been restored to life and set within an
environment new and strange to her,
In which soon, to her surprise, she
discovered a vivid pleasure So she
fought no more, but left destiny to
work its will. unhampered by her fu-
tile strivings
For the first time in her life, thanks
to the hospitality of Aggie Lynch, Sc
cretly REINFORCED from the funds of
Joe Carson, Mary found herself living
in luxurious idleness. while her every
wish could be gratified by the merest
mention of it. She was fed on the
daintiest of fare, she was clothed with
the most delicate richness for the first
time as to those more mysterious gar
ments which women love. In addition,
there were as many Of books and mag
azines as she could wish.
Her mind. long starved like her body.
seized avidly on the nourishment thus
afforded In this interest Aggie had
no share-was perhaps a little envi-
GUS over Mary's absorption in printed
pages Aggie took vast pride in her
guest, with the unmistakable air Of
elegance. and she dared to dream of
great triumphs to come. though as
yet she carefully avoided any sugges-
ton to Mary Of wrongdoing.
In the end the suggestion came from
Mary Turner herself. to the great sur
prise of Aggie, and, truth to tell, Of
herself.
There were two factors that chiefly
Influenced her decision. The first was
due to the feeling that. since the world
had rejected her, she need no longer
concern herself with the worlds opin-
ion or retain any scruples over it
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
scathing arraignment of 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
ruin of her life which she had striv-
en- to make wholesome In conse-
quence she felt for the law no genuine
respect. only detestation as for the
epitome of injustice. Yet, she gave it
superficial respect, born of those
three years of suffering which had
been the result of the penalty infiict-
ed on her. Now, in the paragraph she
had just read she found clew to sug-
gestive thought. hint as to means
by which she might satisfy her rancor
against the law that had outraged her.

tempt nought save that within the

| person of his son, Dick. After much
| continuing. she got an introduction to
that young man. Forthwith she show
ed herself so deliciously womanly, so
| intelligent. so daintily feminine. so
singularly beautiful that the young
man was enamored almost at once.
| The fact thrilled Mary to the depths
of her heart, for in this son of the man
| whom she hated she saw the instru-
ment of vengeance for which she had
so longed. Yet this one thing was so
| vital to her that she said nothing Of
| her purposes. not even to Aggie,
| though that observant person may
have possessed suspicious more or less
near the truth.
1t was some such suspicion that lay
behind her speech as, in negligee, she
sat smoking cigarette while watch
ing Mary, who was adjusting her hat
before the mirror of her dressing table
one pleasant spring morning.

her natural moods.

"Nice boy, amt he?" Aggie ventur-
ed insinuatingly.
"Oh. | suppose so," came the indif-
ferent answer from Mary as she tilted
the picture hat to an angle a trifle
more jaunty.
Il don't get you, Mary. You never
used to look at the men. The way you
acted when you first run round with
me, thought you sure was a suf
fragette. And then you met this

"Well?"

There was scorn for such gross stupid
ity in the musical voice.
Aggie choked little from the cigar

suspicion Of the truth suddenly dawn
ed on her slow intelligence.
"Hully gee!' Her voice came in a
treble shrek of apprehension. "Pm

But you must understand this"
Mary went on. with an authoritative
note in her voice. whatever may be

CHAPTER v.
Keeping Within the Law.

N HARY'S heart leaped at the pos
NH sibility back Of those three
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 in 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
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 mucf
respect for the intellectual capa billtle>

Mate Tea.

Although most of the worlds cof-
fee is grown in South America,
there are some South American
states where it is hardly drunk at
all. In no county is coffee 80
dear as in Argentina, for the sim
pie reason that only foreigners ask
for it. The natives of Argentina
drink mate or Paraguay tea, as it
is sometimes called. Among the
working classes tn; is drunk as
freely and frequently as beer in
England. And after dinner, in
stead of coffee, many Argentine
housekeepers serve basin of soup,
which guests from abroad find some
difficulty in swallowing. Attempts
have been made to popularize mate
in Europe, but these have never
proved successful.-London Chron-
