If the very proper young lady at tho switchboard below bad had any Idea of who those persons were she was get tldg on the wire for the kindly old uncle of the tick girl above, that proper young lady would have been seized w lth shivers and would hao had matter for amazed conversation for months to come. "It's all fixed as far as I can lis It," said Uncle George, turning from the telephone. "Tour father will meet us down in front of the Tombs. I guess wc'd better be beating it." . And then another thing TUileh she kid long forgotten flashed upon Jennie. nValt a minute 1 There's Casey 1" "Ca'cy? You mean Officer Casey? How does Casey figure in this?" "Long ago, he caught me, and he let me off, but he made mo promise that if anything ever went wrong with me, I was to let him have the arrest." Briefly she told Uncle George the cir cumstances. "Casey is still a Central Office man," aid Uncle George, "and is likely to be hanging around headquarters at this hour. You might try for hira there." Jennie did, and presently, in the crisp, polite tone which an improved police administration had established as the manner for answering u tele phone call, she hearda heaty voice in hefear: "Officer Casey speaking." "Jlr. Casey, jou may not recognize my voice. But you want very much to so me. Please be waiting for me in front of the Tombs in fifteen minutes." She hung up, and presently, veiled, the was down in tho closed car, the "safe" Jark at the wheel. Her imag ination worked feverishly as she sped back to the region which had given her her being; it pictured sensational scenes in which sh dramatized herself scenes that might have heen. In her mind she (aw herself, as the solemn-voiced judge was pronouncing, "Harry Ed wards, I sentence you to " rising in the startled court-room, dramatically throwing aside her veil, nnd calling out, "Harry Edwards is an innocent man, nud I am here to prove it!". She thought of other such big moments, tuch tremendous climaxes, as there had always been in the old plays of the Bowery, and as still appeared in some of the great successes of Broadway. But then. such big scenes were not to hi hers. What she was doing she was doing in a very commonplace way extremely undramatic as a discredited woman, who is also a fugitive, can only do them. ' As the car drew up beside tho Tombs, ehe saw on the sidewalk Casey and her father. Uncle George pressed her back Into her seat and stepped out first. "You're not to make any scene, Jerry not now, anyhow," said Uncle Gem-Re. "Get me?" ' Black Jerry nodded, his dark face lined and set. "And, Casey, she's your prisoner nil right she's given herself up to you but don't make the actual pinch for a few minutes. You can string along behind us you and Jerry." Uncle George then helped her out el the carriage. Black Jerry looked at her, showed no signs of recognition, and clanced away. But Offiuer Casey1, as the passed him, said in a low voice : "I'm awfully sorry things broke this Mar, Jennie awfully sorry," She entered the Tombs on Uncle George's arm, her father and Casey behind them. For u moment she stood alone, watching the herd of silent, etrained-faced visitors waiting to tec prisoners, and" 'watching the brusque, domineering keepers and she thought of the time when she had been here on her furtive visit to Harry : only now what a difference! After a few min utes she would be one of those in the blocks of cells whom people would seek parses to see. But this sceno was brief. In n min ute, Black Jerry nnd Casey still be hind her, she was being guided through a dark corridor, heavy with the damp odor of tens of thousands of prisoners who had come and gone, and at length she was ushered with her little party into that same bare counsel's room where she had before seen Harry, and the grilled doors clanged behind her. And there again, as on that other occasion, stood Harry Edwards. She lifted her veil, moved toward him then from sheer weakness could go no far ther. As he recognized her, his wasted face sagged with amazement. "Jennie!" he cried. "Jennie Ma lone' My God I thought you'd made your get-away!" Her oice could not function for a moment, but her eyes did. She took m every detail of him, teeing behind his momentary amazement. He was worn and thin and haggard, and, de spite his only being in his raid-twenty, there were h few gray hairs for Harry Edwards had lived long with the Inowledge of what was to be his fate. And yet he was erect and palely de fiant. "Jennie," ho repeated. "I thought Sou d made your get-away ! My God what are you doing here?" "I'e given myself up," sho whis pered. "Given yourself up ! What for?" "She could have made her get-away," Uncle George put in from the back ground. "Everything wus all ready there wouldn't have been u slip." "But, Jennie what for?" repeated Harry, "I just just learned today," her jnin voice answered, "what was about w happen to you and and, Harry, I couldn't let that happen to you." ' iou mean jou've given yourself up to tavo me?" "'lie did not answer. , "I won't have it!" ho cried fiercely. 1 won t have you do that ,for me. -lOr GOfTK Kfll-n" Irk 1,A nllia rrnf her out of this eomehow quick 1" . i,,11'8 lo late," returned Jennie, a ilv8 mnro bdy coming into her tone. m already Officer Casey's prisoner."

