Cure
Most Prompt and Effectual
for Bad Colds.
I When you have a bad cold you
want a remedy that will not only
! give relief, out effect \ prompt and
permanent cure, a remedy that is
pleasant to take, a remedy that
contains nothing injurious. Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy meets all
those requirements. It acts on na
ture’s plan, relieves the lungs, aids
expectoration, opens the secretions
and restores the system to a
healthy condition. This remedy
has a world-wide sale and use, and
can always be depended upon. Bold
by all dealers.
In the end, the suggestion came
from Mary Turner herself, to the
great surprise of Aggie, and truth to
tell, of herself.
There were two factors that chiefly
Influenced her decision. The first was
due to the feeling that, since the
world had rejected her, she need no
longer concern herself with the
world's opinion, ct retain any scru
ples over it. Back of this lay her
bitter sentiment toward the man who
had been the direc t cause of her Im
prisonment, Edward Glider. Ft seem-
«‘d to her that the general warfare
against the world might well be made
an initial step In the warfare she
meant to wage, somehow, some time,
against that man personally, In ac
cordance with the hysterical threat
she had uttered to his face.
The factor that was the Immediate
cause of her decision on an irregular
mode of life was an editorial in one
of the daily newspapers. This was a
scathing arraignment of a master in
high finance. The point of the writ
er's attack ups the grim sarcasm for
Huoh methods of thievery as are kept
within the law. That phrase hall
the girl's fancy, and she read the
article again with a quickened inter-
st. Then, she began to meditate.
She herself wait in a curious, inde
terminate attitude as far as concern
ed the law. It was the law that had
w orked the ruin of her life, w hi h
she had striven to make wholesome
In consequence, she felt for the law no
genuine respect, only detestation ts

gave It a superficial respect, born
of those three years of suffering which
had been the result of the penalty
indicted on her. It was as an ef
fect of this latter feeling that she
was determined on one thing of vital
Importance; that never would she be
guilty of anything to pit her against
the law’s decrees. 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. But there remained
tlte fact that the actual cause of her
long misery was this same law, mani
pulated by tin* 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 word* with an inten
sity equal to that she bore the min

had just read she found a clue to
suggestive thought, a hint as to t
means by which sin* might satisfy

outraged her- and thus in safety

that within thi law.

“But you must understand this,’’
i 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 jvaused. She hopefully
awaited further confidences.
“But 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 1 only said a
few words in passin’ to my brother Jim.
And he ain’t no common pickpocket.
Hully gee! He's the best dip in the

“But you must not be seen speaking

clique. "My cousin, Miss Agnes Lynch,

Mary meditated on the Idea for many
days, and ever it seemed increasingly
good to her. Finally, it developed to a
point where she believed it altogether
feasible, and t,hen she took Joe Garson
Into her confidence. He was vastly as
tonished at tlie 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 terrp in prison Thus far,
however, the forger had always escaped

set them forth in detail, and they made
their appeal to Garson, who vv.'s by no

fact that he felt no particular enthusi

beautiful young woman, was more per

she presented so emphatically, arid with
a logic so Impressive.

she should keep within the law.Ther*

They Found a Lawyer.
An agreement ^*as made which
Joe Garson and certain of *us more
trusted Intimates in tire 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 figured little in the
preliminary discussions, since neither
Mary nor the forger bad 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
etlm
the high financier’s reliance oi
adviser competent to ..invent
whereby to baltle the law at any de
sired point, and after judicious investi
gation she selected an ambitious and
experienced Jew' named Sigismund Har
ris. just In the prime of his mental vig
ors. who possessed a knowledge of the
J.aw only to be equaled by his disrespect
for it. He seemed, indeed, precisely
the man to lit the situation for one de
sirous of outraging tlie 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
rich, who persistently refused the
< onditions of such an alliarve, betook
himself afar, to continue his reckless
gathering of other folk’3 money in such
wise as to make him amenable to the
law the very first time he should bo
caught at it.
She Devised a Scheme.
A few tentative ventures resulted in
profit;, si, large that the company grew'
mightily enthusiastic over the novel
manner of working. In each instance,
Harris was consulted, and made his
onfidential statement as to the legality
of the thing proposed. Mary gratified
her eager mind by careful studies in
tins (boson line of nefariousness. After
a few perfectly legal breach-of-promise
nits, due to Aggie’s winsome innocence
f demeanor, had been settled advan-
tagoously 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-
■ome the secret principle in Mary’s
morality.
A g« ntleman possessed of some means,
none too scrupulous himself, but with
high financial aspirations, advertised for
a 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
; » hope for the victory in a game of
cunning against cunning. She consulted
vith the perspicacious Mr. Harris, and
es;> ‘Hally sought from him detailed In
carnation as to partnership law . His
-’at. ments gave her such confidence
that presently she entered into a part-
mu.-hip with the advertiser. By the
terms of their agreement each deposited
thirty thousand dollars to the partner
ship account. This sum of sixty thou-.
in.I dollars was ostensibly to be de
voted to the purchase of a tract of land,
which should afterward be divided into
lets, and resold to the public at enor
mous profit. As a matter of faH, the
advertiser planned 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 <?o 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 wdth clean hands, which
is a prime stipulation of the law
though often honored in the breach.
Hut the advertiser’s haiVls were too
perilously filthy, so he let himself be
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
would make an excellent sacrifice on
the altar of justice—and to her owp
financial profit. The old 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 w'ould run no least risk of destruc-
so vital to her that she said nothing
of her purposes, not even to Aggie, al
though that observant person may have
possessed suspicions more or less near
the truth.

Aggie remarked affably, with that laxity

natural moods.
“I have a very important engagement

quilly. She vouchsafed nothing more
definite as to her intentions.
‘‘Nice boy, ain’t he?” Aggie ventured,
insinuatingly.
