Identity of the t'lalrou'e owner, la
two days he dl.-vovrett that check
for $45,0t0 to the order of Cole and
sUrmxl bjr Matthew Brand had been de
posited In tue Sivond Natioual batik
Also be discovered that Hrand spent
most of every day at the Clarion office
aud that It was roiumon talk in the
build inn that t'ole took orders from
Brand and followed them Implicitly oo
all Important niattcrs.
Brand was the new owner of tbe pa
per. There win no question about It.
Iimcan thnronchly startled
when be received tbe newa. Matthew
Brand, mlliioualre, would be a difficult
man to brat. A man whom be knew
to bar toot wolves on the Siberian
plains and tlier In the Bengal Jun
gle had nerr to apare, and. backed by
nilUiona, he would be no mean foe for
any one.
There was something else about this
unwelcome newa that agitated Dun
can.
He, too, was in lore with Eleanor.
Though fifteen rears her senior, he
had long dreamed of making her his
bride, Throuich bla Intimacy with her
father he had mas ouiwrttinlttee to
enjoy uer pieaeucv aud enaearor V
cooTlnce her of bla desirable qualities
Duncan l.new of Mjittbew'a atten
tions to Eleunor IU- bad u I way a bat
ad him. And now his rival turned oat
to be the foniinter of all the trouble
that bad overtaken the Boyd corpora
tion. Duncan stalked excitedly up and
down bis ottice. lists clinched, lie
chewed savagely at the end of a cigar
"I'll put him out of ray way by hook
or by crook." be muttered. Til have
tbe law on titin In some way or do
something worse."
He seized bU hut hurriedly and pro
ceeded to see I'reslilent Boyd
Boyd gaped In oikmi mouthed aaton
isbment when be receive! Duncau's
sensational report
"Why," be ejaculated, "that treacher
oua whelp has been a steady caller at
my bouse, lie baa wined and dined
with me. Ue is very foud of Eleanor
lie wants to marry her, 1 believe. Yet
be has tbe audacity to attack me and
my buHluesa. We bare simply got to
eruHb that upstart reformer On tbe
editorial page today they bad a car
toon showing me as a slave driver
cracking a long lash over tbe heads of
a lot of laborers. On another page waa
photograph of a scene In the Sacc-
Oxone factory showing a row of girls
and one coughing as though she bad
consumption." ...
"How did they get that photograph?"
asked Duncan.
"On, by aueaking reporter with a
small camera lnalde tbe building while
the department manager waa at lunch
a fine performance for an alleged
honest man and a gentleman, I say 1"
responded the millionaire. "Ton nev
er can tell what they'll try to do next"
That very evening, while Boyd and
Duncan were plotting the niln of
Brand. Col and tbe Clarion, Eleanor
returned to ber home from Canada.
Brand found a note from ber asking
him to come over and see her and tell
her what he had accomplished for tbe
public's good. Brand knew not what
to do since he bad entered tbe battle
In earnest He dually decided to go.
but determined not to give up the fight,
no matter what happened.
Brand called on Eleanor, realizing In
his heart that a vital crisis was soon
to come. Tbe girl welcomed him most
Joyously. She noted that bis face
showed signs of worry and care. At
the same time Duncan and the detec
tive were closeted with Boyd. While
Brand was telling Eleanor of bis cam
paign with tbe Antl fnhercnlosls socie
ty to wipe out the dread disease and
the bad laboring and IiourIuk condi
tions, she wim very enthusiastic and
commended him upou his great pur
pose. They were trying to get tbe may
or to aid them, he told her. Tlmt offi
cial bnd. In fart, at a public bearing
already , romiaed to favor tbe bulldlnc
of a sanatorium.
Eleanor became so enthusiastic that
she determined that ber father must
hear the story, but Brand knew what
such a happening would mean, tie
discouraged ber. but the girl believed
ber father would be Interested and
hurried to the library, where Boyd
was closeted with his hireling. She
begged blm to listen to Matthew.
Boyd nearly exploded with rage
when he beard of Brand's presence In
his home; but, controlling himself, be
anally took Duncan along to hear the
story.
But the sight of Brand was too much
for Emmerson Boyd, who had never
been noted for what la generally known
as a mild temper.
Get out of my house!" he roughly
cried, walking swiftly toward him.
You are a liar, a blackmailer and a
cur! You can t mane any irnce wiui
me! It's war to tbe knife! Go!"
Rrand slowly retreated and departed.
with Eleanor gazing fondly after him.
Yes, It's war to the knife," said
Duncan slowly and significantly to the
desperate medicine king.
CHAPTER IV.
Duncan'a Plan of Revenge.
DUNCAN drew Boyd to one side
ufter the blustering scene In
which Brand left the Boyd
uuiue.
I have a most delicate matter to
briug before you." be said slowly
"What Is ttr queried Boyd.
Duncan hesitated.
"11" be stammered.
"What's the matter, man? Speak
up. prompted uoya. i never saw you
so undecided aud nervous before."
Duncan drew In a deep breath.
"Well, Emmerson." he at last man
aged to say. "I love your daughter. I
ant to marry ber."
Boyd drew back. To say that he
waa startled would hardly describe bis
emotions.
Well, of all things!" be exclaimed
"Why, man. 1 thought you too sensible
a person to even think of dropping
your luxurious life of bachelor's ease.
No. I don't want to be sensible if
that means giving up Kleanor. 1 love
her. 1 think she caree for me."
-How about Brand. I wonder!" said
Boyd thoughtfully. "He's got tbe In
side track. I fear, and 1 most apoil his
plans. If Eleanor married him I
otild disinherit ber."
"Will yon consent to let m ask

After a pause:
-Yea."
Dancao's face lightened.
"All right. Bleea yon for those
words. I'll ask her now. She Is"
No," Interrupted Boyd. "There Is

Duncan's face beamed.
"Leave that to we. It will be done
