After the traglo death of Jolui Ames

where sha aeea no man, hut thinks she
Is taught by angels who instruct her for
her mission to reform the world. At the
Htfe ol' IS sha ia suddenly thrust Into the
world where agents of the Interests are
ready to pretend to find her.
The ono to teel the loss of the little
Amesbury girl most, after sh had been
Kplnted awv by t lie Interests. was
Tommy Bnrriiiy.
Kit teen years later Tommy goes to the
Adirondack. The Interests are responsi
ble for the trip. My accident he Is the first
to meet the little Amesbury girl, as she
comes forth from her paradise as Celestla
the gill from beaten. Neither Tommy n.r

finds It an easy matter to rescue tVlestla
from Prof. Stllllter and they hide In
ihc mounts in; Inter they are pursued
hr RUIllter and escape to all island where
thev spend the nleht.
That rmlu, Milliter, fallowing his In
dian guide, rearhes the island, found
1'elestlu and Tommy, but dirt not disturb
thorn In the morning Tommy goes for a
swim'. During Ills absence Stllllter at
tempts to steal Celestla, who runs to
Tommv for help, followed hv Ptllliter.
The latter at om e realizes Tommy's pre
dicament He takes advantage of It by
taking not only Cole'tla's, but Tommy's
ilothes. Stilllter reaches Four Corners
with Celestla lust In time to catch an
nx press for New York, there he plaees
J'lestla in Bellevue hospital, where her
8ntty U proven by the authorities.
Tommy reaches Hellevuo Just before Stll
Mter's departure.
Tommy's first aim was to get Celestla
nwey from StMHler. After they have
Bellevue Tommy in unable to get any
b.itel to tnke Celestla in owing to her
costume. Hut later he persuades his
lathor to kee;i her. When he goes out
to the tlx! be finds her gone. She falls
into the hands of white slavers, but
escapes and soph to live with a poor fam
tlv bv the name of Douulas. When their
son Freddie returns home he finds right
in his own house. Celestla. the girl for
which the underworld has offered a re
ward that he hoped to get.
" SIXTH EPISODE.
I "Why, Celestla." he snld. "I don't deny
that you've some mysterious power over
people, and that if you keep on as you
re going you'll end up by making a
urf.at, loud noise in the world. But sup
iw.se you do get what you want? Sup
pose that even In time you do elect a
congress, a senate and a president; sup
pose you do get the states to amend the
onstltiillon ; suppose you do surceed in
changing the whole country into a gi
gantic trust, what of it? Can't you see
that you will be hurting the people in
stead of. helping them? Can't you see
that the Jneu who run your great trust,
my respected father among them, will
become) th5 "greatest autocrats the world
has ever known? Can't you see that you
would simply: be playing Into the 1 lands
of capital?"
Celestla simply smiled on htm and
shook her head.
'X can convince anybody but you," she
said. "I can't convince you, and I don't
know why."
"That's too easy," . said Tommy. "You
don't convince anybody by logic or argu
ment. They juat naturally . believe you.
You've got some way of 'making them
b iieve . you. I think you're a sort of
witch. I think you are way up in magio.
But you can't hypnotiae me, young lady,
and you know It, and it annoys you. Do
you know why you can't? I do. If there
was any 'part of my heart and soul that
didn't love you faithful and true, you'd
have power over me, Just as you have
over Freddie the Ferret ' and old man
Dougias. But there isn't not the least
smallest fraction of a square inch. You
can't hypnotize the man that truly loves
you any more than you could hypnotize
the man you truly love. That's a well
were from the ground and how dirty, j
He wondered If Celestla had begun to I
speak yet. The building was so .ild nnd
foul looklns that he began to he afriid ;
she would "catch'" something. lie won- ;
dered If the shirts he himself wore were
made In some such sweatshop. Tlv meie I
thought made him Itch.
He looked at his watch ;
"Phe said ten minutes," he thought,
"and stiffs been gono fifteen. She must
come soon now. After that he pn.'nl the
sidewalk no longer, but stood so that he
could watch the stairs up which she hud
vanished.
A couple of young men entered the
building. They passed under a hIbh
which snld, "Positively No Smoking."
And Tommy was annoyd to observe thnt
both were smoking cigarettes. One threw
laide his cigarette atill lighted, the other
kept on smoking, and they passed out or
sight up the stairs.
Tummy entered the building in-l
Mumped -on the cigarette butt till it wns
out: then he returned to the sidewalk,
then he began to fidget and worry.
"Us u. flngrant violation of the rules."
he thought. "It ought to be reported.
Why, this place would ko like a piece of
fat pine. It wouldn't he a burning, it.
would be more like an explosion."
He fidgeted some more, nnd then he
made a sudden resolution.
"I'll report those two cubs to the man
ager," he wild. And if he doesn't seem
properly Interested I'll make things hot
for him."
o Tommy entered the- premises of the
Octagon Shirt company and began tu
look for tho manager. Some people said
he was in sueh and such a place, and
others didn't know. But a girl, who.
seemed to lie dying of consumption, said
that Mr. Orady had just stepped up to
the fifth floor, whero the sewing ma
chines were, with a young laily."
At once Tommy pictured this Orady as
greasy and bediamoned and hated him
Also, so strong was hla imagination he

