"How mm h?" he asked, baldly.
Mary smiled an inscrutable smile.
"Oh. I don’t need money." she said,
carelessly. "Inspector Burke will tell

dawning respect: then his shrewdness
suggested a r* tort.
Mary Laughed.
"Do you want rnv son to learn what
you are?’* he said
.Maty laughed. There was some
thing dr< adfui in that burst of spu
rious amusement.
"Why not?" she answered. "I’m

Then Gilder showed the true heart
of him, in which jove for hi- boy was
before all else. fie found himself
wholly at a loss before the woman’s
inexpertcd reply.
"But I don't want him to know." he
stammered. "Why, I’ve spared the
hoy all iiis life If he really loves you
_it will "
At that moment the son himself en
tered hurriedly from the hallway. In
his eagtrnesH he saw no' one save the

The young man. with his wholesome
fare alight with tendernuss, went
swiftly to her. while the other three
men stood silent, motionless abashed
by the event. And Dick took Mary’s
hand in a warm eiasp, pressing it ten
derly.
"I didn't sec father,’’ h£ said, hap

Then, somdhow. the surcharged at
mosphere penetrated his conscious

father standing grimly opposite him.
But there was no change in his ex
pression beyond a more radiant smile.
"Hello, dad!" he cried, joyously.
"Then you got my note?" *
The voice of the older man came
with a sinister force and saturnine.

A Pawn in the Game.
"What art they doing here?" he de
manded suspiciously; staring at the
two. .
"Oh, never mind them." Mary said.
There was a malevolent gleam in her
violet eyes. This was the recompense
of which she hi l dreamed through

simple pride, '
"Dad, we re married. Mary and I
were married this morning."
Always. Mary stared with her eyes
steadfast on the father. There was
triumph in her gaze. This was the
vengeance for which she had longed,
for which she had plotted, the ven
geance she had at last achieved. He • •
was her fruition, the period of her su

Gilder himself seemed dazed by the
brief sentence.
"Say that again." he commanded.

CHAPTER V,
IT yT^KN -Jennie got home that
W n '8dit she told her boarding
house keeper she was going
cut the next day -being Sunday—
with Tom. They wore going into the
country and have dinner at some lit
tle inn that Tom knew about. So the
next morning she hurried out n
where »iio was to meet THE MAN.
He was waiting for her with a big
touring ear and a chauffeur to drive
it. And Jennie, In her plain lltll ■
white dress, couldn’t help but look in
wide-eyed wonder at such luxury and
grandeur, and could hardly realize
that she was going to ride In it all day
long.
THK MAN helped her in. and v is
very careful to arrange the robes
"lust so." and explained to her .t
Would never do for his little "pal" to
get echllled.
( ' Golly! Thought .Jennie., this is
ev* n hotter than the taxicab- and the
cushions' w ere so soft and "comfy.”
And so they rolled on and on, until
early ift rtp>on, when they came to
the quaintest looking little hotel that
nestled in the trees by the side of the
rond. And THK MAN said they were
going to have the daintiest luncheon
that Jennie ever tasted. The landlord
bowed and smiled, and seemed very
happy to set; THE MAN, and ushered
them into a private room, where the
table was all set s if waiting for
them. And everything had an air of
being prearranged. But .!■ nnie was
wo happy she didn’t notice it. or th
side glances of understanding between
the landlord and THE MAN -as if he
had beam them many times before.
THK MAN ordered cocktails, and it
tasted so warm and nice to Jennie
that she didn’t say no, when THK
MAN asked her to have another one
before they a to their luncheon. Afi.r
the second one. .Jennie f. It so happv
she wanted to sing and laugh both .it
