Bartelmy, that story goes TO press" he
cried, raising his eyes to meet those of
Judiths father.
Bartelmy saw that he had played
his last card. 1t was his highest
trump, but it had failed to win. What
Judith could not do he surely under
the existing circumstances, could not
save him if he would, had gone, he
knew not where.
And it was now press time. All was
over. Bartelmy took single step to-
ward his daughter.

he said in low tones.
"Oh, no." was the response in sad
dened voice. "Men like you don't fin
ish that way. You'll have about six
hours, judge, before that story is read
by the public"
Judith, too. was ready to admit that
her last and eliminating effort had
been in vain Wearied and unstrung,
She raised herself from the fatal form
that was to besmirch the name and
the father that had been her source of
pride She crossed over toward her
father, who stood silent and despair
ingly in the shadow of one of the limo
type machines.
"Goodby, Wheeler. | am going out
of your life forever. l am sorry it had
to end like this-all our plans, all our

The thought Of the happy moments
that she had spent with Wheeler,
building air castles for their future
when they would be man and wife,
came over her. 1t swept down the
wall Of reserve and determination with
which she had deemed it necessary to
surround herself. She halted and
gazed steadfastly into her fathers
face. Slowly she raised her hands and
pressed them against her cheeks as
though horror stricken. Then she
turned, rushed impulsively back to

meal that had gone untouched crashed
to the floor. The press-the printing
press-has started" he muttered dis
jointedly as the sound Of the breaking
dishes penetrated into his wearled
brain. His hand instinctively crept
under one of the cushions. 1t grasped
and for moment fumbled with blue
steel object, which 1t drew weakly
forth-a revolver. The shock of the
cold steel reused the sleeper. He
opened his eyes and gazed fascinatedly
at the instrument of death. With
cry of terror he relaxed his fingers,
and the object dropped to the floor.
He groaned the groan OF lost soul in
the anguish Of its never ceasing tor
ture. He turned his face TO the wall
and tried in vain TO close his eyes in
sleep.

"Why, man." he exclaimed question

Before Brand could give an answer
to this last question, even IL he had in
tended to do so, Nolan broke in on the
pair.
''Mr. Nolan" began Brand, you

Nolan drew close to Brand and
placed his hand alfectionately on the
young EDITORS shoulder.
But you, Wheeler-you have taught
me much about those big issues that
did not know, and you have shown to
me the high ideals that should guide
the newspaper writer, the newspaper
editor and the newspaper owner as
well. You are right in this case" His
voice rose to majestic heights. Wheel

Nolan turned quickly away and has
tened out and down into the street.

over the face Of Wheeler Brand as he

in the doorway of the composing room.

prevent the publication of the con-
demnatoIy article, quite unobserved,
glanced to where Brand and his asso-
ciate editor were at work Don't
come in yet Wait a few moments"
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 be must undergo another UNI
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.

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
deceivipg him.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by All infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed. deafness is the result and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and the tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness. caused by catarrh,
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

was wise enough in the ways Of the
world to know that again was Brand
to prove victor over him.
The girl stood immovabe a moment.
Then she extended her arm toward
her lover. Judith Bartelmy had made
her choice.
The judges features showed but lit
tie of the storm into which his emo
tons had been plunged. His years of
practiced self control had come to
his aid and enabled him to face the
ruin of his career and his life and his
name without the frenZied demonstra-
ton in which most men in his posi-
ton would have INDUCED. To the
last he was the cool, polished, suave
hypocrite that he had been in the be-
ginning, when those who sought to
loot the public for private gain found
him a willing tool.
"He is right" Bartelmy said to Ju-
dith. "He has told you the truth to-
night-the absolute truth" He looked
at his watch. "Six hours, did you say,
Mr.. Brandt? he asked.
Brand had gathered Judith in his

Judge Bartelmy stood watching the
united couple for moment before he
turned and walked away. muttering
as he went: "Six hours. One may
travel far I'm these days in that time"
The great ship heaved and lunged
through the giant seas that swept over
her bows, out Of the freezing night, out
Of the cold northeast. The captain and

ends of the lofty bridge, choked in the

Somewhere deep toned bell told of
