Why, indeed? She had brains enough

carefully within those limits of wrong- ,

She took Joe (Stirson Into her confi-

the outset and not quite pleased To
his view this plan offered merely a
fashion of setting difficulties lu the
way of achievement.
Presently, however, the sincerity and
persistence of the girl won him over.
The lask of convincing him would
have been easier had he himself ever
known the torment of serving a term
in prison. Titus fnr, however, the for

there were as many of books and mag-

Fler mind, long starved like her body,
seized avidly on the nourishment thus
afforded. In this interest Aggie bad
no share—was perhaps a little envi-

pages. Aggie took a vast pride in her

elegance, and she dared to dre.-mi of
great triumphs to < ome, though as
yet she carefully avoided any sugges-

In the end the suggestion came from
Mary Turner herself, to the great sur-

was abandoned. In its stead was an
apartment in the Nineties on Riverside
drive, in which the ladies lived alone
with two maids tn serve them.
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 thing was so
vital to her that she said nothing of
her purposes, not even to Aggie,
though that observant person may
have possessed suspicious more or U-ss

It was some such suspicion that lay
