With eyes that, looking Inward, hold Long thoughts that sever fade. It speaks of dynasties and powers Now crumbled Into dust; Of ruined minarets and towers, Of faded Joy and trust. Of mummied figures, thickly bound; Of scents of Araby, And ancient time forgot, unwound Abreast a sapphire sea. Of winds spice-laden, honey-sweet, Of blistering desert sands; Of fronded palms and languid heat, And far Egyptian lands. Of rugs barbaric hued and soft, Of silks In gorgeous strips, Of skies gemmed thick with stars aloft. Of songs and scarlet lips. A squat jade idol, quaint and old, With jewelled eyes aflame, Hid In an antique shop, unsold. Dreaming of whence he came. Head It Here See By Gouverneur Morris and Charles W.

The first place they send her is to Bitumen, a mining town, where the coal miners are on a strike. Tommy 1ms gone there, too, and Mrs. Gunadorf. wife the miners' leader, falls in love with him ' and denounces him to the men when he spurns her. Celestia saves Tommy from being lynched, and also settles the s trine by winning over Kehr, the agent of the bosses, and Barclay, sr. Mary Black stone, who Is also In love with Tommy, tells him the story of Celestia, which she has discovered through her jealousy. ' Kehr Is named as candidate for president on a "ticket that has milliter's support, and Tommy Barrlny la named on the miners 'ticket. Btllliter profesHes him self in love with Celestia and wants to get her for himself. Tommy urges her to marry him. Mary Blackstone bribes Ms. Gunsdorf to try to murder Celestia, while the latter Is on her campaign tour, traveling on a snow white train. Mrs. tiunsdorf Is again hypnotized by Celestia and the murder averted. THIRTEENTH EPISODE. Freddie the Ferret had not given warning for the simple reason that Prof. SUlleter had not reached the cave by the trail along which Freddie was cut ting balsam from the shrubbier trees. He had come up from a different direc tion, and entered tho cava by Its other mouth. He had expected to find Tommy and Celestia somewhere in Its depths. ' As we know he had found only Tommy. Having, as he thought disposed of Tommy, he had now to find Celestia, who was, as he imagined, somewhere near the outer entrance to the cave. And there. Just within it, he found her, Tommy's coat about her shoulders. "Come," ho bald. 'The driver told me to wait for him." "I tell you to come with me. You are no longer to obey the driver. He Is a dirty hound." She rose with a kind of reluctance. "The driver Is a dirty hound." re peated tha professor. "Say it yourself." "He Is a dirty hound." "He Is dead. Say you are glad ,f "I am glad." "Tau want to come with me." "I want to come with you." "Up he mountain there Is a minister and witness. We are going to be mar ried tonight. I have telegraphed the triumvirate that, your work done, you have gone back to heaven. Soon you will be In heaven. Bay that it will be heaven witb me my bride." "It will be heaven with you." Nothing colder or more automatic than Celestia' voice can be imagined. "Kiss me." She kissed htm. And as to what has been said of her voice the same may be said of ber kiss. And at that moment. It may be aald that Prof. SUUeter earned whatever fate might befall him. Grinning like a satyr, his pulses thun dering with passion, the Beast took Beauty by the hand and led her to the mountain side toward a little hut that was known to him. At that moment Tommy groping In tha darkness, hslf 'dead with dread and anxiety, had not yet found his candle, but was Just going to too late to be of any help. But. at that moment also Freddie the Ferret, coming up the trail, with his usual luck, perceived Celestia and the professor in the moonlight. He dared not shout to Tommy in the c,i ..

