And in that one respect, at least
she meant to respect Dirks wishes
His name always would be coupled
with hers since the official an
nouncement of their engagement
even fiber mind refused to follow
up that painful off"
She would not drag him into this
II she could possibly avoid it.
A LII this she had to make clear
L N to Mr.. Jupiter, as we'll as her
plan to capture the Fly. When she
had finished, he asked:
You sure he'll be there?"
TITS almost a certainty, Bowen
thinks. His horse races at HiaIeah
on the sixteenth. He'll show up, all
right-he doesn't take the law seri-
ously, you know. He's been arrested
many times, but they've had to let
him go.
Hes careful. Bowen says he's
the smartest crook unhung. Maybe
that's why they call him The Fly
He's so hard to swat"
Jupiter grunted
IF the police can't swat him, how
do you expect to?"
BY avoiding their methods, and
using my own! He can't be taken
in an open chase, that's been tried
too many times. Very well. Well
emulate spider, spread our web
and wait for him!
He'll come. The necklace will
bring him. He is the only one who
knows the truth about Eddie He
must be made to tell, that's all. If
you want to do something for me
do that! It's the one thing want
I want, more than anything"

LIE was silent long time. Mary
Ii could not read his thoughts
Everything hung on his answer
she almost prayed.
IF I thought you two youngsters
were right-that that man was the
Dne-Id never rest, while he was
above ground! Every cent I've got
would go to see him hung!"
Spots of red burned in the blood
less cheeks; Mary had not seen him
so galvanized with life since the
first few hopeful days of the police
search for his wife's murderer. The
4 thirst for revenge gave him an I'M
expected zest in life.
1t might be a better thing for
him, in the end, than the coddlfng
DR.. Jordan had enforced on him.
Jupiter slapped the arms of his
chair.
IF you were a boy, now-but a
girl like you-what will people
think if 1 let you walk up to that
crook with a fortune hanging
around your neck2 No, sir, can't
let you do a crazy thing like that,
Mary"
"Then," Mary said quietly, under
the terms of your wife'S will, /
will choose the necklace. Although
it really doesn't matter now
whether I actually have the neck
lace in my possession or not-The
Fly thinks l have.
Those stories will have told him
that and he saw me wearing it. It's
TOO late now to back out. AS soon
as he thinks it safe again, he'll be
making another try for it. And all
the papers say you've given the
necklace to me.
I'm in danger now, and always
will be, while he's at large. For
my own safety, the best thing I
can do is bring him to justice as
quickly as possible.
GAS for seeking him out, I'll be
far safer knowing his movements
than I'll ever be with him at large
-. you see that, don't you?"
Jupiter scratched an ear. THAT'S
mighty near the TRUTH" he adj
mitted.
Ut may take a little time" Mary
L continued. ''but it can be done,
Don't you mind me! I shan't be
frightened. I wasn't frightened be-
fore when I saw him in Shay's-I
was thrilled as any school girl, and
glad. I can't tell you how glad.
Il thought it wouldn't be long
until-but he got away. Well have
to wait while-fluSh him again, as
Bowen calls it, but we'll get him. ]
don't want them just to send him
to- jail want them to hang him!
dol"
Her own vehemence surprised
her, but she knew it was true-that
these unbecoming, blood-thirsty
sentiments were truly hers.
She turned on him, demanding
defiantly, Does it sound awful? /
mean it. never knew I could hate
any one as much as hate that
mani" She walked about her eyes
stormy, her face flushed.
But Jupiter was not looking at
her. He was seeing visions of his
own in the pattern of the rug, his
hand clinching and unclinching on
the crook of his cane.
He held it at arms lengths, like
q weapon, and banked the floor
withwith it.
IF he's the man." he said, I'll
see him hanged if I have to put
every cent I've got behind it. BY
God, I'd like to tend to it myself!
If you can toll him on hoard the
GYPSY"
Il can. I can trick him, ] know
canl" Her throat was tight with
exultation and resolution.
The door behind them opened
Mary whirled about. Bruce Jupi-
ter's voice spoke suavely in the
tense quiet that followed her last

I'm sure you can, Miss Hark-
