A bright mid-morning down upon the shimmering asphalt of the fashionable avenue, thickly dot- ted with a stream of richly appear- i d had appealed to hundreds of shoppers of the smart set. Mary Burnett leaned back in the cushions of her taxicab, and drew a long breath of luxurious enjoyment as her glance wandered back from the scene before her to the face of her chum, Mona Hartley, by her side “Isn't it just—just heavenly?” she cried. “There is no more beautiful scene in the world to me than Fifth avenue on a spring morning!” fona laughed. Uit is because we happen to have a fairly good purse, my dear! If you didn’t have money in your pocket, I fancy you will find Fifth avenue just the reverse of beautiful!” “You are growing cynicall” retort- ed Mary. “And, just to prove to you that the store windows have no at- traction for me, I'll wait in the motor while you do your shopping, and spend your money to your heart’s desire! How is that?” “But that is just what I'm not go- ing to do,” returned Mona, more thoughtfully. “Do you know, dear, that I'm coming to take our work more and more seriously? At first, I think we were both a bit selfish in our belief that because men had tried to wrong our sex we had a right to make them pay the debt in any way ossible. And then when we saw just ow much we could do, and how easy it was for a woman with youth and a fair share of good looks, to snare the average masculine pursuer, and when we made up our minds to use these weapons for the good of others as well as our own, we both had a new viewpoint. And it was good for us, not to mention the sundry ser- vices we were able to do for those more unfortunate than ourselves. But lately I have thought we could do even more, and go even farther. Why, we can make of ourselves soldiers for the common good! We can be mod- ern Joans of Arc.” Mona stopped, with a bright flush on her cheeks, and quite out of breath from her unusually long and viva- cious speech. Mary surveyed her wonderingly, and then caught her hand. “That is simply splendidl Why, I am proud of you! And, of course, we shall do just as you say. You are making me crazy to start. When are we going to begin, and how?” ona smiled at the other's enthu- m. “We will have to walt for circum- stances to give us the cue, as we have always done. 1 don't think we shall have long to wait.” The girl smoothed back her hair and straightened her hat as the mo- tor came to a whirlwind pause before the sober front of the exclusive Far- nam's outfitting stores—one of those 'l establishments of Fifth avenue which never by any chance dilp]l{ to the curious public anything so vulgar as a price tag behind their massive Elnu ass windows. Mona waved er hand to Mary and, crossing the walk, was ushered by a liveried at- tendant through a richly cugtained entrance. A ry prepared for an indefinite walt and settling herself more com- fortably on the seat resumed her study of the passing throngh on the walk. In the back of her mind were still running the impetuous words of Mona, and the girl's face clouded thoughtfully as she scanned the new possibilities which they opened up. And then quite suddenly she was brought sharply unright and found herself bending forward through the door of the motor, watching a drama on the walk before her. Into the cheery panorama of Fifth avenue a suggestion of incongruous tragedy had thrust itself. As Mary sat waiting outside, a fashionably dressed young man, with a sensual, rather supercilious face, who was ambling idly down the walk, had been brought to a sudden check by a shabby youth of not more than 19 or 20, whose gaunt face bore strik- ing evidence of either great privation or great mental shock. The youth apparently had been trailing the other, perhaps trying to brace his shattered nerves to the point of an interview. Now, with his fingers gripping an arm of the dandy before him, he stood confronting him like some haggard Nemesis, “Please, Mr, Laidlaw, listen to me! I have been following you for an hour! | knew you wouldn't see me at your office, and 1 have simply got to speak to you!" The young man addressed as Laid law struggled angrily, and one of those crowds, which in New York seem to spring up like magic, began 1o surround the pair. Mary found her view for the moment hlocked, but over the heads of the curious onlook ers she could hear the frenzied voice of the shabby youth raised in shrill appeal and then the sound of a violent struggle. Finally an ofiicer, attracted by the fight on the walk, came shoy ing through with a fine disregard of the anatomy of those who blocked his path. The officer pounced upon the igure of the young man ary divined from the sudden movement of the spectators that the policeman had taken the shabhy youth o custedy, and felt a swift wave of pity swerp through her. And then, as the crowd parted, she saw with surprise thut the supercilious young man was hidding the officer 10 release his prisoner. As the officer comphed .ml‘l the young fellow started ofl, Mary ratsed her vaice, as she caught the wandering glance of the Wi saed young wan wha vaused the commetion 1" ahe saked, amiling down at 3 ?h other hesltated, Mushing awk "o 1 can belp Mary FOUr story 10 & stranger’ he youth shullled over 10 the Ahe motor and fumbled at his hat & closar view Mary could see that ] mun WaA WOM to an wenalurel 3 osh and palior and that w hia “Won't you please come here 4 mo. | (HE OMAHA It was a cherrily stimulating scene |eyes was the glint of either fever or | lowing day that Mary, attired in a| desperation, or both | “There—there isn't much to tell,” he began, stammering. “It is just an- |other case of the loan sharks!” Dick sun splashed | Laidlaw—he was the man I tried to|after some ceremony. |talk to—and his father have what | ;(hr\' call the People's Loan Agency. | And—and when my mother died, just |after 1 lost my job, and I had her fu g vehicles.