For this purpose many vessels were In far New Tork, the triumvirate dining kept at hand, and the Imagination of the at Oordon Barclay's house, received the artificers was allowed full play in the following telegram, so sure was he of outwitting Tommy, from the village in which he had Intended to marry Celes tia: Wayside. Adlrondacks. To Oordon Barclay, Esquire: ' Sure now that the cause for which sho cam to earth will triumph. Celestia the Goddess has gone back to heaven. We shall never see her any 'gYnJJCTBR. Said Serames: 'The blank of a blank has aJbducted her himself." Said Sturtevant: "What ths devil does he mean?" Oordon Barclay, after thought said: "Her work la over. We are' going to win. There is no doubt about that It Is. better for humanity that she should go. And yet It Is very horrible to th Ink-to think what It Is possible to think. I hope to God that 'It wasn't bungled that she didn't suffer." He was silent for a moment. Then, his voice strengthening: "The gospel that we have taught her to preach has more to It than we thought. Let us speak bluntly. Many years ago the scheme was convicted by greed and the lust of power. With the years. these passions rail in me, j. woum do good to humanity. Qur scheme the gospel which we have preached through Celestia is a weapon with a double edge a philosophy to use or abuse. If I am elected president, gentlemen, I ahall do what I may to to oh. you know what I mean. I thought I wanted power. To hell with power! I want to be great" He shut his mouth on the word Uk a steel trap and, deeply moved, sent for his butler, and told him to bring; another bottle of wine. Celestia and Btllleter cam to th door of a little log but "That," said th psychologlan, "is the gat to Heaven enter, my angel." As th beast was about to force her Into th hut the silence of the night was broken by a twig crackling sound that might have been mad by a cautious foot pressing gently on a very dry twig. Stllleter faced sharply about, and list ened. His eyeglasses and his strong white teeth, the upper Hp being drawn back with a kind of snarl of apprehension, gleamed In the moonlight.

When The Aquamamlle 4 By GARRETT P. SKRYISH. Even finger bo I have a history, or a story of evolution. In that story on ran read the progress of rood manners in human society. In the middle ages, and in much more ancient times, the precursor of the finger bowl appeared In the form of a kind of ewer, In tended for washing ths hands and fin gers at meals. The forma assumed by these vessels called "aquamanlllea," or "aquamanales." were often grotesque. In ancient days, as Mr. J. Tavernor ferry reminds us, table knives and forks were virtually unknown, and the fingers were employed for handling and dividing food in a manner that would not be practiced In modern times, even at a picnic in Europe, from the twelfth to the fourteenth centuries, the custom prevailed at court and In the fashioning of these vessels.

" "e says SCOrn- rilll. that In Ihnni glrl- d Rot marry for love, an their grandmothers did, but that they regard marriage as a business proposi tion, and that un less a man can offer them a com fortable living they will have none of him. He further al leges that when a man asks the mod ern girl to marry him she actually has the nerve to ask htm what he makes, and what hla prospects are. This the young man considers shock ing, and ha opines that th reason that so many men don't marry is because they cannot find any of the sweet, old-fashioned maidens who agree with the poet, that love la enough, and who never ask for Bradstreet's blessing on their mar riage. . . , v I think this matrimonial cynic, like a good many other cynics, doesn't under stand the situation at which ha scoffs. In tho first place, ther were never so few mercenary marriages mad as are mad today. The woman of th past had to marry for a horn and a meal ticket. Also she had to marry to escape depend ence and to have any Individual place in the world. In our grandmother's day th only gain ful occupations open to women were do mestic service, factory work, sewing and teaching. All wer miserably ill-paid, and so if grandma wanted a decent living she had to marry It, Also an old maid was a figure of fun, despised, put upon, th fringe on some family that didn't want any appllqued edge of poor female relations. bo, if grandma desired a home of her own, and position in society, and to be admired and respected, she had to marry an establishment, no matter what sort of feeling she had about th gentleman who produced the wherewithal. The net result of this was that women shamelessly married, whether they loved or not, because marriag was th only open door to a career and livelihood. Without doubt a thousand women in the past mad a sordid, mercenary mar riage, literally sold themselves In mar riage, where on woman does now. For th first time in the history of the world women are free to follow th dictates of their own hearts In matrimony, bocaus with all th avenues of gainful occupa tion that have opened up before th feminine sex, the modern girt can sup port herself as well as th average hus band Is Ilk to do. Th girl witb a Job can afford to marry for love, and th anan that she says "yes" to can rest In perfect satisfaction that b Is loved for himself alone, and loved greatly, because the girl of today thinks a long while before she surrenders her Individual pocketbook and freedom.

Life hsd hurt her cruelly by showing her ths promised land of love and happiness and then taking from her at one th prophet who had led her there, and the knowledge of how to find th path and leaving with her th memory of her on glimpse Into all ths loveliness that was dented her.

All ber day wer quiet and drab. And th girl found no con tentment In th quiet that followed her day of lovely melody. There was a black spot In th girl's heart And every day sb unlocked th door of her heart and took out the ugly black spot and looked at. It, and showed It to other people. And soon sh began to feel that in her heart ther was noth ing but that ugly black spot Ths girl hated lov and feared it be cause one lov bad mad her suffer so.