The little party was shot up a few floors in an elevator, and after a minute she was in a comfortably furnished office, on a leather-covered couch, with her father's arm about her, talking to a tired-looking man introduced to her as the dis trict attorney. (CONTINUED TOMORROW) "Cinderella's Daughter" By HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR Copyright, 1910, by Puhlio Ledger Co. SYNOPSIS Virginia West is married right out of boat ding school to Jimmy Ander son, aipoor man. At school sho has made friends with Kathleen roster, a girl with totally different ideas of life. Kathleen tries to persuade Vir ginia not to do anything foolish, and she herself breaks her engagement to Bill Lyons, Jimmy's best friend, be cause Bill has no money. Virginia learns what it is to be poor, and she learns self-control and tolerdnce. Jimmy is taken ill and dies before tho baby is born and Bill, who in the meantime has been left a legacy and is doing well, comes back into the lives of both girls. Virginia, at school, has shown a talent for acting and deter mined not to live with Jimmy's people, she goes to New York and gets a chance with a small part in one of the season's new plays. Kathleen, who did not worry about Virginia when she is poor, begins to be some what fearful of Bill. She is deter mined to get him back and to safe guard herself, telU Virginia that she is engaged to Bill a second time. Then Virginia hears that her baby is ill, and she rushes off in the night to tho Andersons, who have kept the baby during her short sojourn on the stage, "QHE'S in there." And then as Vir " ginia rushed into the bedroom Mrs. Anderson followed adding quickly, "But she's much better. You shouldn't have rushed off in this precipitate way, Vir ginia. The idea ! Did jou walk up from the station in that get-up at this time of night?" Virginia was kneeling beside the small bed, her arni3 flung around the tiny figure that lay there. She was thanking God in a passion of gratitude for Eparing her Barbara, and sho real- lied as she never had before how much she loved the baby. Girl-like she had wanted to get away to the citv to en counter adventures, and in order to do that she had been quite willing to leave her baby. It anything had happened she conld never have forgiven herself, and she bent above the tiny dark face, so like her own, in yearning tenderness. "Virginia, you're going to ruin that suit u you don t get up." Mrs. Ander son's crisp tones reached Virginia ut last and made her smile. Jimmy's mother! would always worry about the things ! that didn't matter, but somehow that ' fact did not bother the girl as it once had. She felt more tolerant of the faults of every one, and she knew that she owed a lasting debt to her mother-in-law for taking care of Barbara. In the first spontaneous show of affection that she had ever felt, Virginia rose to her feet and went un to Mrs. Anderson; She put her arms tenderly around tire figure in the big bathrobe and let her tired head fall on the broad motherly shoulder. "Oh, Mother," she said softly, "I can never thank you, never!" Mrs. Andarson patted Virginia sooth ingly. "There, there, you're nothing but a baby yourself, I declare. You come with me and let me get you into bed. You musu't break down." Virginia followed her mother-in-law to her own old room, the room that had been hers when she had first come to Crystal River and that she had always hated. Tonight, somehow it seemed comfortable, homy, altogether different. There Virginia got out of her btieet clothes and into a velvet dressing gown, an extravagance of her earlier days be fore she had been married. With her dark hair standing out around her small head and the boft dull gold of the robe, she was' arresting. Even Mrs. Ander son felt her charm. She insisted upon sleeping in the babv's room and Mrs. Anderson, who had been up two nights with Barbara, finally consented and went to her own room to get some rest. Virginia curled up on the bed close be side her baby and dozed and woke. Once she leaned over to listen to the faint even breathing that.came so regularly and she sank bock on her pillow with a heart overflowing with gladness. Noth ing mattered now, she thought vaguely. As long as she had Barbara she wanted nothing else. Sho wondered of! and on through that long white night about life. Just suppose she hadn't been given Barbara; just suppose sho hadn't real ized in time that it was not right for the baby to b& shifted off on Mrs. Ander son. And Then with u great sigh of re lief and a clutching of the bedclothes she would sink into slumber again. She woke at dawn to find Mrs. An derson stauding by the bed with u tray on which were bteaming coffee und some buttered toast. Virginia sat up with sleep-filled eyes, and then sturted as Bhe looked for the baby and found her gono. Mrs. Anderson smiled nt her terrified 46okv "I took tho baby into my room. She's much better." And she looked almost tenderly at the girl, almost as if Vir ginia wero a child herself, ASCO. ASCO.
