He la 1 killed by an agent of a secret society, the . committee of fifteen. Ills son. Bruce L^rnigan, is elected district attorney and takes dp the fight. Bruce Is In love with | Dorothy Maxwell, whose Father Is head of the Insurance trust. Bruce Garnlgan Is decoyed to an evil resort In an effort to frame him up. He has the police commissioner present. A fire starts In a tenement. Larnlgan saves the children of Dow. one of the conspirators. This man agrees- to.e\pose the trust. He Is murdered by the gang. Stanford Stone, head of the graft syndi- < cate. Insists Larnigan must be killed. Gunmen are posted In the park to kill Larnigan In his automobile. Dorothy Maxwell I over the dictaphone, bears the plot Two ] more conspirators are killed and Larnigan again escapee ^ Bruce larnigan, desi *u Ws j successes over the graft «yn- , 1 dlcate since his election as , district attorney, began to feel, | after his miraculous escape from the j plot to kill him In an explosion In the , new subway, that his chances of sue- : cess along the lines he had so far followed were almost hopeless, j Gradually, it seemed to him, . tie; aaendovs forces were being arrayed ; | against him. The whole power of the , city administration was on the side of ; the enemy. The mayor. With all the I departments be employed, showed I open antagonism. The newspapers. I with the single exception of the Inde- | pendfet. were either openly hostile or | Biwr+ngly Indifferent A great many j people who. it seemed to him, should I jive him enthusiastic support were I decidedly lukewarm in their attitude, i TO Dorothy Maxwell, his fiancee and | practically the only person In whom ! be was now able to confide, since he ! did not want to worry his mother , | with the details of his troubles, he told , of his growing feeling that be was on , the wrong road, j "We thought It was a wonderful , , thing when 1 was elected district atj torney. dear." he said to her. "Bat ; the office has tied my hands again and , again Things that I could do if I were a private citiaen I am barred from even attempting. Jpst for one thing— this graft conspiracy, I am convinced, Is country wide. "It Isn't confined to New York alone. But as district attorney I can't go outside the city. My jurisdiction stops there." "But you can go outside to get evidence," she suggested. "The minute I do that they'll accuse me of neglecting my duty to pursue a fantastic conspiracy that, they say, has no existence at all except in my own brain. The best thing they say about me is that I'm visionary— a lunatic! Most of them say, whether they actnally believe it or not, that I'm a crook." "It's an outrage T' said Dorothy, with Bashing eyes. "Well, what do you think? It seems to me that 1 ought to resign as district attorney at once. I've been talking to Bart Nash. lie's the editor of ; the Independent, you know— the man I who gave Jim Stevens a Job when ! Jim was fired for helping me to get the 1 goods on the traction grafters." "What does he say?" "He agrees with me— that I ought to j resign. He has promised me the snp- j port of his paper if I undertake to carry on the flgbt by a direct appeal to I the people That's my chance as I see | It— to get the people stirred up. so thai , they trill really demand action. So far they don't believe in me. But I can make them do it. I'm sure," "Then If be thinks that and yon feel , as you do. I think you ought to re 1 sign." said Dorothy. "It's you that have got to make the decision. Bruce. I'm with you whatever you doT' , "That settles it." said Bruce. "I ] thought you'd agree with me. I shall resign at once. And the first move In my new fight yrtll be against the grain "I didn't know there was one." . _ "There is. and a particularly mean i one! It's responsible for the rise in I the price of bread. There's plenty of grain, but they're creating an artificial . shortage to send np prices. There's no j ' reason at all for the rise. It's the 1 I worst sort of crookedness. I shall go ' ; to Chicago at once. That's the place j 1 where I can get the evidence, though < j It's St John Dodsoi^ Tight here In New j i i York, who la my final quarry."

! -"Mr. DodsouT said Dorothy, deeply , i ahocked.' ' '"Why. he's one of papa's | best friends!" "That's just the trouble." said Bruce ( j grittiugly. "It's because men who are , | universally supposed to be honorable J and decent, and who occupy fine and 1 high positions, are at the bottom of all 1 the 'crookedness that it's so hard tor to reach them." j Stanford Stone, the secret head of ; the graft syndicate and Bruce' 6 great enemy, was opt deceived by Brace's resignation of his office, which filled some Of 8 tone's associates with delight "He hasn't given up," he said. "Don't be fooled for a minute by his resignation. That's Just a blind. He's going to keep on fighting, and It's more important than ever to put him out of the way. I know, for Instance, that he's going to Chicago tomorrow to try to get evidence against Dodson and his grain shortage. Black's gone, but I've got another man to follow him.". So it came about that there traveled with Bruce, following him as closely as his own shadow, a desperado known to the police or a score of cities as Red Mike meant to earn his money With Brace gone, Stanford Stone left p move unmade in New York that might help to achieve Ids object His Bret blow was struck at the independent A hint was enough. With one accord advertisers withdrew their support until the paper faced a staggering And Stone went further.' His agents approached stockholder*, who, frightened by the loes of earnings, were glad to sell their holding*. So Stone came Into control of a great block of Independent stock and was able to apply for a receivership and so force the suspension, for a time at least of the paper's publication. At his Instance, too, Bulls were brought against Brace for criminal libel and for heavy damages by the men he had accused In connection with the traction trust exposure. These were : strike suits, which could not succeed I wben tbey were brought to trial, but i it was not Stone's purpose to let them • come to trial. They served as au ex- i cuse for attaching Bruee's bank ac- ' count and ills home, nud this was done. Brace's mother was terrified by threats , of ejectineut from her home, and Stone relied upon her pleadings to Induce Bruce to a tin in! hi UN fight, even If his well l-tl-l plan- p. put Bruce » ;t of the way sho tl ! -cei-il. Even so, however. Stone was not

