"Well, ttiis'is getting lo Oe u pretty
serious affair. We can't be too sure
about our tacts."
"Mr. Nolan, Judge Barteliuy Is not
ouly a dishonest Judge, but Ue seems
to bave a destructive lutlueuce on
every one uear nnu. He's corrupt aud
cormptlng, not ouly lu his public but
lu bis private life."
"Wasn't- wasn't It bis daughter that
you were ?Miuagwl to?"
"Yes. It was. aud tie's iislnc ber just
as be did her mother before tier."
"You amaze lue. What do you
mean?"
Brand took a deep breatb.
"Why, be surrounded ber mother
with machine politicians and shady
financiers aud crooked lawyers. He
sent her to the state capital when be
wantvd to be senator, but It was Im
possible; to Washington w hen lie warn
ed to be minister to France, and she
failed, and again when he wanted to
be Judge, and she succeeded, and when
she found out that he was using his
Judicial office to steal and that she bad
only been a lobbyist for his rotteu
schemes"?
"Well?"
"Well. It killed her. Mr. Nolan, and
now he's using his daughter In the
same way. He's lllllng his house with
corporation Jackals like Ihipuy. He
sends her here to muzzle you by work
ing on your wife and daughter. He
hates me, but he would let her marry
me to have his enemy in the latnlly
and make hltn silent."
"Why don't you go to the girl and
tell her?" suggested the newspaper
owner.
"About her mother and why she
died?"
"Well, perhaps not. Hut 1 hope you
won't follow the Hartelmy story auy
further. I'll be Just as well pleased."
"I've got to follow Ir, Mr. Nolan. 1
can't stop." ejaculated Brand. "I've
got the goods on him now. I've got a
story that will drive him off the bench
when we print It."
"What?" half rising.
"True; every word of It." Brand
paced nervously across the room.
"For God's sake. Wheeler, don't go
off at half cock!" cried Nolan.
"Half cock! Why. 1 tell you I've got ,
the tacts. I re
been working on
It for months."
"Now, llsteu to
me. You're u

convince you?" excitedly. "If heshonld
offer ine a bribe 10 kill this story
would you acknowledge then that he's
a crook?"
"YVUy, yes. ot course I would."
"Will you let me print that story in
my own way and promise uot to in
terfere?"
I "Yes. But the girl," Nolan reminded
I him? "bow do yon think she'll teel it
you print that story?"
But Braud was uot to be swerved
from his purpose.
i "It cau't be helped. I've got to go
on. Somehow you know the thought
comes to ine that perhaps It all uiay
turn out lor the best."
"Well. I hope so." commeuted the
newspaper owner, "but, man alive, this
story y??u"?
He was forced to cease abruptly, for
! Judge Bartelmy and Ed l>upuy entered
the drawing room aud drew near.
CHAPTER VIII.
T1HE abruptness with which
Brand separated from Nolan
as they appeared aroused the
* ? ? ' suspicions of both the judge
; and his lobbyist satellite. However,
they little imagined the pronounced
, seriousuoss of the conversation I hey
: had luterruptcd. in the inlnd of each
| ran the thought that the Advance's
, proprietor aud his editor had been ?!!??
j cusslug the proposal to elect Nolan to
| the Oak L>oor clul. Even a failure lu
1 this laudable venture they would have
I consldertd n serious setback, but prob
ably had they an Intimation regarding
the story Brand wanted to write and
i the effort that was to be made to de
| tect the Judge In offering a money
, bribe they would have exhibited less of
the easy assurance that marked their
re-entrunce into the drawing room.
"Mr. Nolan. I'm afraid I must be go
ing." said Bartelmy. "I hope to see
you at my house soon, and you, too.
Wheeler."
Nolan rose from his chair.
"Judge, can you spare tne a few mo
ments?" put In Braud resolutely.
The Judge gave a look of surprise.
"Certainly, my boy; cortalnly. Wih
you excuse mo?" turning to Nolan.
Nolun, surprised ut tho readiness of
Brand to boglu on tho plan to ontrap
ii:trtelniy, readily assented and pro
ceeded Into the library with Dupuy.
"Well, Wheeler, whut can I do for
you?" asked Judith's father.
The young man stepped close to tho
other and faced him squarely.
"Judge, how about your latest de
cision in tho Lauslug Iron ease today?"
he usked.
Bartelray started back In surprise.
"It was in accordance with the stat
utes and the constitution," he llually
said.
"The supreme court of the United
States was at variance with you lu a
similar case," advised Brand.
"Sir," indignantly, "I decline to dis
cuss out of court questions relating to
my conduct 011 the bench."
The Judge moved as though to go.
"You weren't so particular this morn
ing."
Bartelray began to lose his confident,
easy pose.
"1 fall to comprehend you," he an
swered.
"Iiarly this morning, between 1
o'clock and 3," went 011 the unrelenting
editor.
The Judge turned bis head to one
side and tugged nervously at. ills gray
beard.
"A reporter for the Advance saw you
come out of your house ut four min
utes to 1 and walk to a house 011
Washington avenue that belongs to tho
attorney for the Lansing Iron corpora
tion."
Bart el my turned his back on Brand,
a furtive look coming into his eyes as
he did so.
"You knocked at the servants' door,
Judge," continued the editor. "This
man admitted you. One hour and fifty
seven minutes later you left that house
by the same door aud returued home
rapidly on foot. You kept your coat
collar turned up, and, contrary to your
usual custom, you wore a slouched hat
pulled down over your eyes. Half an
hour later Dupuy came out of the same
house, 'feu hours later you handed
down your decision reversing on a
technicality the judgment of the lower
court lu the Lansing Iron case aud
freezing out the small stockholders lu
favor of the Insiders, as usual. Those,
Judge Bartelmy, are my facts!"
Bartelray made a desperate effort to
retain his self control and to command
his ability to think clearly and effec
tively in this dire emergency. At last
he spoke after minutely scrutinizing
the accusing ficure of Brand before
him.
"It's easily explained, Mr. Brand."
he said In houeyed tones. "It's a lie;
that is ail it is. Your reporter lied."
"I was the reporter." exclaimed the
accuser lu a supremely contemptuous
manner, and as he spoke he wondered
and marveled that such a man as the
betrayer, Bartelray, could be the fa
ther of such a girl as Judith? Judith,
whom he was even uow, he was con
vinced, putting away from his arms
and bis love for all time.
The false Judge paled. His mouth
became parched, llad he not leaned
against a chair for support it is likely
that Ills knees would not have retained
enough strength to hold hliu up. The
Jig was up. Plainly the end was in
sight. Indeed, it had already arrived
unless? unless? Yes, there was one
possible way out? if Brand would lis
ten to the proiKjsal. Listen? Every
man bad Ills price. Dupuy had told
lilni so. He knew it anyway, and
Brand was poor. He was ambitious
too. All, reasoned the false Judge,

