There were two factors that chiefly Influenced her decision. The first was due to the feeling that, wine* the world had rejected her, she need no longer concern herself with the world’s opinion, r»- retain any scru ples over it. Back of this lay her bitter sentiment toward the man who had been the direct cause of her Im prisonment, Edward Glider. It seem ed to her (hat the general warfare against the world might well be made an initial step In the warfare she nuant to wage, somehow, some time, against that man personally. In ac cordance with th*- hysterical threat she had uttered to his face. The factor that was the Immediate cause of her decision on an Irregular mbde of life whs an editorial 1n one of the dally newspapers. This was a scathing arraignment, of a master In high finance. The point of the writ er s attack was the grim sarcasm for such methods of thievery as are kept within the law. That phrase hald the girl’s fancy, and she read the article again with s. quickened inter est. Then, she began to meditate. She herself was in a curious, inde terminate attitude as far as concern ed the 1av\. It was the law that had worked the ruin of her life, which she had striven to make wholesome. In consequence, she felt for the law no genuine respect, only detestation h far the epitome of injustice. Yet she gave it a superficial 'respect, born of those throe years of suffering which had been the result of the penalty inflicted on her. It was as an ef fect of this iatter feoling that she was determined on one thing of vital imports nee; that never would she be guilty of anything to pit her against the law’s decree*. She had known too many hours of anguish in the doom set on her life because she had been deemed a violator of the law. No, never would she let herself take any position In which the law could accuse her. Hut there remained the fact that the actual cause of her long miwry was this same law, mani pulated by the man she hated. It had punished her, though she had meen without fault. For that reason, she must always regard it as her enemy, must, indeed, hate It with an inten sity beyond words -with an Inten sity equal to that she bore the man Glider. Now, In the paragraph she had Just read she found a clue to suggestive thought, a hint as to a means by which she might satisfy her rancor against the law that had outraged her and thus In safety since she would attempt nought save that within the law. Might Do Anything. Mary's 'heart leaped at the possibil ity bark of those three words, "within tlie law." She might do anythin,,-, seek my revenge, work any evil, en joy, enjoy ami mastery, ns long as she should keep within the law. There could be no punishment then. That was the lesson taught by the captain in high finance. He was at pains al ways in bis stupendous robberies to keep within the law. To that end. he employed lawyers of mighty cunning and learning to guide his steps arlgnt in such tortuous paths. There, then, was the secret. Why should rile not use the like means? Why, In deed? She had brains enough to de vise. surely, lteyond that, she needol "It’s Dick!” The cry came as a wai lof despair from the girl “What?” asked the bride. “Die,” explained the girl who likes to talk, “still trying to learn!” What ’Enry Learned.

For that, the sole requirement would be of wrong-doing j»erm1tted by the statutes. At once, Mary’s mind was made up. After all, the thing w r r.i absurdly simple. It was merely matter f*or Ingenuity and for prudon e In alliance. . . Moreover. there would come eventually some adequate device against her arch-enemy, Ed ward Glider. Mary meditated on the idea Tor many days, and ever It seemed Increasingly good to her. Finally, it developed to a point where she believed it altogether feasible, and then she took Joe Garson Into her confidence. He was vastly as tonished at the outset and not quite pleased. To his view, this plan offered merely a fashion of setting difficulties in the way of achievement. Presently, however, the sincerity and persistence of the girl won him over. The task of convincing him would have been easier had he himself ever known the torment of serving a term In prison. Thus far, however, the forger had always escaped the penalty for his crimes, though often close to conviction But Mary's argu ments were of a compelling sort as *he set them forth In detail, and they made their appeal to Garson. who was by no means lacking In a shrewd nat've intel ligence. He agreed that the experiment should he made, notwithstanding the fact that he felt no particular enthusi asm over the proposed scheme of work ing It is likely that his own strong feeling of attraction toward the girl W'hom he had saved from death, who now appeared before him as a radiantly beautiful young woman, was more per suasive than the excellent ideas which she presented so emphatically. *nd with a logic so impressive. They Found a Lawyer. An agreement jtoas made by which Joe Garson. and certain of his more trusted intimates In the underworld were to put themselves under the orders of Mary concerning the sphere of their activities. Furthermore, they bound themselves not to engage In