demand that Wheeler Brand be dto
charged from the Advane.

"Sorry, old man," spoke McHenry
kindly. "If I didn't hara n family I'd
co west with you."
"If It wasn't for men baring faml
lies." put In Dupuy philosophically,
"thero'd bo n rcrntutlon."
Itraml Htrnlghtenetl up and. with a
contemptuous expression on his face,
utartcd toward tho door.
"You've got nioro heart than sense,
Mcllenry." was the parting shot
which he hurled nt tho managlug edi
tor, "Pretty tough on a reporter to tiro
him for Scooping' tho town ou a big
itory." said the managing editor.
"Oh, pshaw!" gruutcd Dupuy.
A boy entered with a card. Dupuy
crossed to a chair and picked up hla
nrercoat.
"Mr. Nolan, sir." the lad nnnounced,
with an amusing grimace. "He's the
new boss, aud he's got a couple o
mitts on 'Im like Jim Jeffries. CSe,
but I'll bet Nolan la there with tb'

Dupuy pat his overcoat bach on the
chair. Hla luck was atlll holding good,
he congratulated h!melf. Here was a
chance to make the actiualntance of

Henry's mlml. He felt Instinctively
as lie glared at McUeury tbat he bad
the managing editor "on the run."
During the period of the Insurance
company's ownership there bad been
do doubt tbat the decision of the man
aging editor of the Advance would
have been in favor of Dupuy and bla
Jemand for the discbarge of Wheeler
Brand. And the lawyer, like McUenry,
knew nothing of the new owner tbat
Would change the attitude of the pa
per. Dupuy was right In bis estimate of
ilcllenry's weakness. The lawyer lob
byist was playing In rare fortune. In

man who dured not stand for the

position of importance In many other

be know "the power of the press"
throughout all America, for be bad
learned at bitter cost tbat It was the
toe of all the Ed Dupuys and all those
that employed them to servo their
ends. t
Finally McUenry spoke In answer to
Dupuy'a demand.
"Let us give Brand one more
chance!" protested McUenry. "I'll put
blm on baseball or .water front. Come,
now."
"I will be candid with you. I was

