The girl made several efforts before
her mumbling became intelligible.-mid
then Iter speech was gasping: broken
with fear.
1 found out they were watching
me. and 1 was ufrald they would catch
me. So I took them and ran Into the
. Ionic room and put them In a locker
that wasn’t close to mine and some In
the pocket of a cost that was bunging
there.' God knows 1 didn’t know
whose it was. 1 just put them tliore-
I was. frightened”—
“But they -ciuiglit yon later. Why
didn’t-you tell then?”,
•1 was afraid.” came the answer
from the shuddering girl. ”1 told them
It was the first time I lmd taken any
thing, and they let tne ofT with a year.
“You cried ami lied, and they let you
olt with a year. 1 wouldn’t cry. 1
told the truth—and’’— Mary’s voice. I
broke In a tearless soli. The color had
gone out of her face, and she stood
rigid, looking down at the girl whose
crime had mined her life with an ex
pression Of Infinite loathing In her eyes.
Aggie took advantage of the pause
Her voice was add. “Some people are
sneaks—just sneaks!”
Somehow the speech was welcome
to the girl, gave her a touch of cour
age sufficient for cowardly protesta
tions. It was more like the abuse that
was familiar to her. A gusli of tears
■ante.
“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 I change my
mind!”
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 ut the
last moment the woman she lmd so
wronged should change In mood and
take hack the money.
Freed from tliu mlasnta of that pres
ence. Mary remained motionless for a
long minute, then sighed from her tor
tured heart.
“A girl 1 didn’t know.” she said be-
wllderedly. “perhaps had never spoken
to—who smashed my life like that!
Oh, if it wasn’t so awful It would be-
tunny! It would be funny!”
CHAPTER IX.
A Bridegroom Spurned
rOl) know—Aggie tokl you—
that Cassidy was up here
from headquarters. He didn’t
put It name to It, hut l’tn on.”
I It was Garson speaking. Mury regard
ed him Inquiringly, and lie continued,
putting the fact with a certain brutal
bluntness after the habit of Ills class.
“I guess volt’ll have to quit seeing
young Gilder. The bulls are wise. His
father has made a holler.’’
•(Don’t let that worry you, .loo.” she
said tranquilly. She allowed a few
seconds go tty. then added us if quite
“No. not y et.” Mary admitted, with
out sign of einlmiTUBSiuent.
Garson wit’s Intently considering an
other phase of the.situation, one sug
gested perhaps -out of Ills own deeper
sent Intents.
"He must think a lot of you," ho said
gravely. "Don’t Ito?"
”1—1 suppose so."
Garson spoke very softly, hut with
an Intensity that left no doubt us to
the honesty of Ills purpose.
“I’d say throw up the whole game
and.go to lilin. If you really care.”.
There fell a tense silence. It was
.broken by Mary.
“I married him to get even with Ills
father." she said. "That’s all there Is
to It. By the way. I expect Dick will
ho here In a minute or two. When he
comes Just remember not to—enlighten
him.” - •
••.Mr. Glider." Fannie announced.
“Any one with .hint?”
“No. Miss Turner," the maid nn
Bwered. !
"Have him come In," Mary ordered.
Garson made Inisty excuses and
went out on the heels of the maid.
Aggie, however, consulting only her
owp wishes In the matter, hud no
thought of lllgiit. and. If the truth .be
told, Mary was glad of the sustaining
presence of another woman. Site got
up slowly utid stood silent, while Ag
gie regarded Iter curiously. A moment
later the bridegroom entered, life was ,. •
still clean cut utid wholesome.' Some | stockholders
sons of wealthy fathers are not'after
four years’ experience of. the white
lights of town. And the'lines of Ills
face were firmer, hotter In every way.
It seemed. Indeed, that here was some
one of a resolute character, not to he
wasted on the trivial and gross things.
He caught Mary’“lit his arms with
."Hello, dear!" smothered In the kiss he
impluritod on her lips.
Mnry strove vainly to free herself.
"Don’t, olt. don’t!" she gasped.
Dick released Ills wife and smiled
the beatific smile of the newly wed.
"Why not?’’ he demanded, with a
smile.

Office east side Main! street, Walke
building, up stairs (old sanitarium)
squeal of amazement from Aggie, a
start of Incredulity from Garson.
“Yes," Mary repeated evenly. "I was
married to him this morning. That
was my important engagement,” she
added with a smile toward Aggie.
Aggie sat erect, her baby face alive
with worldly glee.
"Oh. geo. what luck!" she exclnlm-
ed noisily. "Why, he’s a king fish, be
Is. Gee.’but I’m glad you landed him!"
"Thank you," Mary said with a smile
that was the result of her sense of hu
mor rather than front any tenderness.
It was then that Garson spoke. He
put a question of vital significance.
"Do you love him?"
The question caught Mary all unpre
pared, but site retained her self con
trol 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-
lilanation.no excuse; merely stated the
fact in all Its finality.
’Then you won’t leave us?” Garson
.islied. “We’re going on ns we were
before?" The hint of dejection in ills
manner bad vanished. "And you won’t
live with him?"
“Dive with him?” Mary exclaimed
.unpbaticnHy. "Certainly not!”
Garson wns still patient In Ills deter-
ninntlon to apprehend just what hud
rome to puss.
•‘Does he understand the arrange
ment?" was his question^ ....
asked, without titty trace of emotion.
O Lord! 1 had forgotten all about
dnd. I’ll tell yon what we’ll do. We’ll
semi (lad a wireless front the ship, tbun
write him from I’urls.”
••What was your promise? I told
you that I wouldn’t go with you until
you had brought your futber to me ami
he hitdasvlshed us happiness."
“Maryr Dick said reproachfully,
‘you are not going to hold me to that
promise?”
I am going to (told you to that prom
ise, Dick."
All right. You puck up what things
you need, girlie-just a few, because
they sell clothes in Paris. And mean
time I’ll run down to dud’s office, and
have bin/ back here in half an hour.
You will be all ready, won’t you?"
"Yes. yes. I’ll be ready. Go anil
bring .vour father.”
“You bet I will!" Dick cried hearti
ly. He would have taken her in his
arms again, hut she evaded the caress.
“Just one!" Dick pleaded.
"No," the bride replied with deter
mination.
There” was silence in the drawing
room until file two women heard the
closing of the outer door of Mto apart
ment. Then, at last. Aggie relieved
her pentup emotions in a sigh that
wns near a groan. .
"Oh, gosh!” she gasped. “The poor