"I was the reporter, Judfje Burtelmy."
ert.v ami ambition. Few could over
come It honestly; few ever bad, ever
would. And I am rich?
"Well, what do you propose to do?"
lie asked of Brand, putting it up to
the other man to lead the conversation
at tills point. Just as a clever tactician
should.
"That depends," answered Brand
doubtfully, a trifle weakly, sinking
thoughtfully Into n chair beside a ta
ble.
Bartelmy detected at once the note
of doubt and weakness in Brand's re
ply and questioned to himself what it
might portend.
"Ou what?" asked the judge cnreful
ly. trying to analyze the mental proc
esses of his opponent, who stared at
him across the table.
Brand spoke deliberately, In low
voice.
"On whether you're willing to meot
me halfway."
Bartelniy's hopes immediately surged
| high. Ha, as plain a bid for a price &?
he had over heard, and he had heard

How bo bnd deceived every ono! yes,

formers tbo judgo bnd mot? Just like
some of bis political friends who start
ed to clean tip certain conditions, only
to be retulned to let them exist as they
were. But Brand was the cleverest
one of the lot by fur, uud probably be
was to divide the proceeds of this
bribe with Nolan. Oh, they were a
cunning pair! Had even fooled Dupuy,
who thought them dangerous. And
what a Mou-lu-law Brand would make!
Yes, he could have Jlidiih; he was
worthy to possess the reigning beauty
of a great city. So argued to himself
the false Judge, and be said:
"Of course I am willing to meet you
halfway, but it all depends on whether
we understand eacb other."
"Your decision was doubtless of some
value t<? you nml If I nm willing to I
keep silent aliont Its antecedent clr
cunistnnoes then" Ltrand looked the
Judge in the eye expectantly.
Itartelmy felt relieved. lie felicitat
ed himself on the fact that his Judg
ment bad been correct.
"Yes; you"? He halted.
"Why"? Brand paused.
"Well?" queried the judge Irrltatedly.
"There you are," responded Brand
simply, his eyes meeting those of the
Jurist.
Bartelmy glanced cautiously at tbo
editor, seeking for signs of deception,
of a trap, but lie found them not.
"Mr. Brand, what do you want?" he
asked sharply.
"What's it worth to you?"
"I would prefer you to set the tig
ure."
"So."
"IIow about $10,000?" asked the
Judge.
"Yes," agreed Brand, rising? "in cash
tonight."
"Bather short notice for such a sum,"
protestlngly. "Where shall 1 see you?"
"At my ollice."
"Your otllce? the Advance! No, no.
I prefer you to come to my chambers
about noon tomorrow. We shall bo
quite private there."
"1 can't wait that long for it, Judge.
I've got to have It tonight."
"Oh, is it something of that sort?
Well, then, come to my house after
dinner."
"But I've got to be at my otllce," In
sisted the editor.
"I hardly like to go there. Sir.

Cures tliat lust are cures that tell, i
To thoroughly know the virtues of a i

here in this locality. People who test

clare that relief was permanent and
the cure perfect Can any Alaskan 1
sufferer longer doubt the evidence? i
J. Prenatt, 311 Third Avo., N., Se

ceived from Doan'u Kidney Pills over
three years ago, has been permanent
and I, therefore, cheerfully confirm
the public statement 1 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."
