CHAPTER I Two or three policemen In uni'orm, lounging about the wide open Iron gates that led into the Niuht Court, straightened up ever go little ts young Thorpe, the bright, keeneged reporter from the press, accompanied by a cameraman, walked through the sate. They respected ttnd liked, and a little feared, this brilliant newspaper man. They returned his brief, cheery greeting with a nod or a word, and when he had passed within the portals, resumed their lounging attitude, idly watching the paasersby. Thorpe and Williams, the latter •nslinglng the camera from Ifis shoulder, made their wav into the courtroom, where there was already a sprinkling of spectators talking In low voices waiting for the judge to appear. The court clerks were Idly thumbing papers on their desks at either aide of the judge's t>( I or talking in low voices to some hungry-eyed young women with highly rouged faces and heavily painted lips, who cast sidelong glances nt the policeman standing slightly back of them. Williams gave the girls a quick "onco over” and winked knowingly at the re-
tort er.
Thorne did not respond to his eompanion'e look, but continued down the aisle toward the doors of Judge Moffett's private office, about which were grouped foul or flv< lawyers of the sort usually found in night courts — middle-aged, frowsy men. glad for anv ease that would bring in a few dollars: or young, keen-eyed, half-famished youngsters just getting a toehold on their profession Thorpe was a welldressed man of indeterminate age— perhaps twenty-five, perhaifs thirty •fair haired and w ith fair complexten and an engaging smile. He opened the gate of the railing which asperated the spectators from those having business with the court. nFd »> dded familiarly to the sergeant. “How are you. Mike’’ t want to ssj Judge Moffett." "You can't just now; lies busy,” said Sergeant Cassidy, straightening bis dhouM“Yeah'’ Since when is he too busy to see reporters'.’ Tell him I'm here Maybe I'll have Williams •shoot’ him. He likes to see his mug in the papers." Cassidy glanced uneasily towards 'he door of the Judge's office, shrugged. "I'll see '" He took hold "f 'he doorknob gingerly, turned it sod gaie a slight push. He coughed apologetically as he turned bock to Thorpe. “I can t call him He s taj.ing a siesta He doesn't like to "e disturbed until just time to come Into court.” It was a peculiar kind of siesta •hat Judge Moffett was Indulging in behind locked doors He stood in the center of his of-ft-e. his arms about a young woman wno stood on tip toe. raising her ftps for his kiss, and looking over bis shoulder at a handsome diamond bracelet sparkling on her arm. That's ice you don't get out of a *1 gidalie ' she said, a sniouldeilng tight of satisfaction !•* lie, . , ., •o't. purring quality in her voice. ' Oooh, Is lie mama's boy!" Ahe tightened her arms about his n-'k ami c *' a him an acaf ttl kisa •Ha was a vivacious young woman In her early twenties, with honey--doted bobbed hail, soft liaz -l eves, penciled eyebrows Judge Moffett was nearly a head taller, with Imde fold gray eves, clean-shaven, regular features. The coldness of his glance, now softened by an amorous Ight, together With the firm lines of hf» face, his tight well-moulded lips, gave nn impiestlon of strength »nj of strong will power He smiled tow n at the gii I ^ ^ I thought that would please you, Oh.

opened th. door into the courtroom “You can come In now, boys.” As Cassidy let Thorpe amt Williams in. * losing the door ns he weait out lodge Moffett walked to his desk behind which he stood, resting a h.md on it In a Judicial attitude. The man ha 1 disappeared and it vca lodge who faced the reporter .md the cameraman, an air of inii"H lance and inquiry on his face He nodded without speaking. and a- he did so the door of his private entrance was unlocked and a shin, wiry, hatchet-faced man entered, carrying a package amt brief case which he deposited on the ilesl "Thank' said the Judge, “Walt, Grogan, I hive something else for you to d" Then he turned to Thorpe and Williams. "Well, gentlemen, what can I do for you?" Thorpe grinned cheerfully at the complacence and self-importance expressed In Moffett's attitude. I Just wanted to ask you a question or tw Judge. What's all this
for a magistrate of the court to do And don't do anything like thii again—ever! Hiding In my ntflee!' "No, Your Honor, I won't! I'm sorry, hut 1 had to speak to you. Thank you. Judge I am so grateful—' She turned away to wipe crocodile tears of gratitude from her eyes. 'TTI tell my brother to tell everything to you, to trust y-y-you as I d-d-do!" She kept her face turned away from Thorpe and Williams and walked quickly to the private entrance. Thorpe, a sarcastic grin on his face as he stood beside the fudges chair, watching the little comedy, suddenly stooped and picked up 1 woman s large envelope purse from the chair, and held it out towards the young woman "Hey, Miss Baker, you forgot your it link," he called, the grin spreading wide over his face. Lil Baker turned Indignantly, her eyes flashing angrily, but caught the bag which Thorpe tossed to-

The girl, adjusting the small rakishly angled hat that set her featoies off charmingly, stalled toward* the private entrance and wua extending her hand towards it when there came a loud hammering on
the door.

talk about a committee of Judges being formed by Judge Osgood to Investigate crookedness and corruption in the courts'’' “Why ask me about It? Judge Osgood Is making the investigation." "Why, because everything you say is important. 1 thought maybe you'd like to say something about
this."
"Well, as a matter of fact 1 would.” replied Judge Moffett, and paused white he drew himself up a little more importantly. Serene in the consciousness of my own rectitude, I welcome any Investigation. At the same time I deplore the aspersions which are being cast at Hie judiciary. We magistrates me here to protect and to guard the common people. We must tight everything which tends to destroy the faith of these people In our probity and honesty and de*otion to them As far as this court Is concerned, every record, every paper is at the disposal of any In-
vestigating committee."
He suddenly left off hi* aloof, pompous manner and became his genial self, "Well, how's that. Jim'’'' Its swell," replied the reporter, with a short laugh "If this had been at Gettysburg. I d haie thought
you were Lincoln '
Thorpe turned as though to leave the mom. satisfied with his Interview. hut Instead of going to the dooi by which he had enteied, he quickly opened the closet door He stepped hark with a confused exclamation as Lil Baker stood dis-
closed.
Son y, Judge 1 opened the wrong do"|•. , ’ said Thorpe with a grave
face.
Moffett stepped quckly towards the closet, and spoke sternly "Young woman, what are you do-
ing there?"
The girl pauaed a moment as though confused, then. In hrtllnnt inspiration, came out of the closet and rushed before the Judge "Judge. Judge, save my brother! I had to speak to you, Judge, so 1 hid In that closet. Oh. please save
my brother!”
Her hands were stretched out pleadingly to him eyes raise.! imploringly She half-closed one eye solemnly in a wink. Moffett acted up to her hiatrioni's. He pent over

after her.
"Thorpe, you want some good sd lice?" asked Judge Moffett. Ms
eyes gleaming coldly. “No. Judge I get you."
"All right'" snapped the magistrate. as he sat down at his desk
and look up some papers
The Interview for the press on Judge Osgood s investigation of tne magistrates courts was over Thorpe, followed bv Williams who slung the camera over his shoulder, went out. as a well-built, welldressed man of about fifty, ce.'m and assured In his appeaiance and his manner of walking, entered.
