CHAPTER XII.
IDNHJHT in the rooms of a
leading dally paper in a big
r\s?- city Is not a time wheu peace
1 ful slumber Is in order for
those who are concerned in the busi
ness of producing the paper. It is the
time when trained brains and trained
hands are exerted to the extreme limit
of their capacity to set the very latest
news Into shape, into type. Into the
press, luto the mall wagons and "ou
the street."
And It 1s In the composing room
where the brunt of the battle Is borne
In the ilual hours In which Is complet
[ ed the record of a world's doings and
undoings for a day. Masses of "copy"
swirl upward in the tubes or are car
ried in by boys from the city editorial
room. The typesetting machines click,
click, click. In unceasing monotony,
and the proofreaders scan columns of
"green proofs" with a rapidity, when
under pressure, that would amaze the
uninitiated obsei ver. The "makeup"
| men cluster firound the cumbersome
! cables or "stones" on which the forms
are made up, lifting in the metal Hues
of type here, making corrections or
shifting cuts there and locking the
forms to be shunted Into the stereotype
room, where the paper matrices will
be made. When the matrix is placed
In the casting box the molten stereo
type metal Is poured in. and within a
very few minutes the cylindrical
plates, hardened quickly In the cast
ing box bv the pouring of cold water
Into the Jacket, are locked on the cyl
inders of the gigantic duodeeuple
press and ready to whirl off over 100
copies of a paper per second, all print
ed. pasted, folded and counted,
j Midnight in the offices of the Ad- i
! vance on the night that Judge Bartel- ,
! my's photograph was taken with $10,
| 00*) of bribe money In his hands found
the staff of the paper in all depart
ments working us probably they had
never worked before, except ou elec
tion night. The story required con- ;
slderable time for preparation. The
notes of Howard and Jeff, the two re
porters who recorded the conversation
of Brand and I '.artel my. had to be
translated from shorthand into Eng
lish. Then au introduction ami a
head had to be written, and the art
department had to break all previous
I records in turning out a cut made
I from the photograph resulting from
the flashlight.
In the composing room meu were
working like galley slaves to set the
great Bartelmy exposure story into
type and Into the forms. The com
posing room in the Advance building
was a "double decker"?!, e.. a second
story had been built in the rear part
of the room to accommodate the proof
readers. This second story was really
but a half story, extending out over
a portion of the composing room, nnd
the walls were partitions, the lower
half of wood aud the upper half of
class windows.
On the lower floor the linotype ma
chines were set In rows. A steam table
loomed on one side. On another table,
an ironbound one. rested the galleys
containing matter for the night's edi- ,
tlon of the paper. At the extreme left
of the room a wooden partition shut
off the small office that the managing
editor used at night when he stiperln
: tended the makeup proceedings. A
door opeued into this small room from
' the outer hall, close to a door open
; Ing from the hall Into the composing
1 room itself. At the opposite end of
the compartment a door opened into
the composing room. In bis small I11
closure Brand, the managing editor,
had a desk and a telephone. Adjoin
ing the partition, which shut him off
; from the composing room and on the
outside of It. was a desk used by the
copy cutters, who cut the pages of
manuscript? after they had been past
ed together? Into "takes." A take Is
one of the sections Into which a story
Is cut. so that several compositors can
work on different parts of the same
story simultaneously, resulting In the
saving of considerable time In setting
It up.
? The typesetting machines clicked off
i rapidly the words, sentences and para
graphs of the Bartelmy "beat" and
the other stories which hail to be
crowded into the "mail edition." Braud
was In his little room at the right,
reading the proof of the introduction
of the account of the accusation of the
United States Judge, which introduc
tion he had chosen to write himself.
McHenry, the dc|>oscd managing ed
itor and now Brand's assistant, was at
the forms with the makeup men.
A boy rushed in with a cut for Mc
Henry. The busy editor squinted at J
It and waved the boy to one side.
"Why do they send us this baled hay
when we've sot a live one?" he said
disgustedly.
Downs came In from the city room.
"That Clinton street tire Is getting
better every minute," he said to Mc
Henry. "We ought to have at least
four columns on it."
McHenry glared at the speaker.
"Are vou crazy. mauV" lie exclaimed. I
"Do you think we use rubber type?
You'll have to keep It iu three."
Downs was dissatisfied.
"All right. This shop is going to the
d?i," lie answered, shaking his head
negatively. He went out of the eom
poslug room.
Mclienry went over to one of the
makeup stones.
"Where are the cuts for the Chicago
and Bryan jump heads? 1 eau't tiud
them anywhere," he asked.
"Here they are," answered one of
the makeup men.
"All right. They go there." He point
ed to a space in one of the forms as
a hoy handed him another cut. Mc
lienry held It up to the light and hur
ried into lira lid's ottice with it. He
laid It proudly 011 the managing edi
tor's desk.
"That's a wonder, Mac!" pronounced
Brand.
