"Is Mr. llrnnd In there!" "Here; you can't go In there," n voice was heard In warning, and llrand looked up. "Oh, yes. I can," was the cool re- M claimed, nnd he peered closely ouco more nt the metal slab. Brand meditated a moment. "I'm going to change the makeup on lending dally paper In a big , that Pn" 00 decided.

As McHenry went out of th9 door into the composing room Sylvester Nolan dashed Into Brand's room from the hall through tho other door. The lad was plainly excited, his face show ing an amount of animation that, for him. was a decided novelty. His eyes flashed and his breath caino in short gasps, indicating that he bad been hurrying. "Where's my father, Mr. Brand? Where is he?" he gasped. Brand suspected something of the Nolan son's errand.

The xotes or uowaru and Jeff, the two re porters who recorded the conversation at Brand and Bartelmy, bad to be translated from shorthand into Eng- nsn. xnen an introduction and a bead bad to be written, and the art department had to break all previous xecords in turning out n cut made from the photograph resulting from the flashlight. In the composing room men were working like galley slaves to get the great Bartelmy exposure story into type and into the forms. The com iwslng room In the Advance building was a "double decker!, e., a second story had been built In the rear part of the room to accommodate the proof readers. This second Btory 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 of Class windows. On the lower floor the linotype ma cblues were set In rows. A steam table loomed on one side. On another table, as Ironbound one, rested the galleys eoatalnlng matter for the night's edl Mtm of the paper. At the extreme left f the room a wooden partition shut 9tf the small office that the managing editor used at night when he snperin-1 seeded the makeup proceedings. A Aoor opened into this small room from the onter hall, close to a door open-' toff from the hall Into the composing room Itself. At the opposite end of the compartment a door opened Into the composing room. In his small in- closure Brand, the managing editor, sad n desk and a telephone. Adjoin tog the partition, which shut him off from the composing room and on the sstslde of It, was a desk used by the copy cutters, who cut the pages of aanuscrlpt-after they had been past ed togetber-lnto "takes." A take is we of the sections into which a story Ig cut, so that several compositors can 5rork on different parts of the same atery simultaneously, resulting in the saving of considerable time in setting f The typesetting machlUGs clicked off rapidly the words, sentences and para' graphs of llle Bartelmy "beat" and titt Other stories which hud to be ewwded Into the "mall edition." Brand was In his little room at the right, reading the prouf of the introduction of the uceuuiit of the uccusutlou of the TJuIted States Judge, which Introduc tion he had chusuii to write himself, McIIenry, the deposed managing ed itor and uow lira mi's assistant, was ut the forms with the makeup men. A boy rushed lu with a cut for Mc Henry. The busy editor squinted ut It and waved the hoy to one side. "Why do they send us this baled hay when we've got u live one?" he said -disgustedly. Downs came In from the city room, "That Clinton street Ore Is getting better every minute," he said to Mc Henry. "We ought to hnve nt least four columns on It." McHenry glared ut the speaker, "Are you crazy, munV" he exclaimed. "Do you thluk we uso rubber type? , Yu'll have to keep it lu three." Downs was dissatisfied. j "All right. This shop is going to tho "Well, this thing's gone far enough," "TTiat cut U a wonder, Macl snapped Sylvester. "In the absence of my father I forbid it Do you hear?" Brand took up a bundle of proofs and moved to the door. "I'm afraid I can't take orders from jou," he said, and he stepped calmly out into the composing room. Sylvester, nonplused, looked about uncertainly for a moment Then, with asuddcn thought, he went to the tele phone. He placed the receiver at his ear. ''Hello! Hello! I'm Mr. Sylvester Nolan. Get me the bouse on the wire, please." An office boy entered. "What do you mean by trying to prevent me rrom coming up nerer asked yor g Nolan. "My orders." "You're discharged." The boy grin- ned amusedly and hurried out. "Hello! Hello!" continued Sylvester at Jbe telephone. "Is this you, moth er? I want to speak to father. I'm at tho Advance office. Hell's breaking loose here, and I want him to come down quick. Isn't he there? Where Is he? Expecting him any minute? Obi Jump in a taxi and come down, will you? All right. Good!" ne hung up the receiver and walked swiftly Into the hall to leave the build ing. Downs and Brand entered the little room. "There is a big fire In 01 in ton street," the for mer said. "Mc Henrv won't clvo "Jump in a taxi and 0 roora, but I'vo got to have it" "That's it The good stuff always comes lu bunches," said Brand, show ing his disgust ''What else you got?" j our game! This muck raking maula Is sweeping the country like a disease, breeding madmen everywhere. Brand, this is your finish!" He shook his fist vio lently. Brand Jumped up In anger and strodo toward the lawyer lobbyist "Now, you get out of here or III throw you out!" he announced hotly. "You will, will you? You Just wait!" Dupuy backed slowly out of the door- war. Brand hastened out into tho com posing room. "Mac, they're beginning to squirm already!" he cried. "We'll make them squirm more in the morning." responded the night edi tor significantly. (To Be Continued.) Lcarnlna the Value of Land. R. A.