any devious business without her consent. Aggie, too, was one of the company thus con stituted. but she tlgured little in the preliminary discussions, since neither Mary nor the forger had much respect for the intellectual capabilities of the adventuress, though they appreciated to the full her remarkable powers of in fluencing men to her will It was not difficult to find a lawyer suited to the necessities of the under taking. Mary bore in mind constantly the high financier’s reliance on the legal adviser competent to invent a method whereby to baffle the law at any de sired point, and after judicious investi gation she selected an ambitious and experienced Jew named Siglsinund Har ris. Just In the prime of his mental vig ors. who possessed a knowledge of the law only to be equaled by his disrespect for It. He seemed. Indeed, precisely the man to fit the situation for one de sirous of outraging the law remorsely, while still retaining a place absolutely within it. Forthwith, the scheme was set in operation. As a first step, Mary Turner became a young lady of independent for tune, who had living with her a cousin, Miss Agnes Lynch. The flat was aban doned. In Its stead was an apartment in the Nineties on Riverside Drive, in which the ladies lived alone with two maids to serve them. Garson had rooms in the neighborhood, but Jim Lynch, who persistently refused the conditions of such an alliance, betook himself afar, to continue his reckless gathering of other folk’s money in such wise as to make him amenable to the law the very first time he should be caught at it. She Devised a Scheme. A few tentative ventures resulted in profits so large that the company grew mightily enthusiastic over the novel manner of working. In each instance, Uarrls was consulted, and made his confidential statement as to the legality of the thing proposed. Mary gratified her eager mind by careful studies in this chosen line of nefariousriess. After a few perfectly legal breach-of-promise suits, due to Aggie’s winsome innocence of 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. This netted thirty thousand dollars. 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, advertised for c partner to invest capital in a business sure to bring large returns. This ad vertisement caught the eye of Mary Turner, and she answered it. An intro ductory correspondence encouraged her to hope for the victory in a game of cunning against cunning. She consulted with the perspicacious Mr. Harris, and especially sought from him detailed in formation 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 deposited thirty thousand dollars to the partner ship account. 'Phis sum of sixty thou sand dollars was ostensibly to be de voted to the purchase of a tract of land, which should afterward be divided into lot*, and resold to the public at enor mous profit. As a matter of fact, the advertjser plunned to make a spurious purchase of the tract in question, by means of forged deeds granted by an accomplice, thus making through fraud a neat profit of thirty thousand dollars. The issue was, however, disappointing to him in the extreme. No sooner was the sixty thousand dollars on deposit in the bank than Mary Turner drew out the whole amount, as she had a perfect right to do legally. When the adver tiser learned of this, he was, naturally enough, full to overflowing with wrath. But after an interview with Harris he swallowed this wrath as best he might. He found that his adversary knew a dangerous deal as to his various swin dling operations. In short, he could not go into court w'ith clean handR, which is a prime stipulation of the law — though often honored in the breach. But the advertiser’s hands were too perilously filthy, so be let himself he mulcted in raging silence. A New Game. The event established Mary as the arbiter in her own coterie. Here was, in truth, a new game, a game most enter taining, and most profitable, and not in the least risky. Immediately after the adventure with the advertiser Mary de cided that a certain General Hastings tooutd make an excellent sacrifice on the altar of justice—ami to her own financial profit. The olfl man was a notorious roue, of most unsavory repu tation as a destroyer of innocence. It was probable that he would easily fall a victim to the ingenuous charms of Aggie As for that precocious damsel, she would run no leust risk of destruc tion by the satyr. So, presently, there were elaborate plottings. General Hast ings met Aggie in the most casual way. He was captivated by her freshness and beauty, her demureness, her ignorance of all things vicious. Straightway he set his snares, being himself already limed. He showered every gallant at tention on the naive bread-and-butter miss. a*nd succeeded gratifyinglv soon in winning her heart to all appearance. But he gained nothing more, for the coy creature abruptly developed most effective powers of resistance to every blandishment that went beyond strictest propriety. His ardor cooled suddenly when Harris filed the papers in a suit for ten thousand dollars damage for breach of ;—o»nlse. Even while this affair was still in the course of