 1
hint on a wild goose errand. Surely
the Judge and Brand had come to
terms regarding the silence of the Ad
vauce as to the Lansing Iron case de
cision. The editor was playing with
him now, he kuew? dangling him on a
verbal hook to tautallzo him.
"Oh, come, you know who I mean?
Bartelmy!" snapped the Judge's despl- i
I cable tool.
"Judge Bartelmy!" exclaimed Brand
in surprise. "Well, what about him?"
Dupuy produced a card, which the
editor glanced at.
"What's this?" he asked. Then he
read : " 'Dupuy will represent me.' In
what?"
He started to put the card in his
pocket.
"I'erhaps you would better let me
have that so I can retum It to him."
Dupuy reached eagerly for the card,
which Brand slowly extended to him. i
"This refers to that transaction of
which you and he were speaking this
afternoon," continued the lawyer.
Brand laughed loudly.
"Well. Dupuy, I'm a poor hand at
guessing riddles. I give It up. What's
the answer?"
[TO BE CONTINUED.]
"Fight today's temptation as it
comes" is good advice. And if it
seems to be only trifling flght It the
, harder.
ILL'S PIOTUBE
IN HE PAPERS
Bill Leslie is another Haines res
ident who has broken into print in
the Seattle papers. In recent issues
of both the Star and Post-Intelllgen
cer .Mr. Leslie's picture has appeared
under a big head and over a good
sized story which tells how Bill, "a
well known contractor, constructing
large bridges and wharves and expos
ed to all kinds of weather while look
ing after his work suffered continuous
ly from rheumatism and stomach
trouble for twelve years, being bed
ridden a good part of the time."
It seems that Bill took a "bake
oven cure" and was miraculously ro
lieved from his aches and pains. It's
a cinch that he was relieved of a wad
of filthy lucre in the bargain. ? Haines

Alackan Glaciers.
An interesting fact about Alaskan
glaciers Is that some are "dend" nnd
others are "alive." Davidson glacier,
which is really a tongue of the Muir
glacier, has been ascended by travel
ers for a number of years. It is a dead
glacier, having a moraine of several
miles between it and the sea. Looking
at it from the boat, it represents a
kaleidoscopic appearance as the sun
shines upon It. and the surface seems
scratched with tiny pin lines. These
are in reality deep crevices, which
must be approached cautiously. foi?
they are lurking pitfalls for the un

The Kind Alaskan Readers Appre

Curt* 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
hero in this locality. Peoulo who test
iflcd years ago to relief from backache
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 that 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 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."
