"Well, it's business''- began the lob

police reporter of the paper, and be-

new bank merger on which he had
been working when summoned by Nc
Henry. When he finished he laid the
pages of copy on the city editors desk.
He dragged a chair to window, sat
down and gazed moodily down at the
crowds of people hurrying along the
street below.
1t was not his dismissal from the
staff which chiefly concerned him. He
was certain of obtaining another posi-

The whole truth now dawned upon
the amazed McHenry and also upon
Dupuy, who had been dealing with

Nolan reached out and, seiZing Du-

shock what he understood as Nolan's

ed of by the owners preceding as being

absolute master of the paper and con-
sequently dictator of its policy, the
young man set pace that the papers

less to outstrip. His exposure of the
scandals in the exclusive world Of
high life insurance finance has thus
far proved the most vital reform of
his administration. As result of this
crusade, which drove q half dozen
leading officials from almost as many
companies, the president Of the United
States stated publicly that "the vast
life insurance business Of this country
is now on the soundest financial basis
It has ever had"

Wheeling girl out to that place Tues.
day, and, after loading up on booze,
which he probably carried with him.
tried to commit a criminal assam on
the girl, who is but fourteen yenrs'of
age. He failed to accomplish his pur-
pose, SO he contented himself with
taking a dollar from her, after which
he left her.
The assault was attempted In an
out-ofthe-way place. just back of town.
and the facts became known when
the girl went back to town, and in
broken English related the story to
Marsral Davis. Her asailant had had
ample time to get away, and the girl
was sent back to her home.
1t seems that the fellow called ait
the girls home and induced the mar.
ents to permit her to accompany him
on the pretext That he would pay her
good weekly wages for working in his
home at McMechen. He took her to
st, Gainesville instead.

hat was lying on the bed. Herrick

ground he started on the strongest
Marathon ever witnessed in Grant dis
