FEBRUARY 4th. REPUBLICAN-REGISTER. PAGE 7. 11 "Oh. yes! What I want to see is the Importers reporting." When Mrs.

Nolan. Phyllis and Sylvester had departed In the wake of the boy who had answered MeHenry's ring. Dupuy rose and made a signal to McHenry behind Nolan's back that he wanted to meet the owner. The managing editor beck THE FOURTH ESTATE. "This growingtundency lo bring our Judiciary into disnspect is a dangerous syiupium of the unrest beueatb tbe surface." spoke Dupuy pompously.

"The federal bench is the ultimate bulwark." Mellenry laughed. 4Ob. capital in distress! Yes, I know all about that." Dupuy stirred indignantly. "There was no occasion for that remark," he shot forth tartly. Me Henry saw that Dupuy was very much in earnest, and the management of the Advance, as he had previously known it representatives of an insurance company would have desirec to gratify the wishes of.

Kelley, Belvidere, I1U Dupuy put his overcoat back on the chair. His luck was still holding good, he congratulated himself. Here was a chance to make the acquaintance of the new owner of the 'influential Advance, an opportunity to pave the way possibly to secure future favors from him for his clients when emergencies arose. Needless to say, emergencies 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 McHenry and said: "Oh, the new owner! I'd like to meet him. If you don't object I'll wait." Dupuy seated himself at the extreme left hand corner the office close to the rack containing files of the daily papers. He took down a file and begarr; to1 read. laughing at the 'patenf Ch' lawyer to -meet -XofatiV put bnfeis't'oat A heavy step was heard; and tin-bulky form of the 'new owpef of th; Advance before "X-- "I am Mr. latter.

"I am Mike Nolan," the newcomer remarked bluntly. At the sound of the big bi voice Dupuy. whom Nolan- had not noticed in the corner, stirred and turned his head to gain a better view of him. There was something familiat in the ring of that voice. There was something familiar in the features and the poise of Mr.

Mike Nolan. Surely he had met him somewhere. He pondered and pondered and finally gave up the problem in disgust. "This is a nice looking place you've got here," he remarked to McHenry. "That you've got, sir." A feminine voice from the outer hallway was heard to exclaim breathlessly.

"I refuse to climb another step." McHenry turned inquiringly, where upon Nolan explained: "My family's just outside. 1 wanted, them to see Dupuy returned MeHenry's stare, and his discerning eye and brain enabled him to read the workings of MeHenry's mind. He felt instinctively as he glared at McHenry that be had the managiug editor "on the run." During the period of the insurance company's ownership there had been no doubt that tbe decision of the managing editor of tbe Advance would have been iu favor of Dupay and his demand for the discharge of Wheeler Brand. And the lawyer, like McHenry. knew nothing of the new owner that would change the attitude of the paper.

Dupuy was right in his estimate of MeHenry's weakness. The lawyer lobbyist was playing in rare fortune, indeed, to discover in his opponent a man who dared not stand fori the right. He well knew that he vVould not tind the same sort of. man un a position of importance' in many other newspapers of the' land. Well.

did he know "the power," of throughout all America, for-! he had learned at bitter cost IV was the foe of all the.Ed Dupuys and all those employed them to serve their ends. Finally McHenry spoke in answer to Dupuy's demand. "Let us give Brand one more chance!" protested McHenry. "I'll put him on baseball or water front. Come, now." "I will be candid with you.

I was instructed to make an example of somebody for this morning's story. Perhaps, though, a good hauling over might do -for this time. Call him in now. It's his last chance." A boy entered. "Ask Mr.

Brand to step in." "I'd rather take a licking than dc this." protested McHenry. Dupuy was unsympathetic. "Well, "he's only got himself tc thank!" he snorted. Wheeler Brand came in. "Mr.

Brand." began the managing editor, "there is a kick being made on the Bartelmy story of this morning." -xwvuvij hi jmmwmi oned him over. "Mr. Nolan." he said, inclining toward the propri etor of the Advance, "this is Mr. Dupuy." Dupuy bowed. -agaiu trying to in, his mind the occasion which, somehow, somewhere in.