execution, Mary found herself engaged in a direction that offered at least the hope of attaining her great de sire. revenge against Edward Gilder. This opportunity came in the person of his son. Dick. After much contriving she secured an introduction to that young man Forthwith she showed her self so deliciously womanly, so intelli gent. *0 daintily feminine, so singularly beautiful, that the young man was enamored almost at once. The fact thrilled Mary to the depths of her heart, for In this son of the man whom she hated she saw the in strument of vengeance for which she had so longed. Yet, this one thing was so vital to her that iflie said nothing : of her purposes, not even to Aggie, al though that observant person may have possessed suspicions more or less near the truth. Important Engagement. It was some such suspicion that lay 1 behind her speech as, in negligee, she sat cross-legged on the bed, smoking a cigarette in a very knowing way, while i watching Mary, who was adjusting her I hat before the mirror of her dressing ta- ; ble one pleasant spring morning. “Dollin’ up a whole lot, ain’t you?” j Aggie remarked affably, with that laxity of language which characterized her natural moods. “I have a very important engagement with Dick Gilder.” Mary replied, tran quilly. She vouchsafed nothing ntore definite as to her intentions. “Nice boy, ain’t he?" Aggie ventured, insinuatingly. “Oh, I suppose so," came the indiffer ent answer from Mary, as she tilled the picture hat to an angle a trifle more jaunty. The pseudo, cousin sniffed. ,r You s’pose that, do you? Well, any how. he’s here so much we ought to be chargin’ him for his meal ticket. And yet I ain’t sure that you even know whether he’s the real goods or not." The fair face Mary Turner hard ened the least bit. There shone an ex pression of inscrutable disdain in the violet eyes, as she turned to regard Aggie with a level glance. “I know that he’s the son—the only son—of Edward Gilder. The fact is enough for me." The adventuress of the demure face shook her head in token of complete bafflement. Her rosy lips pouted in petulant dissatisfaction. “I don’t get you. Mary,” she admit ted, querulously. “You never used to look at the men. The way you acted when you first run around with me, I thought you sure was a. suffragette. And then you met this young Gilder— and—good night, nurse!" The hardness remained in Mary’s face as she continued to regard her friend. But now there was something quizzi cal in the glance with which she ac companied the monosyllable: Aggie Choked a Little. “Well?” Again Aggie, shook her head in per plexity. “His old man sends you up for a stretch for something you didn’t do—and you take up with his son like—” “And yet you don’t understand!" There was scorn for such gross stupid ity in the musical voice. Aggie choked a little from the ciga rette smoke, as she gave a gasp when suspicion of the truth suddenly dawned on her slow intelligence. “My Gawd!" Her voice came in a treble shriek of apprehension., “I’m wise!” “But you must understand this,” Mary went on, with an authoritative note in her voice. “Whatever may be between young Gilder and me is to be strictly my own affair It has absolute ly nothing to do with the rest of you, or with our schemes for money-making. And, what is more, Agnes. I don’t want to talk about it. But—" “Yes?” queried Aggie, encouraging, as the other paused. She hopefully awaited further confidences. “Bdt I do want to know,” Mary con tinued with some severity, “what you meant by talking in the' public street yesterday with a common pickpocket." Aggie's childlike face changed swiftly its expression from a sly eagerness to sullenness. “You know well, Mary Turner," she cried indignantly, “that I only said a few words in passin’ to my brother Jim. And he ain'i no common pickpocket. Hully gee! He's the best dip In the business!” “But you must not be seen speaking with him," Mary directed, with a. cer tain air of command now become habit ual to her among the members of her clique. "My cousin. Miss Agnes Lynch, must be very careful as to her asso ciates." The volatile Agnes was restored io good humor by some subtle quality in the utterance, and a family pride as serted itself. % “He just stopped me to say It's been the best year he ever had," she ex plained, with ostentatious vanity. Mary appeared skeptical. “How can that be," she demanded, “when the dead line now is John Street?” “The dead line!" Aggie scoffed. A peal of laughter rang merrily from her curving lips. “Why, Jim takes lunch every day in the Wall Street Delmonico’s. Yes,” she went on with increasing animation, “and only yesterday he went down, to police headquarters, just for a little ex citement, 'cause Jim does sure hate dull life. Say, he told me they’ve got a mat at the door with ‘Welcome’ on it—in let ters 3 feet high. Now, what—do—you— think—of—that?” Aggie teetered joy ously, the while she inhaled a shock ingly large mouthful of smoke. “And, oh, yes!” she continued happily, “Jim, he lifted a leather from a bull who was standing in the hallway there at head quarters! Jim sure does love excite ment.” To Be Continued To-morrow.

