JidtHct.'1 a memorandum
for me in writing to that effect—a re
ceipt, so to speak?"
He pushed a pad toward the man
aging editor.
"All right—certainly," agreed Brand,
taking up a pen.
The judge began to congratulate
himself on the ease "«ith which he was
handling the young man.
"This is—ah—more businesslike," he
said
But Brand gave him another shock
when he said:
"Yes I'll draw ir up in duplicate.
Each of us will keep a copy—signed."
"Xine thousand dollars," said Brand.
"Ten thousand dollars." the judge
counted.
I "Is that correct?" ho queried of the
editor.
"Ten thousand dollars, correct," was
I the reply. "That will wipe the slate
clean between us."
Brand held out his hand to take the
I mout\\.
The judge picked up the pile of bills,
compressed them with his hands and
extended the money across the desk.
"Take it. Brand," he said.
As the false judge said these words
and stood with the money in his hands
and held it out to the editor a loud ex
plosion thrilled o\ery nerve fiber in
his body. A blinding glare of light
filled the 100111. and the air was filled
with the choking gaseous fumes of
the smoke of the powder used by pho
tographers in making flashlights.
A pane: of terror shot through the
craven heart of the would be briber,
lie started back in his alarm, his ej es
almost blinded by the unexpected flood
of liuht that had subsided as quickly
as it had come.
"My God! What is that?" he cried,
rubbing the back of one of his hands
across his c\\ es.
Wheeler Brand, who had risen in his
place at his desk when the judge had
finished counting the money, set his
face into hard, unyielding lines as the
judge besought him to speak, to ex
plain, lie had won. He had com
pletely at his mercy this cold, crafty
betrajer of the public trust he had
sworn to hold sacred. And it was
with unmistakable triumph in his
voice that lie gsue the reply that was
to be imprinted on the brain of the
fahe jadge as long as he was to live—
a repl\ that would haunt him while
awake and awake him when he slept.
"It is a picture of you in stripes,
Judge Bartelmy," he announced.
I The judge, realizing that he had
been tricked—that he had been photo
I graphed in the \ery act of handing
bribe money to the managing editor of
the Advance—displayed .rare presence
of mind for a man whose complete
social and professional ruin had be
come suddenly imminent. He rushed
across the room at the point where
the flash occurred, hoping to obtain
hold of the camera and destroy the
plate. Owing to the pall of smoke he
had been uuable to see just in what
manner the amera had been arranged.
But when he reached the side of the
room there was no camera to be seen,
only a round hole extending through
the paititiou into the next room and
from which the camera had been re^
"IT IS A PICTURE OF YOU IN STRIPES, JUDGE BARTELMY:
"Ah-ha-ha!" The jurist loaned
back and laughed. "You're a clever
lad, Brand. Well, well youth will be
served!" pushed the pad away.
Brand glanced at the clock fixed in
the wall opposite him.
"It's getting late, judge," he warned
Bartelmy reached into the inside
pocket of his evening dress coat and
extracted an oblong package. Slipping
off a rubber band that encircled it. ho
Unwrapped the yellow paper aud laid
before him on the managing editor's
desk a neat stack of crisp new bank
bills, all of the $500 denomination.
Bartelmy started to count the money,
but he desisted and pushed the bills
over toward Brand.
"Count it." he said.
"You count it."
The judge leaned forward and began
the task. His head was within four
or five inches of the mouthpiece of
the telephone. He picked up the bills,
one at a time, and as he counted them
be laid them in another pile.
"Five hundred," he said—"one thou
sand, fifteen—two thousand, twenty
five—three thousand, thirty-five—four
thousand, forty-five five thousand.
There is half of it," he remarked.
"Yes that's $5,000," assented Brand.
"Six thousand," said the judge, con
tinuing with his task—"seven thou
sand, seventy-five—eight thousand."
"Eight thousand dollars," agreed
Brand.
"Nine thousand," counted the judge.

moved. He stood and gazed in dis
may. He knew now that he was at
the mercy of Brand and the Ad\aii"e
to a degree that he hardly dared to
estimate.
He ./turned around and walked back
to the desk. Brand was still standing
in his place, looking fixedly at the
judge.