He had half extended his own baud to grasp Dupuy's. Suddenly, a half smothered oath, he drew it violently back. "My God." he exclaimed, "it is Ed Dupuy!" He continued to stare at the lawyer. After a moment a faint smile appeared. "Ed Dupuy.

that's funny," he continued "that's awful funny. Well, don't it beat all? Don't you remember me, Ed?" Dupuy couldn't place him as yet. "Why ah. Mr. Nolan! Yes, it must have been.

Let's see. Wasn't it Monte Carlo two winters ago?" he ventured. "No, no; it wasn't Monte Carlo two winters ago. It was here in this town twelve summers ago. Remember now?" "Twelve summers ag( twelve summers ago?" Dupuy reflected.

"The street car strike," reminded Nolan. "Oh, yes, the street car strike!" added Dupuy. Now he began to remember. He began to remember the part he, as the Consolidated Traction company's counsel, played in that war between capital and labor, and somewhere in it all he realized that a face something like the one before him had come to his knowledge; also the name "Nolan" had a familiar ring. "Nolan, Nola.n!" he repeated to himself.

No. It was "Dolan," he reassured himself; that had been the name of the man he had crushed and driven from the kin of men. Yes, that was "Dolan." and that man was a broken down v-r, and- outer when Dupuy last heard of him. Nolan saw that Dupuy was nonplused, and he laughed as lie said "Yes. it was the street car strike, and you and Jud.se Bar telmy between you sent Jerry Dolan to jail for contempt, and that broke the strike after it'd been won."

So far as the new owner was concerned, the managing editor could not tell what his attitude would be in the matter, but he had recei ed uo instructions as yet to change the policy of the paper. Plainly the course of wisdom, he reasoned, would be to act toward Dupuy as he had acted in lie wIkmi the insurance company had insisted that the paper be operated on a purely commercial basis. he would deal carefully with Dupuy that is. with Dupuy 's clients.

"Oh. I can't say as to that." "About worth! wasn't it?" "Yes. 1' should think so." admitted Mellenry. "Well, there's the answer," exclaimed Dupuy triumphantly. "As a matter of business.

Mellenry, if you are not friendly to my clients, why. you can hardly expect them to be friendly to you, and I shall explain to the new proprietor of the Advance. Mr. Nolan, the reasons for the sudden drop in hia advertising. He is a rich man, and he probably will not like to know that he is in the way of losing a good deal of money to further a radical propaganda which be probably abhors.

Come, Mellenry. for your own sake be reasonable. Who wrote the story? Surely you are not going to consider a mere reporter in a matter so vital to our interests. Who was it?" Mc Henry surrendered. young fellow named Wheeler Brand." Dupuy rose and towered above Mc-Henry as he sat at his desk.

"I thought so. I only wanted to make sure," be said. "He's a dangerous type. Comes from good enough people, but ambitious to get into the limelight by stirring up the mob. Thought he might have learned sense by now, but it seems be hasn't.

Guess he never will; these fanatics never do." "We consider him the best investigator in town." warmly, in praise of Brand. "He's entirely too zealous. Do you atch me?" asked Dupuy, leaning over Mellenry and gazing significantly into bis eyes. The managing editor caught Dupuy's meaning and stared at him blankly in his surprise. "You don't mean" Dupuy smiled coldly.

"Yes I mean get rid of him!" CHAPTER III. HE managing editor again began to weigh just what siguif- icance the. demand of Dupuy V.j had. He directed, his glance at him fixedly, and a long pause ensued after the lawyer lobbyist's abrupt demand that- Wheeler Brand be dis charged -from the Advance- writes us: "I am an ex-engineer with 22 years active service to my credit, About three years ago my kidneys were affected so that I had to give up my engine.

