even as question of whittier.
Joe Carson had performed, perhaps,
his first action with no thought of self
at the back of it. He had risked his
life to save that of stranger The
sensation was at once novel and thrill
ing Since 1t was so agreeable he
meant to prolong the glow of self sat
isfaction by continuing to care for this
waif Of the river.
Joe Carson. the notorious forger, led
the dripping girl eastward through the
squalid streets until at last they came
to an adequately lighted avenue, and
there taXicab was found. 1t carried
them farther north, and to the east to
an apartment house that was rather
imposing, set in a street of humber
dwellings.
Here Carson paid the fare and then
helped the girl to alight and on into
the hallway. Mary went with him
quite unafraid. though now with a
growing curiosity.
The two entered and went slowly up
three fights of stairs. On the landing
beyond the third flight the door of
rear fiat stood open. and in the door
way appeared the figure of woman.

listeners heart. Yes, you are going

They were grim years. those three
years during which Mary Turner serv-
ed her sentence in Burnsing. There
was no time off for good behavior The
girl learned soon that the favor of those
set in authority over her could only be
won at cost against which her every
maidenly instinct revolted So she
went through the inferno of days and
nights in dreariness of suffering that
was deadly. Naturally the life there
was altogether an evil thing. There
was the material i'll ever present in the
round Of wearisome physical toil-the
coarse. distasteful food; the hard mar
row couch; the constant. gnawing irk-
sOmeness of Imprisonment. away from
light and air. away from all that
makes life worth while
The best evidence of the fact that
Mary Turner's soul was not fatally
Soiled must be found in the fact that
still at the expiration of her sentence
she was fully resolved TO live straight.
as the saying is which she had quoted
to Glider This. too. in the face of
sure knowledge as to the difficulties
that would beset the effort and in the
face of the temptations offered to fol
low an easier path.

There was, for example. Aggie

she had slight degree of acquaintance

criminal by training. offered allure
ments of illegitimate employment in
the outer world when they should be
free. Mary endured the companion
ship with this prisoner because sixth
sense proclaimed the fact that here
was one immoral rather than immoral.
and the difference is mighty.
For that reason Aggie Lynch was
the others. She was dainty little
blond, with a baby face. in which were
set two light blue eyes Of sort to
widen often in demure wonder over
most things in surprising and naugh-
ty world. She had been convicted of
blackmail. and she made no pretense
even Of innocence. Instead. she was
inclined to boast over her ability to
BAN boozle men at her will. She was
a natural actress Of the ingenue role.
and in that pose she could unfailingly
beguile the heart of the wisest Of
worldly men.
She bad been reared in criminal
family. which must excuse much.
Long ago she had lost track Of her
father. Her mother she had never
known. Her one relation was broth
er of high standing as a pickpocket.
One principal reason Of her success in
leading on men to make fools of them
selves over her. to their everlasting re-
greet afterward. lay in the fact that In
spite of all the gross irregularities OF
her life she remained chaste.
The girl saw in Mary Turner the
possibilities Of ladylike personality

But as he cast about for some woman

not influence him one jot against her.

Application for a street railway fran
chise covering rs miles of street in
Gary was made to the board of public
works by the Gary & Interurban Rail-
road CO. A franchise of 40 years is

granted before May 1. AT that date
the new Indiana public utilities COM

The franchises asks for rights west

would do. in case of serious epidemic.
1t would mean the closing of the

The Gary common council at ses-
sion that ran late into the evening last
night did more business than carpet
Dagger legislature used to do in
week.
All kinds of legislation from tho
creation of new jobs, the institution of
laws that run amuck of the legislature.
to the naming of commissions to buy
park sites. to consider warehouses and
to determine the ACCESSIBILITY of digging
another Panama canal in the heart of
the city to cost a couple Of million
came up. The money spending mania
also took the form of naming a COM
mittee to buy two more automobiles
for city officials.
Gary To Have Canal-Maybe.
OF most importance-if 1t is ever
carried out-was the Gallagher resolu-
ton for the naming of a council COM
mittee to Investigate the Feasibility of
digging a ship canal from Gary harbor
to the Little Calumet river, the black
dirt therefrom to be used in coating
the Miller sand dunes with park laws.
The resolution was passed and the
committee named.
Although the state legislature has
a3Stha4n=Hroduce an grain be
sold by weight instead of dry measure
the Gary council last night passed a
law of it's own. Fees are also provided
for inspecting weights. measures and
gas meters with all penalties for vio-
lating the law. Mayor Knots will at
once appoint sealer who will get
$1,000 a year.
The Gas Valve Ordinance.
Second reading was given to an ordi-
nance repeating the notorious gas valve
ordinance, which a local gang sought
to hold up 1900 property OWNERS fol-
$50 each by means of tempered ordi-
nance. The new ordinance gives more
leeway in the selection of ivalves-sc
that property owners don't have to buy
from the gang. However, the new ordi-
nance has a fool clause in 1T which
would enable the gas valve gang tt
have a property owner arrested ant
fined as high as $500 If he didn't install
q gas valve. The high penalty is OBJ
jected to.

would have suggested many additional
things and market would have been
one of them.
Reduces Living Cost.
THE markets reduce the cost OF liv-
ing and they insure fresh foodstuffs. In
the east the woman in the sealskin,
who came in her auto, carried her
market basket just the same as the
wife of the Italian laborer.
To Build At Once.
I'VE visited Indianapolis. Cincinnati.
Detroit, Cleveland. Washington, Rich
mond, and other cities but the Dayton.
Baltimore and Washington markets
were the best. At Dayton the city own
ed market did hardly any business
while the privately-owned one had the
crowds.
AT first I thought that the market
people here were asking too much in
wanting eight lots but they should pro-
vide for further extensions
