the balance from Malta and vicinity.

CHAPTER TX.
A Bridegroom Spurned.

1t was Carson speaking Mary regard
ed him inquiringy, and he continued,
putting the fact with Il certain brutal
bluntness after the habit of his class.
II guess you'll have to quit seeing

said TRANQUILITY. She allowed a few
seconds go by, then added as if quite

squeal of amazement from Aggie,
start of incredulity from Carson.
"Yes," Mary repeated evenly. III was
married to him this morning. That

added with smile toward Aggie.
Aggie sat erect. her baby face alive
with worldly glee.

ed noisily. "Why, he's king fish, he
Is. Gee, but Pm glad you landed him"
"Thank you," Mary said with a smile
that was the result of her sense of hui
NOR rather than from any tenderness.
1t was then that Carson spoke. He
put a question of vital Significance.
"Do you love himy'
The question caught Mary all UMPIRE
pared, but she retained her self con-
troll sufficiently to make her answer in
a voice that to the ordinary ear would
have revealed no least tremor.
"No," she said. She offered no eX-
PLANTATION, no excuse; merely stated the
fact in all it's fnality.
"Then you won't leave us?" Carson
asked. "We're going on as we were

Aggie accepted the news with fitting
excitement.

with satisfaction.

addressed the girl with certain won.
dering before this mystery of horror.
"Why did you throw the blame on
me?"
The girl made several efforts before
her mumbling became Ineligible, and
then her speech was gasping, broken
with fear.
Il found out they We're watching
me, and was afraid they would catch
me. So took them and ran into the
cloak room and put them in locker

the pocket of coat that was hanging
there. God knows didn't know
whose it was. l just put them there

"But they caught you later. Why
didn't you tell then?''
II was afraid" came the answer
from the shuddering girl. II told them
1t was the first time had taken any
thing, and they let me off with year."
"You cried and lied. and they let you
of with year. l wouldn't cry. l
told the truth-and"- Mary's voice
broke in fearless sob. The color had
gone out Of her face, and she stood
rigid. looking down at the girl whose
crime had ruined her life with an ex-
preston Of infinite loathing in her eyes.
Aggie took advantage of the pause
Her voice was acid. "Some people are
sneaks-just sneaksr'
Somehow the speech was welcome
to the girl, gave her a touch of cour-
age sufficient for cowardly protesta-
tions. 1t was more like the abuse that
was familiar to her. A gush of tears
came.
"I'll never forgive myself, never!"
she moaned.
"Oh, yes, you WILL" Mary said
malevolently. "People forgive them
selves pretty easily. Stop crying. No
body is going to hurt you" She thrust
the money again toward the girl and
crowded it into the half reluctant, half
greedy hand. "Take it, and get Out"
The contempt in her voice rang still
sharper. GO. before l change my
mindy'
The girl needed no second bidding.
With the money still clutched in her
hand she went forth swiftly, stumbling
a little In her haste, fearful lest at the
last moment the woman she had so
wronged should change in mood and
take back the money.
Freed from the miasma of that pres
ence, Mary remained motionless for a
long minute, then sighed from her tor
tured heart.
"a girl l didn't know" she said be-
wilderedly, perhaps had never spoken
to-who smashed my life like that!
Oh, if it wasn't so awful it would be-
funny! 1t would be funnyH

mo. not yet" Mary admitted, with
out sign of embarrassment.
Carson was intently considering an
other phase Of the situation. one sug-
gested perhaps out of his own deeper
sentiments.
"He must think lot of you," he said
yravely. Don't hep
Ill suppose So"
Carson spoke very softly, but with
an intensity that left no doubt as to
the honesty Of his purpose.
I'D say throw up the whole game
and go to him, II you really care"
There fell tense silence. It was
broken by Mary.
II married him to get even with his
father" she said. That's all there Is
to 1t. By the way. expect Dick will
be here in a minute or two. When he
comes just remember not to-enlighten

"Any one with him?''
mo. Miss Turner" the maid an
swered.
Have him come in,' Mary ordered.
Carson made hasty excuses and
went out on the heels of the maid.
Aggie, however. consulting only her
own wishes in the matter, had no
thought of flight and, if the truth be
told, Mary was glad of the sustaining
presence of another woman. She got
up slowly and stood silent. while Ag-
gle regarded her curously. A moment
later the bridegroom entered. He was
still clean cut and wholesome. Some

1t seemed. indeed that here was some
one of resolute character, not to be
wasted on the trivial and gross things.
He caught Mary in his arms with
"Hello, dearw smothered in the kiss he
implanted on her lips.
Mary strove vainly to free herself.
Don't, oh, DON'T" she gasped.
Dick released his wife and smiled
the beatific smile Of the newly wed.
"Why not?" he demanded. with a
smile.

which Mary could turn for momen-
tary relief.
The bridegroom faced about and
perceived Agnes. He made formal
bow and spoke quietly.

shone on his face-"you could hardly

troubling him throughout the day.
Its sure enough" he stated, "but
is 1t safe"
"What do you mean?"
Carson walked to and fro nervously
as he answered.
"S'pose the bulls get tired Of you
putting it over on 'em and try some
rough work."
Don't worry, joe know way to
stop it,"
"Well, so far as that goes, so do L."
the forger said, with significant en-
phasis.
"Just what do you mean by that?"
Mary demanded, suspiciously.
"For rough work." he said, II have

"Impossible!' Mary calculated.
'No, it amt. Here, wait, I'll show
you"
"Good gracious, not here" Mary ex-
claimed in alarm. 1--WE would have
the whole place down on u.s."
Carson chuckled.
"You just watch that dinky little
vase at the table across the room there.
'Taint very valuable, is it,"
"No," Mary answered
In the same instant, while still her
eyes were on the vase, it fell in a cas-
cade Of shivered glass to the table and
floor. She had heard no sound, she
saw no smoke. Perhaps there had
been a faintest clicking noise. She
stared dumfounded for few seconds,
then turned her bewildered face to-
ward Carson. who was grinning in
high enjoyment.
"Neat little thing, amt it," the man
asked, exultantly.

with their heads close together over a

ing. "a chance that will make for

The craven spirit of the girl could
struggle no more. She could only sit
in a huddled, shaking heap of dread.
Mary soon mastered her to such an
extent that when she spoke again, as
