"You mustn't mind what mother says," Nolan said to Brand. "She's {been kind o' lonely since she came !hack to New York." i The editor's heart swelled with sym- pathy for the woman whose ambitions for herself and her daughter had ;caused the bitterest pain that injured pride can give. He saw that it would vie difficult for her to learn that social position in a big city can be won only 'by skillful maneuvering, the ability to Ido which Mrs. Nolan apparently did riot possess. ! "Oh, I understand!" he answered !feelingly. Brand and Nolan went into the li- ibrary to smoke. Hardly had they dis- appeared when Pitcher entered the drawing room as an escort for Judge •Bartelmy and his daughter Judith. • rand bad not erred a few, minutes revious when in the same room he ad pronounced the judge to be the est "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. hen Pitcher had gone in search of ;Mrs. Nolan it was the girl who first spoke. "Father,"' she said, "I want you to ;mows that I've been to, five teas this Ill "This doesn't come under the head of social duties." r,kafternoon.

"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 mall consequence and where all men hould be of service to each other." "But the Nolans—they certainly haven't been of service to you?" ques- tioned the girt , He glanced sharply at Judith. ._"13iisvlis •tl em tui be, &u4 isiiii , etting on—we're getting• on." t "Their paper keeps going for you. !just as much as ever, father. 1 don't •suppose one ought to mind it, but 1 , do."

"Yes, I suppose you're right, and in the end you'll make these people see bow 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 gogism of their paper will be modi- fied and ultimately vanish." He seat- ed himself near his daughter. "That would be a terrible blow for Wheeler, wouldn't it?" she suddenly asked. "Wheeler! Ob, Wheeler! . He's an entirely different type—the idealist, the fanatical idealist. I'm sorry. I always liked the boy. His heart's all right, but his head's all wrong, and I hope he's merely passing through a phase." "I don't think you quite understand. 'Wheeler, father," responded Judith, rising. He took hold of the girl's hands. "Oh, yes, I dol Just now he has lost himself in a labyrinth, and it will take an Ariadne to lead him out. I believe the right woman might bring him to reason." He paused,,slgnificantly. Ju- dith lowered her eyes. from his. "I forgive him any annoyance he may have caused me, and I hope you will forgive him too. I want you and Wheeler to be friends again and, like the princess in the fairy stories, live happily ever after." He patted her fondly, on the shoulder. Mrs. Nolan entered the room and, aglow with excitement, greeted her guests. "Judge Bartelmy, I hope you haven't been waiting long?" she inquired anx- iously. "Not at all." "It is so good of you to come."_ "Oh, I wouldn't permit anything to keep me awayl" he replied. "I've just had the pleasure of adjourning a. rath- er important conference to be here." This confession tilled the fluttering heart of Mrs. Nolan with pure ecstasy. She could barely contain herself as she in turn greeted Judith Barteltuy. Pitcher announced another name that appeared in the social register. "Mr. Dupuy," be uunouueed. He had come to keep bis appointment with •Nolan. • • "How do you do, Mr. Dupuy*:" greet- ed the hostess, shaving trends warmly with him. "here's Judge iiarteuny. He's just adjourned a must uupurtaut conference to coine to our tea, Pitch - tell Mr. Nolau the judge and Mr. Dupuy are waiting gay' the judge nits just adjourned his court to court. Nils riarteltuy, Phyllis wits be so delighted to see you." She grasped Judith's arm and led her to u door, speuiclug rapidly as she did so. "Phyllis wants to show you per new gown Quinlan brought over from Naris. very stnart effect, but WO, and you r•nuld bold it to the palm of your two handy -a vagi" "An amusing character' our hostess," commented Bartelmy dryly to Uupuy. "I'es: she seems very appreciative of your daughter's visit." "Weil," derislvely, "she certainty ,aught to be." "1 suppose we snail see it ill the Ad• ranee tomorrow.' suggested 1.)uptly, "Ob. ot course:" Bartelmy duughed amused ty. "By the way." remarked Uupuy, "did you see the evening papers?" A serious loot: came into Bartelmy's face as be said: "I glanced over thein on my way up- town, and their accounts of my deer sion this morning are not at all objec- tionable." "No blood drawn," said Dupuy reas- suringly. "A little surprising, too, for the Lansing Iron people have been in pretty bad odor with the public ever since the receivership matter last year." "That was the beginning of all these attacks upon me. 1 hope the morning papers will treat me fairly." "Oh, there will be no trduble 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 silghtest hesitancy at using his beauti- ful and accomplished daughter as a decoy itt 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 dtsdppear; secondly', by prevail- !ng on her to pay attention socially bathe Nolan family be lives confident • that the oCvnec et 'the Advance would capitulate and become bis friend. As for Judith, she little comprebeuded the entire significance of her father's atti- tude, and if she had, her frauk, genu- ine nature, which revolted at trickery and deceit, would not have permitted her to continue to do his bidding. She admired and loved her Lather. She knew that her mother before ber had aided her father in his work and ambitions to a 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 father nothing beyond what he him- self bad taught her to believe—that they were the efforts of envious men or igkorant reformers or misguided fanatics, who assailed him entirely witbout 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 home on this day. It would seem, no matter how low he had sunk, that he would have denied that he had ever employed her unsuspectingly 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 lobbyist's remark that he had done "just the right thing to bring Miss Judith today" he replied with his char- acteristic coolness: "Oh, in matters of this kind my daughter is of the greatest help to, me!" After a moment he continued, "I don't' at all like your idea, Dupuy, of my proposing this man Nolan at the club." "That's our trump card," insisted the other. "Every man has his price— even this young Brand if we could only find out what it is." 8 f CHAPTER VII. RAND and Nolan came but of the library after their smoke and were surprised to find Judge Bartelmy and Du- puy iu the drawing room. Brand did not appear enthusiastic at the circum- stance and, nodding study in the gen- eral direction of the two men, proceed- ed to circle around them toward the door leading to the ball 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 Brand's dexterous ma- neuver toward the door, and on calling to him not to go be halted, turned to- ward the center of the room and stood watching the strangely assorted group of men. Nolau next addressed Dupuy, who expressed his thanks at the granting ot his request for du interview. Judge Bartelmy, always quick to no- tice every detail or phase of what was transpiring in his immediate presence, saw that Brand was i1l at ease. He called to him cheerily: Jly daughter and 1 were just speak- ing of you, 1Vheelbr. The reformer. sails a treacherous sea." -The port is in sight. Judge Bartel - my," was the calla answer. Bartelmy would have made a suc- cess ou the stage. In fact, be bad been acting a part most of bis life and proved the truth of Lticbard Mans- field's aphorism that "the best actors are uever seen on the stage." At Wheeler Brand's significant reply, which smote as ominously on the ears ot the judge as ft did on those of Du- puy, the jurist gave an inward shiver quite imperceptible to the eye and re- plied in the most jovial of manners: "So? So? That's good. That's worth while. Stick to the helm, my boy,", he laughed. "Brand ain't at sea, judge," put in Nolan good naturectly. "De's in the clouds. The air tip there makes your nose oleed; but, uy `the Eternal, you see all that's going on down here."' There Was much "going On down here" that Bartelmy by all means pre. ferred to bare remain unseen, yet be managed to reply, With an attempt at sincerity: "More power to you, Wheeler!. More power to you!" Nolan stepped toward the jurist. "You're a generous foe, Judge Bar- telmy," he said warmly, deceived by the smooth tactics 6f the judge. "Foe? That'd hardly the word," re - "YES; I7!

"He'll outgrow that, judge. You nev- er will," remarked Dupuy, crossing to Notan's side. "But under every system of free gov- ernment," pronounced Bartelmy in his best judicial manner, "there have al- ways been conservative and liberat parties, whose leaders, while they dif- fered perhaps in method, have been stimulated by an equal love of coun- try." "That is true, Judge Bartelmy," said Brand, "but 1 can't concede that you belong to the conservative party." The judge showed surprise. "But 1 don't understand you," be stammered, when Brand went on de- terminedly: "Are you not seeking to introduce into our couutry methods of govern- ment undreamed of by our forefa... thers?" The judge laughed as though in agreeable tolerance. His skill at ver- bal parrying was standing him in good stead. "Oh, I had as much enthusiasm my- self in my youth," he said, "but my legal training has forced upon me a certain unfortunate exactitude of thought. But come, come. We old lawyers have long since learned that we cannot carry. Our quarrels out of court. For instance, of a morning my best friend, Judge Culver. may be at drawn swords with me over some point of law, but the same evening will find us hail fellows well met, exchang- ing stories before a club fire." Nolan nodded his head Understand - "Yes, judge, that's llfe--that's life,"• he commented. "Mit the laws 61 bur country are framed up in clubs," interjected Dti- PUy Bartelmy raised bis hand and made a gesture of disapproval. "I tvolgldn't ray that."• ity $lraYld eavr an opportunto !scorer "Likewise the safest methods of evading the laws are framed tip in clubs," he shot at Uupuy. Bartelmy pretended to side with Brand. "That's neat, Wheeler," be laughed. "He scored off you that time, Dupuy." Bartelmy paused. He bad now reach- ed a point where be was about to make his supreme effort to capture Nolan and the Advance, to make them ' friendly to him. He was about to play what Dupuy bad truthfully term- ed "the trump card." "By the way, Mr. Nolan, Judge Culver and I usually dine two or three times a week at the Oak Door club. We need you there. We should have a man in all our discussions of public questions— we should have a practical man of affairs who knows what reformers like our young friend here are really try- ing to get at. Shall I propose you for membership?" Dupuy watched the effect of Bartel- my's words on Nolan with intense eagerness. it was 00 anxious moment for both Dupuy and Bartelmy. 1f Nolan accepted they felt that they were safe. As for Nolan, 110 was greatly perplexed. He wanted to ac- cept the proffer, bath for bis own sake and for his family's. Membership in the Oak Door club was equivalent to a ticket of admission Into the fashion- able circles of the city. He would be able then to put blit wife and daugn- ter in the way at gratifying their de- sires. Sylvester, too, would be bene- fited In whatever business career he should take up, and the membership would enable him to meet and make his personal frtends the most promi- nent ;nen 01 the city—the men be tat - Orally craved to assoelate with—en terms of equality. Then he 'svelte: "Really, judge," he said warmly, "that's something that 1 never expect- ed to hear from your lips." "Not at alt; not itt ail! 1 shaft be delighted to put you up, and Dupuy will second me."
