age of 1H she is suddenly thrust Into the
wona where agents of the interests are
ready to pretend to find her.
The one to feel the loss of the little

Fifteen years later Tommy goes to the

Celestla recosrntses each other. Tommy
finds it an easy matter to rescue Celestla

by StUllter and escape to an Island where
they spend the night.
That night. Ftllllter. following his In
dian guide, reaches the island, found
Celestla and Tommy, but did not disturb
them. In the morning' Tommy goes for a
swim. During his absence StUllter at
tempts to steal Celestla. who runs to
Tommy for help, followed by StlUiter.
The latter at once realises Tommy's pre
dicament. He takes advantage of It by
taking not only Celestla's, but Tommy's
clothes. StUllter reaches Pour Comers
with Celestla lust in time to catch as
express for New .York, there he places
Celestla In- Bellevua hospital, where her
sanity Is proven 1 by the authorities.
Tommy reaches Bellevue Just before Stll-llter-s
departure. ; '',.
Tommy's first aim was to get Celtstla
away from BUlllter.. After they leave
Bellevue Tommy Is unable to get any
hotel to take Celestla in owing to her
costume. But later he- persuades his
father to keep her.. When he roes out
to the taxi, he finds her gone. She alls

Celestla secures work in a large gar
ment factory, where a great iiany girls
are employed.' Here she shows her pe
culiar power, and makes friends with all
her girl companions. By her talks to the
girls she Is able to calm a threatened
strike, and the "boss" overhearing her Is
tnoved to grant the relief the girls wished,
and also to right a great wrong he had
done one of them. Just at this point the
factory catches on fire, and the work
room Is soon a biasing furnace. Celestla
refuses to escape with the other girls,
end Tommy Barclay rushes in and car
ries her out, wrapped in a big roll of
cloth.
After rescuing Celestla from the fire,
Tommy is sought by HanKer Barclay,
who undertakes to persuade him to wive
up the girl. Tommy refuses, snd, Celesilu
wants him to wed her dirt'Uv. He rsn
not do this, ss he has no f Jnrtc Htllllter

to send Celestla to the rolli-irii-s.
EIGHTH EPISODK. .
Workers of the World. And then I am
to have lunch with the bishop of - New
York. And then, my dear, I'm going to
leave you for a while. . I'm to go out to
Pennsylvania where there is a terrible
strike, and nobody wlthh'llBten to any
body. But. I'll be back before you
know it." . . ,
S.ie kissed Mr. Douglas . and hurried
out. ' Celestla. was almost always in.-:
Nellie was watting for her in the hall,.
"Are you really going ' to ' Bftumen
Celestla?" .
"Yes. Really."
"I thourh you might like to know that
Mr. Barclay Is already there."
During his search for work Tommy
Barclay returned once to the house where
ho had lived o long In ruch luxury
to get together a few of hie personal be
longings. But no more than could be car
ried In a couple of dresn suit cases. From
this visit he brought away clothes he
required, a picture of his mother, and
one.' much faded, of the little Aroesbury
girl. Ills evening clothes, his black pearl
stud, his tennis ahd polo rupe, everything
indeed of real valuo that . belonged .to
him he left behind. It was his intention
to enter the ranks of labor, on an
equality with other laborers, and by. dint
of sheer determination to work his way
up until he should be in a position to
support the girl of his choice.
Still, when he hal refused the old
butler's offer of the ssvtngs of half a
life time, and heard the dors of the solid
old mansion close behind him for per
haps the last time, a lump rose in
Tommy's-throat, and he went down the
steps ort feet which already seemed to
t hare lost 'their buoyancy.'
A suit case in each hand, he was turn
ing toward, the cast side, when ho was
acosted familiarly, tlioi-gh respectfully
enough, by a youngish man in a brand
new and very . ill-fitting suit of blue
serge.
"Are you Mr. Barclay?" asked this one,
and, at Tommy's assurance that he was,
he Jerked his thump towsrd a companion
and said, "Tm Carson-This Is Cracowlti."
Tommy bowed as politely as to the presi
dent of the United. States and the secre
tary of the navy, and said:
"What can I do for-you gentlemen?"'
"Oordon Barclay won't see It," began
Carson, but Tommy Interrupted a little
austerely:
"Mr. Barclay won't see you?" ho said.
"Are you the Carson and Cracowlts who
lately In Western
had been figuring
Pennsylvania?"
'We are," said Carson, and Cracowlts
nodded vehementlq. "Mr. Barclay." Car
son went on, "ought to tee us, and If you
are Mr. Barclay you can get him to."
"Why ought he to see you?"
."For his own good and ours. We can't
do anything with old man Kehr. He's for
a fight to the finish. It doesn't matter
about us men, but how about the women
and children? How about them, Mr.
Barclay?" ....
"Oh, I am on their side always," said
Tommy.
"Then you'll fix It so that we can see
Mr. Barclay?"
"Mr. Carson," said Tommy, "were you
ever stone broke?"
The question shocked Mr. Carson into
admitting he never had been.
"Well," said Tommy, for the first time
smiling, "I am. Mr. Barclay has turned
me off without & cent and has , disin
herited me besides. That shows how
much Influence I have with him. But I
can tel you, (his sbout him. If he
has said that he won't see you. he
won't." ,

