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;

Bartelmy accepted the situation, wlthf

young athletic editor for possession of

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.

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

editor used at night when he snperin-:

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

The typesetting machines'cticked-oft

graphs of the Bartelmy "beat" and
the other stories which bad to be

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.