He did agree to leave | his address with Mary and she prom- ised to help him, Then Mary and Mona started out to lead the Laidlaws into their trap, In | the case of both father and son, there was no wife to present an obstacle Mary Laidlaw, who had been the mother of the hopeful Dick, had died man ears before, and since her l‘ln(f‘l’. ’a(hu and son had maintained their own type of bachelors’ cham- bers, Armed with this information, the irls next proceeded to ascertain the avorite restaurants of the younger Laidlaw, and as they expected, they proved to be of that flashy Broadway | type frequented by men about town, | and the young ladies of the chorus, In | one gilded food emporium they finally | located him, The girls watched him | covertly take a seat at a corner table, | from which he could command a view | of the diners, without, himself, being | too much in the limelight. Mary pushed back her chair and rose hur- riedly to her feet, She put her hands to her lips as | Mona looked up in surprise. “It is | better at present that he should not | see us together. I am going to rely on your ingenuity to make the ac- quaintance of Mr. Laidlaw before he leaves the restaurant! You will find | me at the apartment when you get back!” And before the other could voice a protest, she was gone, For a few mometns Mona sat idly drumming on the edge of her table, and toying with her food. The prob- lem, which her chum had set her, was not an easy one, to say the least. But it suddenly occurred to Mona to try the old lost money game, and as ex- | Eecud the scene with the waiter soon rought Dick Laidlaw to the rescue, “Let me pay the bill. It wijll be a| pleasure!” said Laidlaw. “The girl hesitated, then surren- dered reluctantly, “On one condition. You must go home with me so that I can pay you back at once.” He bowed. “As you wish”” He drew out a bill, and handed it care- lessly to the waiter, who reappeared | as by magic at his motion, With the | girl at side, Laidlaw passed out of the restaurant, pausing in the en- trance to call a taxicab. Mona took a seat in a kind of constrained silence while Laidlaw strove desperately to maintain a conversation, which she prevented skilfully. As'Mona was helped from the taxi by young Laidlaw, she gave him a lrnncr, which to him might have spelled victory, but which in reality was but a forced smile, and Mona saw that the first act in her little de- ception had been successful y an arrangement with the super- intendent of the apartment house, Mona and Mary had secretly installed a “buzzer” under the runnbr of the stairway, so that should either re- turn suddenly with a stranger the | fact could be announced, thus giving | the girl in the room sufficient time to_retire, Hardly anticipating that Mona had been so successful in netting her vic- tim, Mar{ slipped into the boudoir just as Mona turned the key in the lock. | Young Laidlaw at first refused to | accept the money, but Mona, with a| | charming smile, insisted so strongly | that he was obliged at last to ac- cept it, | “May I call again?” asked Laidlaw, | as he left, “Suit yourself,” Mona's voice was | still icy. | “Tomorrow?” asked Laidlaw eag- erly. “Yes,” said Mona hesitatingly The girl closed the door. For a | moment she stood listening, and then | as she heard the man turn, and slowly make his way down the hall toward the stairs, she flew back into the liv ing room and into the arms of Mary, who was smothering a yawn in the doorway of their bedroom | “And now what of the next step in our campaign?” asked Mary, as she curled hersell on the couch, with her feet huddled up under the lacy robe | side of her negligee We have only one of our victims biting, remember What of the father That is up to you" said Mona, serenely You have left the hard est part to me Latdlaw, sr, must be your task ~ As it developed, it wis not only during the next day, but a succession of days, that Mona's talents as ac tress were called into play in the fencing bouts with Dick Laidlaw.

