Keeping Within the Law.

N HARY'S heart leaped at the pos
NH sibility back of those three
V words. within the law" She
might do anything, seek any
revenge, work any evil, enjoy any mas
terry as long as she should keep with
in the law. There could be no pun
ishment then That was the lesson
taught by the captain i'm high finance.
He was at pains always in his stupen-
dous robberies to keep within the law.
To that end he employed lawyers of
mighty cunning and learning TO guide
his steps Alright in such tortuous paths.
There, then. was the secret. Why
should she not use the like means !
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
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 I'm 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.

For the first time in her life, thanks
to the hospitality of Aggie Lynch, Sc

in luxurious idleness, while her every

In the end the suggestion came from

There were two factors that chiefly
Influenced her decision. The first was
due to the feeling that. since the world

Ion or retain any scruples over 1t.
Back of this lay her bitter sentiment
toward the man who had been the d.
rect cause Of her imprisonment. Ed
ward Glider.
The factor that was the immediate
cause OF her decision on an irregular
mode of life was an editorial in one
Of the daily newspapers. This was a
5cathing arraignment of a master in
high finance. The point of the writ
er's attack was the grim sarcasm for
such methods of thievery as are kept
within the law. That phrase held the |
girls fancy. and she read the article |
again with quickened interest. Then |
she began to mediate.
1t was the law that had worked the |
'uin Of her life. which she had striv-
IN to make wholesome. In conse-
luence she felt for the law no genuine
aspect, only detestation as for the
,pitome of injustice. Yet, she gave it

himself

then to an audible command. He was
seriously disturbed by the gently spo-

girls lips. He was not prepared with
any answer. though he hoAy resented
every word of her accusation.
Cassidy faced about. and in his
movement there was a tug at the wrist
of the girl that set her moving toward
the door. Her realization of what this
meant was shown in her final speech,

II was then that despair did come
upon the girl. She had tried with all
the strength of her to live straight.
Yet despite her innocence. the world
would not let her live according to her
own conscience. 1t demanded that she
be the criminal it had branded her-if
she were to live at ALL She still walk
ed the streets falteringly, seeking some
place, but her heart was gone from
the quest Came an hour when she
thought Of the river and was glad.
So she went through the long stretch
Of Ill lighted streets. crossed some rail-
road tracks to pier, over which she
hurried to the far end. where 1t pro-
jected out to the fiercer currents of the
Hudson. There. without giving her
self a moments pause for reflection or
hesitation. she leaped out as far as
her strength permitted into the coll OF
waters. But In that final second nat
ural terror In the face of death over
came the lethargy of despair-a shrek
burst from her lips.
On the side of the pier a man had

in alarm at the cry and was just In

under the dim moonlight as It swept
down with the tide. two rods beyond
him. He threw off his coat and sprang
far out after the drifting body. He
came to 1t in few furious strokes and

Then began the savage struggle to
save her and himself. The currents
tore at him wrathfully, but he fought
against them with all the f1erceness of
his nature. What saved the two of
them was the violent temper Of the
man. Always 1t had been the demon
to set him afame His rage mounted
and gave him new power in the battle.
Under the urge of 1t he conquered and
at last brought himself and his charge
10 the shore.
Mary revived to clear consciousness,
which was at first inclined toward
hysteria. but this phase yielded soon
under the sympathetic ministrations
Of the man. His rather low voice was
soothing to her tired soul. and his
whole air was at once masterful and
gently tender. When finally she was

support of his arm she went forward |
