FIFTH EPISODE; i
' ', "Tou'rs so good to me," said Celcgtla,
autdl sho smiled very aweotly, and In the
midst -of the smile yawrled and ahowed
all her beautiful white teeth,- and a mo
ment, later, laying; lier head, on a cool
allk cushion, she fetl sound asleep.
So sleeping he looked more beautiful
than a maiden of thla earth, perhaps
ahe dreamed that she was back In
heaven, for about hor mouth , there
seemed a kind of oelesttal expression.
"My God I My God I" exclaimed Mrs.
Baxter, ain't she beautiful? And to think
that she hat to be food for swine."
A strong; emotion seised Mrs. Baxter.
It waa fear, pity and remorse.
She wished almost that she had never
seen Celestia. Hut not quite, for Mrs.
Baxter was a vry practical woman.
"No use crying over spilled milk," she
murmured. "And now to chnge her Into
traveling dres."
She left the room hurriedly and came
back with all that waa . necessary to
change Celestia from a Greek goddess to
an American gtrL ' But' her hands would

' sharply with a kind of muffled groan, j
L"Then she looked again.
V. Suspended from Celestia' s neck by a
. narrow ribbon, was the smallest, oldest,
oddest little rag doll In the world.
I do sot know what silent chords In the
wicked old woman's heart wero touched
by the sight of that doll. I only know
that ahe gave a kind of a howl of grief,
and then she began to say in a kind of
hurried sing-song! "Must hurry nuat
hurry must hurry."
She found the strength to half carry,
half drag Celestia down the front stairs
- and to half life, half tumble her into a
huge trunk that almost blocked the front
hall. , Before she closed and locked the
trunk, she flung into it the ten one-hun-dred-dollar
bills. And then she tried to
compose herself against Bweetser's ar
rtval. --' -
He waa punctual to the minute. Mrs.
Baxter opened the front door harself.
Beyond Sweetser, drawn up at the curb,
she could see the express wagon and the
trusted porters that he had brought with
lUm.
"Everything all rlghtT' he whispered.
Mra Baxter closed the 'door.
"Sweetier." she said, "she's gons."
When I went back with the orangeade
he waa gone. Phe must have smelt a
rat. Sweetser. She must have seen your
eyes in the peacock's tail, foe, I had

Sweetser looked at the trunk. He
could think of nothing better to do.
."Well, then." he said, "how about the

Mrs. Baxter simply laughed In his face.
"How about the gas company you got
rie to put up a thousand for?" she ssld.
"Tou give me my thousand snd I'll give
you yours."
"Tou go to hell," said Sweetier, furi
ously. And he tore open the frant door
and marched down th fiont steps.
Mrs. Baxter locked the front door and
chained it and then ah sat down on the
trunk containing Celestia and had a
luxurious fit of hysterics.
Celestia woke neither sick nor dated,
t'Ut cool-minded and rested, in a broad.

Celestta's great eyes aiked questions to

". "I'vaidone all I .can for you," she said.
"I'm very sorry I can't do any more." :
It did not take Celestia long to eat her

And she thrust the hills which (sweetser
had given her .Into Celestta's hands.
"I came from Heaven to help you,"
said Celestia simply. "Good-by and Ood

Her eyes bright v stars she went out
into the early sunshine, and walked

Some New

Among the many privileges which the
present era accord to woman Is that of
"developing the beat within her," to
use bar own favorite phraseology.
It was the gen-
erally accepted idea
In olden times that
sm"' nvt
woman must
keep to her limited
domain of wife or
spinster, dapendent
f.
iipon husband or
relatives for home
and occupation, no
matter what wealth
of talent in other
i : ;, '
4 '
directions cried for
utterance In her
soul.
The girt who
utlllsud her talents
outside of the
domestic sphere
waa regarded as "stro.ig minded ' and
masculine, If not worse; and the mar
ried woman who dared write, sing, act or
reclta declsssed herself.
That was one extreme. We now seem
to have reached the other.
There Is an Idea prevalent today that
it Is the duty of every woman to K-ek to
"express" an Indefinable something
within her which shall establish her in
dividuality.
To made "the most of hersolf" is
(-very woman's ideal. It Is an excellent
one. but in pursuing it she needs to be
very certain that lier conception of
"most" would not be estimated as "least"
In the eyes of wt adorn.
In America this desire for individuality
is so prevalent that domestic obligations
are frequently put aside as c-skily as
household furniture Is stored,' while the
wife and mother sets firth in search. of
"her best self."
In olden times, when a woman .for
feited hoqws and Ita duties for a career,
other wives and mothers turned their
backs upon her.
But the sex Is broadening In sympathy
and Indulgence, and its charity is cov
ering: a multitude of suu.
A woman who has dlvoroed twa ' or
three husbands and shifted her maternal

