Kendall looked closely at tjhe young
Vian whom he had already set down
as an opponent. Physically Wright
seemed no shirker of a combat. His
shoulders were broad and his body
well developed. Led to believe from
his knowledge of ihe reformer type
that he would find Joe Wright a long-
haired theorist and Utopian dreamer, ■
the lawyer found instead a self-pos-
sessed, well-balanced young man. The
newspaper owner's manner, even in
repos*, was judicial. To Kendall s
thinking be had the air of a man w ho
would not be swayed by prejudice or
liking. It was his part, however, as
a special pleader, to make Wright
think himself too much an idealist—
if he could—in opposing the just
claims of the stock-yard company.
“I suppose you found the News
somewhat run down when you took
hold of it," Kendall remarked casually.
j “Yes the name was about all 1
jk bought."
“I thought the paper bad a pretty
good mechanical plant,” interjected
Gilbert.
Instinctively Wright felt the con-
certed action masked under the inno

the boss found bis unaccustomed rai-
ment.
As Kerr walked through the ball
and into the library, his own thoughts
did not w'eigh so heavily upon him as
to prevent him from satisfying bis
curiosity by gazing about him. it
was the first time in his life that he
had ever set foot in Gilbert's house.
The invitation had been extended
many times, but Kerr knew bis social
limitations and had always refused.
The judge pushed forward a big
leather chair and into it Kerr dropped
without a word. His hands rested
listlessly on the arms of his chair, the
bosom of bis shirt was rumpled and
bulged out oE his waistcoat, bis
breath came heavy and fast, and he
gazed dully at the fire in the grate.
Gilbert had never seen him in such
a condition before. Until now he bad
always been the man of iron, accept-
ing his many triumphs and his few
minor defeats in the same impertui b-
able manner.
“I tried to get you by telephone
several times today,” Gilbert began.
“I know it, but I wasn’t in the mood
for nothin’.” The very tone in which
lie spoke betrayed that fact.
“I promised Kendall I’d call you up

“I told him that personally I could

This drew no answer from the boss.

mentioned.
“I thought you was lawyer for one
of them crowds that was ligb*iu’ for

“Well, we got the franchise.”
That was what Kerr wanted to
bring out.

“What do you think the ideal news-
paper is like?” asked Judge Gilbert.
He wanted to know to what kind of
star this young man had hitched his
wagon.
“The ideal newspaper is one which
has no ax to grind, aud no personal
animus in the discussion of private af-
fairs or public questions, but only a
constant regard for the truth aud the
lasting welfare of the state.”
Kendall went to what he considered
the heart of the matter.
“Aren't you leaving out of consid-
eration, Mr. Wright, that everything—
this government, even—is but a com-
promise?"
“No, I recognize that, and I believe
in compromise. Without it we would
still be cave dwellers. It is exactly
because of this everpresent compro-
mise that an honest newspaper is so j
valuable. It must see to it that this
compromise is open and above board. |
It mustn’t be the give-and-take trade
of low politicians in the back room of
a saloon or tbe far more dangerous
trades of men higher up and powerful
interests: not that kind of compro-
mise, which after all is a sale of some-
thing one does not legally own to one
who cannot or will not secure it hon-
estly. I tell you that the majority
must rule fairly and with a proper
deference for the rights of the minor-
ity. that’s where a newspaper can be
of service."

“Why,

Kerr continued to gazte into the fire,
seemingly oblivious to his surround-
ings. Gilbert could not have sworn
that the boss had heard him reply.
Then came another question, still
seemingly apropos of nothing.
“Remember your first office—after
you quit keeping it in the top of your
hat?”
“Yes, very well. I paid you two
dollars a week for desk room in a
corner of your real estate office—in
that same old office you still have on

“That’s what I charged you—but 1
don't guess you’ve got a receipt for

in them days used to use my big atlas
for a ironin’ board?”
“Both of us, I believe.”
Kerr moved restlessly in his chair,
j then went on.

surged through him as he added with
spirit. “If it had been a boy!”

minute, and when he took up the
thread of his story again it was the
old weary tone.
