Keeping Within the Law.

revenge, work any evil, enjoy any mas
terry as long as she should keep with

There, then, was the secret. Why
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 a 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 a 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
of the adventures. though they appre-
ciated to the full her remarkable pow
ers Of influencing men to her will.
1t was not difficult to find n 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 n
knowledge Of the law only to be equal
ed by his disrespect for 1t.
