For the consideration of being known as one of the best newspaper women in the city of New York. That i IS the other consitlera tion."
 'I understood you were already known as thc most noted newspaper woman in New orl"
 This remark was much more diplo- matic than Miss Longworth herself sus- pected.
 Jennie Brewster looked rather | pleased, then she said:
 "Oh, 1 don't know about that, but I intend it shall be so before a year is past"
 Very well, you have plenty of time l to accomplish your object without us- ing the information you have obtained on board this ship. Now, as was say ing. the New York Argus pays you I certain amount for doing this work i If you will promise not to send the re- ! port over to that taper, will give you q check for double the sum the Argus will l'2E yo'l. besides refurding all your expenses twice orcr.'
 ''ln other words, you ask me to be briEcd and refuse to perform my duty to tine paper?"
 Tt isn't bribery. I merely pay you. or will pay you, double what you will 1 receive from that paper. i presume your connection with the paper is pure 1 " commercial. You work for it be- cause you receive a certain amount of money; if the editor found some one 1 he would at once employ that person, and. your services would be no longer required Is that not true?"
 'Ies, it is true.' 'Ncry well, then, the question of duty hardly enters into such compact. They have sent you on what would be to most people a very difficult mission. You have succeeded. You have therefore in your possession something to sell. The New York paper will pay you | certain sum in cash for it. offer you for the same article. double the price the New York Argus will pay you. Is hat not a fair oiTer!?''
 Jennie Brewster had arisen. Sine ciasped and uncasped her hands nor .ously. For q small space of tin!, notli- ing was said, and Edith Longworth imagined sine had gained her point. The woman standing locked down at the vonln sitting.
 Do you know all the particulars about the attempt to get this informa- tion?' asked Miss Brewster.
 ''I know some of them. What par ticulars do you mcan?'
 Do you know that man from the Argus tried to get this informat ton from Mr. Kenyon and Mr. Wentworth in Canada a?''
 ''Yes; 1 know about that
 Do you know that he stole the re- ports. and that they were taken from him before he could use them?"
 Yes"
 Do you know he offered MT. Kenyon and MT. Wentworth double the price the London syndicate would have paid them, on condition they gave him a l synopsis of the reports?''
 'Yes, I know that also"
 ''Very well, then Now you ask me to do very much more than Rivers !; asked them; because you ask me to keep my paper completely in the dark about the information have got. Isn't that so?"
 "Yes, you can keep them in the dark until after the report has been given to the directors; then, of course, you can do what you please with the informa- tion."
 'Ah, by that time it will be of no value. By that time it will be published in the London financial papers. At that time everybody can get it. Isn't case?'
 T suppose so.''
 ''Now, 1 want to ask you one other question, Mss-Miss-Id don't think you told me your name"
 My name is Fifth Longworth
 ''Very well, Mis-; Longworth. I wan to ask you one more question. Wha do you think of the conIuct Of Nj Kenyon and MT. Wentworth in refusinc to take double what they had beer promised for making the report?''
 What do think of them?" repeated the girl.
 ''Yes, what Go you think of them You hesitate. You realize that you ar. in corner. You think Mir Wentworth and MT. Kenyon did very nobly in re fusing Rivers offer?"
 Certainly I do.''
