Powell literally writhed in agony m
ha listened to tbe doggerel.
"It's great!" cried Sylvester ecstatic
ally. "And now come get your tea
Gee, I'd like to take a crack at being
a poet!"
The two conspirators hurried Into
the dining room as Wheeler Brand
and the owner of tbe Advance came
into tbe drawing room.
"You're right. Wheeler; you're right,"
Nolan was saying. "This Is a better
showing than 1 hoped for. Look in
your stocking next Christmas. There'll
be something for you. When 1 got into
the newspaper business, Brand, they
told me it was the beginning of my
finish, that it sucked ten fortunes
down for every one it aullt and no
middle ageil man ever went into It and
came out again without teeth markj
all over him. But look at that" He
held up a typewritten statement. "I'm
richer for going In—twice as much ad-
vertising as last year at this time."
Nolan seated himself on a settee.
"The big advertisers never pull their
ads. so long as they are getting re-
turns from them," put in Brand.
"Look at Dupuy. Remember how lie
threatened us and bow bis clients t<><>:
their ads. out for two months';"
"Yes, but they put them back again."
"Why? Because they need us more
than we need them," Brand laughed.
"Well, he's got something else up bis
Sleeve now," remarked Nolau. "He
telephoned that he woald come to see
me this afternoon."
"Are you going to see himV" Brand
asked curiously.
"I thought 1 might as well. He'll be
here. Maybe he wants to fire yon
again." The newspaper owner looked
up at Brand and laughed heartily.
Mrs. Nolan and Phyllis re-entered
the drawing room, and Braud became
the especial object of their attentions.
The mother desired to have bim
print the list of her invited guests
who had never attended the recep-
tion. Phyllis requested bim to print a
story about tbe violinist and was vast-
ly annoyed wben Braud informed ber
that tbe subject was a matter for tbe
musical editor to attend to.
"And there's something else, Mr.
Brand. A look of despair came into
Brand's face. "Phyllis went to Miss
Barteliny's musicale the other day,
and you didn't even include her name
among those present," the mother suid.
"Why, I'm sorry. That was an over-
sight. I assure you. 1 suppose tbey
made up tbe usual list in tbe office."
"I hope it won't happen again," re-
marked Phyllis Indignantly.
"Yes, and the way It's handling this
Loris divorce case Is all wrong," snap-
ped Mrs. Nolan. "I know Mrs. Loris.
She is no better than she should be,
and people who live in Icehouses
shouldn't throw hot water."
"We have no policy in tbe Loris
daughter's one of tbe most exclusive
and sought after girls In New York.
She's the only one of her set who has
been at all nice to me. Isn't that so^
mamma?"
"Yes, and why tbe paper should go
for her father just as It does for ev-
ery other prominent man in town I
can't see. She must think It's very
funny that such things should appear
In tbe Advance after what she's done
for us."
"Ob," suggested Brand, thinking to
soothe his employer's wife, "she prob-
ably knows that you have absolutely
nothing to do with the policy of tbe
Advance!"
"Is that so?" ejaculated Mrs. Nolan
indignantly. "They certainly are very
kind hearted people to act the way
they do In the face of that paper."
"Judge Bartelmy is first and last a
politician," explained Brand.
Michael Nolan bent forward intently.
The conversation bad now reached a
point where he realized an Issue of v|>
tal Importance to himself and to the
Advance had been touched on.
"Well, I suppose he has been codi
tiling up to us a little," he began, tbea
paused.
Brand drew a deep breath, stoat op
erect in the middle of the drawing
room aud daringly explained tbe ettoa-
tion to the owner of the paper.
"Bartelmy handles people better than
any man in town." he declared. "He
has studied the Advance, dlawcted Its
position and—1 will be frank With
you—discovered its weaknesses. He
knows be can't reach you through your
cupidity or political ambition because
you lack those qualities. He now real-
izes that bis only hope of Influencing
ns lies in an appeal to"— He hesitated.
"Well?" asked Mrs. Nolan ominously.
Braud found the course* to complete
the sentence.
"His only hope lies in an appeal—to
your family's social desires"—Phyllis
rose from her seat ber cheeks rsd
with anger—"and that's tbe only rea-
son be has for taking you up."
Mrs. Nolan gave a scream of wrath.
Nolan himself, regretting that the on-
pleasant scene had occurred, rose from
tbe settee and advanced to calm tbe
ruffled waters, but his face was cloud-
ed. Its serious expression Indicated
that he wns deeply concerned over the
frank statements of hie managing edi-
tor. ami one could instinctively feel
that be was convinced that Brand had
spoken tbe truth.

"We merely print tbe facts."
"Facts!" Mrs. Nolan cried. "That
paper upsets me for tbe whole day

ingly.

said. "Let's drop the sub-

"Mr. Brand, you are forgetting yoar
place," contributed Phyllis.
"Michael." insisted Mrs. Nolan, "are
you going to let this young msn rain

Judge Bartelmy has taken us up, and
If It wasn't for the way Mr Brand
runs wild with that paper"-her voice
broke—"others might." She crossed
to the door at the left. "Here we've
squandered money right and left and
nobody would have anything to do
with us. 1 declare I was happier
poor. At least wben I asked anybody
to eat then they came. Look at that
table hi there"—she pointed—"groan-
ing witb good things to eat, and
there's $100 for hothouse grapes, and
nobody's touched 'em!" She picked
up a hunch of grapes from a stand
and began to eat them.
"Mother." laughed the husband good
naturedly. "I've seen you get away
witb three bunches all by yourself."
"Well. 1 felt it was my duty not to
let them go to waste." She burst into
tears. "Come on. Phyllis." she man-
aged to say. and tbe heartbroken
mother and daughter went from the
room.
"You mustn't tnind what mother
says." Nolan said to Brand "She's
been kind o' lonely since she came
back to New York."
The editor's heart swelled with sym-
pathy for the woman whose ambitions
for herself and her daughter had
caused tbe bitterest paiu that injured
pride can give. He saw that it would
be difficult for her to learn that social
position in a big city can be wou only
by skillful maneuvering, the ability to
do which .Mrs. Nolan apparently did
not possess.
"Oh, I understand!" he answered
feelingly.
Brand and Nolan went into the tt>
brary to smoke. Hardly had tbey dla-
a p[tea red wheu I'itcber entered the
drawing room as au escort for Judge
Bartelmy aud his daughter Judith.
Brand had not erred a few niiuutea
previous when In the same room be
had pronounced the Judge to be tttW
best "handler of people" In tbe city.
The conversation which ensued be-
tween tbe Jurist and his daughter as
tbey awaited their hostess well Illus-
trated his reasons for accepting, witb
bis daughter, Mrs. Nolau's Invitation.

Tbe girl laughed shortly.
