to Hie door at the left. "Here we're

tears. "Come on. Phyllis." he man
aged to say. and the heartbroken
toother and diiuuliltr went from the
room.
"Tom mustn't mind what mother
ays," Nolan wild to Brand. "She's
been kind o lonely since she came
back to New York."
The editor's lieun swelled with sym
pathy for the woman whose ambition
for herself and brr daughter bad
caused the bitterest palu that Injured f

be difficult for her to learn that social
position In a big city can be won only
by skillful maneuvering, the ability to
do which Mrs. Nolan apparently did
sot possess.
"Oh. 1 understand." he answered
feelingly.
Brand and Nolan went into the 11
brary to smoke. Hardly had they dis

drawing room us au escort for Judge
fiartelmy and bis daughter Judith.
Braud had not erred a tew minutes
previous when in the same room he
bad pronounced the Judge to be the
best "handler of people" In the city,
The conversation which ensued be

they awaited their hostess well Illus

bis daughter. Mrs. Nolan's lurltatlon.

Judith became enthusiastic.
"Father. 1 believe you would buvo

The Judge straightened up. smiling
plcascdly at his daughter s complltueu

"Yes. my dear; 1 appreciate It, but

The. girl laughed shortly.
"Now, this doesn't come under the
bead of social duties."
"Oh, yes," the Judge answered
quickly. "If you view society lu Its
broader sense. Beyond your littlo
world Is a larger one where canto la of
small consequence and where all men
should be of service to each other."
"But the Nolans they certainly
haven't been of service to you?" ques

Fie glanced sharply a Judith.
"But 1 wish iiiein to be, and we'ru

"Their paper keeps gomg for you

asked.
"Wheeler: Oh. Wheeler: He's an

"I don't think you quite understand

He took hold of the girl's bands.
"Oh. yes. I do: Just now be has lost

have caused me. and I hope you will
forgive Aim too. 1 want you and
Wheeler to be friends again and. like
the princess In the fairy stories, live
happily ever after." He patted her
fondly on the shoulder.
Mrs. Nolan eutered the room and.
aglow with excitement, greeted her
guests.
"Judge Itnrtelmy, I hope you haven't
been wulilug long?" she Inquired aux
lously.
".Not at all."
"it U s good of you to come."
"Uti. I woii.dn't permit anything to

had the pleasure of adjourning a rath
er Important conference to be here."
This confession tilled the fluttering
heart of Mrs. Nolan with pure ecstasy
She could barely contain herself as she
In turn greeted Judith Bartelmy.
Pitcher announced another name

"Mr. Dupuy." be announced. He bad
come to keep his appointment with
Nolan.
"How do you do. Mr. Dupuy?" greet
ed the hostess, shaking bauds warmly
with him. "Here's Judge Bartelmy.
He's Just adjourned a most important
conference to come to our tea. Pitch
er, tell Mr. Nolan the Judge and Mr
Dupuy are waltlug. Say the Judge has
iust adiourned his court to come. Miss
Bartelmy. Phyllis will be so delighted
to see you." She grasped Judith's
arm and led her to a door, speaklug
rapidly as she did so. "Phyllis wauts
to show you her new gown Quintan
brought over from Paris. Very smart
effect, but S450. and you could bold It
in the palm of your two bauds a
rag!"
"An amusing character, our hostess."
commented Bartelmy dryly to Dupuy
"Yes; she seems very appreciative ot
your daughter's visit."
"Well." decisively, "she certainly
ought to be."
"I supose we shall see It In the Ad
vance tomorrow." suggested Dupuy.
"Ob. of coursel" Bartelmy luughed
amusedly.
"By the way," remarked Dupuy
"did you see the evening pajM-rsV
A serious look came Into Biirtelmy's
face as be said;
"1 glanced over them on my way up
town, and their accounts ot my deci
slou this morning are not at all objec
tionable." "No blood drawn," said Dupuy reas
suringly. "A little surprising, too. for
the Lansing lrou people have been li
pretty bad odor with the public ever
since the receivership matter last
year."
"That was the beginning of all these
attacks upon me. I hope the morning
papers will treat me fairly."
"Ob, there will be no trouble about
them. They have not Investigated the
matter thoroughly enough yet, ot
course, excepting the Advance, uut
you did Just the tight thing today to
bring Miss Judith."
Bartelmy was showing not the
slightest hesitancy at using his beauti
ful and accomplished daughter as a
decoy In his plottlugs. In the first
place, he desired that she should mar
ry Wheeler Brand, hoping that the
young reformers zeal agalust hlin
would dl ppear; secondly, by prevail
ing on her to pay attention socially
to the Nolan family be was confident
that the owner of the Advance wouid
capitulate and become his friend. As
for Judith, she little comprehended the
entire slgulhcaiiee ot her lathers alti
tude, and It she nad. hei frank, genu
ine nature, whieti levoited at trickery
and deceit, would not have permitted