sessed one thing that he coveted— the j love of Dorothy Maxwell. The euj gagement of the two had not been announeed, but it was a more or less ( ! open secret And now Stone, relying ! ! upon his hold over Roger Maxwell, her | father, ventured openly to go to Dor o- j thy and nsl; her to marry him. ITo was promptly refused, but would not take his answer. He wanted reasons, and Dorothy reluctantly told him of the plot to kill Bruce that she h'd ' overheard by means of the dictaphone in his office. To h<-r amazement Stone made no denial, i "I am Ills enemy." he said coolly. "I ( admit It What of It? Your own fa- i i ther is associated with me. Ijiniigan's ! . success would mean even more to biui . f than to me." "I don't Ix-Heee yoo!"'«vrled Dorothy desperately. But she did. It explained so much j , that had troubled end mystified her. ! i And Roger Maxwell, whan she begged j . him to' deny what Stone had shid. couldn't do It. Indeed, he let her see , I that be was. to some extent at least, in , Stone's power. It was a dreadfnl dllemma that Dorothy faced, with Brace ! a thousand miles away, engaged, as | •h* knew. In a bitter and perilous : | Htgpggle-

thct came to him from Bart Nash and better for him to stick to bis own port of the work instead of going' back' to . belp them. He frit that he was on tho ! trail of real tacts, which would prove ! terribly damsging to the enemy. At last there came the chance he had i waited. A muH he had Mlbed told | him of a plan to send a schooner out on Lake Michigan from Chicago hear ! lly laden with grain. * "Go along," he told Brat*. . "You'll see something worth whiley And Brace did. Concealed in a boat, he uw the crew, under orders from the captain, dumping the perfectly good grain into the lake.- I| was ao that Dodeon's men were creating the shortage he waa using ae Ufa excuse for raising the price of bread to the poor! This Bruce knew would servo

his cause; the facts would apeak for themselves. And he had a small camera with him, with which be took photographs' of the dumping. It was that, however, which waa his undoing. He bad to expKMie himself as he took the pictures, and' eeme keen eye among the men saw htm. br a moment be was dragged from the beak 't-s.-. • •! i- - * i "It's s spy.1" cried some burly rufi ."if* Vv* And a moment later Brace waa fighting for his life. He fought well, but the odds were too greet He was overpowered In no time and savagely beaten. Bjjt then the plotters made a fatal mistake. Left alone Brace might soon have died. But tbey tSrew him overboard. NThe cold water revived him to some extent and be was able to cling to a floating spar that came providentially within his reach. And an hour later be was spied from the deck of a yacht and picked up. .He was un conscious when he was dragged on board. When be came to an hour later a strange man bent over his cbt "Are you Bruce Larnigan," he said hoarsely, "like the papers In your pocket say?" "I am," said Brace, astonished at the other's emotion. "Bruce— I'm Tom — you're my brother!" said the stranger. It was a wonderful tale they made of It between tbem. Tom left borne In a fit of boyish passion years before. He had disappeared, and the family had long since believed him dead. "I didn't have the heart to go home a failure. Bruce." he confessed after he had heard Brace's story. "But by the Lord, I'll go home now and do the work you set out to do! You'll be In a hospital for a spell. Old chap, ana you're lucky at that. But leave things to me. I'U get through somehow." So Tom went east in Brace's place. He carried a letter to Dorothy MaxwelL and he carried also an absolute determination to defeat the graft syndicate and do Brace's work until Brace recovered. But his arrival at home dismayed him. He learned of his mother's sufferings. and he learned, too. that Dorothy Maxwell, the girl I'.ritce loved and trusted, was engag-d to Stanford Stone. "Ill play a lone hand, theu." lie said I defiantly to himself. "I'll hot deliver j Brace's letter. But I'll get this man I Dodson by myself." I Chance guided him to a meeting of the poor held In protest ngaiust the rise In the ] 're "f l«rend fihy Lntilgan seized his chance. In a moment he displaced the speaker. ' "This is a time to get— not to talk!" ' be cried. "Follow me! I'll lead you to the man who raised the price of bread V With a roar like that of a pack of wolves the crowd followed 1dm. growing greater at every block, until at last it stormed the doors of the great office building In which St. John Dodson had his office, surged op to bis office, and l>cnt down all guards and harriers until It was at his very door. Then Tom went in alone to find the great/man cowering at his desk. "Shall I let i hem In." be asked, "or will you yield, you cur?' "I'v^ ordered tho price back to the | old figures!" cried the frightened Dod- ] son. "For God's sake take them away!" Tom believed him. Hey told the crowd they had won their fight. And, even as be Bpoke, a shot laaag out. Dodson had killed himself. At once Tom and his mother went ft) Chicago, to find Brace somewhat improved. He smiled as he hoard of fom'a first blow at tho force* of craft.

"Loavo things to ms. I'll got through | somehow," said Tom.

"I'vo ordered the prioe back. For God'a take take them away," aaid Dodson.
