And those who had begun 10 loso

t~husiastic.
"Dcnt hurry her any" said barclay.

But Celestia. having begun 10 make
converts, was engrossed IN the work
and had no longer the leisure. or. in
deed. the wish 20 waste her precious
time Ia p~nllandering with individuals.
When Tommy had finally traced her
10 the DougIases he went often 10
see her. for II was hard for him TO
be away from her at all. But, as wo
Americans cay. "shc did not give him
a good run for his money" She APP

why. Celestial" he said. Il don't
deny that you've some mysterious
power over people. and that II you
keep on as you are going yo2ll end
mp by making a great. loud noise ia
tho world. Pat suppose you do get
what you want? Suppose that even IN
time you do elect q congress. a senate
and a president suppose you do sue
coed In changing the whole country
into @ gigantic trust. what Of It?
Cant you see that you will be hurting
the people instead Of helping thcm2
Can't you see that the men who run
your great trust. my respected father
among them. win become the greatest
autUcrats the world has w known?
Can't you gee that you would simply
be playing into the hands o. oapital?'
Celestial Simply smiled on him and
shook her head.
Il can convince nhybody but you"
she said Il can't convince you. and I
don't know why"
That's too easy said Tommy.
You don't convince anybody by logic
or argument. They Just naturally be-
lieye you. You've got some way OF
making them believe you. ! think
you're a sort Of witch. ! think you arc
way up IN magic. You can't hypnotic
the man that truly loves you any more
than you could hypnotic the man you
truly love. That's a well known law"
Tommy was half in earnest. half

II don't know what you are talking
about" said Celestia, "and II doesn't
matter. aud now"
please don't send me away" said
Tommy. IT'S the first time we've been
alone In ages, ana I've got millions OF
things 10 tell you and millions Of other
things towel, 10 look at you"
Tommy" said Cclestla. you talk
more nonsense than anyone In tho
world. / don't believe you've any
brains at all But II you've really got
n million things 10 say to me, youIl
have TO say them walking. I'm going
