"Hitve you received instructions 'about this story?" S•ey, "What were those instructions? is the story to be printed;" "•I am not at liberty to discuss with any outside person the comtnunlcatione I receive from the owner, but 1 wilt add for your information that the story will be on the press in n very few min tees." At this latest declaration of Brand's Judith could restrak• herself no longer. She rushed through the doorway, across the gritty floor, regardless of the flowing train of her silk gown. Brand rubbed the back of..his hand across his eyes as though they were deceiving kiln. "(peed God, it is JudIth!" he exclaim- ed./ Then he turned to his asslstaut. "Here, Mac, hurry—take this feral away." The girl's fiice and eyes were aglow With the effects of the nervous strain' under which she labored on that, ,epoch making and epoch breaking, night before the startled night shift of the Advance. "Wheeler, you're not going to usel that picture?" she pleaded. "Take the form away," again order-. ed Brand, his voice almost failing, ',him. "No, no; don't send it;fWait, wait!". She threw herself over the inky form,,. her arms outstretched. Brand tried to draw her away. "Judith, please!" he protested. "They can't have"— She was bys- •itericaL "Go to lunch, boys," ordered Brand Ito the typesetters. "We'Il miss the mail," protested Me - .;Henry. i "I don't care. Go to lunch." The compositors ceased work at the :;!!ootypes and, wondering and whisper - !ling, slowly filed out. "Judith," Brand besought her, "won't you"— "Listen to me, Wheeler," she broke lIn; "I know everything. Father has told mo everything abort—his—guilt. Xou understand what it means to me— what he is to me. You must spare him for me!" "Judith, it's impossible." !But it is the human thing to do, 0l1, forget these ideals. Be just a man—a, man who loves a woman and rotects her. You do love me, I know, in spite of everything that you've ,done." "Yes, I love you!" he cried fervently. "And Wheeler, dear, I've not chang- ed," she told him fondly. "I can see how right you mean to be in what you are trying to do, but in this you are wrong. Whatever my father may have done, his intentions were honest. He had been involved by others and when he tried to extricate himself it was too late. They, not he, were ;Lost Five Children With DIAf RHOEA :Saved the Sixth One With . iDR FOWLER'S ' Extract of 'Wild Strawberry.

It was for their sakes, not his own, that he offered you that money, so you see you are wrong. Why, !Wheeler, if you belonged to me and committed a crime I would die to shield you from the penalty." Brand answered her quickly. "That is wrong reasoning." "No, no; it is right. That must al- ways be," she cried. "It is like -like a law of life. Can't you see that tool I belong to you. Yes, I belong to you, and you sheuld shield me. You must feel toward my father as he were your own because he is mine, It's not pos- sible that youwould do this thing to your own father. Think of him that way—your own father! You'll not re- gret it. Pll make it up to you with all any love for all the rest of life! Wheel- er, say you will do what I ask." She broke down completely and sobbed brokenly, leaning across the form.' "'Ola, say you will do what I ask!" Brand tried to raise her, but she clung to him frenziedly. • "Judith, for God's sake, don't!" he said. "Yes, yes; you must, yon shall!" She Pi -- gle to decide between the father' who "You're drawing her down to your own levet." was losing all control of herself in h 1 desperation. "Judith, listen to me," he said in - 1 spirediy, "I'm not the man who loves ``you or Is loved by you. I've no right. Fto think of you or of myself. I'm an: ;instrument to an end in the history of a great God, Can't you see this thing as Ido?" "1 can't reason. I can't argue. I !can• only feel." The judge bad drawn a few steps away from the pair during the scene between them. He viewed with cal- culating satisfaction the battle that his daughter was waging so valiantly in his behalf, and be bad felt that not even the young stoic Brand could re- sist this powerful and anal appeal of the girl he loved. At his daughter's last outcry he drew near to the editor. "Brand, are you human?" he de- manded strongly, pointing to the pros- trated girl with his walking stick. "Human, human, Judge Bartelmyl" he exclaimed. "You are true to your- self to the end. You bring your daugh- ter here so that by torturing me with. the sight of her suffering you may es- cape the penalty of your thievery. I was willing she should think me heart- less to spare her the greater pain of knowing you as you are. But now you bring her here to her innocence to re- peat to me your lies. )(ou're degrad- ing her. dragging her down to your ewe levet, jest as you did her mother before her. If she lets you go on using tier it will be with her eyes open." Judith raised her head amazedty. "What are you saying?" she asked. Brand turned to her abd then to the judge. "Why, he's lied to got just as WS lied alt his life. t -le told you he was trying to shield others. He lied. He never shielded any one 'but himself. ,fudge !lark Imy, tbe power of men like you (host be destroyed. When justice is corrupted the nation rots. If 1 keep silent about you and your meth. oda 1 become your accomplice; 1 be. tray my truat just as yotl have betray- ed yotire.r" Bitrtetmy raised his s hand deprecat• !ugly. Brand, however, drew n deep breath and went resolutely on. ad spoke to both the gtri and the judge. "Judith, If at the Cost of niy life 1 iouid spare you this grief 1 would de it gladly. But even that would do no good. You would always despise the for failing when toy test came and til, ii ways despise yourself for having caus- ed me to fail. Oan't