Dr. Sargent turned somewhat impa'
tiently. but on perceiving that Tommy
belonged to the world of wealth and fash
ion, and was not a reporter, his manner
changed to one of brusque courtesy

Tomnq,- "that Celestial am not at lib |
erty to tell you her real name Che wasn't

what 1t was)--is being held here until
her friends can be discovered. ! am one |
of her friends and have come to take
her away"
DIR. Sargent shook his head slightly,
and said something in which Prof. Still

is a great difference between being in

in q person. Prof. Stilllter is interested |
in her mental state And I-well, I'm
interested in her."

know she would be in good hands-why
not wait till ! can communicate with
Stiliiter?'
II have no use for him." said Tommy,
ANY more than he has for me. If you
LEI Celestial go with me he will probably
be angry. and yet the rights OF tho mat

1T don't wish to be indiscreet, but is
she a relative of yours?"
There was a good deal of Irish in
Tommys smile. And his eyes tw'nkled
brightly as he said:
