He knew now that he was atj • the mercy of Brand and the Advance to a degree that he hardly dared to. estimate, lie turned around and walked back. to the desk, Brand was stili standing; in his puce, looking fixedly at the' judge. Barteimy was not beaten yet, He knew that he would not be beaten un-; tie the Advance appeared in the streets spreading fortb to all the world the story of his shame. Shaking from head to foot in his- rage, he pounded the desk and cried out: "You have gone to all your trouble for nothing. I am going direct to Mr. Nolan's house, and in Iess than an hour you will receive orders to kill that story—that dastardly pack of Iles you want to print!" Brand smiled calmly. He gathered the $10,000 in bilis, which lay scatter- ed on the desk where Bartelmy had thrown them when he dashed for the! camera. "I'll keep these as evidence," he said.. "When they have served their purpose; we will return them to you, or maybe we will send them to the minority; stockholders in the Lansing Iron come pang. That's who the money probably belongs to." Bartelmy accepted the situation, wlthf stoical composure for the time. He' saw that he would have no Ounce in' -a hand to hand struggle with `the, young athletic editor for possession of the money. Besides, he must see No-, Ian—must see him at once.. That was the most important matter to which be should now attend, He walked deliberately to the closet, and secured his hat and coat. He tamed the key and went out of the door leading to the outer hall. As the judge disappeared Wheeler; Brand sank heavily into his chair. He "You count the money, judge." spread his arms on his desk and bow- ed his head between them until hiss •cheek rested on the coot polished sur-, face. "Judith, Judith!" he sobbed, and hist •body shook uncontrolledly as he wept ,for the girl he loved. CHAPTER XII.

Midnight in the offices of the Ad- vance on the night that Judge Bartel -I my's photograph was taken with $10, 000 of bribe money in his hands found' the staff of the paper in all depart ments working as probably they had never worked before, except on elec. tion night. The story required con• siderable. time for preparation. The` notes of Howard and Jetr, the two re. porters who recorded the conversation- of Brand and Barteimy, bad to be' translated from shorthand into lenge MIL 'Then an introduction aid a' head had to be written, -and the art department had to break all previous' records in turning.,out a cut made from the photograph resulting from the fiashllgbt. In the composing room men were working like galley slaves to get the great Barteimy exposure story into type and into the forms. The com- posing room in the Advance building was a "double decker" --i. e., a seeondl story had been built in the rear part , of the room to accommodate the proof readers. This second story was really, but a half story, extending out over: a portion of the composing room, and the walls were partitions, the lower' half of wood and the upper half oi'r glass windows. On the lower floor the linotype ma• chines were set in rows. A steam table) loomed on one side. On another table,' an ironbound one, rested the galleyid containing matter for the night's edt-1 tion of the paper. At the extreme left of the room a wooden partition -shot oft the small office that the managlrig editor used at night when he snperin-: tended the makeup proceedings. A7 door opened.into this small roam from' the outer hall, close to a door ripen -1 Ing from the hall into the composing' room itself. At the opposite end of . the compartment a door opened into' the composing room. inhis small inti.' ' closure Brand, the managing editor,: had a desk and a telephone. Adjoin-' ing the partition, which shut him' oft" from the composing room and on the outside of it, was a desk used by the copy cutters, who cut the pages of manuscript—after they had, been past- ed together -into "takes." A take is one of the sections into which a story!, is cut, so that several compositors can work on different parts of the samei story simultaneously, resulting in tbe saving of considerable time in setting The typesetting machines'cticked-oft rapidly the words, Sentences and para- graphs of the Bartelmy "beat" and the other stories which bad to be crowded into the "mail edition." Brand was in his little room at the right, reading the proof of the introduction of the account of the accusation of the United States judge, which introduc- tion be had chosen to write himself. MoEienry, the deposed managing ed- itor and now Brand's assistant, was at the forms with the makeup men. .

"That Clinton street fire is gettin better every minute," he said to M Henry, "We ought to have at leas four columns on it." McHenry glared at the speaker. "Are you crazy, man?" he exclaime "Do you think we use rubber typ. You'll have to keep it in three." Downs was dissatisfied. "All right. This shop is going to fi d—1," he answered, shaking his he negatively. He went out of the cone - he posing room. McHenry went over to one of t makeup stones. "Where are the cuts for the Cbicag0 and Bryan jump heads? 1 can't tf them anywhere," he asked. "Stere they are," answered one o the makeup men, "Alt right. They go there," He poin ed to a space in one of the forms a a boy handed him another cut. Mc- Henry held it up to the light and bu tied into Brand's office with it.

"Yes; you can almost count th money in old Bartetmy's handl" he e8• claimed, and' be peered closely onC more at the metal slab. . Brand meditated a moment.

"They'd give tilt shirts off their backs to beat us on 1 story like this or to keep us from doing it to them." As McHenry went out of the does Into the composing room Sylvestel Nolan dashed into Brand's room frog the hall through the other door.

"What are you going to do?" "Never mind what we'll do." Dupuy now delivered the prize threat that he had saved for use in the last extremity, Should it arise, and he was justified in assuming that it had arisen. "A. temporary injunction would cer- tainly issue in a case like this," he said sternly. "I'll get one and close your shop." "Sure! That's the thing!
