woman by her pecular hypnollo power.
Here she attracts Freddie Uie ferret,
who becomes attached to her. At a bU

he exercises her power over the girls,
and la aaved from being burned to death
by Tonuny. About this tune Stlllites,
Barclay and others who are working lo

Celestla, who has been trained to tnlim
of herself us divine and come trout
heaven. The first place they send her is
to Bitumen, a mining town, where the
.coal miners are on a strike. Tommy has
gone there, too, and Mra. Ounsdorf, wife
the miners' leader, falls In love with him
and denounces him to the men when lie
spurn her. Cclentla saves Tommy from
bcinir lynched, and also settlea the strike
by winning over Kehr, the agent of the
bosses, and Uarclay, sr. Mry Itlack

has discovered through her jealousy,
Kehr Is named aa candidate for president

self In love with Celestla and wanta to

to- insrry him. Mary Blackstone bribes
Mm. Ounadorf to try to murder Celestla,
while the latter la on her campaign tour,
traveling on a snow white train. Mrs.
Qunjtdorf Is again hypnotised by Celestla
and the murder -averted.
' THIRTEENTH EPISODE.
.Half -an hour passed. Tommy shut off
Power, and brought the car to a stand
at the side of the narrow road. ' .
"Come, Celestia," he aald, "and follow
me," ,
Ho turned his back upon the road and
stepped off boldly into the woods. Celes
tla followed him; walking as she had
been told to do with swift tirlessnes.
And the Ferret followed her.
There Is no need to describe that walk
or the country through which It led them.
It was lust a walk sa Tommy bad told
her of, long and fast. But it didn't tire
her. It was fcr the most part along nar
row blazed trails, but sometime. Tommy
took short cuts known to himself.. When
there was no longer light to see by, they
rested, -and Tommy put his coat around
Celestla, and Freddie put his over her
knees. They. rested there till. the moon,
rose, and then went on more slowly, but
no less surely, until they came to the
bold, upthruat mountain -mas at whose
fcit Tommy had found the entrance to
the famous cave.
And now the fact that Celestla showed
no sign of coining out of her trance, wor
ried him immensely. What;waa the use
of taking her into the cave and showing
her its charm and Us tinsel? Better to
explore It more thoroughlyhlnuself,
but carefully lest he get lost so that
when she came to her right mlndf he could
show her through with more speed and
authority. Once more he put his coat
about her, and told her to alt Just within

the entrance ot the cave. To Freddie he
gave hla knife and showed him how to
cut balnam boughs for a couch and pillow.
"When Freddie gets enough," he said,
"he will make you a bed, and you must
He down on It and rest."
To Freddie he aald:
"Oo back down the trail, and do your
cutting there. I don't think Btllleter can
have followed us, but If lie has you will
hear him coming. In that case, get back
to the cave aa fast as you can and Shout
Into It is loud as you can."
Then he took from behind a ledge one
of a number of candles which had
served him on his previous visit, and the
piece of chalk, lighted the former and
proceeded to his work of exploration.
HIM method was simple. Whenever he
mude a turning that might be difficult
to remember or retrace, he make a chalk
mark on the granite, according to a
system of directing marks, which he had
devised. Ko proceeding, and ever
gradually ascending, he penetrated
deeper Into the mountain, his mind glow
ing with amazement at the subterranean 1
marvel of nature, and with Indignation !
at thought of the deceitful and Irreverent)
uso to which it had been just used by i
man.
To retrace hla steps would be perfectly
simple, because of the chalk marks. All
he needed waa enough light to see them
by.
Tommy had entered the cave in Ignor
ance ot two things.. The first was that
there waa another entrance to the cave,
known only to Prof. Btllleter, and the
other is but told perhaps In Tommy's
own words. It was a piece of knowledge
that came to him suddenly out If a
clear sky,, or should we say a dark cave.
He stood stock still and swore twice.
Then he aald to himself:
"What a confounded blithering' idiot I
am. All I had to do was to tell her to
wake up, to come out of her trance, to
be herself, and she would have obeyed.
Better late than never, though." He
turned suddenly to retrace his steps, and
that move saved his life. ' . ' ...
There was a deafening crash, and the
bullet which was intended for Tommy's
heart, drew blood from his hand and
knocked the candle from it. The place
waa in total darkness. '
Then Tommy beard Prof. SUlleter's
voice:
"Got him, by God!""
Tommy had the sense to remain per
fectly still. He even held his breath.
Then he heard cautious footsteps, as one
who groped In the dark, and then died
away until there was . no longer any
sound at' all. He ' went down ' on his
knees and began to grope for the candle.
Every sound wasted favored the chance
of Celestfo's falling into Stllliter's power.
Tommy's mental state was half a groan
and half a cry of impotent rage. If
only he could have got his hands on
St! Meter! What had besome of Freddy

