"And you, Howard, take the extern

said. Keep it glued to your best ear
and take down every word you hear
tonight between Judge Bartelmy and
me. The judge will sit in the chair at
the right of my desk l will be in my
own chair. The telephone will thus be
midway between us. Whatever words
he and | say will be said almost direct

Now. you see what am going to do
Brand took a lead pencil from his
pocket and began Il proceeding which
the two reporters, accustomed as they
were in their business to ingenious
strategy. 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
ell 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

telephone and the extension telephone

JEFF were to be stationed. They had
stenographers' pads with them. on
which they were each to take down
the conversation in shorthand
"This phone will be open all the time

chair at his right. Howard went out

Come, look over the place. and let's
get through with it," put In the editor.
He crossed and locked the door
through which the judge had entered
Then he led his visitor over TO the
door on the opposite side of the room

was quick enough to catch the ironical
comment of the busy managing editor
on the scholarly men who wrote the
opinions Of the paper. Brand drew
the Judge back into his office and lock-
ed the door behind him.
"Now we are alone. absolutely
alone" commented Brand significant
ly. He led the way to his desk and
pointed out to the judge the chair at
the right hand side. Brand dropped
into his own chair. Have a seat,
judge" he said.
Judge Bartelmy drew the chair in
dicated even closer to the managing
editors desk and seated himself in it,.
He leaned forward toward Brand and
rested his elbow on the desk. His
face was within ten or twelve inches
Of the telephone.

A smile of satisfaction spread over

briefly to Brand. and his eyes swept
around the entire room before he step

"Good evening, judge" said the ed
i;or.

puy had been. Bartelmy was in even
ing dress. He took off his white kid
gloves and put them in his pocket and
then handed his hat and coat to the
editor. Brand opened the door of a
closet at the right hand side Of the
room and hung the judges things
therein. He closed the door. Bartel-

door and peered sharply into its four
corners, even fumbling behind his long
coat. to make sure that no witness was
lurking there to spy on him.
"Oh. that's the way you feel!' COM

Bartelmy coughed nervously.

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

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

bills, all of the $500 denomination.
Bartelmy started to count the money,
but he desisted and pushed the bills

the reply. That will wipe the slate

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 1t. Brand" he. said.
AS the false judge said these words
and stood with the money in his hands
and held IL out TO the editor loud ex-

he went out of the room.
Brand was impatient because of the
precious time that had been wasted.
He had work TO do and little time In
which to do 1t, and it was the most
important work he had ever done In
his life.
He sert the office boy to bring the
