Dupuy. now faring freed his hand rubbed It smartly wltu the other tc restore the cln-uiatluti to the Uattened veins, lie wuwlcd away to pick up his overcoat. Nolan now addressed MeUetiry, who bad seated himself at his desk. "You're the uiaiuiglng editor?" "Yes, sir." "Well, t Just want to tell you that that was a true article you had about that old byiKfcrlte, Judge liurtetuiy. this morning." he stated to Mclleury. "llave another tomorrow and strong er." Another Idea came to him. and he added. "Who was It got up that ono today?" Dnpuy felt tbat be must come to Me Heary's rescue. "A young man who has since resign ed." he interjected for the managing editor. Both McHenry and Dupuy were growing uneasy at the trend of Nolan's thoughts and words. A glimpse into the cranlums of them both at this moment would have re vealed the same thought to be pre dominating: "What is he driving atr Nolan appeared distinctly surprised at two things Orst. that the writer of the story had resigned; second, that Dupuy should bo so familiar with the matter. Ho took a step toward the latter. new bank merger on which he had been working when summoued by Mc S V.U..!,!!... " Henry. When ho finished he laid the I pages of copy ou the city editor's desk. lie dragged a chair to a window, sat down mill gated moodily down at the crowd of people hurrying along the street below It wus not his dismissal from the staff which ehletly concerned him. lie wns certain of obtaining another posi tion. In fact, his reputation along Newspaper row was such, and he felt Justifiable pride at the thought. that he would be at work within twen ty mluutes after leaving the Advance j office if he so desired. But what did occupy his itiliul t the exclusion of nl- most everything else was the consld " eration of what view Judith Harteiiuy would take when she heard the news of his dismissal She had warned him that he was sacrltlclng bis future In his attacks ou the powers that be Undoubtedly now she would be con- ; vlnced, as some ot tils friends had ! i ready endeavored to couvluce her. j thnu after all. lie was a tauatlc. an , Impractical dreamer, who could uot i accomplish his munition to right what , be bolloved to be gmit wrongs, wno could not, moreover, escape summary i dismissal from his puper. Hut he must go on. lie would go ou. lie would go that very night to a news paper that would not suppress nor qualify tte truth, one that would not distort facts nor misrepresent a sit nation in order to deceive the public, to which it was Its duty to give the truth. Yea, and he would show the big thieves of the city that even if they managed to remain superior to the law at least they could not remain superior to public opinion. The time had come when ' "Wheeler Urnnd! Wheeler Brand!" The voice of Nolan came to his ears I above the ticking of the telegraph In struments und the clicking or type- -writer keys. Brand started from his seat. De did uot recognize the voice. nor did any one ele In the smoky city room, as curious upraised faces around I him testified. It came from the man j aging editor's room, however, so he hastened to respond, wondering what , it could mean. , Brand entered McHeury's oftlrenml faced the three men, bis surprise m (creasing as he saw from the attitude of McIIenry and Dupuy that n nuge.

"1'am Nolan, the new owner," greet ed the stranger. Brand stepped forward and offered his band, which Nolan grasped. "How do you do.

I am Jerry Dolan, und I am back in the old town to pay my respects to my Xriendu and and" Ills rolce snook "to my enemies." The whole truth now dawned npou the amazed McIIenry and also upon Dupuy, who had been dealing with sit-u Ions enough to know that his ealy successful pose at the present aomrntous time would be a concilia tory one. He must at all hazards smooth oyer this dangerous factor la the city's affairs, the returned Jerry Dolan, and persuade blm that he was bow his friend. "Well, well," Dupuy began ingrati atingly, simulating a sickly smile, "this is a most interesting meeting ssost interesting, indeed." lie laughed ma loudly as the nervously contracting Hjuscles of his throat would permit "But It is time now to let bygones be bygones, eh, Mr, er ah" He again thrust forward the hand that the newspaper proprietor had refused to "Nolan," answered the nowcomer In ala deep, strong voice, "N-o-l-a-n, with an 'N and not a 'D on the front end of it. That's my nume now. I had to change it" He stoppod abruptly and again directed his dark eyes tncnac ingly on the faco of the man opposite aim. After a few moments he contin ued: "You see, Ed Dupuy, I was Mackllsted as Dolan. likely you'll temomher that too." Nolan reached out and, seizing Du pay'a hand, held Jt firmly, McIIenry, at one sldo, witnessed with a distinct ohock what he understood as Nolan's mdden resolve to, as Dupuy had sug gwited. let "bygones be bygones," else why should he shake hands with the jaaaT Dapuy also felt a thrill of pleas-ft-, evea ol triurojib, fiB 41818 "Resigned?" ho asked hi reverberat ing tones.

"What did be resign for?" "Some of the big advertisers forced kirn to." admitted McHenry calmly. A look of understanding flitted across Nolan's face. He shifted his glance from McHenry to Dupuy. Then, with a significant smile, be said: "I see you are still on the Job, Ed Dupuy." "Well, Ifs business" began the lob byist defiantly. But Nolan would not listen to him. Thoughts vastly more important than conjecture as to Du puy's motives now crowded his brain. "Where is Brand now?" he asked sternly of McIIenry.

"Discharged for 'beating the town on the story of the year," be muttered.