now. If s his- last chance,"
A boy entered.
"Ask Mr. Brand to step in."
"I'd rather take a licking than do
this." protested McHcnry.
Dupuy was unsympathetic.
""Well, he's only got himself to
thank!" be snorted.
Wheeler Brand came In.
"Mr. Brand." began the managing
editor, "there Is a kick being made on
the Bart el my story of this morning."
"Yes, sir: 1 suppose so." Brand looked
Hp and saw Dupuy. and the reporter's
face showed tbat be understood.
"1 forward the kick to you. indorsing
It O. K.." said McHcnry. "In other
words, tbe kick goes."
"Why. what"
"This is a practical world." inter
posed Dupuy.
Brand grew bitter, for well he knew
the practices of Dupuy.
"Oh, yes; 1 know the patter a world
of live and let live. We must be very
careful before imputing motived, eh.
II r. Dupuy? Does not the good book
say, 'Let blm tbat Is without sin among
you cast tbe Grst stone at United
States Judges.' "
"Wheeler, Wheeler." cried McHenry,
"we only ask you in to talk it over
calmly!"
"Tbat man has hit me In the dark
before," exclaimed Brand. "This Is
the first time tbat be has come Into tbe
tight."
"I desire to say that my clients," put
In Dupuy, "like a great many other of
the ah subscribers to this paper,
were dlsappoluted at what they con
ceived to be an unwarrantable attack
full of Insinuations about one of the
most distinguished members of tbe
United States bench, and they wish
merely as readers of the paper to ex
press tbe hope tbat nothing of tbe sort
Will occur again. In which case they
ere wilting to overlook this morning's
article eutlrely-to, in fact, regard it
merely as a mistake, a mistake made
without malice."
"You mean 1 am to have another
chance to bold my Job If I'll bo good
from now on?" asked Brand.
Dupuy once more became complacent
"Such. I believe. Is Mr. McHenry'B
decision," be announced calmly,
"You certainly have your gall. Du
puy," cried Brand In menacing tones,
"to tblnk you can muzile me for $40 a
week. I've paid more than tbat for the
privilege of fighting you."
The lawyer turned quickly to tbe
managing editor.
"You better let blm go. McHenry,"
be suggested. "He's a crank,"
Wheeler Brand was amazed at the
way In which McHenry allowed Du
puy to lunueuru blm.
"Does he glvo you orders?" he asked
meaningly of tbe tnauuglug editor.
"Yes, my boy; he does, aud 1 accept
your resignation."
Tbe reporter was by no means
daunted by his discharge,
."I'm sorry for you." be cried, Inclin
ing toward McHenry,
Dupuy laughed significantly.
"Iteserve your sympathy for your
self, youug man," be advised tbe
young newspaper writer.
"Iteserve your sympathy for Bar
telmy; he'll need It before long," was
bis cutting retort.
"ObJ Is tbat so?" sneered Dupuy,
"Go west and grow up with tbe coun
for If you hang around here to
from blm for bis clients when emer
gencies arose. Needless to say. emer
gencies frequently arose to disturb
the peace of mind of the varieties of
people who sought the versatile aid
of Mr. Ed Dupuy. He turned to face
McUenry and said:
"Oh. the new owner! I'd like to
meet him. If you don't object I'll
wait." Dupuy seated himself nt the
extreme left hand corner of the office
close to the rack containing tiles of
tbe dally papers. He took down a file
and began to read. McHenry, laugh
ing at the patent anxtousness of tbe
lawyer to meet Nolan, put ou his coat.
A heavy step was heard, and the
bulky form of, the .new owner of the
Advance stood before tbe mnnaglng
editor.
"I am Mr. McHenry." explained the
latter.
"1 am Mike Nolan." tho newcomer
remarked bluntly.
At the sound of the. big man's big
voice Dupuy. whom Nolan had not
noticed In the corner, stirred" and turn
ed his head to gain a better view of
him. Tberv was something familiar
In the ring of that voice There was
something familiar In tbe features
and the poise of Mr. Mike Nolan. Sure
ly be had met him somewhere. He
pondered and pondered nnd finally j
gave up the problem In dlseust.
"This Is a nice looking" place you've
got here." be remarked to Mcnenry.
That you've got. sir."
A feminine voice from the outer
hallway was beard to exclaim breath
lessly. "1 refuse to climb another step."
McHenry turned Inquiringly, where'
upon Nolan explained: "My family'
Just outside. 1 wanted them to see
see how you ever get time to rend 'em
all," she addressed McHenry.
"Oh. 1 read fifty or sixty a day.
We've got to know what the other fel
lows tin' doing." r
"That's Just like me," she responded
smoothly. "I always like to know
what overylndy else Is doing, too," she
went on. "I think what Journalism
needs Is a soft feminine, refining Influ
ence. It seems ytu don't publish any
thing now but crlme.'dlvorves nnd peo
ple's trrubles." She laughed.
"Oh,'.ui wouldn't waut to read ev
ery day that Mr. and Mrs. James
Jones were living happily together.
You're only Interested when they'r
unhappy."
"Still I'd like to read once In awhile
that somebody else was happy, at least
for a little while."
It was McHenry'a turn to laugh.
"Would you like to look ovsr tbt
plant, Mrs. Nolan?" he asked.
"Oh. yes! What I want to im Is the
reporters reportlug."
When Mrs. Nolan, Phyllis and Syl
vester bud departed In the wake of
the boy who had answered McMeury's
ring, Dupuy rose and made a signal to
McUeury Uebltid Nolan's back that be
wanted to meet tbeuwuer. The manag
ing editor beck
oned ti ltii over.
"Mr Nolan." be
said. Inclining to
ward the propri
etor of the Ad
vance, "this Is
Mr. Dupuy."
Dupuy bowed,
again trying to
fix In bis mind
the occasion on
which, somehow,
somewhere In
his busy past he
had met Michael
Nolnn. He ex
tended bis htid,
saying. "1 am
glad to meet

"My Uod." he exclaimed, "It Is Ed

He continued to stare at the lawyer.
After u moment a faint smile appeared.
"Ed Dupuy. that's funny." be con
tinued "that's awful tunny. Well.
j don't It beat all? Don't you remember
me, t;a .'
Dupuy couldn't plnce htm ns yet.
"Why ab. Mr. Nolan! Yes. It must
