CHAPTER V.
Keeping Within the Law.
MARY'S heart leaped at the pos
sibility back of those three
words, "within the law." She
might do anything, seek any
revenge, work any evil, enjoy any mas
tery as long as she should keep with
in the law. There could be no pun
ishment then. That was the lesson
taught by the captain in high finance.
He was at pains always In his stupen
dous robberies to keep within the law.
To that end he employed lawyers of
mighty cunning and learning to guide
his steps aright in such tortuous paths.
There, then, was the secret. Why
ehould she not use the like means?
Why, indeed? She had brains enough
to devise, surely. Ileyond that she
needed only to keep her course most
carefully within those limits of wrong
doing permitted by the statutes. The
sole requirement would be a lawyer
equally unscrupulous and astute.
She took Joe Garson into her con3
dence. He was vastly astonished 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 for-,
ger ' had ' always escaped the penalty
for bin crimes, though often close to
conviction. Cut Mary's arguments were
of a compelling sort as she set them
forth in detail, and Garson agreed that
the experiment should be made.
An agreement was made by which
Joe Garson and certain of his more
trusted intimates in the underworld
were to put themselves under the or
ders 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 constituted, but she figured little
A few tentative ventures resulted In i
profits so large that the company grew
mightily enthusiastic over the novel
manner of working. In each instance
Harris was consulted and made his
confidential statement as to the legali
ty of the thing proposed. After a few
perfectly Iegnl breach of promise suits,
due to Aggie's winsome innocence of
Ctn.anor, 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. It
was planued as the swindling of a
swindler, which, in fact, had now be
come the secret principle la Mary's
morality.
A gentleman possessed of some
means, none too scrupulous himself,
but with high financial aspirations, ad
vertised for a partner to invest capital
In a business sure to bring large re
turns. This advertisement caught the
eye of Mary Turner, and she answered
it. An introductory correspondence
encouraged her to hope for the victory
In a game of cunning against cunning.
She consulted with Harris and espe
cially sought from him detailed iufor
matlon 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 depos
ited $30,000 to the partnership account
This sum of $00,000 was ostensibly
to be devoted to the purchase of a
tract of land, which should afterward
be divided into lots and resold to the
publie at enormous profit. As a mat
ter of fact, the advertiser planned to
make a spurious purchase of the tract
in question by means of forged deeds
granted by an accomplice, thus mak
ing through fraud a neat profit of $C0,
000. No sooner was the $'50,000 on deposit
in the bank than Mary Turner drew
out the whole amount, as she had a
perfect right to do legally. When the
advertiser learned of this he was. nat
urally enough, full to overflowing with
wrath. But after an interview with

neither Mary nor the forger had much
respect for the intellectual capabilities
of the adventuress, though they appre
ciated to the full her remarkable pow
ers of inOuencing men to her will.
It was not difficult to find a lawyer
suited to the necessities of the under
taking. Mary selected Sigismund Har
ris, an attorney, Jrst in the prime of
.his mental vigors, who possessed a
knowledge of the law only to be equal
ed by his disrespect for it.
Forthwith the scheme was set in op
eration. As a first step Mary Turner

became a young lady of Independent
fortune, who had living with her a
cousin. Miss Agnes Lynch. The flat
was abandoned. In its stead was an
apartment In the Nineties on Iliverside
drive, iu which the ladies lived alone
with two maids to serve them.
Garson had rooms in the neighbor
hood, but Jlni Lynch, who persistently
refused the coMditions of such an alli
ance, 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, . . .
into court with clean hands, which Is
a prime stipulation of the law, though
often honored in the breach. So he
let himself bo mulcted In raging si
lence. The event established Mary as the
arbiter In her own coterie. She next
decided that a certain General Hast
ings would make an excellent sacrifice
on the altar of justice and to her own
miiijn jirouu loe oiu man was a
notorious roue, of most unsavory rep
utation 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 dam
sel, she would run no least risk of de
duction by the satyr.
General Hastings met Aggie iu the
most casual way. He was captivated
by her freshness and beauty, her de
mureness, her ignorance of all things
vicious. Straightway he set snares.
He showered every gallant attention
on the naive, bread and butter miss
and succeeded gratifyingly 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 strict
est propriety. His ardor cooled sud
denly when Harris served a summons
in a suit for $10,000 damages for
breach of promise.
Even while this affair was still in
the course of execution Mary found her
self engaged In a direction that offered
at least the hope of attaining her great
desire revenge against Edward Gil
der. This opportunity came in the
person of hi3 son. Dick. After much
contriving, she got an introduction to
that young man. Forthwith she show
ed herself so deliciously womanly, so
intelligent, so daintily feminine. o
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 instru
ment of vengeance for which she had
so longed. Yet this one;thingj was "so
vital to her that she said nothing of
her purposes, not even to Aggie,
though that observant person may
have possessed suspicions more or less
near the truth.
It was some such suspicion that lay
behind her speech as, in negligee, she
sat.amoklng a cigarette, while watchr
Ing Mary, who was adjusting her hat
before the mirror of her dressing table
one pleasant spring morning.
"Dollin' up a whole lot. ain't you?"
Aggie remarked affably, with that lax
ity of language which characterized
her natural moods.
"I have a very Important engage
ment with Dick Gilder," Mary replied
tranquilly.
"Nice boy, ain't he?" Aggie ventur
ed Insinuatingly.
" "Oh. I suppose so." came the indif
ferent answer from Mary as she tilted
the picture hat to an angle a trifle
more jaunty.
"I don't get you. Mnry. You never
used to look at th men. The way yoa
acted when you first run round with
me, I thought you sure was a suf
fragette. And then you met this
roung Gilder and good night, nurse!"
"Well?"
"His old man sends you np 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 cigar
ette smoke as she gave a gasp when
suspicion of the truth suddenly dawn
ed on her slow intelligence.
"Hully gee!" 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 yonng Gilder and me I to be
strictly my own affair. It has abso
lutely nothing to do with the rest of
you or with our schemes for money
making. And. what is more. Agnes, I
want to know what you meant by
talking in the public street yesterday
with a common pickpocket."
Aggie's childlike face changed swift
ly Its expression from a sly eagerness
to sullenness.
"You know perfectly well. Mary Tur

"But you must not be seen speaking
with him," Mary directed, with a cer
tain air of command now become ha
bitual to her among the members of
her clique. "My cousin. Miss Agnes
Lynch, must be very careful as to her
associates."
"He just stopped me to say it's been
the best year he ever had," she ex
plained, with ostentatious vanity.
"now can that be when the dead

"The dead line!" Aggie scoffed.
"Why, Jim takes lunch every day In

"No, you are not. You are under my

"But I can't see" Aggie began to
argue with the petulance of a spoiled

"When you were working alone did
you have a home like this?"
"No."
"Or such clothes? Most of all. did

Again there was triumph in the of
ficer's chuckle. He went on speaking
with obvious enjoyment of the extent
to which his knowledge reached.
"And the head of the gang is Mary
Turner. Arrested four years ago for
robbing the Emporium. Did her stretch
of three years."
"Is that all you've got about her?"
Garson demanded with such abrupt
ness that Cassidy forgot his dignity
sufficiently to answer with an unquali
fied yes.
"Nothing in your record of her about
her coming out without a friend In

"Sure, they was tipped off. We got
