bunch Of copy" which he looked at in
dismay.
Look here, boy" said Sphinx. II am
an old-time telegfapher. | know this
stuff you've got has right of way, but |
must get my story to my paper. Let
me sit in for you, 50 we can get
through in reasonable time"
The operator was happy man. Re-
leasing his key, Billy Sphinx took 1t up
and sent the whole story faithfully to
the Republican. And then! Then he
had Frank O'Neils story, and it was
the biggest story OF the year.
But he never sent it to the Globe
Democrat. He sent his own little story
which he had picked up. Then he quit.
He told Joseph B. McCullagh, manag-
ing editor OF the Globe-Democrat, that
he was ready to resign.
II got the story was after, but.
considering the way I got it, I don't
think could in honor use 1t" he said.
But his resignation was not accepted
and somewhere. these nights, the moon
is shining on the grave Of high souled
man, who under outrageous provoca-
ton, surrendered his ambition to what
he considered his self respect.
