CHAPTER vi.
A Tip From Headquarters.

Aggie gave herself over to more ci-
garettes in an easy chair sprawled out
in an attitude Of comfort never taught
in any finishing school for young la
dies. Soon the coming Of Joe Carson,
who was usually in and out Of the
apartment a number of times daily,
provided a welcome diversion. Aggie
explained in response to his question
that Mary had gone out to keep an en-
gagement with Dick Glider.
Mary has been with him a good
deal lately" he said, half question
ingly.
That's what" was the curt agree
ment.
Think she's stuck on him."
"Why not?" Aggie retorted. BET
your life I'd be If had chance. He's
a swell boy, and his fathers got the
coin too"
At this the man moved impatiently,
and his eyes wandered to the window.
Again Aggle studied him with a swift
glance Of interrogation.
Joe, if there's anything on your
mind shoot It."
IT'S Mary" Carson explained, with
some embarrassment; 'her and young
Glider"
"Well?" came the crisp question.
well, somehow" Carson went on,
still somewhat confusedly, Il can't see
any good Of it for her"
"Why?" Aggie demanded, in sur
prise.
"Old man elders got big pull, and
If he caught on to his boys going
with Mary he'd be likely to send the

I'VE amt done nothin' they can

whether we haven't, don't matter" he
objected. "Once the police set out af-
ter you they'll get you. Russia amt
in it with some of the things 1 have
seen pulled off in this town"
"Oh, can that 'fraid talk!" Aggie ex-
claimed roughly. Il tell you they can't
get us. We've got our fingers crossed. -
A noise at the hall door interrupted
her, and she looked up to see a man.
while behind him appeared the maid
prot esting angrily.
Never mind that announcing thing

expostulating servant in a voice that

Might Help Some.-At a recent din
ner, reference was made by one Of the
guests to the refusal Of the average
American to look long on the serious
side. Whereat Senator Thomas j.
Walsh Of Montana was reminded OF an
incident Of New England.
Some time ago, he said. young
man was visiting the New England
states when he ran across a very old
church. Wishing to see the interior,
he hunted up the sexton.
This is certainly some antiquated
edifice," observed the visitor, glancing
from the roof to the floor. where many
burials had been made a century be-
fore.
YES" reverently answered the SEX
ton. 1T is more than 200 years old,
and many people sleep beneath its
roof"
You don't really mean it," was the
prompt rejoinder of the sunny citi-
zen. why don't you get more in
teresting her?"-Boston Adver-
tiser.

advised that "Justus Perth" was only
an assumed name. and that the real
name and title Of the person to be
found at any price was Count Otto

Another photograph more recent
than the one which had accompanied
the first inquiry. was appended.

CHAPTER ".
Ksepina Within the Law.

II
Mary's heart leaped at the possibili-
ty back of those three words, within
the law" She might do anything,
seek revenge, work any evil. enjoy any
mastery as long as she should keep
within the law. There could be no
punishment then That was the les
son taught by the captain in high n
nance. He was at pains always In his
stupendous robberies to keep within
the law. To that end he employed
lawyers Of mighty cunning and learn
ing to guide his steps Alright in such
tortuous paths. ,.rC
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 lawyer
equally INSCRIPTIONS and asute.
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 him
self known the torment Of serving q
year in prison. Thus far, however, the
forger 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

ciated to the full her remarkable pow

Cassidy turned and went noisily out
Of the drawing room. AS she heard
the outer door close behind the detec-
tive Aggie's expression grew vicious.

Carson answered with a note of

cape OF his lie as ever pereii q soioier.
1t was In the course OF the proions-

the Sudan In the eighties; In the nrst
year OF that decade. In fact
There was lively skirmish going
on at q place named handouD' just

gineers, was shot by one OF the
mahdi's negro soldiers. The bullet
found its mark In the side of Kitch-
ener's face at the back Of the cheek.
It was a Remington bullet and In
ficted really dreadful wound,
breaking the bone at the base OF the
jaw. 1t took long time to get the
splinters Of bone out, and the doctors
were unable to operate, as the bullet
and fragments Of bone were too close
to the jugular vein. The ball could
not be located. and the doctors pro-
nounced his case as hopeless. They
said the patient could not live and

from England.

er Of influencing men to her will.
It was not difficult to find a 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
knowledge Of the law only to be equal
ed by his disrespect for 1t.
Forthwith the scheme was set in OPP
Grafton. AS a first step Mary Turner
became a young lady Of independent
fortune, who had living with her a
cousin, Miss Agnes Lynch. The fiat
was abandoned. In its stead was an
apartment in the Nineties on River
side drive, in which the ladies lived
alone with two maids to serve them.
Carson had rooms in the neighbor-
hood, but Jim Lynch. who persistently
refused the conditions Of such an alli-
ance, betook himself afar, to continue
his reckless gathering Of other folks
money in such wise as to make him
amenable to the law the very first time
he should be caught at it.
A few tentative ventures resulted in
profits so large that the company grew
nightly enthusiastic over the novel
manner of working. In each instance
Harris was consulted and made his
confidential statement as to the legali-
ty Of the thing proposed. After few
perfectly legal breach of promise suits,
due to Aggie's winsome innocence OF
demeanor, had been settled advantage
ously out of court Mary devised a
scheme Of greater elaborateness, with
the legal acumen Of the lawyer, to in
dorse It in the matter Of safety. 1t
was planned as the swindling OF a
swindler, which, in fact, had now be-
come the secret principle in Mary's
morality.
A gentleman possessed Of some
means, none too scrupu!ous himself,
but with high financial aspirations, ad-
vertised for a partner to invest capital
in a business sure to bring large re-
turns. This advertisement caught the
eye of Mary Turner, and she answered
it. An Introductory correspondence
encouraged her to hope for the victory
in a game of cunning against cunning.
She consulted with Harris and espe-
cially sought from him detailed infor-
nation as to partnership law. His
statements gave her such confidence
that presently she entered into part
nership with the advertiser. By the
terms of their agreement each deposit
ted $4,000 to the partnership account
This sum of 100000 was ostensibly
to be devoted to the purchase of a
tract of land, which should afterward
be divided into lots and resold to the
public at enormous profit. AS mat

Gaffney Ledger.

Gaffney Ledger.
(Gaffney Ledger, October 20)
Editor Gaffney Ledger: II the let
ter of Senator Tillman to me could
possibly justify the editor in admitting
into his columns anything unkind to
him or myself, certainly would never
have given it to the public. But 1t did
not.
In my letter to the senator, and his
to me, we were discussing questions
much higher than politics, and GER
tainly higher than Bleaseism. Neither
of us referred to Blease or Bleaseism,
except incidentally. His request at the
conclusion that I inform him Of the
political status in this county was an
after thought not connected with the
subject Of the correspondence and had
no political significance whatever. No
one could justly infer from 1t how
Senator Tillman or myself stood as to
the race for U. S. senator. The only
data on which could base an opinion
as to Mr.. Tillman's choice for senator
is on general principles. He has new
er told me how he stood.
