Then the tDougnt or me einnuaiiiHtn
that hnil buoyed dim as he wrote the
?tory that had exposed Judge Hartel
my came to blm and cluug to him. The
Inspiration In doing a strong man's
work for the puhiu* good enthused the
spirit of Wheeler Kraud. raptured his
soul. The steady lignt burned once
more lii Dls eyes lie shook niniselt
together? fastened Ills old time grip on
himself. As for Judith. lie would do
his duty, aud he would wlu Uer yet.
When the managing alitor of the Ad
vance re-entered his otllce aud walked
briskly toward Ills desk he found
Wheeler Brand looking eagerly over a
notebook which, quite unknowu to Mc
llenry. contained the data for an ar
ticle on the I. a using Iron case even
more damaging to Judge Hartel my than
the one already primed.
"Well, did yon settle It?" asked Me
Henry.
Brand looked up and started toward
the door.
"Yes. sir." he answered, and he was
gone.
At i his Juncture Downs, the city ed
itor. came Inio the managing editor's
room, lie addressed Mc Henry rapidly.
"Water main burst on Morton street:
drowned seven dago kids in the base
ment of a tenement; mothers, scrub
women. gone out to work and locked
them In: water rising.' He drew close
to the desk. "Children, climbing stairs
to escape, found huddled in eucb oth
er's arms on top step, drowned! All
but the youngest hanging on to a
striug of beads; must have died pray
ing!"
The managing editor's face immedi
ately lightened, aud he pounded his
desk enthusiastically.
"Good! Good! By glory, that's a
dandy! That saves our lives! Now
we'll have a pa|N*r tomorrow! We'll
go the limit on ibis. Did you send a
photographer';"
"Yes. sir. I did."
McHeury seized the office telephone.
"Night editor! Oh. hello! Cut three
columns uio.e out of those shavings
We've got a live Seven dago kids
drowned. I'irst time they ever saw
water In their !i\es. Kun three col
uuius!" He hung up the receiver and
turned to the city editor.
"Put In three leads and make li
stick out like a sore thumb. And. say.
put In a black faced bulletin saying
the Advance will receive subscriptions
for their families."
Durkiu eutered with a bundle of .
proofs.
"And. say. Downs," added Mcnenry.
"print in bold faced type that the Ad
vance will start the subscription with
S1U0"
"Mr. Dupuy is downstairs." announc
ed Durkin.
The managing editor could not sup- .
press a sour expression which crept
across bis face. "Dupuy. eh?" he
grunted half audibly. "Wonder what
be wants around here now? He's a
regular buttinski."
McHenrv knew Dupuy in a business
way. knew be was counsel for several
of the big mercantile establishments
which advertised in the Advance aud
that the lawyer had represented vari- '
ous corporations at the state capital.
"Well. 1 suppose I'll have to see him,"
he dually resolved. "Show Mr. Dupuy
In." he called to the boy.
"Good eveuing." was Dupuy's greet
ing to McHeury as be eutered and
placed bis overcoat on a chair.
"Good evening. Mr. Dupuy. What
ran I do for jou?" The visitor seated
himself at the right of NlcHenry's
desk.
"McHenry." begau Dupuy decidedly.
Mr. l>upuji iron downstairs.
"somebody on your paper has been
making bad broaks lately, particularly
the one thU morning."
"What one rltls morning?"
"The Judge r.arteimy story, of
course."
"Help!" sang out McHenry. "I've
been getting that nil day."
"It's 110 Joke, McHeury." snapped
Dupuy.
"It was a mistake." responded the
managlug editor.
"Mistake! Who was responsible for
it?" leaulug forward.
"Oh. it Just slipped through In the
rush."
"Tell that to the marines." retorted
Dupuy sarcastically, lie paused. "Who
slipped It through?"
There was another pause.
Mr-Henry began to assert himself.
"Excuse me. Dupuy." he asked point
edly. "But how does the Bartelmy
story affect you?"
"Some of my clients have a very
high regard for the Judge. Your story
grossly misrepresents bim."
"Yes. I suppose so."
"This growing tendency to bring our
Judiciary Into disrespect is a dangerous
symptom ot the unrest beueath the
surface." spoke Dupuy pompously.
"The federal bench Is the ultimate
bulwark."
Mcllenry laughed.
"Oh. capital In distress! Yes, I know ;
all about that."
Dupuy stirred Indignantly.
"There was no occasion for that re
mark." he shot forth tartly.
