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 far the epitome of injustice. Yet »he 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 Gilder. Now, In the paragraph she had just read she found a clue to suggestive thought, a hint as to t means by which sin* might satisfy her rancor against the law -that had outraged her- and thus in safety since she would attempt nought save that within thi law. shriek of apprehension. “I’m | treble ! wise!” “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 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 utterar^pg, and a family pride as- Up-to-Date Jokes "So you think you would make a sat isfactory valet for an old human wreck like myself, do you?" said the old sol dier to the applicant for the position of body servant.

They were newly wed. and were show ing their friends over their tiny apart ments. Each room in turn was inspect - ed. Last on the list came the kitchen. Tfie little wife waxed eloquent. ‘‘You see," she said, "that is where 1 do all my cooking. And this is the very basin in which I mix my cakes." “And this." cried the young man, in dicating the oven with a sweep of his arm, “is the brick kiln!” • "It's Dick!” The cry came as a wai lof despair from the girl. only to keep her course most care fully within those limits of wrong doing permitted by the statute*. For that, the sole requirement would be of wrong-doing permitted by the statutes. At once, Maty’s mind was made up. After all, the thing w absurdly simple. It was merely matter for ingenuity and for pruden e in alliance. . Moreover, there would come eventually some Adequate device against her arch-enemy, Ed ward Gilder. 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 the penalty for his crimes, though often close to conviction. Brit Mary’s argu ments were of a compelling sort a she set them forth in detail, and they made their appeal to Garson, who vv.'s by no means lacking in a shrewd nat've intel ligence. He agreed that the experiment should !*• marie, 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 whom tie had saved from death, who now appeared before 1ilm as a radiantly beautiful young woman, was more per suasive than the excellent ideas which she presented so emphatically, arid with a logic so Impressive. Might Do Anything. Mary’s heart leaped at tlie possibil ity hack of those three words, "within the law." She might do anythin,;, seek my revenge, work any evil, en joy, enjoy and mastery, as long as she should keep within the law.Ther* could be no punishment then. That was the lesson taught by the captain in high finance. He was at pains al ways in his 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 she not use the like means? Why, in deed? She had brains enough to de vise. surely. Beyond that, site ncede 1 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. Important,. Engagement. I serted itself I “He just stopped me to say it’s been the best year he ever hads" 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, .Hm takes lunch every day in the Wall Street DeJmonico’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 It was some such suspicion that lay ! life.

She vouchsafed nothing more 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 tilted the picture hat to an angle 3. trifle more jaunty. The pseudo cousin sniffed. “You s’pose that, do you? Well, any how'. he’s here so much we ought to be chargin’ him for his meal ticket.