Advice to Lovelorn
: By MMAXusxm r aim ax
Undignified. .
Dear Must Fairfax: I am IB years old
and recently through an older man friend
of mine met a young lady three years
my senior, who is married. As this lady
is alone at home most of the time, her
husband being a traveling man, ahe In
vites me over repeatedly on th. plea, that
she la lonesome.
In response I have often gone to her
home to spend an evening with her. Al
though our relations are most proper I
have a doubt In my mind if it I rrudent
lor me to continue to visit her and there
fore ask you for advice. "EDWiN."
A man of fine feelings ought not to
permit a married, woman to entertain
him in her husband's home during hla
absence. You put yourself In a humiliat
ing position, and reflect on the dignity of
both husband and wife. If these meetings
ocour without the knowledge of the hus
band, that of Itself puts you in an abso
lutely wrong light. Unless he knows and
consents you really must have nothing I
more to do with this man's wife.
v Th. Right Thing.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I have, been c.n.
lng on a young lady for three months,
l iifortunstely the wheels of fortune do
not seem to be going my way, and I In
formed her that I could not take her time
Up any longer. She la aweet and sensible
and la only IS; yet when this explanation
was given to her she explained that her
valuable time had been taken up. Do
. you think that ah. can feel Justified In
making such a remark? I am at prea
nl with my father in business and am
; 23. and cannot possibly think of asking
her to wait three or four yeara. although
by that time 1 may be in a poalt'on to
marry her. X. T. Z.
! Bine, you feel tbat even th. lapse of
1 three or four years may not find you In
a position to ask this girl to be our wife,
you have shown a fair and honest spirit
In telling ber of your position. It Is ab
surd for a girl of only is to reproach you
j with ".polling h.r chances." At that ags
' she would do very well to have friends
instead of suitors!
Yes.

They are Just as lon as the carefully scratched
words they draw In the sand. Ardent man and
maid, sure with Kipling's enthusiast, that "Love
like theirs can never die," write the title of Love's
Litany on the sand, the old sweet words, "I love
, you!" And Love, old Dan, you know, crouches
along side and believes, too (what faith he has!),
that the sea will never come up and wash this
out. But the sea laughs low, blue and lacey and
lipping nearer and nearer. The tides reach and
fall, and when a summer day Is gone the sand
where "I love you" was written deep is as smooth
Fictionless Fables for the Fair
By ANN LISLE.
There was once a girl who had noth
ing to recommend her but a very good
mind and a refined nature. Bhe had
neither beauty nor fortune nor family
position. But that elusive thing celled
charm was hers, and the most eligible
man In her town fancied himself in love
with ber. The girl had a tender heart
and the man's wooing woke In her a
gentle emotion she fancied to be deep
and enduring love.
Bhe had a sweet voloe and she began
to devote herself to cultivating It Buf
fering had put a tender strain Into her
singing, and work and determination
helped ber forge ahead. And all through
the year of success the girl thought of
the day whan she would be the world's
greatest prima donna and the family

Uut the man's family contlnusd to wax
prosperous and to roll up millions, snd
the man seemed to go on a merry way
