CHATTER XII.


II had leaked out that the angel
from heaven, recently found in the
Adirondacks, would reach New York
on a certain train, and the entrances
to the Grand Central station were
thronged with idlers on the lookout
for sensation. don't know what
they expected to see-some sort OF
Carrie Nation perhaps, at whom
they would jeer--certainly not Celes-
tia. Very few persons In the crowd
really saw her--but from these as she
passed swiftly with Professor Stilliter
to waiting taxicab arose no jeers
and insults, but only low, humming
murmur OF wonder and admiration
She walked like someone In trance,
looking neither to the right nor to the
left, but her lovely face had such an
expression Of serenity and peace and
she was so touehingly young that the
worst scoffers felt their hearts soften
and 60 out to her
Her white dress, falling in unbroken
lines from her shoulders, the jeweled
band low across her forehead, would,
at the time and place. make almost
any other wearer ridiculous But Ce-
lestis's face was so commandingiy
good and beautiful that only women
and reporters noticed her clothes at
all. And only those of them who were
in the foremost fringe Of the crowd

thought" or else they are going to
make out that she is, and that's worse;
and did anybody ever see such hair
and eyes. and such carriage Of the
head, or any dress SO white, or anyone
that moved with so much grace?"
Professor Stilliter, who was well
known to the Belleview authorities,
though ne remained spectator OF all
the tests to which her mental powers
we're subjected, refused to give his
own conclusions as to her sanity.
I've been with her good many
hours on end" be said. "and, of course.
I've formed an opinion, but / refuse
to interfere In any way with your
experiments and deductions"
At first they all thought that she
was mad. They couldn't help 1t. She
told them that she came from heaven,
and had come to save the world. And
she told them these things with such
and dignity that 1t was OBJ
vious to thu most cynical that she at

doctors afterward, telling her chill
dren Bible stories"
Cross questioning could neither
shake her narrative in detail or degree.
and as her mind continued to respond
quickly and patiently to one test after
another they became more and more
puzzled. Instead of being able to prove
that she was defective, it began to
dawn on them after hours OF expert
ment and observation that she was the
opposite, not only mentally but physi-
cally.
At last Professor Stilliter took the

MRS. AMANDA THAYER HOOVER.

Mrs. Amanda Thayer Hoover, who
died Oct. 3rd, 1915, in the Wentatchee
Valley, Washington, was the eldest
child of Franklin Thayer and Nancy
Mason, and was born February 1888, at
Masontown, West Virginia.
She is survived by Mrs. Geo. R.
Lathrum of Buckhannon, Mrs. Martin
Miller of Grafton (sisters) and Frank,
John and Steven also of Grafton
(brothers),
In her early girlhood Mrs. Hoover
was well known in Oakland and vicinity
having taught several terms of school
in the Ashby settlement prior to the
Civil War.
About 1860 Miss Thayer on the in
vitation OF an uncle in Montana set out
for that distant territory making the
last 700 lap Of the 5000 mile journey by
stage coach.
Not long after her arrival she met
and married Mr.. David Hoover with
whom she lived ~ happy years. One
lovely boy blessed their marriage who
died of scarlet fever at the age of two
and half years.
Eight years ago advancing age for
both and stroke of paralysis for Mrs.
Hoover caused their removal from Mon.
tana TO the beautiful Winatchee Valley
of Washington to the home of her step
daughter Mrs. Ida Wantz.
Three years ago MIR. Hoover return
ing from a visit to Montana was fatally
injured on N. P tram dying 5 DAYS
later within As miles of home. Mrs.
Hoover never rallied from the shock
and sank slowly but surely.
She longed ardentlY to see some of
her own kinfolks at the last and often
spoke of The West Va. Hills" and said
several times to Mrs. Wantz "Oh Ida
could MT YOU tag me and send me back
in the baggage car to die at home. "
She had been a good wife to the father
and she had every kindness and care
from the daughter to her last hour.
Mrs. Hoover was a woman of great
industry and her home was her heaven
and every summer it was a bower of
bloom. She made the first carpet ever
in Montana and a piece of it and the u
inch hickory needle was solicited for
the Chicago Exposition.
She had wooden frame made one
yard wide and stitched strips of cloth
across it for the web, then threading
other strips into the big needle she
darned them under and oyer as in
basket work until she had thirty-five
yards of really beautiful carpet, which
adorned her cottage for more than 20
years.