It is the tragedy of achievement that so often it spells domestic misery, for among those who sit in the grand stand and cheer the victor as he wins the race there is seldom hi* wife. She. |x>t>r. dear laity, has been left far, far behind, somewhere In the first quarterstretc h. America lead* the world in the number of Its divorces and the amount of Its domestic infelicity Undoubtedly one of the reasons of this is because we have no fixed classes, and such wide opportunities that the man who begins at the lowest rung of the social lad der not infrequently ends his career on the top of it. 'Phi* makes it impossible for him to know just what qualities he will need in a wife, and hence adds to the dan gers of matrimony. Abroad people stay more or less consistently in “that sta tion of life to which it has pleased Heaven to call them.” as the prayer book says Also, as a general thing, they marry accordingly If a man is a duke he marries a woman of his own social status, and who understands the duchess business. On the contrary, if he is a bricklayer he expects to he a bricklayer all the .balance of his days, and he espouses another bricklayer's daughter, and they live humbly ami peacefully ever after. But in Aman who begun life as a bricklayer or on the slag pile, and who married a woman de signed by nature to be a bricklayer's or mechanic’s wife, not infrequently comes to occupy a seat in the Senate, or even the Presidential chair, or he becomes ^ multi-millionaire with the power of a king, ami more than a king's way of living. And Mrs. Wife stays just where she was. She would still be an admirable washerwoman or patcher of trousers, hut she is utterly unfitted to be the wife of her husband as he is at present Nor is she to be blamed for this. We talk glibly* about such a woman keep ing up with such a husband. We might with equal justice blame the honest Percheron draft horse for not keeping up with the Arabian race horse, or the domestic hen gor not soaring with the eagle Because nature widowed a man with genius it does not follow that it also supplies talent to his wife. Nor can a man at twenty be blamed for not having enough of the spirit of prophesy to know the sort of a wife he is going to need at fifty That a gifted husband should outgrow his commonplace wife is very sad. It is also very sad when a gifted woman outgrows her commonplace husband. Yet the one happens as often as the I other, and there is no more significant difference between the sexes than the way in which men and women meet this catastrophe in their lives. : , When a mau realizes that he has out- J grown his w ife, that she no longer speaks his languagc.^aor shares his thoughts, and that it is as tedious to explain things to her as Yt is to a child, he is at first impatient, ami then contemptuous of her Then he begins to neglect her, and seek the compan ionship of women who belong to the new’ world into which he has passed, and which he knows his wife can never really enter. Like One Dead. If he is a man with a high sense of duty he tries to make up to her for his lack of affection by giving her money. If he ha* the courage of his desires he pensions her and divorces her. But in any case she is really as dead to him as if the sod covered her face The woman who has outgrown her husband suffers all that the man does who has outgrown his wife, and more, because a woman loves to look up to her husband, she loves to admire him, ami when the time comes that she can no longer do so hers is the agony of the worshiper whose idol is shattered and whose God has proved to have feet of clay. But she hides her loneliness in her own heart. She keeps her dull hus- j band from finding out- how he wearies her is she veils his imperfections from j her friends, and keeps her children from j suspecting that she is their father's su- j 1 jierior. She animates the clod, without i ! ihe clod even guessing whence comes i i iis power More than that, often and often she refuses u run tile race because she knows that her husband cannot keep the pace with her. There are untold bril liant women who turn their backs upon glorious careers because It w'ould mean the wrecking of their homes. It is only in rare cases that the wom an who outgrows her husband seeks solace for it in the society of the man who is a fitting mate fc»r her maturer intellect. She deliberately fills in her life with interests that bring her nearer to her husband, instead of taking her farther from him, and she stays her footsteps to his slow gait so that they can jog along together. It is always a tragedy when either husband or wife outgrow’s the other, but when it happens the man usually sac rifices his wife, w’hile the woman offers up herself on the altar.
