There beats a heart, they say, that's

When giddy girls get just so far
She gives them such awful scoldin'.
And when the orbit of the buns
Does cross the sentry beat of Lisby's
Does she go jam them in the Toms?
No: Buys for them a meal at F'risbee's.

Our souls to black; our hearts to

The owner of the store returned to
his labors with new Zest, for the
meeting with his son had put him In
high spirits. Perhaps 1t might have
been better for Mary Turner had she
come to him just then, while he was
yet in his softened mood. But fate
had ordained that other events should
restore him to his usual harder self
before their interview. Smithson en-
tered with an expression Of discom-
future on his rather vacuous coun-
tenance. He walked almost nimbly to
the desk and spoke with evident dis
tress as his employer looked up inter-
negatively.
"McCracken has detained-er-a-
lady, sir" he said feebly. "She has
been searched, and we have found
about 800 worth of laces on her."
"Well?" Glider demanded impati-
entity. Such affairs were too common
in the store to make necessary this in
trusion of the matter on him. why
did you come to me about it?"
I'm very sorry, sir, but thought
it wiser, sir, to-er-to bring the mat
ter to your personal attention. The
lady happens to be the wife Of ]. w.
Gaskell, the banker. you know"

Prologue.

Prologue.
This is a story Of brave girl VINO
suffered a great wrong. She went to
prison for three years for crime that
she did not commit. and when she LETT
prison her record stood between her
and a living earned honestly. she
gained more than living, and she got
It legally. She met bad men and
good men, and she pitted her wits
against. those Of men trained in the in
tricacies of the law and in the plans
Of criminals.
Mary Turner is good or bad accord
Ing to the way you look at her. The po-
lice and the representatives Of law and
order that had condemned her to
felon's cell called her bad. One young
man believed her to be good, and ne
stood by her through storm and stress
through circumstances that tried his
soul.
This story gives an accurate II meet
ing view of the methods OF work OF
the police and the criminals, and II
shows the finish Of brave crook VINO
followed undeviatingly the course he
had mapped out.

CHAPTER II.
Only Three Years.

When at last the owner of the store
entered the office his face showed ex-
treme irritation.
What did they do with the Turner
girl?" his secretary inquired in an
e!aborately casual manner.
Glider did not look up from the heap
of papers, but answered rather harsh-
ly.
II don't know-I couldn't wait" he
said. He made a petulant gesture as
he went on. Il don't see why Judge
Lawlor bothered me about the matter.
He is the one to impose sentence. not
/. I am hours behind with my work
now"
Edward Glider was a big man phys
ically, plainly the possessor Of that
abundant vital energy which is aprime
requisite for achievement in the order
ing of modern business concerns.
Force was indeed the dominant quail
ty Of the man. His tall figure was
proportionately broad, and he was
heavily fieshed. In fact the body was
too ponderous. Perhaps, in that char
acteristic might be found a cew to
the chief fault in his nature. For he
was ponderous, spiritually and men
tally, as we'll as materially. The fact
was displayed suggestively in the face,
which was too heavy with it's promi-
