Brand glanced at the clock fixed in
the wall opposite him.

He turned around and walked back
to the desk. Brand was still standing
in his place, looking fxedly 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

opening 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
quickly as possible, for he we'll knew

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.
Eyes, ]. know" he said. He found
me at the opera with my daughter. I
hoped, Mr.. Brand, that by allowing me
to act through him you would spare
me this last humiliat ion. b
'sWould it not be safer for you If no
third party knew Of your transaction
with me q suggested Brand.
The judge pitied the colossal igno-
rance Of this amateur in trickery. Did
not he know that in the superior
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 a 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 We're 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.

judge pronounced with an air Of final

Brand smiled calmly. He gathered
the $10O 900 in bills, which lay scatter
ed on the desk where BarteImy had
thrown them when he dashed for the
camera.

He walked deliberately to the closet

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.
Five hundred he said-ssone thou

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.

filled the room, and the air was filled
with the choking gaseous fumes Of
the smoke Of the powder used by pho

He started back in his alarm, his eyes
almost blinded by the unexpected food

as it had come.
tsMy 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. unyie1ding lines as the
judge besought him to speak, to ex-
plain. He had won. He had COM
pletely 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

false judge as long as he was to live

were in their business to ingenious

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 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

the conversation in shorthand.

Hard to Explain.

A case was tried out at Liberal
the other day that illustrated the
extreme difficulty of convicting a
man for selling liquor. " L. Bes-
hears, a druggist out at Liberal,
was tried for selling bottle of
whiskey, which was purchased, as
we understand, by a detective
from Nevada, who was in the en-
ploy of the Liberal law enforce
ment league, The bottle had
been in the possession all the time
of a Liberal business man, Mr..
Bradbury. The latter was pre-
sent to testify and exhibit the bot
tie to the jury, and the man who
claimed he made the purchase was
also present to tell his story.
Liberal has dry mayor who acts
as police judge, and the marshal
who summoned the jury was dry.
The case was vigorously prosecut-
ed, too. But in spite of it all the
defendant was released. Hon. E.
L. Moore represented the city of
Liberal and Hon. Thos. w. Martin,
the defendant. We call attention
to the unusual conditions that
surrounded this case because first
they are of interest, and second
for the reason that there is usually
an impression that the only reason
the prohibition law is hard to en-
force is because the court or the
jury doesn't happen to be in
sympathy with it. We might add
thatthe defense offered no evidence
what ever.-Lamar Democrat.

Bees in Court House Cupola.

We have heard of bees making
their homes in many out of the
way nook and corners, but a
swarm of bees was discovered, Fri
day, in home that would have
supposed to be innocent of honey,
so long as it held its place, so far
above the walks of men. 1t was
in the very top of the cupola of the
courthouse. Judge Haggard first
noticed a swarm of insects flying
in and out from under the topmost
point of the steeple. He called
the attention Of others to the I'M
usual phenomenon and it was soon
agreed that the tenants of the lofty
home, a hundred and fifty feet
above the street, must be bees.
The court offered to give George
Swift, the janitor, a written order
for all of the honey the bees made
in the county's property. provided
he would go up and get it, himself,
but George said he didn't like hon
ey at all. and besides winter was
near and he wouldn't think of
robbing the bees.--Lamar Demo,