you see you and 1 are nothing in all; OW The individual does not exist, only the cause. Judge $artelnrf/, that story goes to press," be cried, raising his eyes to meet those of Judith's father. Bartelmy saw that he had played his last card. It was his highest trump, but it had failed to win. What Judith could not do be surely, under the existing circumstances, could not do. Nolan, the only man who could save him if he would, had gone, he knew not where. And it was now press time. All was over. Bartelmy took a single step to- ward his daughter. "Brand, that story is my obituary," he said in low tones. "oh, no," was the response in sad- dened voice. "Men like you don't fin- ish that way. You'll• have about six hours, judge, before that story is read by the public." Judith, too, was ready to admit that her last and culminating effort had been in vain. Wearied and unstrung, she raised herself from the fatal form that was to besmirch the name and the father that had been her source of pride. She crossed over toward her father, who stood silent and despair- ingly in the shadow of one of the lino - type machines. "Goodby, Wheeler. I am going out of your life forever. I am sorry it had to end like this—all our plans, all our hopes"— The thought of the happy moments that she had spent with Wheeler, buiidiug air castles for their future when they would be man and .wife, came over her. It swept down the wall of reserve and determination with which she had deemed it necessary to surround herself. She halted and gazed steadfastly into her father's face. Slowly she raised her hands and pressed them against^ her cheeks as though horror stricken. Then she turned, rushed impulsively back to Wheeler Brand, and, bending tensely toward him, she searched his strong young face as best her tear dimmed eyes would let her. He returned her, gaze unflinchingly. Judge Bartelmy saw the girl's strug. had dishonored her name and the lover who meant a Life of happiness, er purity, success and inspiration. He "Six hours, dict you say fr. Brand?" was wise enough in the ways of the world to know that again was Brand to prove a victor over him. The girl stood immovable a moment; Then she extended her arm toward her lover. Judith flartelmy had made tier choice. The judge's features showed but lit- tle ittle of the storm into which his emo. tions had been plunged. His years of practiced self control had come to tits( aid and enabled him to face the ruin of his career and his life and his name without the frenzied demonstra- tion in which most men in II1s post- tion would brave indulged. To the lust he was the cool, polished, suave bypocrite that he bad been in the be, ginning, when those who sought to loot the pnblle for private gain found him a willing tool, "Ile is right," Bartetmy said to Ju- dith. "Her 'has told you the trttth to- night—th'e,'ttbsolute truth." .He looked at his Watch. "Six hours, did you day, Alt Brand?" he asked.

The shock of the cold steel roused the sleeper. He opened his eyes and gazed fascinatedly at tbe instrument of death. with a cry of terror he relaxed his fingers, and the object dropped to the floor. He groaned the groan of a lost soul in the anguish of its never ceasing tor- ture. He turned his face to the wall and tried in vain to close his eyes in sleep. Judgment had been pronounced in the cast of "JUDGE BARTELMY VERSUS TUE PEOPLE, WHEELER BRAND AND THE ADVANCE." THE ETD. A Skylark For the Shelley Class. I have heard of a professor of Eng-, lisp in one of our universities who evi- dently felt that his department was laboring uuder disadvantages. Find- ing that his scientific colleagues were getting appropriations of astonishing liberality for illustrative apparatus, he put in his annual report a request for $5,000 for an aviary. When the presi- dent asked him to explain be said that it whs impossible for him to teach poetry properly unless be had an aviary connected with his class room. "Then." he said, "when the class is reading Shelley's 'Skylark' I reach my long handed net into the cage, catch a lark and hold it up to them. And when o we are studying The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' my assistant will be stationed in the gal- lery with a crossbow to shoot a real, live albatross on the platform, thus giving the students opportunities for observation that doubtless Coleridge himself never bad."—Independent, The Orang Outang. It is a most interesting sight to watch an orang outang make its way through the jungle. It walks slowly along the larger branches in a semi- erect attitude, this being apparently caused by the length of its arm's and the shortness of its legs. It invariably selects those branches which intermin- gle with those of a neighboring tree. on approaching which it stretches out its long arms and, grasping the boughs opposite, seems first to shake them as if to test their strength and then de- liberately swings itself across to the next branch, which it walks along as before. It does not jump or spring, as ,uonkeys usually do, and never ap- pears to hurry itself unless some real danger is present. Yet in spite of its apparently slow movements it gets along far quicker than a person run- ning through the forest beneath. The Poppy Be.. The poppy bee is the artist of the honey makers, though...she builds her nest in a hole in the ground, burrow- ing down about three inches. At the bottom she makes a large hole and lines it gloriously with the scarlet pet- als of the red poppy. She cuts and fits the gorgeous tapestry perfectly, ,then partly fills the cell with, honey, lays an egg, folds down the red blain k-ets and covers the hole so that it cannot be observed, leaving the baby 'bee to look after itself in its rosy nest.

