his thoughts now crept a doubt, one
that alarmed his sense Of justice. A
horrible suspicion that he had misjudg-
ed Mary Turner crept into his brain
and would not out. He fought it with
all the strength of him, and that was
much. but ever it abode there.
Mary Turner herself. too. was in
condition utterly wretched, and for the
same cause-Dick Glider. That source
of the fathers suffering was hers as
well. She had won her ambition of
years-revenge on the man who had
sent her to prison. And now the Joy

Instead he loved her. That fact SEEM

assert boldly. that she loved him. Had
he acted otherwise the matter would
have been simple enough. But he
loved her--loved her still. though he
knew the shame that had clouded her
life, knew the motive that had led her
to accept him as husband. More-by
a sublime audacity he declared that
she loved him.
There came thrill in her heart each
time she thought of that-that she
loved him. The idea was monstrous,
of course, and yet Here, as always.

cheeks.
Mary Turner was just ready for bed
when a note came by messenger who
waited for no answer, as he told the
yawning maid. AS Mary read the
roughly scrawled message. she was
caught in the grip Of terror. The man
who had saved her from death had
yielded to temptation. AS he had
saved her so she must save him. She
hurried into the gown she had just
put off. Then she went to the tele-
phone book and searched for the num-

URGES WORK DONE .......
AT THE HOME BASE

At his conference with the directors
of the Merchants Association yester-
day afternoon, former Governor Car
ter outlined the ideas for campaign
against free sugar at Washington, as
well as one from the home base, which
were greatly appreciated by the meet
ing. AS a result of the meeting an
other conference will be held tomor-
row afternoon, in which the trustees
of the Chamber of Commerce will take
part. :.....-
President o. c. Swain opened the
meeting yesterday with congratula
tions on the prospect of having so
strong representative as Mr.. Carter
in Washington during the special ses-
sion whan the fate of the sugar tariff
will be decided -
Mr.. Carter spoke of the apathy
shown by the business people of Ho-
noIulu up to this late stage. 1t was
too late to do anything with the
house, but the senate was about even
ly divided and something might be
done there in strengthening the hands
of the friends of fair protection to the
sugar industry. He outlined line of
argument to convince the tariff mend
ers that a duty on sugar was right.
One of the suggestions made by Mr..
Carter was that the businessmen of
Honolulu should set forth the argu-
ments for protection to sugar in their
letters to correspondents on the main
land. With $4,000 letters going out
every month he felt sure there would
be good effects. Il could go to Wash
ington and talk my arm off," said the
speaker, land not make as much i'm
preston as some personal friend Of a
senator whom he has confidence in
could make with a letter. Find the
channel which will be most effective
to reach these men" In conclusion he
said: .
IF | go to Washington now, will
go with the feeling that 1 have all the
work to do, while the community sits
still and waits. But with an active
campaign of thirty days or more here,
| will be able to go with a feeling that
am backed up by a live community"
