Bartelmy's hopes Immediately surged
high. Ha, as plain a bid for a price as
he had e heard. and he had heard
them before. He gazed. treasured. at
the young mans earnest face. Ha,
how skillful he was. this young Brand!
How he had deceived every one! Yes.
he was just like some of the other re-
formers the judge had met-just like
some of his political friends who start
ed to clean up certain conditions. only
to be retained TO let them exist as they
were. But Brand was the cleverest
one of the lot by far. and probably he
was to divide the proceeds of this
bribe with Nolan. oh. they were a
cunning pairi Had even fooled Dupuy,
who thought them dangerous. And
what a s%on-in-law Brand would make!
Yes. he could have judith; he was
worthy to possess the reigning beauty
Of a great city. So argued to himself
the false judge. and he said:
"Of course l am willing to meet you
halfway. but 1t all depends ON whether
we understand each other"
"Your decision was doubtless of some
value to you. and IL | am willing to
keep silent about Its antecedent cir
cumstances then Brand looked the
judge In the eye expectantly.
Bartelmy felt relieved. He felicitat.
ed himself on the fact that his judg.
ment had been correct.

"Well?" queried the judge irritatedly.

man admitted you. One hour and fifty
seven minutes later you left that house
by the same door and returned home
rapidly on foot. You kept your coat
collar turned up. and, contrary to your
usual custom. you wore a slouched hat
pulled down over your eyes. Half an
hour later Dupuy came out of the same
house. Ten hours later you handed
down your decision reversing on a
technicality the judgment of the lower
court in the Lansing Iron case and
freezing out the small stockholders In
favor of the insiders, as usual. Those,
Judge Bartelmy. are my facts!"
Bartelmy made a desperate effort to
retain his self control and to command
his ability to think clearly and effec-
lively in this dire emergency. At last
he spoke after ninutely scrutinizing
the accusing fslre of Brand before
him.

that his knees would not have retained

Jig was up. Plainly the end was In

Of the
Boycott

THE great boycott on meat that

started recently as a protest
against the exorbitant prices
charged has not only become
nation wide. but worldwide. many Eu-
ropean countries also taking up the
fight against high prices. This fact
was brought out recently in the re-
port of the bureau of labor. In this
country much of interest Is coming to
light regarding the methods used to
keep prices soaring. and it is predicted
that an immense amount of good will
result from the present agitation.
Among other things it is being shown
that hundreds of thousands of pounds
of meat are kept In cold storage for
months at a time In order to get the
top price of the market.
Apropos of this subject, 1t may also
interest the reader to know that eggs
and vegetables of every kind are bought
up in the summer when they are the
cheapest and put in cold storage and
held for winter prices. In a book is
sued only to members of the trade 1t
is stated that the cold storage plants

- suspicious of both the judge
and his lobbyist satellite. However,
they little imagined the pronounced
seriousness of the conversation they
had interrupted. In the mind of each
ran the thought that the Advances

cussing the proposal to elect Nolan to
the Oak Door clL.. Even a failure In
this laudable venture they would have
considered a serious setback. but prob

the story Brand wanted to write and

you?" asked Judith's father.
The young man stepped close to the
other and faced him squarely.
Judge. how about your latest de-
cision in the Lansing Iron case today?"
he asked.
Bartelmy started back in surprise.
1T was in accordance with the stat
utes and the constitution" he finally
said.
The supreme court OF the United
States was at variance with you in a
similar case" advised Brand.
Sir Indignantly. II decline to dis
cuss out of court questions relating to
my conduct on the bench"
The judge moved as though to go.
