CHAPTER ii
A Cheerful ProdigaI

That which was the supreme trag
edy to the broken girl in the cell
merely afforded rather agreeable en-
tertainment to her former fellows of
the department store. Mary Turner
throughout her term of service there
had been without real influence, SO
that now none was ready to mourn
over her fate. Even the two room
mates had felt some slight offense,
since they sensed the superiority of
her, though vaguely. Now they found
a SNUG satisfaction in the fact of her
disaster as emphasizing very pleas
urahly their own continuance in re-
spectability.
AS many philosopher has OBJ
served, we secretly enjoy the mis-
fortunes of others, particularly of
our friends, since they are closest to
us. Most persons hasten to deny this
truth in its application to them
selves. They do SO either because
from lack of clear understanding
they are not quite honest with them
selves, from lack of clear introspec-
tion or because, as may be more
easily believed. they are not quite
honest in the assertion. AS matter
CT fact, we do find singular salts
faction in the troubles of others.
Contemplation of such suffering rem
ders more striking the contrasted
wellbeing of our own lot. We need
the pains of others to serve as back
ground for our joys-just as sin Is
essential to the background for any
! appreciation OF virtue, even any

shaped, neither too dull nor too shin
ing. And there were, too, finally the
trinity shod feet, set rather prinly on
the floor, small and arched like those
of a Spanish infanta In truth. Mary
Turner showed the possibilities at
least IL not just now the realities of
a very beautiful woman.
Naturally in this period of grief the
girls mind had no concern with such
external merits over which once she
had modestly exulted. All her pres
ent energies were set to precise recol-
lection of the CHASTITY experience into
which she had been thrust
In its outline the event had been
tragically simple.
There had been thefts in the store.
They had been traced eventually TO
certain department, that in which
Mary worked. The detective was
alert. Some valuable silks were
missed. Search followed Immediate
ly. The goods were found in Mary's
locker. That was enough. She was
charged with the theft. She pro-
tested innocence, only to be laughed
at in derision by her accusers. Every
thief declares innocence. Mr.. Glider
himself was emphatic against her.
The thieving had been long con-
tjnued. An example must be made.
The girl was a-estcd.
The crowded condition of the court
calendar kept her for three months
In the Tombs awaiting trial. She
was quite friendless. To the world
she was only thief In duress. AT
the last the trial was very short
Her lawyer was merely an unfledged
practitioner assigned to her defense
as formality of the court. This
novice in his profession was so CRATE
full for the first recognition ever af-
forded him that he rather assisted
than otherwise the district attorney
in the prosecution of the case.
At the end twelve good men and
true rendered a verdict of guilty
against the shuddering girl in the
prisoners dock

Turner's trial. -. The sentence
of the Judge was lenient-only three

worst perils Of her lot. She did not
finch under privation, but went her
way through it, if not serenely, at
least without ever a thought of yield
ing to those temptations that beset a
girl who is at once poor and charm
ing. Fortunately for her, those in
closest authority over her were not
SO deeply smitten as to make obli-
gatory on her a choice between COM
plaisance and loss of position. She
knew of situations like that, the cul
de sac of chastity, worse than any
devised by a Javert. In the store
such things were matters of course.
There is little innocence for the girl
in the modern city. There can be
none for the worker thrown into the
storm center of great commercial
activity, humming with vicious gos-
sip, all alive with quips from the
worldly wise. AT the very outset of
her employment the Is year old girl
learned that she might exc out the
S6 weekly by trading on her per-
sonal attractiveness to those of the
opposite sex. The idea was repug-
nant to her, not only from the maid
enly instinct Of purity, but also from
the moral principles woven into her
character by the teachings of father
wise in most things, though a fool in
| finance. Thus she remained un-
smirched, though well informed as
to the verities of life. She preferred
purity and penury rather than a
slight pampering of the body to be
bought by its degradation. Among
| her fellows were some like herself,
others unlike. OF her own sort, in
this single particular, were the two
girls with whom she shared a cheap
room. Their common decency in at
titude toward the other sex was the
unique bond of union. In their as
sociation she found no real compan-
ionship. Nevertheless they were
wholesome enough; otherwise they
were illiterate. altogether unconge.
NAL.
In such wise through five dreary
years Mary Turner lived. Nine hours
daily she stood behind counter. She
spent her other waking hours in OBJ
ligatory menial labors, cooking her
own scant meals over the gas, wash
ing and ironing, for the sake Of that
neat appearance which was required
of her by those in authority at the
Bon Marche-yet more especially
for her own self-respect. With q
mind keen and earnest she contrive6
some solace from reading and study.
ing, since the free library gave hel
this opportunity. So, though en-
gagged in stultifying occupation
through most of her hours, she was
| able to find food for mental growth
Even in the last year she had reached
a point of development whereat sh,
began to study seriously her owl
position in the worlds economy, t

imposed upon her that for three
years she should be imprisoned. !.
This, despite her innocence. She had
endured much-miserably much
for honesty's sake. And the end of
1t all was shame unutterable. There
was nought left her save a wild
dream Of revenge against the world
that had martyrized her. "ven-
geance is mine. will repay, saith
the Lord" The admonition
could not touch her now. Why should
she care for the DEGREES of a God
who had abandoned heri
There had been nothing in the life
of Mary Turner before the catas-
trophe came. to distinguish it from
many another It's most significant
details were of a sordid kind, ia
miliar to poverty. Her father had
been an unsuccessful man, as sue
cess is esteemed by this generation
of mammon worshipers. He was a
gentleman, but the trivial fact is of
small avail today. He was of good
birth and he was the possessor of an
inherited competence. He had as
well intelligence, but it was not of
a financial sort.
So little by little his fortune be-
came shrunken toward nothingness
by reason Of injudicious investments.
He married charming woman who,
after a brief period of welded hap
piness, gave her life to the birth of
the single child of the union, Mary.
Afterward, in his distress over this
loss, Ray Turner seemed even more
incompetent for the management of
business affairs. AS the years passed
the daughter grew toward maturity in
an experience of ever increasing pen
ury. Nevertheless. there was no actual
want Of the necessities of life, though
always a woefuI lack of its elegan-
cies- The girl was in the high school
when her father finally gave over his
rather feeble effort of living. Be-
. tween parent and child the intimacy
had been unusually close. At his
death the father left her a character
well instructed in the excellent prin-
'ciples that had been his own. That
was his sole legacy TO her. OF world
~ goods, not the value of a pin.
Yet, measured according to the
stern standards Of adversity, Mary
was fortunate. Almost at once she
procured a humble employment in
the Bon Marche, the great depart
ment store owned by Edward Glider
To be sure the wage was infinitesi-
NAL, while the toll was body break
ing, soul breaking. Still the pittance
g could be made to sustain life, and
Mary was blessed with both soul and
body to sustain much. So she merged
herself in the army Of workers-ir
the vast battalion of those that give
their entire selves to a labor mos
stern and unremitting and most il
. rewarded.
Mary, nevertheless, avoided th'
