gained his self control. He stared at
her pleadingly. "Tell me. is this true?"
Here, then. was the moment for
which she had longed through weary
days, through weary years. Here was
the man whom she hated, suppliant
before her to know the truth. Her
heart quickened. Truly, vengeance Is
sweet to one who has suffered un-
justly.

with something Of horror in his voice
"It is" Mary said quietly.
For little. there was silence in the
room. At last, Glider spoke with the
sureness Of a man of wealth. confident
that money will salve any wound.
How much?' he asked, badly.
Mary smiled an inscrutable smile.
'Oh, l don't need money" she said,
carelessly. inspector Burke will tell
you how easy it is for me to get it."
do you want my son to learn what
you are?" he said
why not? I'm ready to tell him
myself"
Then Glider showed his true heart
in which love for his boy was before
all else.
But l don't want him to know" he
stammered. "Why, I've spared the boy
all his life. If he really loves you-it
will
At that moment. the son himself
entered hurriedly. In his eagerness
he saw no one save the woman he
loved At his entrance. Mary rose and
moved backward a step involuntarily
in sheer surprise over his coming.
The young man went swiftly to her,
while the other three men stood silent.
Dick took Mary's hand in a warm
clasp, pressed it tenderly.
II didn't see father" he said happily,
but 1 left a note on his desk at the
office"
Then, somehow. the surcharged at
mosphere penetrated his consciousness,
and he looked around, to see his father
standing grimly opposite him. But
there was no change in his expression
beyond more radiant smile.
Hello, dad" he cried. joyously.
Then you got my noteT'
mo. Dick, haven't had any note"
The young man spoke with simple
pride.
Dad we're married. Mary and
were married this morning"
Mary kept her eyes steadfast on the
father. There was triumph in her
gaze. This was the vengeance for
which she had longed, for which she
had plotted. the vengeance she had at
last achieved. Here was her fruition.
the period of her supremacy.
Glider seemed dazed by the brief
sentence.
Say that again." he commanded.
Dad. Mary and I were married this
morning."
II married your son this morning."
Mary said In matter of fact tone 81

In that insistence lay her ultimate
compensation for untold misery. The
father stood there wordleSs. unable to

had befallen him.

He paused for an instant, then spoke
in voice that was brutally menacing.

The young man turned toward his
bride. There was disbelief. hope. de-

was like years.

answered. Zone to me, one to you

Carson brought his fist down on the

men shook hands. "Now, I'll GET

That's the stuff" Griggs agreed,
greatly pleased.
But sudden shadow fell on the face
Of Carson. He bent closer to his COM
panion and spoke with a fierce inten-
sity that brooked no denial.
"She must never know"
Griggs nodded Understandings.
Mary had gone to her bedroom for a
nap. She was not in the least sur
prised that Dick had not yet returned
though he had mentioned half an hour
At the best there were many things
that might detain him-his fathers
absence from the office, difficulties in
making arrangements for his project
ed honeymoon trip abroad - which
would never occur-or the like. AT
the worst there was a chance of find
ing his father promptly. and Of that
father as promptly taking steps to
prevent the son from ever again see
ing the woman who had so indiscreet-
ly married him.
Yet somehow Mary could not believe
that her husband would yield to such
paternal coercion. Rather. she was
sure that he would prove loyal to her
whom he loved through every trouble.
At the thought a certain usefulness
pervaded her and a poignant regret
that this particular man should have
been the one chosen of fate to be en-
tangled within her mesh of revenge.
There throbbed in her heart torment
ing realization that there were in life
possibilities infinitely more splendid
than the joy of vengeance. She would
not confess the truth even to her in
most soul, but the truth was there and
set her atremble with vague fears.
She had slept. perhaps, half hour
when Fannie awakened her.

of drowsiness.
She got up. slipped into teagown.

Mary's acknowledgment was as plain
as his own question.

Mary guessed that his coming was
altogether Of his own volition, and not
the result Of his sons information, as
at first she had supposed.

Because l intend to save my boy
