and that his wife, Mrs. Virginia Miner Thorne. was
the heiress the fortune Of her millionaire father,
James p Miner president Of the Standard Steel Car
Company. Naturally. he was not anxious to see the
story In the newspapers.
But Mary didn't mind it bit. With the show
girls every little bit Of publicity helps, and have
seen members of the show actually visit the news
paper Offices the moment the show reaches town in
order to acquaint the editors with disgraceful
scandal about themselves. At, least, half of the
scandals which they pretend to be very indig.
nant originate with themselves, will show in
other chapter.
And SO the next morning Mrs. Thorne read all
about it, and what is more, she read Mary Lygo's
naive statement that she, Mrs. Thome, was very
charming woman and very dear friend of hers To
prove it Mary had shown the reporters picture of
Mrs Thorne which had been presented to her by the
gallant Mr.. Thone
The reason for this strange circumstance was
that Mr.. Thorne saw plenty of trouble ahead when
those reporters were through writing the story and
he thought the best way out was to pretend that
Mary was friend of the family, just she had said
and that there nothing unusual in the fact that
he had been in her room when she staged her
dramatic suicide" But, although this was a pretty
Mrs. Thorne. There is nothing nicer than being
called charming person in print, unless the obser
walton is made by social inferior who eptertains
the same notion about ones husband
So Mrs. Thorne sat all day long in the drawing
Of their fashionable home, waiting for her hus
band to walk in and explain matters But while the
latter may have had bad taste, he had rood sense.
Of waiting she packed her belongings and took
suite at Chicago hotel.

science and tried to patch things up but the charm

while matters went along DeauuIuiy. lhOrhe was
marvellously attentive. A wide diamond bracelet
covered the criss-cross scar on her left Every
day she had note from Thorne, who called himself
Little Gordie" and Papa" Mary he called his
"Momsie."
Then Mary thought it would be good idea to
cnch all this love and affection by getting married
SO, too, but Gordon's real mamma most decidedly
did not, and when the matter was broached to her
she said that she would cut her son of with nickel

When young Mr. Thorne told Mary Lygo about
this she good and mad and accused her cavalier
of being tied TO his mothers apron strings, which
seemed to be the case for he refused to change his
mind
There was only one thing left to do. Mary had
to commit suicide" again. On her last attempt"
she had nicked her pretty white arm too conspcu-
ously to try the thing again. No show girl likes
to look like veteran of foreign and, besides,
experience had taught her that there was some ele-
ment Of danger in swinging razor. even though

So she took counsel and decided to- swallow
veronal, very popular and highly esteemed way of
convincing ones admirer that one Is unhappy, ac-
cording to the stage women with whom have dis
cussed this matter. Mary therefore mixed up just

Naturally she was boiling about it. The poison
had really been unpleasant and. of course, the hu.
initiation had been dreadful. And, to add kerosene
to the Aames the first thing she read sitting up
in bed was that the care-free Mr. Thorne was having
a great time down in Florida with several young
ladies, under the careful chaperonage of his rich
mamma.
So the infuriated Miss Lygo hoped right into
her clothes and hastened to the office of her attorney
The next day suits for 100000 apiece were filed
