A team OF horses belonging to the

Brand refuses and orders the page sent
to the stereotyping room, but Nolan,
the owner of the paper, arrives and
orders Brand to suppress the story
offering Brand a substantial raise In
salary. Brand, seeing that his struggle
for truth and decency avails nothing, Is
about to do as Nolan has ordered, when
he suddenly resolves to order the page
to press in defiance of the orders OF
Nolan. Judith, who stands in the back

the dialogue between her father and
the man she loves, and for the first time
she understands that she has been tho
tool Of a scheming and calculating
parent, and rushes into Brands arms.
OF course, the page does not go to press
and It Is presumed that Brand, with his
ideals, rushes out into the night to dis
seminate his socialistic and reformatory
theories to the waiting world from a
