A knock at the door Interrupted
their conversation. In a flash Goldie
hid her knitting under the mattress.

ance, but each face there seemed to
gloat at her misery.
"The question is," interrupted her
torturer, "did yon Intend to marry
hlmr
"Yes," said the girl in a small,
faraway voice.
"Did ne ever tell you he was
wanted for killing a cashier and loot
ing a Federal Bank!" .
"No."
"Where did yon think he got his
money?"
"I don't know. . . ."
"You planned to marry him yet
It never occurred to yon to ask
him?" The District Attorney's tone
was sarcastic. The crowd Uttered.
"But . . I . . . I . . ." Mary twisted
her handkerchief into a knot
"Answer the question yes or
no!"
'Yes," she replied bitterly.
"At the time ot your arrest, you
admit that Wilson was burning ne
gotiable bonds in your kitchen. Yet
you stated you didn't know those
bonds were stolen? If so, then why
did you think he was burning them?
WasnH it because you KNEW they
were stolen?"
"No . . . I . . ."
"You didn't know the bonds were
stolen yet you sat there and let
them burn," the District Attorney
pounded the point home. "Did you
try to extinguish the flames?"
"No-o-o."
"Then you did know they were
stolen! And you did know that you
were helping a criminal to destroy
evidence! "
"Why ...I...I..."
"Can you deny that you were aid
ing a criminal to destroy evidence?"
the prosecutor rushed on, giving the
anguished girl no chance to collect
her thoughts. "Is It not true that
your sweetheart used the protection
into the courtroom, this time to hear
the Judge pronounce sentence.
"This Is not merely an Indictment
against an Individual but against
a system. The time has come when
we must look npon all persons who
designedly or otherwise, help thfi
criminal ... as enemies to society."
The Justice paused dramatically and
looked down over his glasses at the
trembling girl who stood before him.
"Mary Burns," he continued at
last, "you hare been found guilty of
aiding, abetting and harboring a
criminal and ot you aa example
must be made once and for all. For
you are as much a criminal as the
criminal himself with gun in hand
and murder la his heart This court,
having found you guilty, prescribes
the maximum penalty provided by
law. Mary Burns, I sentence you to
the Penitentiary tor a term of FIF

"Fifteen years!" Mary leaped for

pressing against her throat as it to
repress a scream. "Fifteen years!

her cot and wiped the perspiration
from her face with one grimy paw.
"The end of another nerfect davl"
answered Mary as she tugged at her
shapeless shoes. "I washed ten thou
sand dishes and loved it"
"In a pig's eye," Jeered Goldie.
"The heat in that kitchen would
cook a Chinaman." As she spoke she
turned up the mattress.' reached Into
a hole she had cut in it and brought
lortn a ball of heavy string. Two
make-shift wooden needles were
stuck In it Quite a bit of stuff al
ready had been knitted but she kept
it so tightly rolled that it waa lm-
possiDie to see wnat sort of garment

Prison Parole Board, has taken per

Burns. HeU be here on Monday to
talk to you."
But the interview proved of little
value for Mary.
1 can practically promise you a
parole In return for certain infor
mation," said "Mr. Cameron," whose
real name was Harper and who was
a special agent of the Department of
Justice instead ot the parole board.
"Til tell you anything I can," the
girl answered quietly.
"Good! We want to know where
Wilson hides out who his friends
are all about him."
"But I don't know. Honest I'm
telling the truth," cried Mary, "I
don't know! If I did I'd teU you."
"Mary Burns," said Harper coldly.
"You're lying." Then for half an
hour he begged, bribed and threat
ened, all to no avail. Mary could not
tell him what she did not know. To
her, Don Wilson had been known
only as an ex-football star who was
in the oil business.
"Why do you sacrifice your free
dom to protect this murderer,"
pleaded Harper at last "He's not
worth such love."
"I don't love him! I hate him."
Mary leaped to her feet her fists
tense. "I've hated him ever since
that night I saw him kill a man . . .
Can't you see I'm Innocent? Can't
you see a girl like me couldn't love
a murderer. Won't you believe me?"
Reading stark disbelief in their
eyes, she allowed herself to be led
away. When she was gone Harper
said to the Matron:
"That girl Is either the cleverest,
shrewdest and hardest criminal I've
ever encountered or what she says
Is true, rm the Special Agent of this ,
ease and it's my duty to find out . . .
one way or another." ..
