ting us all out, Ed. The Despatch is sold -.
Ed tried to comment, but couldn't.
1T began losing little when the Old Man
fell sick. It's been losing very heavy for
a year, ever since Pingree took charge and
began hiring and firing circulation managers.
George, who's bought the Desbatch?'
That's the big laugh. The Sun"
The what!'
DOC Wigney's MidfeM Sun. At eight
tomorrow morning the Sun moves into the

Wednesday you can buy your first copy OF

sell the Despatch to the Sum"
Hes done it. For year he's had full
power of Attorney
Lambert protested weakly. But MIR.
Lincoln Holt always fought the Sun and the
man behind it, too - this Wigney.
Il don't suppose the Old Man was told
about the sale"
Eds horror grew But man like Wlgney

the Old Man s office up on the fourth floor -"

Old Mans heart because he'll never know
ANYTHING about it, The managing editor
stood up and counted off the four top en-
velopes. Here's the invitation to your funeral
and here are three more for your staff. Well,
see you in the Spanish Army. And if you meet
anybody wanting frank, vigorous opinion OF
Pingree Holt, send 'em to me.
The rest of the night for all concerned
had tendency toward incoherence. Liquid
consolation appeared. A double quartette
roamed the corridors singing,
"Pingree Holt is merry old soul
and other gems of an even more personal
nature Pingree had left early, which was
probably just as we'll. Ed contributed para
graph to the editorial, "Goodby to the
DesbafcH"; and, at midnight. led choked
chorus singing Aud Lang Syne." But most
of the time he spent with an unlit corncob
pipe in his mouth, staring at his files. When
the breakfast hour came, he joined the night
survivors in the restaurant next door.

bv HORATIO WINSLOW

And now worry, based on the memory of
some medical paragraph in the files, began
clamoring for Eds attention. Seven in the
morning is no time to get doctor out OF bed;
but Ed didn't hesitate. He stepped into the
telephone booth. ''Dr. Jepson? This is Ed
Lambert Of the Despatch. wanted to ask
about MIR. Lincoln Holt
''Yes, Mr. Lambert Yesterday morning
he woke at six and as usual had little
broth and looked over the Despatch An hour
later he slipped into coma I'm afraid it's
only matter of day or two -. Yes, you're
right, Mr.. Lambert At the end - before he
goes - therell probably be faint flare-up of
consciousness 1t may last some little time"
Ed replaced the receiver 1t was that
"fare-up of consciousness which had been
plaguing him. Catching up his hat, he left the
restaurant and hailed an early taxi.
The clerk at the Norlandie Arms refused
fatty to wake Mr.. Pingree Holt before the
appointed hour. So Ed fumed in the lobby
till Mr.. Pingree Hollis breakfast was sent to
his apartment. Ed followed in the wake of the
coffee, lean, tidy figure.
1t surprised and relieved Ed to observe
a visible change in the manner of his late
employer Up to this time Pingree Holt had
always received the hired hands with sort
of kindly condescenson. Now, in his fawn-
colored dressing gown and elaborate oriental
slippers, he bore himself as one man at arms
who greets another after the heat of battle
and offers a fraternal handshake. Though
irritating, this attitude promised well for

the favor which Ed had come to request.
L wanted to find out, - excuse me
for asking, - but does Mr. Lincoln Holt
know that - that the Despatch is sold:'
A family amused smile played around MIR.

You can be sure kept that from him. don't
mind telling you that the Despatch was losing
enormously and this man Wigney was very
"a insistent But refused to sell till - till
it didn't matter to my uncle
The doctor told me that before Mr.. Holt
dies, he'll wake up come to himself"
''Yes? Well, if that happens you can rely
on me, Lambert, to keep the news from him"
But you can't When the Old Man wakes
up he'll call for the Despatch. That's the first
thing he thinks about"
IF he wants to see Despatch III show him
a DESPATCH
You can't show him today's, Mr.. Holt;
there's too much valedictory in it..
Then III show him yesterdays
Ed Lambert took step forward. But he's
seen yesterdays Despatch already. And,
don't care how near dying he is the OLD Mans
got memory like steel trap. He'd know
something was wrong. And if he ever found
out the Despatch was sold ="
The amused smile left the face of young
Mr.. Holt That's bridge, Lambert, I'll
cross when come to it.. There was sugges-
ton that the call had lasted long enough.
But there's a way, Mr.. Holt. The new
papers going to be called the Sum- Despatch.
If you used your influence with Dr.. .Wigney,
couldn't you get him to keep the old mast
head for the next few days? Just till the Old
Man goes? Keep calling it the Desbatch?'
Sorry, Lambert, but there's no advantage
in continuing this discussion. A year ago my
uncle gave me power of attorney and author
ity to act in the best interests of the estate.
l believe I've done so. Good morning, Mr..
Lambert. Good morning"
The plan dawned on Ed when he woke from
his nap that day nap which lasted from
nine in the morning till four in the afternoon.
But he remembered with qualm that the
plans success depended on Doc Wigney; and
Doc had no reputation for being amiable with
strangers He was super
