"a court of Justice has decreed her
guilty"
Nowadays" Demarest shot ont, 1--WE

Anyway" Glider declared, becoming
genial again. Its out Of our hands.

piled, with a hint Of hesitation. II am

Office and begging for mercy" he pro-
tested truculently. But a note OF fear
lay under the petulance.
Demarests answer was given with
assurance.
"You are mistaken aDout that The
girl doesn't beg for mercy. In fact,
that's the whole point OF the matter.
She demands justice-strange az that
may seem in a court Of Iaw-and moth
ing else. The truth Is. she's q very
unusual girl. long way beyond the
ordinary salesgiri, both in brains and
in education"
The less reason, then. for her being
a thief" Glider grumbied In his heav-
lest voice.
"And perhaps the less reason for be-
heving her to be thief" the lawyer
retorted suavely. He paused for a
moment. then went on There was a
tone OF sincere determination in his
voice. "Just before the Judge imposed
sentence he asked her If she had any
thing TO say. You know. It's Just a
usual fOrm-a thing that rarely means
much Of anything. But thin case was
different. let me ten you. She sur
prised as al by answering at once that

to the magnate. he spoke with q trace
OF anxiety. There were always the re-
porters locking for space to eli with
foolish v2porings.

without ever thought of yielding tc
those temptations that beset a CIR
who is at once poor and charming.
Among her fellows were some like
herself, others unlike. Or her owr
sort In this single particular were the
two girls with whom she shared 8
cheap room. Their common decency
in attitude toward the other sex was
the unique bond OF union. In their as
Socfation she found no real compan-
ionship. Nevertheless they were whole

years. Mary Turner lived. Nine hours
daily she stood behind a counter She
spent her other waking hours In oblig-

scant meals over the gas. washing and
ironing. for the sake OF that neat ap-
pearance which was required Of her
by those in authority at the Emporium,
yet more especially necessary for her
own self respect.
With a mind keen and earnest she
contrived some solace from reading
and stuoying since the free library
gave her this opportunity. By candid
comparison OF herself with others
about her she realized the fact that
she possessed an intelligence beyond
the average. The training by her IA

That was enough. She was charged

clares innocence. Mr.. Glider himself
was emphatic against her. The thiev-

ample must be made. The girl was ar

Three years-three years. That

the girls" Glider looked toward Dem
Arrest for acquiescence.
Most unusual case, in my estima-
t5on." Demarest replied. You see. the
girl keeps on declaring her innocence.
That. ef course. Is common enough IN
q way. But here it's different The
point is somehow she makes her pro-
testations more convincing than they
usually do. They ring true. as it seems
to me-
'sThe stolen goods were found In her
locker" Glider declared in q tone Of
nnalfty. "Some Of them, / have been
given 30 understand. were actually In
the pocket OF her coat"
"WeIl," the attorney said, with
smile. '4that sort of thing makes good
enough circumstantial evidence and
without cfrcumstantiai evidence there
would be few convictions for crime.
Yet as q lawyer I'm free to admit that
eircumstantial evidence alone is never
quite safe as proof OF guilt Natural
~ she says some one else must have
put the stolen goods there. That Is
quite within the measure of possibin-
ty. That sort of thing has been done
countless times
"And for what reason? It's too abb
gurd 10 think about"
'sIn similar cases." the lawyer an
gwered. 'those actually guilty OF the

Yet, measured according to the stern

a humble employment in the Empori-

wage was in6nitesmal, while the toll
was body breaking, soul breaking.
Mary nevertheless avoided the worst

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 q heart ready fer love. willing
to give Of itself its best for the one be-
loved. Beyond that as yet there was
little to be said Of him with exactness.
He was a spoiled child OF fortune. if
you wish to have It 50. 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-
turn. save By his smfles and his genial
air of happiness.
In the twenty-three years Of his nfe
every gift that money could lavish had
been his II the sum total Of benefit
was small. at least there remained the
consoling fact that the harm was even
less. Luxury had not Slapped the
strength OF him. He had not grown
vicious. as have 80 many Of his fellows
among the sons Of the rich.
Sarah explained that Mr.. Glider had
been called to the court OF general ges-
sions by the Judge.
"But what is dad doing In court?"
Sarah explained the matter with her
usual conciseness:
"one 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
down this morning and have q talk
with him about the sentence"
There was no lessening Of the ex-

mans face. he loved his father. and
he trusted where he loved.

the TombS awaiting trial. She was
quite friendless. To the world she was
only thief In duress. At the last the
trial was very short Her lawyer was
merely an undedged practitioner as
signed to her defense as a Formally
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 was 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.F 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 q SNUG
satisfaction in the fact of her disaster
as emphasizing very pleasurably their
own continuance In responsibility.
On the day Of Mary Turner's trial
there was a subtle gayety of gossiplngs
to and fro through the store The
girls plight was like a shuttlecock
driven hither and yon by the battle
dores Of many tongues. It was the
first time In many years that one Of
the employees had been thus accused
Of theft. Shoplifters were so common
as to be a stale topic. There was q re-
freshing novelty In this case. where
one of themselves was the culprft. 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, 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 one Of the de-
partments that morning to ask her il
the owner had yet reached his office.
Been and gone" was the secretary's
answer. He went downtown to the