Bartelmy was not beaten yet. He
knew that he would not be beaten un
til the Advance appeared in the streets
spreading forth to all the world the
story of his shame.
Shaking from head to foot in his
rage, he pounded the desk and cried
out:
"You have gone to all your trouble
for nothing. I am going direct to Mr.
Nolan's house, and in less than an
hour you will receive orders to kill
that story—that dastardly pack of lie?
you want to print!"
Brand smiled calmly. He gathered
the $10,000 in bills, which lay scatter
ed on the desk where Bartelmy had
thrown them when he dashed for the
camera.
"I'll keep these as evidence," he said.
"When they have served their purpose
we will return them to you, or maybe
we will send them to the minority
stockholders in the Lansing Iron com
pany. That's who the money probably
belongs to."
Bartelmy accepted the situation with
stoical composure for the time. He
saw that he would have no chance in
VM
a hand to hand struggle with the
young athletic editor for possession of
the money. Besides, he must see No
lan—must see him at once. That was
the most important matter to which
he should now attend.
He walked deliberately to the closet
and secured his hat and coat. He
turned the key and went out of the
door leading to the outer hall.
As the judge disappeared Wheeler
Brand sank heavily into his chair. He
"You count the money, judge."
spread his arms on his desk and bow
ed his head between them until his
cheek rested on the cool polished sur
face.
"Judith, Judith!" he sobbed, and his
body shook uncontrolledly as he wept
for the girl he loved.
CHAPTER XII.
ilDNIGHT in the rooms of a
I leading dally paper in a big
city is not a time when peace
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 get the very latest
news into shape, into type, into the
press, into the mail wagons and "on
the street."
And it is in the composing room
where the brunt of the battle is borne
in the final 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 observer. The "makeup"
men cluster around the cumbersome
tables or "stones" on which the forms
are made up, lifting in the metal lines
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 by the pouring of cold water
into the jacket, are locked on the cyl
inders of the gigantic duodecuple
press and ready to whirl off over 100
copies of a paper per second, all print
ed, pasted, folded and counted.
Midnight in the offices of the Ad
vance on the night that Judge Bartel
my's photograph was taken with $10,
000 of bribe money in his hands found
the staff of the paper in all depart
ments working as probably they had
never worked before, except on elec
tion night. The story required con
siderable time for preparation. The
notes of Howard and Jeff, the two re
porters who recorded the conversation
of Brand and Bartelmy, had to be
translated from shorthand into Eng
lish. Then an introduction and a
head had to be written, and the art
department had to break all previous
records in turning out a cut made
from the photograph resulting from
the flashlight.
In the composing room men were
working like galley slaves to get 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, and
the walls were partitions, the lower
half of wood and the upper half of
glass 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
tion 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 superin
tended the makeup proceedings. A
door opened into this small room from
the outer hall, close to a door open
ing from the hall into the cdmposing
room itself. At the opposite end of
the compartment a door opened into
the composing room. In his small in
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
rapidly the words, sentences and para
graphs of the Bartelmy "beat" and
the other' stories which had to be
crowded into the "mail edition." Brand
was iu his little room at the right,
reading the proof of the introduction
of the account of the siccusation of the
United States judge, which Introduc
tion he had chosen to write himself.
McHenry, the deposed 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
Heiiry. The busy editor squinted at
it and waved the boy to one side.
"Why do they send us this baled hay
when we've got a live one?" he said
disgustedly.
Downs came in from the city room.
"That Clintou street fire is getting
better every minute." he said to Mc
Henry. "We ought to have at least
four collimus on it."
McHenry glared at the speaker.
"Are you crazy, man?" he exclaimed.
"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." he answered, shaking his head
negatively. He went out of the com
posing room.
McHenry weut over to one of the
makeup stones.
"Where sire the cuts for the Chicago
aud Bryan jump heads? 1 can't find
them anywhere^ he asked.
"Here they sire," answered one of
the makeup men.
"All right. They go there." He point
ed to a space in one of the forms as
a boy handed him another cut. Mc
Henry held it up to the light and hur
ried into Brand's office with it. He
laid it proudly on the managing edi
tor's desk.