MclJenry saw that Dupuy was very
much in earnest, und the management
of the Advance, as he had previously
known It? representatives ot an in
surance company? would have desired
to gratify the wishes of the powerful
"It's no jnhc. HcUcnry."
Interests behind Dupuy. So far as tlie
now owner was concerned, the man
agiUK editor could uot tell what bis at
titude would be In the matter, but be
bad received uo Instructions as yet to
change tbe policy of tbe paper. Plain
ly tbe course of wisdom, be reasoned,
would be to net toward Dupuy as he
had acted in tbe past, wheu the insur
ance company bad Insisted that tbe
paper be operated ou a purely com
mercial basis. Yes. be would deal
carefully with Dupuy? that is, with
Dupuy's clients.
"No offense meaut." explained Mc
Henry. "Well, we'll have nothing
more about bartelmy. Will that satis
fy your people':"
"Thank you. Mcllenry. That will be
eminently satisfactory both to them 1
and to me as tbelr legal adviser."
"All right; that settles that."
"Oh. uot quite!" said Dupuy. raising
his hand warnlngly. "There's one
more polut. Who was responsible for
the story V"
"Oh. let's pnss tnat:*'
But Dupuy could not be turned aside.
McHenry had begun to give way to
him. and the lawyer Intended to fol
low up his advantage.
"Very well; it's up to you." he said.
"But 1 waut you 10 realize, whatever
happens, there is no personal animosi
ty lu the matter."
"What do you mean by 'whatever :
happens?"' asked the managing editor
quickly.
The visitor was a living picture of
complacency.
"How much advertising did you get
from our coucern last year'/"
The mauaglng editor began to dis
cern more clearly the hidden club in
Dupuy's words and demands.
"Oh. I can't say as to that."
"About 530.000 worth, wasn't It?*'
"Yes. I should think so." admitted
McHenry.
"Well, there's the auswer," exclaim
ed Dupuy triumphantly. "As a matter
of busluess. McHenry, if you are not
friendly to uiy clients, why. you can
hardly expect them to be friendly to
you. and I shall explain to the uew
proprietor of the Advance. Mr. Nolan,
the reasons for the sudden drop lu tils
advertising. He is a rich man. and
he probably will not like to know that
he is in the way of losing a good deal
of money to further a radical propa
ganda which he probably abhors.
Come. McHenry. for your owu sake
be reasonable. Who wrote the story?
Surely you <ire not going to consider
a mere reporter lu a matter so vital '
to our luterests. Who was It?"
McHenry surrendered.
"A young fellow uamed Wheeler
Brand."
Dupuy rose and towered above Mc
Henry as he sat at bis desk.
"I thought so. I only wanted to
make sure," he said. "He's a danger
ous type. Comes from good enough
people, but ambitious to get into the
limelight by stirring up . the mob.
Thought he nnj.r* finve n?nrn?Hi sense
by now, l?n li seems lie h. isn't. (iiu*ss
he never will: these fanatics never do.
??We consider him the best Investi
gator In town.1' warmly. In praise ot
Brand.
"He's entirely too zealous. Do you
catch me?" asked Dupuy. leaning over
McHenry and gazing significantly into
his eyes.
The managing editor caught Dupuy's
meaning and stared at him blankly In
his surprise.
"You don't mean"?
Dupuy smiled coldly.
"Ycs?l mean-get rid of him!"
CHAPTER III.
IIE managing edlror again be
gan to weigh Just what signif
icance the demand of Dupuy
had. He directed his glance
fixedly, and a long pause en
sued after the lawyer lobbyist's abrupt
demand that Wheeler Brand be dis
charged from the Advance.
Dupuy returned Mcllenry's stare,
and his discerning eye and brain en
abled tiim to read the workings of Mc
llenry's mind, lie telt Instinctively
as he glared at McHenry that be had
the managing editor "on the run."
During the period ot ( lie insurance
company's ownership there had been
no doubt (hat the decision of the man
aging editor ot the Advance would
have been In raver ot impiiy and tils
demand for the discharge of Wheeler
Brand And the in wyer. like McHenry,
knew nothing ot Hie new owner that
would change the attitude ot the pa
per.
Dupuy was right in his estimate ot
Mcllenry's weakness. The lawyer lob
byist was playing In rare fortune, in
deed. to discover In bis opponent a
man who dared uot stand for the
right. He well kuew that he would
uot tind the same sort of man In a
position of Importance In many other
newspapers or the laud. Well. too. did
be know "the power of the press"
throughout all America, for he bad
learned at bitter cost that it was the
foe of all the Ed Dupuys and all those
that employed tl.em to serve their
ends.
