Not much, he said. Perhaps
less than some cities would have.
You see that many of the miners are

toward maturity in an experience of
eve increasing penury. The girl was
in the high school when her father
finally gave over his rather feeble eff
fort Of living. At his death the father
left her a character we'll instructed in
the excellent principles that had been
his own. Of worldly goods. not the
value Of a pin.
Yet, measured according to the stern
standards of adversely. Mary was for
tunate. Almost at once she procured
a humble employment in the Empori-
um, the great department store own
ed by Edward Glider. To be sure. the
wage was infinitesmal. while the toll
was body breaking, soul breaking.
Mary nevertheless avoided the worst
perils of her lot. She did not finch
under privation, but went her way

the Tombs awaiting trial. She was
quite friendless. TO the world she was
only a thief in duress. At the last the
trial was very short. Her lawyer was
merely an unfedged practitioner as
signed to her defense as a formality
of the court. At the end twelve good
men and true rendered a verdict Of
guilty against the shuddering girl in
the prisoners dock.
That which vas the supreme tragedy
to the broken girl in the cell merely
afforded rather agreeable entertain
ment to her former fellows Of the de-
partment store. Mary Turner through
out her term of service there had been
without real intimates, so that now
none was ready to mourn over her
fate. Even the two roommates had
felt some slight offense. since they
sensed the superiority of her, though
vaguely. Now, they found a SNUG
satisfaction in the fact Of her disaster
as emphasizing very p%leasurably their
W continuance in responsibility.
On the day of Mary Turner'S tria!
there was a subtle gayety of gossipings
to and fro through the store. The
girls plight was like a shuttlecock
driven hither and yon by the battle
dores Of many tongues. 1t was the
first time in many years that Il Of
the employees had been thus accused
Of theft. Shoplifters were so common
as to be a stale topic. There was a re-
freshing novelty in this case. where
one of themselves was the culprit. Her
fellow workers chatted desultorily of
her as they had opportunity, and com
placently thanked their gods that they
were not as she-with reason.
Smithson, a member of the executive
staff, did not hesitate to speak his
mind, though none too forcibly. Yet
his comment, meager as it was, stood
wholly in Mary's favor. And he spoke
with a certain authority. since he had
given official attention to the girl.
Smithson stopped Sarah Edwards,
Mr. elders private secretary, as she
was passing through n of the de-
partments that morning to ask her if
the owner had yet reached his Office.

without ever Il thought of yielding to
those temptations that beset a girl
who is at once poo and charming.
Among her fellows were some like
herself. others unlike. Of her own
sort in this single particular were the
two girls with whom she shared a
cheap room. Their common decency
in attitude toward the other sex was
the unique bond of union. In their as

ionship. Nevertheless they were whole
some enough. Otherwise they were
i%lliterate, altogether uncongenial.
In such wise, through five dreary
years, Mary Turner lived. Nine hours
daily she stood behind a counter. She
spent her other waking hours in oblig-
atory mental labors, cooking her own

From a Cup of Tears"
Wordsworth in one of his poems
speaks Of "a man too happy for mortal
ity." We sometimes forget the spiritual
significance Of joy. The stoics believed
that happiness was not essential to
a and not to be expected. Happiness
Of a specific kind, based upon good
fortunate to the individual, is indeed
not always to be expected nor always
to be desired. But the deeper hap
piness and JOY that come from the
sure triumph Of the good and the true
are essential to the individual we'll be-
ing and the progress of society.
There have been those who learned
through a beautiful conservation Ito
draw contentment from a cup of
tears" and who came. through life's
higher discipline. to know that there
is a deep and abiding JOY in the midst
Of pain and disappointment, a joy built
upon the knowledge Of life's greatness
and the ability Of the soul to rise above
the temporary thing.
Such a joy as this is needed to make
Il man capable of inheriting eternity
here and hereafter. for it raises man
above the merely mortal and invests
him with energy to pursue the tasks
that are without end and fills him
with a desire to ally himself with the

PROLOGUE.

This is a story of a brave girl
who suffered great wrong. She
went to prison for three years for
a crime that she did not commit,
and when she left prison her rec
ord stood between her and a zip-
ing earned honestly. She gained
more than a living, and she got it
legally. She met bad men and
good men, and she pitted her wits
against those Of men trained tn
the intricacies of the law and in
the plans of criminals.
Mary Turner is good or bad
according.to the nay you look at
her. The police and the repre-
sentatipes of zaw and order that
had condemned her to a fezon's
cell called her bad. One young
man believed her to be good, and
he stood by her through storm
and stress, through circumstances
that tried his soul.

"Why, Mr.. Dick" Sarah gasped.
Hello, Sadie!' came the genial salu-
tation. The young mar advanced and
shook hands with her warmly. ''I'm
home again. Where's dada"
Even as lie asked the question the
quick SOLDERING OF his face bore wit
ness to his disappointment we not
finding his father in the office. And
in the patent chagrin under which the
son now labored was to be found a GER
tain Indication of character not to be
disreSnrIed. Unlike many a child, he
really loved his father. The death Of
the mother years before had left him
without other opportunity for affection
in the home, since he had neither
brother nor sister.
In that simple and sincere regard
which he bore for his father, the boy
revealed a heart ready for love, willing
to give Of itself its best for the one be-
loved. Beyond that as vet there was
little to be said of him with exactness.
He was Il spoiled child of fortune, if
you wish to have it so. Certainly, he
was only a drOne in the worlds hive.
Thus far he had enjoyed the good
things of life without ever doing aught
to deserve them by contributing in re-
air Of happiness.
In the tWenty-three years of his life
every gift that money could lavish had
been his. If the sun total of benefit
was small, at least there remained the
cOnsoling fact that the harm was even
less. Luxury had not sapped the
strength of him. He had not grown
vicious, as have so many of his fellows
among the son of the rich.
Sarah explained that Mr.. Glider had
been called to the court of general ses-
sions by the judge.
"But what is dad doing in court|"
Sarah explained the matter with her
usual conciseness:
Zone Of the girls was arrested for
stealing"
'And dad went to court to get her
out Of the scrape. That's just like the
old man.
"She was tried today and convicted.
The judge sent for Mr.. Glider to come

There was no lessening of the ex-
preston of certainty on the young
mans face. He loved his father. and
he trusted where he loved.
ut will be all right" he declared in
a tone Of entire conviction. Dads
heart is as big as a barrel. He'll get
her off,"
Then of a sudden Dick gave a VIC
lent start. He leaned toward the sec
retary's desk and spoke with a new
seriousness of manner:
"Sadie. have You any money? I'm
broke. My taxi has been waiting out
side all this time"
"Why, yes" the secretary said cheer
fully.