room Celestla s lovely earnest iace

word was distinctly audible even to the
'arthest pair of ears. It seemed to
Tommy that the room contained hun
dreds of girls and hundreds of sewing
machines. As a matter of fact there
were almost a hundred of each. Near
Celestla stood a dark, stoutlsh man with
a penoll over one ear. "Grady," thought
Tommy, and hated him less, for although
the man was greasy and did wear some
thing that looked like a diamond In his
necktie, there ' was a kind of reverent
expression upon his coarse hard face.
Celestla was Just finishing when Tommy
entered. She finished and there was no
sound whoatever in the room. Then one
girl left her place and went slowly toward
her; others followed until as nianv as
could be were crowded closely about
Celestla and Orndy. They wanted to look
at her close, too. If only for once in
f.ielr poor sordid lives. To some it seemed
that even to touch her hand would be a
happiness to remember always. What had
he done to them? They didn't knew. But
such of them as had been on the verge
of despair 'and these were not a few,
felt hope warming in their hearts. They
must toll on for a while yet. and suffer
and long for light, for ease, for health,
but in time all would be well. She had
said so, and they believed her.

Life is a Punching Bag So Are You
By ADA PATTERSOV.
Get out of your walling corner.
Po you think your grief is overwhelm
ing? lo you think that you are the only
one who staggers under a heavy weight?
Do you fancy that
you are selected by
fate as a special
target for Its hard
est missiles? Do
you think you will
never get over this.
whatever It Is?
That you ran
never; never rise
above It?
Have you ever
seen a man attack
a punching bag?
Stand up and give
It a square knock
right In the middle
and send it bound
ing back against
tho wan, and then swinging ba"k with
lifelike Intent, to take him in the nose?
That bout that caused you first to smile,
then to watch the skirmish with keen in
terest. Is like life. Life Is a punching
bag and so are you. Do you intend to
w 1
".-'"' i
allow the big. bulky, but plastic thing to t
knock you out?
Kvsrv man lives by the toil of his
brains rathnr than of his hands, should
have a punching bag within easy
reaoh of him and liave a lively tilt with
it every day. If you awake sluggish.
Inadequate to the day duties, with a
distaste for life, the punching bog, loom
ing clumsily there, from lis com, win
bo your corrective. Open tlie window
wide. Square yourself before it, and
rinnl it a rruLshlrur blow or two. The
marsh of your stagnant blood becomes a
live, bounding current. Hope rises In
your heart. Interest in life la reborn.
Par success depends upon the outlook
upon life. And the outlook depends upon
mood. And moods may be changed by
five minutes' assiduous attention to a
punching bog.
Don't be afraid of tho punching bug.
Meet it fairly, squarely, In manly fash
ion. Give It blow for blow and get In a
few extra ones. Ho it will become your
instrument and do your bidding. That is
no more true of the punching bag than
it is of life.
Moet life courageously. Hit It back.
Po your part, and you need fear It no
more than you do the big, clumsy bag
hanging there by the cord and waiting
for your attack.
Now and then, If you are off guard,
the huge bulky rubber shape flings back
at you and gives you a vicious whack.
it Incarnadines your nose and sets tho
folk who happen to be watching the
bout to smiling. But you don't hate the
punching bag fur that reason, do you?
You dont retire to a corner a'nd rail at
your "luck." You don't mourn so loudly
and complain ' so bitterly of your luck
that those who hear believe. For it ia
the trait of human nature to finally be
lieve that which we often enough hear.
No, you stand up and give tho swing
ing bag blow that nearly tears It from
Its cord and sets it quivering, and you
repeat tho blow, following It up with
such a rain of them that soon it Is, if
not a thoroughly beaten bag, a deoently
well mannered one.
Take blows and give them. All In an
upstanding, open-eyed, smiling fashion.
That Is life, the only life that is worthy.
Refrangibility of Light
By EDGAR LCIEN LARKIN.
Mot Yet.
"Are you unmarried 7" Inquired the
census man.
oh, dear, no," said the little woman,
blushing: ''I've never even been mar
ried." toadies' Home Journal.
Q. 1. "What causes tha difference In
the refrangibility of light from red to
violet?"
2. "How Is tha fact that our solar sys
tem la traveling toward tha star Vega
with a velocity of twelve miles per sec
ond proved?"
1. "How is the distance between the
planets ascertained?" J. F Cone, Fre
mont, Cal.
A. 1. Differences In wave length of
light In between 0,000 to the Inch for dull
red to 63.000 for faint violet cause the
rays to be bent aside from a straight
line, red to tha greatest distance and vio
let the least.
2. Velocity of the solar system toward
the giant sun Vega was found by that
very remarkable and powerful instru
ment, that transcendent triumph of gen
ius, the modern teleapectrosoope; nnd the
principle Is named after Doppler, Its dis
coverer. Stand by a railway track and
listen to the approach, passing and re
cession of a rapid train. When coming,
the pitch of sound of the bell constantly
increases In pitch, and the note as rap
idly falls at retreat. More waves of
sound enter the ear when the bell la ap
proaching and less per second when re
ceding. Resonators have analysd these
sounds and .every fact Is known.
But Doppler discovered that the spec

