Back Of this iay her bitter sentiment
toward the man who had been the di-
rect cause Of her imprisonment. Ed
ward Glider.
The factor that was the immediate
cause Of her decision on an irregular
mode Of life was an editorial in one
of the daily newspapers. This was a
scathing arraignment of master In
high finance. The point Of the writ
er's attack was the grim sarcasm for
such methods of thievery as are kept
within the law. That phrase held the
girls fancy. and she read the article
sgain with a quickened interest Then
she began 70 mediate,
1t WIS the law that had worked the
ruiz Of her life. which she had striv-
en- to. make wholesome In conse-
quence she felt for the law no genuine
respect. only detestation as for the
epitome of injustice. Yet. she gave 1t
superficial respect. born of those
three years of suffering which had
been the result of the penalty infict-
ed on her. Now, in the paragraph she
had just read she found a clew to sug-
gestiye thought. hint as to Il means
by which she might satisfy her rancor
against the law that had outraged her,
and this in safety since she would at
tempt nought save that within the
law.

CHAPTER v.
Keeping Within the Law.

N m ARY'S heart leaped at the pos

words. within the law" She
might do anything, seek any
revenge. work any evil, enjoy any mas
terry as long rs she should keep with
in the law. There could be no pun
lshment then. That was the lesson
taught by the captain in high finance.
He was at pains always in his stupen-
dous robberies to keep within the law.
To that end he employed lawyers Of
mighty cunning and learning to guide
his steps Alright In such tortuous paths.
There, then. was the secret. Why
should she. not use the like means?
Why, indeed? She had brains enough
to devise. surely. Beyond that she
needed only to keep her course most
carefully within those limits of wrong
doing permitted by the statutes. The
sole requirement would be q lawyer
equally INSCRIPTIONS and astute.
She took Joe Carson into her conf
dence. He was vastly astonished at
the outset and not quite pleased. To
his view this plan offered merely a
fashion of setting difficulties in the
way of achievement.
Presently, however, the sincerity and
persistence Of the girl won him over
The task of convincing him would
have been easier had he himself ever
known the torment of serving a term
in prison Thus far. however. the for
ger had always escaped the penalty
for his crimes, though often close TO
conviction. But Mary's arguments were
of compelling sort as she set them
forth in detail. and Carson agreed that
the experiment should be made.
An agreement was made by which
Joe Carson and certain of his more
trusted intimates in the underworld
were to put themselves under the or
ders of Mary concerning the sphere of
their activities. Furthermore. they
bound themselves not to engage in any
devious business without her consent.
Aggie. too. was one of the company
thus constituted, but she figured little
in the preliminary discussions. since
neither Mary nor the forger had much
respect for the Intellectual capabilities

ciated to. the full her remarkable pow
ers of influencing men to her will.
1t was not difficult to find a lawyer
suited to- the necessities Of the under
taking. Mary selected Sigismund Har-
ris. an attorney. just in the prime of
his mental vigors. who possessed a
knowledge of the law only to be equal
ed by his disrespect for it.
Forthwith the scheme was set in OPP

In the time that followed Mary lived

craftsmen. The period wrought trans
formations Of a radical and bewilder-
ing sort in both the appearance and
the character of the girl.
Joe Carson. the forger. had long been
acquainted with Aggie and her broth
er. though he considered them far be-
meath him in the social scale. since
their criminal work was not of that
high kind on which he prided himself.
But as he cast about for some woman
to whom he might take the hapless
girl he had rescued his thoughts fell
on Aggie. He was relieved rather
than otherwise to learn that there was
already an acquaintance between the
two women, and the fact that his
charge had served time in prison did
not influence him one jot against her..
Mary let herself drift. 1t seemed to
her that she had abandoned herself to
fate in that hour when she threw her.

azines as she could wish.

afforded In this interest Aggie had
