Hroken Arrow, Fobruary 22. aiAnrmt xxvl " Bay, Clipper, what do you moan by printing that lUsher nd tills morning?" Mr. Htnbb, nt his phono, snnpped out tho words that throw the editor of tho Adomnnt Advertiser Into a panic. " Why why, Mr. Btabb, I don't know what you mean." " You know all right what I mean. Another lino of that stuff nnd your relations with mo nre through. Understand?" There wsa. allocked silence ut Mr. Clipper's end of tho wire. "Hut I've mado n contmct for twtnty half pnRCs!" "All right, go ahead! Hut you know what It will coat you!" Htnbb banged down the receiver. ' Clipper gazed Uankly ut his unfinished editorial on tho freedom of the press. Here was n crisis In his affairs! Heforo him lay tho contract with Itashcr for twenty such ads to be run dally nt ISO nn insertion, nnd, worse, In his pocket was halt the total amount. He himself had Instated on cash In advance. And now this crushing threat from Btabb, whoso power In tho community ho dared not oppose. Ktnbb's anger convinced him of a fact which up to this tlmo bo bad only auspeclcd, namely, Ktnbb'a con nection with tho Pioneer stores, although the company wan on record as opposing such connections by Its employes. In an agitated Iramo of mind, Mr. Clipper hurried out only to Ond that Hasher had left town for ft few days, leaving no addrens. This compounded the editor's predicament. Ho had to choose between the complete rupturo of good relations with Btabb, or become liable far damages b breaking his contract. In his dlstre.ii ho sought tho Hon. John Harpy. " Do?" echoed that gentleman. " Why, nothing, of course. Don't print tho nds." " Hut won't I be llablo?" " Don't worry about that," said Hnrpy contemptu ously. " If ho wants to go to court, we'll appeal It and appeal It, till bo's drained ot hla last cent In court costs nnd attorney fees," Bo the editor, soothed In mind, scrapped the Hasher nds, and Mr. Btabb smiled as ho noted their omission. Threo days later Itasbcr returned and nt onco sought Clipper. " Why haven't my nde been appearing? You've been paid for ten ot them." " I've decided not to print them," answered tho editor sUftly. " Your money will bo returned." " Of course It will, nnd maybe more, too. If I sue you for violation of contract" "You'll have to nee my attorney, John Harpy, about that," said Clipper as he turned to his desk. Hasher gone, he nt onco called up tho Hon. Harpy, who remained unrulllod. " I.ct him cokio. lie's trying to shake you down for n compromise. Harpy had barely hung Up his re ceiver when Hasher entered, nnd stated his case. " And you'ro thinking of suing htm?" asked Harpy, when ha had finished, " I may. 1'vo not decided." "Ah! Perhaps you would rather compromise on a cash basis?" Hasher's answer was not what ho ex pected. " I have no thought ot compromising." Harpy wns puzzled, but kept on smiling cynically. " My advice to you, son, Is to drop It. Your grocery venture hero Is doomed to tall. You can't buck old c otabtlshed concerns llko tho Pioneer storei." " That's the company controlled by Mr. Btabb? " "O no," hastily cxclalmod "Honest John." "Mr. Btabb has no Interest In It." "I wan led to think he had. However, that will be decided It the caso cornea to trial." Harpy winced at tbl:i. He knew Stabb had good rea son to fear disclosure. Hut Hasher's next words caused bin heart to skip several beaU. " Mr. 8tabb perhaps would not llko that, any more than you would care to havo your connection with the Steel company Itself mado public." " I have no connections with tho Btcel company," he euid harshly, nnd pointed to tho door. " Now you net out of here." Ilasher aroso. " I wae under the Impression that you received a substantial sum from tho company when you supported n certain bill affecting their In terests that enmo up In congress a few years ago. In May, 1913, to be exact. Perhaps I'm mistaken." He then departed, bowing pleasantly. Harpy's forbead was damp and cold. Rasher woe not mistaken. Hut how in tho namo ot God did he know? Only the lnnormoat circles ot tho company know, and It was as much to their Interest as to hla that ft Ilnanclal transaction of this kind bo kept secret Suddenly a gleam of light struck him.

Tho explanation of the whole long drawn'out proceeding laid the lines ot tho nown stories that said, "Lig gett novor, lost confidence In him self and his friends never lost con fidence In Liggett." That shows how ho has won from the lny 18 years ngo when ho conceived tho Idea of unity In tho world drug trade, an Idea that took iorm on a train between Beattlo nnd Spokane. "Even my most splendid dream of that dny has been surpassed," ho Is reported to havo said, "but through it all, In sunshlno and storm, I hnvo nover for one moment doubted tho ultimata success ot the undertaking.