waves of tight With approach of light
source one wsy, and toward the other
way on recession. And these variations
have often been measured with a pre
cision greater than that of the kilogram

All of the bright stars have had their,
light thus analysed and then computed
by the world's great mathematicians. j

Tommy was half In earnest, half jok
ing.
"I don't know what you are talking
about." said Celestla, "and It doesn't
n'atter. And now"
"Please don't send me away," said
Tommy. "It s the first time we've been
alone ir, apes, end I've got millions of
things to tell you and millions of other
things to well, to look at you. Celestla
do you know you are more beautifully
d rested like a working girl than you
weir ilreksed as an angel? It's quite
ImposMhle, of course, hut it's absolutely
true. You are the most beautiful thing
in the world, and probably the moet
obstinate. By George, I wish I could
hypnotize you and convert you to my
doctrines."
"Tommy," said Ceiestia, "you talk
n ore nonsense than any one in the world.
1 don't believe you've any brain at all.
Gut If you've really got a million things
to say to me, you'll have to say them
walking I'm going to the shop where
Nelly works to talk with the girls."
"They don't vote," said Tommy.
"They don't hope, even," said Celestla;
"and so I am going to tell them to be of
good heart, for they shan't always be
poor and unhappy."
"Well, it'll be a treat for them to look
st you und hear your voice. And can I
come I"
"You can come as far as the building,
I ut vou can't come in."
"Can I wait till you come out and
fetch you home?"
N'elly worked on the fifth floor of an
oid-fashloned f tret tap belonging to the
octagon Sl-irt Manufacturing company.
1 he business was not making a great
ilea!' of money and the building was
heavily insured. Celestla parted from
Tommy In tha street.
"Won't there be a row," he asked. "If
you interrupt work to make a vueech, or
i an you make yourself heard aliove the
si wing machines and the smell of patch
ouli? Or do you go from girl to girl and
whisper In each one's tar?"
"I have to pay for a chanoe to speak
to them." said Ceiestia, "L0 a minute for
len minutes."
Look here," said Tommy, "where do
you get all your money? '
"From people who think I can use It
better than they can from people who
believe In one. Tommy."
he smiled on him as upon a child, and
he saw -her running-lightly up the first
light of narrow, wooden stairs, until she
was lost In the vjualld darkness of the
place.
Tommy paced the narrow sidewalk like
a sentinel on duty. Now and then he
bioked upward at the If.ng line of fifth
floor windows and thought how luth thev I
