"Ah-ha-ha!" The jurist leaned
back and laughed. you're a clever
lad, Brand. Well, we'll; youth will be
served!' He pushed the pad away.
Brand glanced at the clock fixed in
the wall opposite him.
''1t's getting late, judge" he warned.
Bartelmy reached into the inside
pocket Of his evening dress coat and
extracted an oblong package Slipping
off rubber band that encirclcd it, he
unwrapped the yellow paper and laid
before him on the managing editors
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 time, and as he counted them

flve-three thousand, thirty -fve-four
thousand, forty-fve - five thousand.
There is half of it," he remarked
Eyes; that's $5,00O," assented Brand.
'Six thousand" said the judge, con-
tinuing with his task-'seven thou
sand, seventy fve-eight thousand"
Eight thousand dollars" agreed
Brand.
Nine thousand" counted the judge.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1910-01-26

"Nine thousand dollars" said Brand.
'Ten thousand dollars.' the Judge
counted.
SIS that correct?" he queried of the
editor.
"Ten thousand dollars. correct was
the reply. THAT will wipe the slate
clean between u.s."
Brand held out his hand to take the
money.
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 loud ex-
plosiun thrilled every nerve fiber in
his body. \ binding glare of light
filled the room. and the air was filled
with the choking gaseous fumes of
the smoke of the powder used by pho
tographers in making flashlights.
\ pung of terror shot through the
craven heart of the would be briber.
He started back in his alarm, his eyes
almost blinded by the unexpected flood
of light that had subsidized as quickly
as it had come.
"NIy God. What is that?" he cried,
rubbing the back of one of his hands
across his eyes.
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
| plctcly at his mercy this cold, crafty
betrayer of the public trust he had
sworn to hold sacred. And it was
with unmistakable triumph in his
voice that he gave the reply that was
to be imprinted on the brain of the
false judge as long as he was to live
reply that would haunt him while
awake and awake him when he slept:

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 pail of smoke he
had been unable to see just in what
manner the camera had been arranged
But when he reached the side of the
only round hole extending through
the partition into the next room anG

moved. He stood and gaZed in dis
may. He knew now that he was at
the mercy of Brand and the Advance
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 ixedly 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. 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 lies
you want to print"'
Brand smiled calmly. He gathered
the $4,000 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

He pushed pad toward the man,
aging editor.
"All right-ccrtainly," agreed Brand,
taking up pen.
The judge began to congratulate
himself on the ease with which he was
handling the young man.
"Ths is-ah-more businesslike," he
said.
But Brand gave him another shock
when he said:

''Go ahead and prove it,
"We'll prove it was a faxed picture"
snarIed the lawyer.
"What are you going to do?'
"Never mind what We'll do"
Dupuy now delivered the prize threat
that he had saved for use in the last
extremity, should it arise, and he was
justified in assuming that it had arisen.
"A temporary injunction would GER
tainly issue in a case like this" he said
sternly. 'l'll get one and close your
shop"
Sure! That's the thing: Get Bar

managing editor sarcastically.

"You will, will you? You just watt"
Dupuy backed slowly out of the door

''We'll make them squirm more in

tor significantly.

rabIy arranged so that the public can

be three aisIes. with car spaces on each
side
Trenton has never had an automobile

automobile interest In the Jersey capt.
tai Is said to be stronger than In any
city Of the same size in the country.
the eyes OF the automobile world In
general will be turned tina. way. ex-
pecting to see something up to the gen
eral Trenton fair standard. which is
just a little bit better than anything
of a similar kind anywhere else in the
country.
Among the exhibitors already re-
garded as certainties are the much
talked of new Bergdoli car. Chalmers.
Hudson. Stoddard-Dayton. Mitchell.
HupmobiIe. Buick. Winton. Crawford.

"Grade" Dairy Cattle.

In New Jersey and throughout the
eastern states there are great many
dairy cows not pure in breed. but gen.
orally recognized as representative
grades and crossbreeds. The Trenton
fair has sought to please many of its
exhibitors this year by introducing a
department for this class of dairy cat
tie.
For this class ''gradey COW will be
defined as an animal having for her
sire a pure bred and registered bull
of dairy breeding. and all such ami
mails will be eligible for competition.
Pure bred animals will not be eligible
Tor competition In this class.
In Judging this class uniformity OF
type and dairy conformation as well
Is general usefulness from milk and
butter making viewpoint will be the
guide IN making decisions.
1t is generally conceded that this de-
partment will bound into instant IA
