 He turned around and walked back ] to the desk. Brand was still standing
 in his place, looking fixedly 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 iii his rage, he pounded the desk and cried | out
 "You have gone to all your trouble for nothing. I am going direct to MT. 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 $1O,O00 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.
 FWhen they have served fl eir purpose we will return them to you, or maybe
 we will send them to the minority stockholders in the Lansing Iron con- 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 a hand to hand struggle with the young athletic editor for possession of the money. Besides, he must see Mo- lan-must see him at once. That was the most important matter to which
 he should now attend. He walked deliberately to the closet and secured his hat and coat. He turned the key and went out of the door leading to the outer hall. AS the judge disappeared Wheeler
 Brand sank heavily into his chair. He spread his arms on his desk and bow ed his head between them until his cheek rested on the cool polished sur face.

 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- plosion thrilled every nerve fiber in his body A blinding 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. @ A pang of terror shot through the craven heart of the would be briber.

 Bartelmy reached into the inside pocket of his evening dress coat and extracted an oblong package. Slipping off a 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 S5OO denomination.

 In the composing room men were working like galley slaves to get the great Bartelmy exposure story into type and into the forms. The com posing room in the Advance building was a double decker"-i. e., a second story had been built in the rear part of the room to accommodate the proof readers. This second story was really but a half story, extending out over a portion Of the composing room, and the walls were partitions, the lower half of wood and the upper half of glass windows.

The typesetting machines clicked of rapidly the words, sentences and para graphs of the Bartelmy "beat" and the other stories which had to be crowded into the mail edition.' Brand was in his little room at the right reading the proof of the introduction of the account of the accusation of the United States judge, which introduc- tion he had chosen to write himself McHenry, the deposed managing ed. itor and now Brands assistant, was at the forms with the makeup men.
 A boy rushed in with a cut for Me Henry. The busy editor squinted at it and waved the boy to one side.
 Why do they send us this baled hay when we've got a live one? he said disgustedly.
 Downs came in from the city room. That Clinton street fire is getting better every minute,' he said to Mo Henry. We ought to have at least four columns on it." McHenry glared at the speaker. Are you crazy, man?' he exclaimed.
  You'll have to keep it in three."
 Downs was dissatisfied.
 ''All right This shop is going to the d1," he answered, shaking his head negatively. He went out of the com posing room.
 McHenry went over to one of the makeup stones.
 Where are the cuts for the Chicago and Bryan jump heads? l can't find them anywhere" he asked.
 Here they are." answered one of the makeup men.
 All right They go there" He point ed to a space in one of the forms as a boy handed him another cut. Me Henry held it up to the light and hur- ried into Brands office with it. He laid it proudly on the managing edi- tors desk. That's wonder, Mac" pronounced Brand.
 McHenry agreed.
 Yes; you can almost count the money in old Bartelmy's hand" he ex- claimed, and he peered closely once more at the metal slab.
 Brand meditated a moment.
 ''I'm going to change the makeup on that page" he decided. Put this cut the papers are folded on the news stands every one that passes by will see Barteimy offering a bribe of S1O.- OOO to suppress the truth about him. self. Is your story all up yet?'

 McHenry turned away.

 As McHenry went out of the door into the composing room Sylvester Nolan dashed into Brands room from the hall through the other door. The lad was plainly excited. his face show ing an amount of animation that. for him, was a decided novelty. His eyes flashed and his breath came in short gasps, indicating that he had been hurrying.
 Where's my father. Mir. Brand Where is he:'' he gasped.
 Brand suspected something of the Nolan sons errand.