dauKhters that they must follow the
Tachion If hey would not be considered

Yet one who underrtanus human nature
to any extent sees plainly that there men
are made uncomfortable anl unhappy by
the lack of modesty which their women
folk display In the revealing of their
anatomy tc the gaze of the populace.
A man Is such a peculiarly complicated
being that he will pay compliments to
other men's wive and daughters on their
beauty and attractiveness while In Nil

be Inexpressibly mortified were Ms own

Men have a much higher Ideal of mod

have for thorselves While a man's
vanity and self-conceit are flattered by
having a - woman call him up on the
telephone and make arrangement for
his entertainment, lie is In his 'keart
disillusioned, and his Ideal of the woman
is lowered.
A man likes to be the aggressor In all
these matters; a man likes to be the one
who seeks; he would rather urge and
find the woman coy;, he would prefer to
wait a bit for an answer to his lstter
than to. have her write too promptly and
seem too- eager for further epistles from

In all these matters of vital Import

man has the more delicate and refined
Ideals.

women, single and married, to tell risque
stories and to verge on the Indiscreet In
their language.
A youth In his senior year In coIIorc
was taken away and sent traveling for a
year by a wise mother In order to save
him from the pursuit of young women
who overworked the telephone and tho

distract the young man from his studies.
A man who had traveled extensively In
many lands, and who happened to be a
type attractive to women, declares tho
Christian women In all civilised Innds to
be the most Immodest and Indelicate of
all women on earth. "It seems to be a
mania with women." he said, "to be no

Advice to Lovelorn
BBATBXOa 9AXXTAX. t
Tell Her.
Pesr Miss Fairfax: I have known a
girl for two years, during which time 1
have taken her out to many places, al
wsys with either her sister or brother.
I love the girl and have every reason
to believe she loves me. But on $ per
month I cannot provide a comfortable
home.
I now fesl that I have taken up too
much of her time.
CONSTANT READER.
You ewe the girl a frank declaration
of your ' feelings and circumstances as
well. Since you have come Into her life
and made her care tor you, you must not
hurt her by dropping her without explana
tion. When ahe knows your financial
condition and future possibilities she will
be In a position to help you- work out
your problem which is hers a well.
Ask Hlsa to Call .
Dear Miss Fairfax: Is It proper for a
Kir I to ask a young man, when he takes
er home from a dsnce or party, to call
on her, or should the young man ssk If
he ce.n call? If the young man ssks to
call on the girl for the first time, Is It
the girl's duty to invite him to her home
the second time or It Is his duty, to ask
again? K. H.
When a man escorts a girl home, ho
has msde an effort to establish friendly
relations. After that It is her place to
offer him the courtesy of her home.
Once she has asked him to call, he knows
he Is welcome but it Is never amiss to
say to any guest, "I shall be glad to see
you again." There la no reeson why
girls should not be as courteous to men
as to other girls. '

Most men are little boys And as such
they like to bo petted a bit and coaxed
Into nmlnhlllty with poodles and kind
words. They don't like to be nagsed at
or to le urged Into doing things they find

Kindness, encouragement, sympathy
these are what the a vera re man craves.