Celestia, determines to aid her
"had collected about her. They did not
show her any disrespect at first, perhaps
aeeeuse ahe had suei a royal look of
lfufflclenoy. But as the crowl In
creased, persons in' it v outskirts who
Could not see her well, began to make
thcrnaelves unpleasant- And thla example
began to be followed by those who were
nearer to her." She was not angry or
frightened, ' but progress became more
and more difficult, and ahe lookod this
way and that for a way of escape.
"The door of a mean little house stood
wide open. Furniture was being carried
out of the house, and there was a middle
aged woman who kept dabbing lifer eye
with her apron. ,
. Celestia made a dart for tha open door,
the crowd now hooting and threatening,
reached It, closed It behind her, and was
alone in a narrow hallway with the
woman who wept, ' '
"What is the trouble?" she ; asked
gently. ' , '
. The woman's eyes widened with wonder
as she looked upon her chance visitor,
"My husband Is aluk with a broken
arm. We can't pay the rent and the
landlord Is 'throwing ua out into the
street"
"Ob, , but he mustn't do that." said
Ideas Dangerous
obligations upon other shoulders and)
purses, in order that she may. bs free
and untrammeled in her pursuit of her
ideal, meets with a great deal of con
sideration at the hands of her sis tor
women today,
"She had to pass though Just' those
experiences," they say, "In order to
evolve." ,
"What does a husband or a child or
two count in the great scheme of self
development?" says another. "A woman
must do what Is for her own highest
good, no matter what sacrifices -ire made
in the prooesa"
A somewhat conservative lady spoke
with regret of a friend who had devas
tated two homes.
"Don't think of her In that way," said
another. "She Is a woman of talent,
and I feol she hss a message to give to
the world yet. Che Is struggling toward
the light through all this xperienoe."
The liberality of Judgment ' is more
commendable than the casting of stones.
There Is an elastic - tendency to this
modern philosophy , which enables the
woman of lawless impulses to hide bar

The liberal thought of the day regard
ing Ionian Is full of hope for the erring
and remorseful soul; but It. is., top, when I
tarried to an extreme, full of danger for
the weak and unstable, 013d it la an ex
cuse for the selfish.
"The best" within a oman was never
developed, save through doing with
her might the nearest duties first.
Of course, there may be a diversity of
opinions regarding those dutlea, but one's
o n conscience and common aense sholld
be the guide.
It is not a duty to sacrifice life and
strength to the service of a brutal, aclflsh
and vicious husband, who has broken
every vow ha took at the altar, yet In
sists that his wife shall live up to the
letter of hers. ...
In such a cass it is a woman's nearest
duty to vet as fsr from tlie man as
possible, and not lay her future upon
the same pyre which has consumed her
past.
But the woman who allows her ambi
tion and her vanity to lead her to aao

which Mrs. Baxter had given her.
"Where is, your husband?", ' .
Almost in a state of coma Mrs. Doug
las, for that waa the woman's name, led
the way into a room from which every
thing had Seen taken but one chair. In
this sat a ' middle-aged, patient looking,
blue-eyed man, his right arm in a sling.
At his side stood a pretty girl of about
the same age as Celestia. I
"See," said Celestia, "hero la lots of
money..'. A good woman gave it to me.
And, please, will you help me for a little
while, because I have no place to go, and
you look like good people." j
Douglas had never seen so much money
at one .time. ,
"Who . are you, m'mT' he asked. '
"Where are you from?" i
Ills eyes were blinking rapidly with awe
and wonder.
"I am Celestia. I have come from
heaven to help you." He looked Into her
eyes on his knees before 'her,

But on a good man's life, and on the

There waa a man who aucceeded In an
