voice was heard In warning, and llrand
looked up.
"Oh, yes. I can," was the cool re-

claimed, nnd he peered closely ouco

he said as he left. "They'd give the
shirts off their backs to beat us on a
story like this or to keep us from
doing it to them."
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.

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,

tog the partition, which shut him off
from the composing room and on the

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?

Downs was dissatisfied. j

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

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

Into the hall to

Brand entered the
little room.
"There is a big

"Jump in a taxi and 0 roora, but I'vo

"That's it The good stuff always

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.

Lcarnlna the Value of Land.
R. A. Alford has recently returned
from Medford and the Rogue River
valley. He states that many of his
friends, who owned property In tho
valley, have sold out and havo so
much money they do not know bow
to, spend It They have become rich
so suddenly that they do not rcallzo
yet how It happened. After compar
ing that section with Klamath county
he has decided that there Is a good
thing in store for tho people here,
and in consequenco has raised the
price of his land hero. Ho didn't
realize bow much It was worth until
ho found out what land was selling
for elsewhere. Klamath Herald.

"Oct out or Til throw you oiitP
i
you print that picture of Judge Bar- i
telmy and your paper's as good as
dead," he threatened.
Brand smiled.
"Oh. we'll try to struggle on."
"The whole thing was a dirty piece i
of trickery, and we can prove It"
"Go ahead aud prove it"
"We'll prove It was a faked picture,"
snarled the lawyer.
"What are you going to do?"
"Never mind what we'll do."