The Love of Sea Fuad !Watt a Minim in the Tuna of t-tIOunutl,. Many famous persons .both ip mod. ern and ancient times have been known as devoted fish eaters. Fails, queen of Syria. was Bo fond of thilb that she .ordered all caught within the limit of her ltingdom to be hrought. to her in order that she Might be COP. tinually supplied with the choicest quality, Philosenea of Cytberia, opt loar'iling from his physician that he roust die of lndigestlon from having eaten excessively of ii delicious fish, said, "Be it so, but before 1 go allow me to finish what remains." Athens was a city of tisk eaters, and Its cooks were famous for their $:Howl• edge of cooking fish. Tile wise writ - ars of the day spent much time 1n re- cording recipes for preserving fish In salt, oil or herbs. There was a law in the eity that forbade a fishtnooger to sit down until he had disposed of all his stock on the ground that a stand- ing position made him moresubmissive and inclinedto sell at a reasonable Price. The Rowaus inherited from the Greeks their love for fish. Rome's sol- diers were•fed on fish, her generals ate fish, bel' senators were epicures in fish, and her emperors recognized no dish• more desirable than fish.. I.ucullus caused a canal to be cut tbrougb a mountain near Naples to bring un the sea and Its fishes to the center of the gardens of his sumptuous villa. The love of fish iu those days was, a mania. The red mullet was prized be- yond all food. A sauce called garum, made from the entrails and blood ot mackerel and other fishes, brought high prices, and great prizes were of- fered the man who could make a sim- ilar sauce out ot the liver ot the red mullet. In more modern times kings' have been known for their liking of fish. In the reign of Edward II. in England sturgeon could be served only on the king's table. In France fishmongers were licensed by the king. Louis .k 11. was so fond of fish he appointed six fishmongers to supply Ws table. Fran- cis I. had twenty-two and Henry the Great twenty-four. Under the reign of Louis XIV. fish eating became as popular at the French court as it,had ever been in Rome. A story is told that when fish failed to arrive from the seacoast in time for a grand dinner being given by the Prince of Conde to the king the prince's chef, an illustrious purveyor of fish, was so chagrined be ran to his chamber, took his sword and pierced his heart.—Boston Globe. 7 Forgetful. Absentminded Annette belongs to a club of young women in the west end of town. She went to a bridal shower given by the club and left her present at home. "I'm so sorry that I forgot it," she said. "Never mind," the other girls told ,her. "You can send it around later." A few weeks later the club gave an- other bridal shower, and again An. nette left her gift at home. ",Do you know what I've done?" she said when she discovered her mistake, "I've forgotten my present." No one felt disposed to help her out "But, then," she added, "didn't one of the girls forget her present last time, and didn't we say it would be all right if she sent it around later? I'm sure that happened to somebody." —Newark News. Hampered by Conventionalities. Washington was crossing the Dela• ware river at Trenton. "Of course," be said, "I don't mind standing up in this boat and gazing sternly in the direction of the unsus- pecting foe, since the artists insist on depicting me in this absurd attitude, but the blithering chumps ought to snow better than to paint these blocks of floating ice projecting a foot above the water. Any man with an ounce of gumption knows that the ice in this river isu't eight feet thick." Angered by these reflections, he fell upon the Hessians shortly afterward with extreme ferocity.—Chicago Trtb. une. Easy.
