the mercy Of Brand and the Advance
to 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:

back and laughed. You're a clever
lac, Brand. Well, we'll; youth will be
served" He pushed the pad away.
Brand glanced at the clock fixed in
the wall opposite him.
It's getting late, judge" he warned.
Bartelmy reached into the inside
pocket Of his evening dress coat and
extracted an oblong package. Slipping
of rubber band that encircled it, he
unwrapped the yellow paper and laid
before him on the managing editors
desk neat stack OF crisp new bank
bills, all Of the $500 denomination. @
Bartelmy started to count the money,

Brand smiled calmly. He gathered

thrown them when he dashed for the
camera.

He walked deliberately to the closet

The judge began to congratulate
himself on the ease with which he was

This is-ah-more businesslike," he
said.
But Brand gave him another shock
when he said:

sopening remarks about the particular
object of his visit.
Brand was waiting for the. judge to
do the same. 1t was the newspaper
man, who spoke first, after the two
had seated themselves. He was anx-
ious to get the matter over with as

expected nature might occur to ruin

Mr.. Dupuy was here a short time
ago." he ventured.
Judge Bartelmy proceeded to ex-
plain the appearance of the lawyer lob
byist in the affair. While it was plain
to Brand that the judge had sent Du-
puy as a go-between so that it would
be impossible to connect Bartelmy
with the payment of any money as a
bride, the jurist did not propose to ac-
knowledge that such had been his laud-
able purpose. He gave an entirely diff
ferent reason.

to act through him you would spare
me this last humiliation"
would it not be safer for you If no
third party knew Of your transaction
with me?'' suggested Brand.
The judge pitied the colossal igno-
rance of this amateur in trickery. Did
spheres of crooked practices it became
necessary to employ third persons on
many occasions to put through mat
tiers Of this sort? And he was news
paper man of years of experience too,
No, this peculiar young man would
never finish supplying the Judge with
surprises; Of that Bartelmy was posi-
tive. Perhaps it might be in order to
observe at this point that, while Brand
of course could not know that these
thoughts were passing through his
visitors mind, he at the same time
would have been ready to confess that
he was going to provide several more
surprises for the jurist. But there are
different varieties Of surprises.
"Dupuy is in ny confidence" the
judge pronounced with an air Of final
ity.

managing editor.

Come, look over the place, and let's

ssYou count it."

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
he laid them in another pile.

''Ten thousand dollars the Judge

''Ten thousand dollars, correct was

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.
t"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 a loud ex-
plosion thrilled every nerve fiber in
his body. A binding glare of light
filed the room, and the air was filed
with the choking gaseous fumes Of
the smoke of the powder used by pho
tographers in making flashlights.
A pang Of terror shot through the
craven heart Of the would be briber.
He started back in his alarm, his eyes

sworn to hold sacred. And it was

Brand took a lead pencil from his
pocket and began proceeding which
the two reporters, accustomed as they
were in their business to ingenious
stra tegy, failed at first to understand.
Then the scheme dawned on them.
Brand took the telephone receiver from
the hook, and the metal arm immedi-
ately snapped upward. establishing the
connection. Then he inserted the point
of the lead pencil in the small aperture
under the little metal arm or hook and
deliberately broke it off. The tiny
wedge thus held up the hook. Brand
now hung up the receiver, and the pen
Gil point prevented the weight of the
receiver from bearing the hook down
and breaking the connection. The con-
nectiOn was made continuous without
the slightest indication that such was
the case. Every word now spoken
within a reasonable distance of the
mouthpiece would be conveyed to the
telephone and the extension telephone
in editorial room 4, where Howard and
Jeff were to be stationed. They had
stenographers' pads with them, on
which they were each to take down
the conversation in shorthand.