She flashed a bewitching glance at him from her “Surely you can have no embarass- | ment in speaking to me, Misg—, Peter Laidlaw glanced at the card i his hand, and finished with a little bow, “Miss Davenport, 1 assure you that you can speak with the utmost frankness and confidence to me on | any subject.” “Thank you,” said Mary. She hesi- tated again, fumbling with her hand- kerchief. “The fact of the matter is,| Mr. Laidlaw,” she continued nervous- | ly, “I have come to you about your son and my sister,” My son?" Mr. Laidlaw frowned, “And what has the youngster been up to now?” “Oh, he isn't to blame, not in the least!” said Mary quickly. “I—I am afraid the fault is with my sister, You see, he is infatuated with her, and wants to marry her, and—and she isn't the kind ot a girl that ought to marry your son and heir, Mr. Laid- law!” The girl's head sank and she burst into tears, “Please don’t think harshly of me or this confession, If you only knew low | have pleaded with my sister to mend her ways, I know that you would sympathize with me! She is an adventuress, a fortune hunter and is marrying your son for his money.

And she is beautify ——mut'[‘; more so than I am, | am the plain one of the family,” “I don't believe it!” said the elder Mr. Laidlaw emphatically. “If your sister is superior to you in looks, my dear young friend, she, she—" “You are just saying that to get my mind off my troubles!” chided | Mary. “But vou must take me seri-| shall both be sorry. You see, I had to leave my sister some time ago. We were living together, but when I saw that she was persisting in the habits I was warning her against, and that my pleadings were of no avail, I had to part with her, hoping against hope that the fact might help me to m:Ee her see the error of her ways, and in- duce her to repent and reform. But, so0 far, she has paid absolutely no at- tention to my urgings, and although we occupy apartments in the same building, we see little of each other, I wish it might be different. I would give half my life to make it other- wise, but 1 have done all that I could do, and—and now--" Peter Laidlaw rose from his chair just in time to catch the girl's hys- terically shaken form, as she gave herself ur to, a flood of racking tears, He soothed” her with petting and promised to call on her next day, be- stowing an admiring glance on her as she left, Peter Laidlaw, quite evidently, was | a man of direct methods, It was not yet 11 o'clock of the next morning | when, watching from the sitting room window of the apartmest, now given over exclusively to the occupancy of Mona, Mary saw the limousine of the elder Laidlaw draw up at the curb. Mona let the bell ring for a full min- ute before she answered. There were two reasons for her delay. The first, of course, was the quite natural wish to keep Laidlaw fuming below, The second was the need of time to com plete a striking change of costume Laidlaw paused stock still in the | doorway of Mona's sitting room, and | caught his breath quickly at the vis ion lounging on a window seat be-| fore him. Mona turned her head list lessly. { “Come in,"” she sald indifferently. | “Are—are you Miss—er Daven-| port?” stammered Laidlaw. | “Righto!” agreed the girl. “And what can I do for you?” “I believe that you are the young woman to whom my foolish son has been paying some slight attentions.” 1is voice was cold and cutting, “We will get to business at once. What do you want?"” “I don't get you!" Mona deliber ately extended her feet so as to ex pose another inch of her silken ankles. “If you are Peter Laidlaw you must be Dick's governor. He has spoken to you about me. Since you are to be my father-in-law, you can come over and kiss*me!" Laidlaw glared “Kiss you!" he snapped. “You vix en. You are just the type of woman that a foolish, headstrong boy would make a fool of himself over And now, let us understand one another What is your price? How much do you want to let my son go?"

Peter Laid- | law tried to renew the embrace, but something in her attitude warned him not to attempt it again The next day he called again, at-| tired as before in extreme' fashion, | and this time offered a large bouquet | of orchids in the hope that the gift would help his young friend to forget her troubles. She accepted it with a gratitude that amply repaid the do- nor, and permitted the interview to approach a degree intimate enough for her to smooth the elder Laidlaw's grizzled hair, and straighten his pur- le necktie.
