whispered the judge. The girl slipped
down the hall into the managing edi-
tors little office, the colgn OF vantage
from which she had previously been
able TO hear all that took place in the
composing room Bartelmy proceeded
directly to the form before which the
two editors were working, and Brand
saw that he must undergo another un-
pleasant encounter before the presses
began to whirl off his story. He
glanced impatlently at the clock and
raised his brows questIonlnely TO the
Judge

At this latest declaration of Brands
Judith could restrain herself no longer.
She rushed through the doorway,
across the grlmy door, regardless OF
the flowing train Of her silk gown.
Brand rubbed the back OF his hand
across his eyes as though they were
deceiving him.

"Sir hours, did you say Mr.. Brandt"
was wise enough in the ways of the
world to know that again was Brand
to prove victor over him.
The girl stood immovabe a moment.
Then she extended her arm coward
her lover Judith Bartelmy had made
her choice
The judges features showed but lit
tie of the storm into which his emo
tions had been plunged. His years of
practlced self control had come to
his aid and enabled him to face the
ruin of his career and his life and his
name without the frenZied demonstTp-
ton in which most men in his posi-
ton would have INDUCED. To the
last he was the cool polished, suave
hypocrite that he had been in the be-
ginning, when those who sought to
loot the public for private gain found
him a willing tool.
"Ie is right" Bartelmy said to Ju
dith. "IIe has told you the truth to-
night-the absolute truth" He looked
at his watch. "Slx hours, did you say,
Mr.. BrandY' he asked.
Brand had gathered judith in his
arms. She sighed contentedly as she
laid her head upon his shoulder.
YES" lie answered the Judge.
Judge Bartelmy stood watching the
united couple for moment before he
turned and walked away, muttering
as he went: six hours. One may
travel far in these days in that time"
The great ship heaved and lunged
through the giant seas that swept over
her bows, out of the freezing night, out
of the cold northeast. The captain and
the first officer lashed to opposite
ends of the lofty bridge, choked in the
flying spume of wind riyen midocean.
Somewhere n deep toned bell told of
the hour in the sailors accustomed
fashion. From somewhere out of the
depths of the vast groaning fabric
umbled the men of the watch who
were now to go on duty to relieve
their storm beaten fellows.
And somewhere down in the shiv-
ering, rearing hull gaunt faced, hol-
low eyed man lay on the saffron hued
velvet cushions OF narrow couch at
the side of luxurious staterOom. He
was fully dressed in spite of the late
ness of the hour and of the fact that
he was sleeping-just as he had been
the night before. He tossed uneasly
Sometimes he thrust his hands out
cOnvulsively as though to ward Off
threatening danger. He began to talk
incoherently. The ship rolled. and a
tray containing dishes and an evening
meal that had gone untouched crashed
TO the door. The press-the printing
press-has started" he muttered dis
jointediy as the sound OF the breaking
dishes penetrated into his wearied
brain. His hand instinctively crept
under one OF the cushions. 1t grasped

cold steel reused the sleeper. He
