PROLOGUE.

This is a story of brave girl
Who suffered a great wrong. She
vent 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 liv-
ing earned honestly. She gained
lore than a living, and she got it
legally. She met bad men and
good men, and she pitted her wits
,dgainst 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 way you look at
her. The police and the repre-
s%entatipes of law 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.
This story gives an accurate if
Teetine view of the methods of
pork of the police and the crini-
mails, and it shows the finish ola

viatingzy the course he had map

demeanOr. had been settled advan-
%tageously 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. It
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 scrupulous 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
1t. An Introductory correspondence
encouraged her t5<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 a part
nership with the advertiser. By the
terms of their agreement each depos-
tied 100000 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 a mat
ter of fact, the advertiser planned to
make Il spurious purchase of the tract
in question by means of forged deeds
granted by an accomplish, thus max
Ing through fraud 4 heat profit of $780,
900.
No sooner was the 6 $1,000 on deposit
in the bank than Mary Turner drew
out the whole amount, as she had a
perfect right to do legally. When the
advertiser learned Of this he was, nat
urally enough. full to overlooking with
wrath. But after an interview with
Harris he swallowed his wrath as best
he might. He found he could not go
into court with clean hands, which is
a prime stipulation Of the law, though
often honored in the breach. So he
let himself be mulcted in raging ST.
lence.
The event established Mary us the
arbiter In her own coterie. She next
decided that n certain General Hast
tngs would make an excellent sacrifice
Oh the altar of justice-and to her own
financial profit. The old man was IL
notorious roue of most unsavory rep.
utation as n destroyer of innocence.
1t was probable that he would easily
fall n victim to the ingenious charms
OF Aggie. As for that precocious dam.
sci, she would run no least risk OF de-