Mclienry agreed.
"Yes; you can almost count the
money In old Burtelmy's hand!" he ex
claimed. and he peered closely once
more at the metal slab.
Brand meditated a moment.
"I'm going to change the makeup on
that page," he decided. "Tut this cut
at the top of the page, so that when
the papers are folded on the news
stands every one that passes by will
see Bartelmy offering a bribe of $10,
000 to suppress the truth about him
self. Is your story all up yet?"
"Yes. It's In the form."
"Then go finish it off and send It
down to the stereotyping room."
Mclienry turned away.
"Won't this make the Patriot sick?"
he said as he left. "They'd give the
shirts off their backs to beat us 011 a
story like this or to keep us from
doing It to them."
As Mclienry went out of the door
into the composing room Sylvester
Nolan dashed Into Brand's room from
the hall through the other door. The
lad was plainly excited, his face show
ing 1111 amount of animation that, for
him, was a decided uovelty. His eyes
Unshed and his breath came In short
gasps. Indicating that he had been
hurrying.
"Where's my father, Mr. Brand?
Where Is he';" he gasped.
Brand suspected something of the
Nolan sou's errand.
"I'ui afraid you'll have to find him,"
was the only information he chose to
Impart.
Young Nolan drew close to the desk
at which the managing editor was
working.
"Judge Bartelmy wants hlin," he ex
claimed. "The Judge, the Judge! Don't
you understand?"
"Does he?" asked Brand with ut
most unconcern.
Sylvester grew impatient at his fa
ther's employee who dared assume in
difference toward his father's only son.
"I want to know where he Is," he
demanded.
"Well, 1 can't tell you." Brand rose
and stepped away, with Sylvester fol
lowing hioi.
"I understand that you are going to
publish something about the Judge
that's beyond the limit," said the son.
"Possibly."
"Well this thing's gone fur enough,"
'??That cut is a wonder, Mac!"
emppod Sylvester. "In the absence of
ray father I forbid it. Do you hear?"
Brand took up a bundle of proofs
aud moved to t he door.
"I'm afraid I can't tnke orders from
you," lie said, and he stepped calmly
out Into the composing room.
Sylvester, nonplused, loo 1^1 about
nncertainly for a moment. Then, -with
a sudden thought, lie went to the tele
phone.
lie placed the receiver at his ear.
"Hello: Hello! I'm Mr. Sylvester
Nolan. Get me the house on the wire,
please." An otlloe boy entered. "What
do you mean by trying to prevent me
from comlntr up here?" asked young
Nolan.
"My orders."
"You're discharged." The boy grin
nod amusedly and hurried out.
"Hello: Hello:" continued Sylvester
at the telephone. "Is tills you, moth
er? 1 want to speak to father. I'm
at the Advance ofllce. Hell's breaking
loose here, and 1 want him to come
down quick. Isn't he there? Where
Is he? Expecting him any minute? Oh!
Jump In a taxi
and come down,
will you? All
right. Good!"
He hung up the
receiver and
walked swiftly
Into the hall to
leave the build
ing.
Downs and
Urand entered the
little room.
"There Is a big
tire In Clinton
street," the for
mer said. "Mc
Henry won't give
jump in a laxiana nle room, but I've
come ,1ou-u.' fft ,mv(> ,t;.
"That's It. The Rood stuff' always
comes lu bunches," said Brand, show
ing Ills disgust. "What else you got?"
"Your cub, Powell, Just came In with
a prose poem on a dance hall suicide."
"Let's see It." The managing editor
looked at the story, smiling broadly as
he did so. "Send him lu."
The voice of. Kdward Dupuy was
heard outside.
"Is Mr. Brand in there?"
"Here; you can't go in there," a
voice was heard In warning, and Brand
looked up.
"Oh, yes, I can." was the cool re
sponse, and Ihipuy walked In. "Brand,
"Get out or I'll throw you out!"
you print Hint picture of Judce Bar
teluiy and your paper's as good as
dead." be threatened.
Brand smiled.
"Oh. we'll try to struggle on."
"The whole tiling was a dirty piece i
of trickery, and we can prove it."
"Go ahead and prove it."
"We'll prove It was a faked picture,"
snarled the lawyer.
"What are you koIiik to do';"
"Never mind what we'll do."
Dupuy now delivered the prize threat !
that he had saved for use in the last I
extremity, should It arise, and he was |
justified iu assuming that it had arisen. :
"A temporary injunction would cer- :
1 taiuly issue iu a case like this," he said I
sternlj . "I'll net one and close your j
' shoo "

Cures 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
here in this locality. People who test
lficd years ago to relief from backacho
kidney and urinary disorders, now de
clare that relief was permanent and
tho cure perfect Can any Alaskan
sufferer longer doubt the evidence?
J. Prenatt, 311 Third Avo.. N., Se
attlo, Wash., saye: "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
tho prosent 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."
