From an initial offer of $4,000 for

crawled up TO $4,000. Then. when he
remained adamant, the lid" was torn
off and word was sent to him while
he LAY on what was at the time ex-

had to do was to fix the sum he de-
sired and the money would be forth
coming.

in the state to have caused me to be-
tray my constituents" said Foelker

 Dupuy was immeasurably relieved at this last remark. It was the first time that Brand had indicated that Bartelmy and he had had an engage ment.
 "Mr. Brand, I can almost assure you that my client will keep his appoint ment." The lawyers voice rang out firmly.
 The editor nodded carelessly toward the speaker, who spun on his heel and speedily strode away. The telephone bell sounded. Brand bent over quickly.
 Hello! Who-oh, yes, Mr. Nolan. No, sir, not yet. but think we'll have him landed all right in about half an hour. Please don't worry about it. It'll be all right. Just go away and hide somewhere, for they'll be doing the baby act as quick as trap him, and you'll be squeezed to death before we get to press.

 The noise of voices raised in indigna- tiOn broke in upon him from tile outer hall at his right. "Oh, that's chest nut" some one cried; "he's always out. always when I come"
 The editor glanced around and saw Sylvester Nolan leading in his friend Powell, the poet.
 You're not out, are you, old man ?" asked young Nolan of Brand. Who's that fly duck that tried to keep me from coming in?'
 "I'm sorry, Nolan; Pm very busy to- night, and you'll have to excuse me. I'm very busy"

 "But just look at this one. Po- wow. let Mr. Brand see your ode to the opening of the Omaha exposition. He went in the competition with this.'' Powell handed the poem to Brand.
 "And I see he came out with it, 2 snorted the newspaper man.
 ''Yes. sir," agreed Powell faintly.
 People haven't time for poetry commented Brand.
 That's what I've been trying to tell Powow." put in Sylvester. "He was born after his time"
 "How would you like to be report er?" asked the editor.
 Powell's eyes gleamed with a sickly color that showed that he was en- tbused.