"That's a wonder, Mac!" pronounced
Brand.
McHenry agreed.
"Yes you can almost count the
money in old Bartelmy's hand!" he ex
claimed, aud 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. "Put 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."
McHenry turned away.
"Won't this make the Patriot sick?"
he said as be left. "They'd give the
shirts off their backs to beat us on a
story like this or to keep us from
doing it to them."
As McHenry went out of the door
into the composing room Sylvester
Nolan dashed into Brand's room from
the ball through the other door. The
lad was plainly excited, his face show
ing an amount of animatiou that, for
him. was a decided novelty. His eyes
flashed aud his breath came in short
gasps, indicating that be bad been
hurrying.
"Where's my father, Mr. Brand?
Where is he?" he gasped.
Brand suspected something of the
Nolan son's errand.
"I'm afraid you'll have to find him,"
was the only information be chose to
impart.
Young Nolan drew close to the desk
at which the managing editor was
working.
"Judge Bartelmy wants bim," he ex
claimed. "The judge, the judge! Don't
you understand?"
"Does be?" asked Brand with ut
most unconcern.
Sylvester grew impatient at his fa
ther's employee who dared assume in
difference toward bis father's only son.
"I want to know where he is," he
demanded.
"Well, I can't tell you." Brand rose
and stepped away, with Sylvester fol
lowing him.
"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 far enougV
That cut is a wonder, Mac!"
•napped Sylvester. "In the absence ol
my father I forbid it. Do you hear?"
Brand took up a bundle of proofs
and moved to the door.
"I'm afraid I can't take orders from
you." he said, and he stepped calmly
out into the composing room.
Sylvester, nonplused, looked about
uncertainly for a moment. Then, with
a sudden thought, he went to the tele
phone.
He placed the receiver at his ear.
"Hello! Hello! I'm Mr. Sylvestei
Nolan. Get me the house on the wire
please." An office boy entered. "What
do you mean by trying to prevent me
from coming up here?" asked young
Nolan.

"You're discharged." The boy grin

"Hello! Hello!" continued Sylvestei

got to have it.
"That's it. The good stuff always
comes in bunches," said Brand, show
ing his 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 editoi
looked at the story, smiling broadly as
be did so. "Send bim in."
The voice of Edward 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 Dupuy walked in. "Brand

Brand smiled,
"Oh, we'll try to struggle on."
*'Tbe whole thing was a dirty piece
of trickery, and we cati prove it."
"Go ahead aud prove it."
"We'll prove it was a faked picture,"
snarled the lawyer.
"W7hat are you going to do?"
"Never mind what we'll do."
Dupuy now delivered the prize threat
that be bad saved for use iu the last
extremity, should It arise, and be was
justified in assuming that it bad arisen.
"A temporary injunction would cer
tainly issue in a case like this," be said
sternly. "I'll get one and close your
Bhop."
"Sure! That's the thing! Get Bar
telmy to issue one," suggested the
managing editor sarcastically.
"I will aud put a stop to your game!
This muck raking mania is sweeping
the country like a disease, breediug
madmen everywhere. Brand, this is
your finish!" He shook his fist vio
lently.
Brand jumped up in anger and strode
toward the lawyer lobbyist.
"Now, you get out of here or I'll
throw you out!" be announced hotly.
"You will, will you? You just wait!"
Dupuy backed slowly out of the door
way.
Brand hastened out into the com
posing room.
"Mac, they're beginning to squirm
already!" he cried.
"We'll make them squirm more in
the morning," responded the night edi
tor significantly.
CHAPTER XIII.
fRAND. busily engaged in writ
ing the caption for tbe cut
tbat was to reveal Bartelmy
in his true light, was inter-
rupted once more—this time by the en
trance of the greenish hued face of the
poet reporter, Powell.
"You sent for me, sir?" asked the
new scribe.
"So you've covered a suicide?" said
Brand.'
••Powow's" eyes rolled wildly. He
Clasped bis bands and bis knees shook
In his horror at what he had learned.
