Synopsis

CHAPTER Judith Bartelmy,
society woman, goes to the office of the
Daily Advance to protest against a
story which had severely criticised her
father, a Judge Of the United States
court. She discovers that the author
of the article was Wheeler Brand, a
brilliant young writer whom she had
promised to marry. He refuses to
cease attacking her father. U-Ju-
dith discards her engagement ring.
Duputy, a lawyer, representing big
advertisers, calls and demands Brands
discarge, as his clients are friends of
Judge Bartelmy. III-Brand is dis
charged by the managing editor, for
the paper, long owned by an insurance
company, had been friendly to corpor-
atoms. Michael Nolan, who buys the
paper, comes in the office and finds
Dupuy to be an old enemy of his.
IV-Nolan calls for Brand and makes
him managing editor. V-Brand
tells Nolan and his socially ambitious
family that the dishonest judge, Bar
telmy, and his unsuspecting daughter
have taken them up socially SO as to
try to induce Nolan not to attack the
judge in his newspaper.

To BRAND and Nolan came out

puy in the drawing room. Brand did
not appear enthusiastic at the circum-
stance and. nodding stitfly in the gen
eral direction OF the two men. proceed
ed to circle around them toward the
door leading to the hall.
Judge Bartelmy advanced pleasedly
toward the newspaper owner. who
greeted him courteously.
Judge. this is an unexpected honor"
"An honor to cOme-believe me. Mr..
Nolan. an honor to come"
Nolan saw Brands dexterous ma
neuver toward the door, and on calling
to him not to go he halted. turned to-
ward the center of the room and stood
watching the strangely assorted group
of men.
Nolan next addressed Dupuy. who
expressed his thanks at the granting
of his request for an interview.
Judge Bartelmy. always quick to no.
tice every detail or phase Of what was
transporting in his immediate presence,
saw that Brand was i'll at ease. He
called to him cheerily:

capitulate and become his friend. As
for Judith, she little comprehended the
entire significance of her fathers atti-
tude. and If she had, her frank. genu-
Inc nature, which reyolted at trickery
and deceit. would not nave permitted
her TO continue To do his bidding She
admired and loved her father
She knew that her mother before
her had aided her father in his work
and ambitions to considerable extent
and now that her mother was no long
er alive she felt it her duty to fill her
place in every possible way. After
all, she had only a young woman's
knowledge of the ways of men in the
business and professional world, and
she could discern in the attacks on her
rather nothing beyond what he him
self had taught her to believe-that
they were the efforts Of envious men
or ignorant reformers or misguided
fanatics. who assailed him entirely
without just cause. However, it
would seem that the Judge would In
any event have attempted to conceal
from others his motives for procuring
the presence Of Judith at the Nolan
nome on this day. 1t would seem,
no matter how low he had sunk.
that he would have denied that he had
ever employed her unsuspec tingly as a
decoy on other occasions. That was
the least this father could do for his
daughter. But he made no attempt to
protect her reputation. at any rate to
Dupuy. for In answer to the lawyer

Well" decisively, "she certainly
ought to be-"
II suppose we shall see it in the Ad-
vance tomorrow" suggested Dupuy.
"Oh. of course!' Bartelmy laughed
amusedly.

A serious look came into Bartelmy's
face as he said:

the Lansing Iron people have been in
pretty bad odor with the public ever
since the receivership matter last

THAT was the beginning of all these
attacks upon me. | hope the morning
papers will treat me fairly
"Oh. there will be no trouble about
them. They have not investigated the
matter thoroughly enough yet, of
course. excepting the Advance. But
you did just the right thing today to
bring Miss Judith"
Bartelmy was showing not the
slightest hesitancy at using his beauti-
full and accomplished daughter as a
decoy in his plottings. In the first
place. he desired that she should mar
ry Wheeler Brand. hoping that the
young reformer's zeal against him
would disappear; secondly, by prevail
ing on her to pay attention socially

mother and daughter went from the
room.

says" Nolan said to Brand. "She's
been kind O. lonely since she came
back to New York"
The EDITORS heart swelled with SYM
pathy for the woman whose ambitions
Tor herself and her daughter had
caused the bitterest pain that injured
pride can give. He saw that 1t would
be difficult for her to learn that social
position In big city can be won only
by skNlful maneuvering, the ability to
do which Mrs. Nolan apparently did
not possess.
"Oh. understand! he answered
feeaiAety.
Brand and Nolan went into the IL
brary to smoke. Hardly had they dis
appeared when Pitcher entered the
drawing room as an escort for Judge
Bartelny and his daughter Judith.
Brand bad not erred few minutes
previous when in the same room he
had pronounced the judge to be the
best handler of people" in the city.
The conversation which ensued be-
tween the jurist and his daughter as
they awaited their hostess well Illus
trated his reasons for accepting. with
his daughter, Mrs. Nolan's invitation.
When Pitcher had gone In search Of
Mrs. Nolan it was the girl who first
spoke
Father" she said, Il want you to
know that I've been to five teas this
afternoon. I'm doing you a great IA
vdr to come to this one"
Yes. my dear; appreciate it. but

The girl laughed shortly.
Now, this doesn't come under the
head Of social duties.'
"Oh. yes the judge answered
quickly. IF you view society in its
broader sense. Beyond your little
world Is a larger one where caste is of
small consequence and where all men
should be Of service to each other"
Put the Nolans-they certainly

toned tAs girl.
He glanced sharply at Judith.
But wish them 10 be. and we're
getting on-were getting on"

to illustrate your point, whatever it

Just imagine" said her father,
what one of those old fellows would
do in this case"
Eyes, suppose you're right. and in
the end you'll make these people see
how wrong they've been about you"
"Oh, yes!" he went on confidently.
"As they become accustomed to their
prosperity you will find that the demo

fed and ultimately vanish" He seat
ed himself near his daughter.
THAT would be terrible blow for

asked.

fondly on the shoulder.

guests.

"Oh. | wouldn't permit anything to

This confession filled the futtering

She could barely contain herself as she
in turn greeted Judith Bartelmy.
Pitcher announced another name
that appeared in the social register.
