Judith raised her head amazedly.
"What are you saying?" she asked.
Brand turned to her and then to the
Judge

whispered the Judge. The girl slipped
down the hall into the managing edi-
tors little office. the coign of vantage
from which she had previously been
able to hear all that took place in the
composing room. Bartelmy proceeded
directly to the form before which the
two editors were working, and Brand
saw that he must undergo another I'M
pleasant encounter before the presses
began to whirl off his story He
glanced impatiently at the clock and
raised his brows questioningly to the
judge.

Yes

the story to be printed?"

At this latest declaration of Brands
Judith could restrain herself no longer.
She rushed through the doorway,
across the grimy floor, regardless OF
the flowing train of her silk gown.
Brand rubbed the back of his hand
across his eyes as though they were
deceiving him.

The girl stood immovable a moment.
Then she extended her arm toward

her choice.
The judges features showed but lit