"Oh, yessir—a terrible sight I shall
dre-e-e-a-m of it, sir! It would take a
Dante to write of it. Oh, I"—
"What was this girl's name?" asked
Brand in matter of fact tones.
"Madeline."
"Madeline what?"
"Her last name," the poet asked
dazedly. "I guess I don't remember.
Oh, yes, it was Jenks—Madeline
Jenks!" He spoke feverishly.
Brand picked up the poet's first
newspaper story and began to read it.
In spite of the high pressure of events
that night in the Advance office, in
•pite of bis ever present fear that Bar-
teimy and Dupuy might in some way
persuade Nolan to order the sensational
bribery story killed, this many sided
young man found the time to bother
with the fantastic young poet reporter
and his fantastic first article.
"Madeline Jenks, eh?" commented
Brand, turning over the pages. "Well,
the first place you mention her name
is on page 3."
He plucked off the first two pages
and threw them on the floor. Powell
winced painfully at the massacre of
his first reportorial offspring. "Begin
there," said Brand. Powell lunged
downward to rescue bis first two
pages, but Brand kicked them away
from him. "Where'd she live?" he
next asked.
Powell clasped his bands and gazed
plaintively at the ceiling.
"Over a chop suey cafe, sir."
"Number and street?"
"Two forty-three and a half West
Pearl street."
Brand threw away two more pages,
Powell watching him anxiously the
while.
"Put that next. Here. Madeline
Jenks," Brand began to write, "an in
mate of 2434 West Pearl street. What
did she do?"
"She destroyed herself utterly 1" the
new reporter wailed.
Brand went on writing.
"Is she dead?"
"Yes, sir."
"Shot and killed herself—when?"
"Tonight at 0 o'clock."
Brand wrote on.
"Last night at 0 o'clock. Why?"
Powell answered very intensely
"Oh. she could no longer 'face the
ghastlineiss of her existence. She knew
she"—
"She was weary of life in the
streets."
"I don't blame her," Brand com
mented to himself. He turned to
Powell. "There's your story. Thirty
words—you had 3,000. Aud remember
the story of the creation was told in
600 words."
Powell picked up the pages of his
story which Brand had discarded and
walked dejectedly away.
"Mac," Brand ordered, "here's a
dance hall suicide. Put it with local
brevities, will you?"
Had Brand at this moment been able
to see through the wall that separated
the composing room from the hall he
would have witnessed a sight that
would have deprived him of some of
the self possession that marked his
present demeanor. A figure clad in an
elaborate evening gown crept softly
up the stairway, stood irresolutely at
the landing and then turned into the
managing editor's office. Judith Bar
telmy probably never looked more
beautiful in her life than she did that
night. A flush of excitement enhanced
the soft allurement of ber exquisite
features, and the low cut neck of her
sleeveless gown completed a picture
of feminine loveliness that, innocently
enough on her part, was admirably
adapted to the purpose Judge Bartelmy
had in bis unprincipled mind when he
sent her to the Advance office. "You
are my only hope," he had told her
after Dupuy had at first failed to lo
cate Nolan. "You must go and plead
With Wheeler Brand or else 1 am
ruined, Ybur father will be ruined ab
solutely." At the sight of her father's
emotion and yielding to the fervent
pleadings of her only living parent
she had willingly consented to under
take tbe mission. Unpleasant though
she knew it would be, she believed it
her duty to stand by in his hour of
dire need the father whom she loved,
the father whom she did not know.
As she entered the office and paused
in conjecture as to just bow she would
proceed she heard footsteps hurriedly
ascending the stairs, and, withdrawing
into a shadow in a corner, she saw
Michael Nolan and Mrs. Nolan cross
the hall and disappear into the com
posing room.
"Thank heaven!" she murmured fer
vently. "They will stop this story,
which father says is a horrible lie."
Wheeler Brand will never forget—he
•'Remember the story of the creation voa*
told in 600 words."
has since said so from the depths of
his soul—the shock that went through
him when he saw Nolan, accompanied
by his wife, making their way toward
him on that memorable night.
McHenry was speaking when they
entered.
"There Is your first page, Brand." he
was saying, "and it sends Bartelmy to
state prison."

class spoke of the poet Milton's blind