Finally McHenry spoke In answer to
Dupuy "s demand.
"Let us give Brand one more
chancel" protested McHenry. "I'll put
him on baseball or water front. Come,
now."
"1 will be candid with you. I was
instructed to make an exninple of
somebody for this morning's story.
Perhaps, though, n good hauling over
might do for this time. Call him In
now. It's his last chance."
A boy entered.
"Ask Mr. Brand to step lu."
"I'd rather take a licking than do
this." protested McHenry.
Dupuy was uu sympathetic.
"Well, he's only got himself to
thank!" he snort ed.
Wheeler Brand came In.
"Mr Brand." began the managing
editor, "there Is a kick being made on
the Bartelmy story of this morning."
"Yes. sir: 1 suppose so." Brand looked
up and saw Dupuy, and the reporter's
face showed that lie understood.
"1 forward the kick to you. indorsing
It O. K?" said McHenry. "In other
words, the kick goes."
"Why. wbat"
"Thls is a practical world." Inter
posed Dupuy.
X
sgg
at him
Brand grew bitter, ror well no Knew
tbe practices of Dupuy.
"Oh. yes; I know the patter? a world
of live and let live. We must be very
careful before imputing motives, eh.
Mr. Dupuy 7 Docs not tbe good book
say. "Let him that is without sin among
you oust tbe lirst stone? at United
States judges.' "
"Wheeler. Wheeler." cried McHenry,
"we only ask yon in to talk it over
calmly!"
"That man has hit me in the dark
before." exclaimed Rratid. "This is
the lirst time that he has come into tbe
light."
?'I desire to say (bat my clients." put
in Dupuy. "like a great many other of
the ? ab ? subscribers ? to this |?aper.
were disappointed at what they con
ceived to be an unwarrantable attack
full of insinuations about one of tbe
most distinguished members of the
United States bench, and they wish
merely as readers of the paper to ex
press the hope that nothing of the sort
will occur again, in which case they
are willing to overlook this morning's
article entirely? to. lu fact, regard It
merely as a mistake, a mistake made
without malice."
"You mean 1 am to have another
chance to hold my Job if I'll be good
from now on?" asked Brand.
Dupuy once more became complacent.
"Such, I believe, is Mr. Mchenry's
decision," he announced calmly.
"You certainly have your gall, Du
puy," cried Brand in menacing tones,
"to think you can muzzle me for $40 a
week. I've paid more than that for tbe
privilege of lighting you."
The lawyer turned quickly to the
managing editor.
"You better let him go. McHenry,"
ue suggested. "He's a crank."
Wheeler Brand was amazed at the
way In which Alcllenry allowed Du
puy to inllueuce him.
"Does be give you orders?" he asked
meaningly of the managing editor.
"Yes. my boy; he does, and I accept
your resignation."
The reporter was by no means
daunted by his discharge.
"I'm sorry for you." he cried, inclin
ing toward McHenry.
Dupuy laughed significantly.
"Reserve your sympathy for your
self, young man." he advised tbo
young newspaper writer.
"Reserve your sympathy for Bar
telmy; he'll need It before long." was
his cutting retort.
"Oh: Is that so?" sneered Dupuy.
"Go west aud grow up with the coun
try. for ir you hang around here to
hurt Bartelmy don't forget that crimi
nal libel Is punishable with arrest."
"Surry. *?l?r" limn."' spoke McHeory
kindly. "If | didn't hare a family I'd
go west with ymi."
"If li wusu'i Tor men having fami
lies." put In Mupu.v philosophically,
"tbere'd he a revolution."
Brand straightened UP and. with a
contemptuous eipreJslon on bis face,
started toward the door.
"You've got more heart than sense,
McHeury." was the parting shot
which he hurled at the managing edi
tor.
"Pretty tough on a reporter to Ore
hint for 'scooping' the towu on a big
story." said the managing editor.
"Oh. pshaw!" grunted Dupuy.
A boy entered with a card. Dupuy
crossed to a chair and picked up his
overcoat.
"Mr. Nolan, sir." the lad announced,
with an amusing grimace. "He's the
new boss, and he's got a couple o'
mitts on Mm like Jim Jeffries. Gee.
hut I'll bet Nolun Is tbirt with tb'
wallop, all right!"