Brand grew bitter, for well he knew the practices of Dupuy. "Oh. yes; I know the patter a world of live and let live.1 We must be vcy---careful before imputing motives, eh.

"we only, ask you in to talk it over. "That, man has hit me In the dark Brand. "This is the first time that he has come into the light." "I desire to say that my clients," put in Dupuy, "like a great many other of the ah subscribers to this paper, were disappointed at what they conceived to be an unwarrantable attack full of insinuations about one of the; most distinguished members of the United States bench, and they wish merely as readers of the paper to express the hope that nothing of the sort will occur Qigainu -in Which case they are willing-to' overlook this morning's article entirely todn fact, it merely "as' if" mistake, a mistake pde without malice." "You mean I am to have another chance to hold my job If I'll be good from now on?" asked Brand. Dupuy once more becamecdmplacent. "Such, I he annoy e.al miy.

i "You certainly have' your' gall. Dupuy," cried Brand in menacing tones, "to think you can muzzle me for $40 a week. I've paid more than that for the privilege of fighting you." The lawyer turned quickly to the managing editor. "You better let him go, McHenry," he suggested. "He's a crank." Wheeler Brand was amazed at the way in which McHenry allowed Dupuy to influence him.

"Does he give you orders?" he asked meaningly of the managing editor. "Yes, my boy; he does, and 1 accept your resignation." The reporter was by no means daunted by his discharge. "I'm sorry for you," he cried, inclining toward McHenry. Dupuy laughed significantly. "Reserve your sympathy for yourself, young man." he advised the young newspaper writer.

"Reserve your sympathy for Bartelmy; he'll need it before long," was his cutting retort. "Oh Is that so?" sneered Dupuy. "Go west and grow np with the country, for if you hang around here to hurt Bartelmy don't forget that criminal libel is punishable with arrest." "Sorry, old man," spoke M.cHenry kindly. "If I didn't have a family I'd go west with you." "If it wasn't for men- having families." put in Dupuy philosophically, "there'd be a revolution." Brand straightened up and, with a contemptuous expression on his face, started toward the door. "You've got more heart than sense, McHenry." was the parting shot which he hurled at the managing editor.

"Pretty tough on a reporter to fire him for 'scooping' the town on a big story." said the managing editor. "Oh, pshaw!" grunted Dupuy. A boy entered with a card. Dupuy crossed to a chair and picked up his overcoat. "Mr.

Nolan, sir." the lad announced, with an amusing grimace. "He's the new boss, and he's got a couple mitts on 'im like Jim Jeffries. Gee, but I'll bet Nolan is there with th wallop, all right i me take possession." His voice was tinged with pride. He stepped to the door. "Come in.

mother." he called gayly. Mrs. Nolan; a tall; well proportioned brunette, attired in the costliest of imported garments entered the managing editor's office with a pronounced flourish, followed, by the two Nolan children. Sylvester and Phyllis the son about twenty-two years old and the daughter probably a year or two younger. "Oh.

mercy, them stairs!" exclaimed the mother, endeavoring to catch her breath. Nolan presented his wife and son to McHenry. Mrs. Nolan called to Phyllis to draw near. "This is my daughter.

Phyllis." she said. "She went to Bryn Mawr." Phyllis and the managing editor exchanged greetings. "My son. Sylvester." went on the. mother proudly, "went to Harvard." "Oh.

you're a Harvard McHenry to Sylvester. "What class?" The son, togged in the' latest freshman effects in the line of sporty clothes and drawing on 'an unlighted cigarette, replied, "1009, 1910, 1911." Mrs. Nolan pointed at a pile of papers lying on. a small desk, "I don't see how you ever get time to read 'em all," she addressed McHenry. "Oh, I read fifty or sixty a day.

Nolan drew a deep breath and, clinching his fists at his sides, replied to his arch foe of twelve years before: "He'll be a more dangerous agitator from now on. I'm Jerry Dolan (Td be continued next week) Fever, any Threat or Lung TrouDie. 50c. $1.00. Trial bottle free.
