her eyebrows and smiled with irritat-
ing superiority.
But in simple language" she went
on, what you say about her amounts
to this: She is good-looking. she is
out of her mind. and she doesn't wear
enough clothes"
Fitch overheard and laughed.
Don't" said Tommy, don't con-
denim her out of my clumsy words.
Please see her. Mary. You can't help
wanting to help her. And IL you
won't help her, there's no other girl
can go to. Take her in for tonight,
won't you. Just for old times sake"
Mary appealed to Fitch.
What ought I to dol" she asked.
Fitch came forward with q judicial
manner.
Il congratulate you, Tommy" he
said. with a sort Of man-of-the-world

Meanwhile Mary had gone to the
window, had caught a glimpse of Ce-
lestia, and felt her heart fail her with
rage and jealousy.

sweetly. the proper place for that
ravishingly beautiful young creature

CHAPTER XIV.

What had happened was simply
this: The moment Tommy had entered
his fathers house Celestia had leaned
from the cab window and told the
driver to drive on. Why7 Because
she thought she was a trouble to him?
No. II was because when his arms
had been around her and he had
kissed her and she had kissed him
back, almost all thought OF her heav-
emily mission to this earth had been
wiped from her mind, and she felt
that the gates Of heaven were closed
against her return. They had trust
ed her. And she mustn't fail them.
The cab had stopped and the driver
was speaking to her through the win
dow.
This will do" she said, and she got
out. Thank you very much" and
then, her head bare, feet showing be-
low Tommy's raincoat, she started to
walk away.
Hold on, there" beloved the
driver, how about my fare?"
"Oh," said Celestia, turning meekly.
The driver pointed to his meter.
Sixteen dollars and forty-eight
cents" he said. with a tone OF final
ity.
Celestia stood helpless and bewil-
dered.
But have no money" she said.
You haven't, haven't your"
The driver leaped threateningly from
his box, and a crowd began to gather.
Through this crowd a strong, loud
voiced, well-dressed middle-aged wom-
an came pushing and struggling. She
caught Celestia by the arm and forced
her back toward the cab, the door of
which was still open.
"I'll take care of you, dear" she
said. 'In with you"
To the driver she gave an address
in voice which none but him heard,
and a moment later, amid jeers and
murmurs of pity, Celestia was once
more whirling through the streets of
New York.

CHAPTER XIV.

Freddie the Ferret" was q remark.
able young man. His real name was
Frederick Appleton Douglas-and he
came of good Scotch-American stock.
II he had been bright and bad he might
have been a gangster. But he wasn't
bright and he wasn't bad. He was
neither a half-wit, nor a whole wit.
and he had almost as much moral
sense as a cat That Is to say, he had
none.
His habitual companions, however,
were evil. For many such persons In
the city had discovered that on occa-
sion Freddie could be tremendously
useful. To begin with, his luck dis
,inguished him as much as brains and
talent could have done. Some people
are always finding four-leaved clovers.
Freddie's gift, though he had never
seen a clover patch or lived in clover,
vas of that sort. II Freddie went
through a rubbish heap he always
found something of value.
The police knew him well. And al
though he was often mixed up in rep
rehensible matters. they were careful
not to arrest him. because he was often
so useful to them, and they knew that
4 heart he was good-natured and not
responsible for the occasional harm
hat he did.
Freddie's repute with the police be-
gan when he was quite a small boy.
Sergeant Rafferty,, tall and very seri-
Gus looking, encountered him one day
and said:
Say, Bub. have you seen a man
round here with one nostril bigger
than the other and a bit OF his left ear
missing?"
Sure" said Freddie; you mean
Pete the Polaxe"
"Where?" said Rafferty,. Hes shot
a man up and he's wanted"
81 seen him." said Freddie, mot FIVE
minutes ago. He give me a dime to
say didn't"
"Where'd you see him, boy7"
HE was goin' into o'Gorman's ice
cream parlor with Nell the Finger,
family entrance"
III you've spoken the truth" said
Rafferty,, 'I1l give you a dollar"
Ten minutes later the arrest was
made and Freddie's reputation was es-
tablished.
Flannerman's barroom was Fred
dies headquarters. Sometimes the
habitues amused themselves by get
ting him drunk, but not often. for they
were poor men. and even 4 mild Jag
costs money. One day the proprietor
tapped Freddie on the shoulder and
told him he was wanted on the phone.
Yes, this 10 Freddie. all right"
This is Mrs. Baxter"

sense. And / was even wrong about
that"
And he turned upon his heel and
left the room.
II was getting dark, and something
had to be done quickly.
"Celestia." said Tommy, as he en-
tered the cab, I'm going to try my
father. We've had q sort OF row, but
We are very fond Of each other, and
we've a dear old housekeepeF. and
she'll look after you"
Celestia was silent for q few mo-
ments. Then In small voice she said:
Nobody wants me. I'm q terrible
trouble to you. Your father won't
take me in. / know he won't. And
/ know that ! wouldn't be happy when
turned into q human being. They
told me wouldn't. But didn't know
how unhappy and lonely I'd have TO
be-"
Tommy, deeply touched, suddenly
took her in his arms and kissed her.
For q moment she lay against him.
and her lips moved against his. Then
she freed herself with sudden energy.
and exclaimed: Il mustn't mustn't"
- why mustn't you, Celestia, dearT

and get married Quietly-and then
you couldn't be lonely and unhappy"
Il didn't come down TO this world
to marry" said Celestia. and she
sighed.
And he ran up the stairs OF Bar
clsy's house. hoping that the man he
called father would refuse the protec-
ton OF his roof to celestia

But Barclay. notified by stiliitsr OF
Celestis's escape with Tommy. was
only too anxious to detsin her until
she could once more be turned over
to the professors guardianship.
So when Tommy, looking very man
ly. told his father about Celestial. that

child-of course we must take her In.

cried.
Visions of certain New York pit
falls flashed through Barclays mind.

orange Juice You wait here and I'll
see to II myself"
Once more Mrs. Baxter hurried
downstairs. Once more she found
Sweetzer and Freddie in the front
parlor.
"I1l send for her in an hour" said
Sweetzer; see that's she's ready"
you mean asleep?"
/ mean more. Put her into some
thing less audible than that fim-fam
white thing she's got on"
She's going to have glass of wa.
ter with a little orange Juice in 1t
and a little dash of something else. I
guess she'll be all ready when you
send. It's early, though. How'll you
get her out of the houseT
"As usual" said Sweetzer, in a
big trunk"
There's one thing more"
Eye met eye. And after q little
Sweetzer's eyes fell and he drew from
his inside pocket an enormous roll
of dirty bills of large denominations.
Ten bills of a hundred dollars each
passed very slowly and with much
thumb licking from him to Mrs. Bax-
ter.

CHAPTER XVIII.

Celestia woke neither sick nor
dazed; but cool-minded and rested. in
a broad. cool bed. II was Mrs. Bax-
ter's entrance on tiptoe that had
walked her. Mrs. Baxter carried tray
upon which was. an orange. coffee and
rolls.
You've had a long sleep. dearis.
How do you feel?"
Very well and happy. thank you"
When you've had your breakfast
you'll have to go away. can't keep
you here; II wouldn't be right II
wouldn't be safe"
Mrs. Baxter burst into sudden tears
4 celestia's departure.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1915-08-25

Il may never see you again. But
n never forget you--oh, I've been a
wicked woman; but I'll try not to be
wicked any more--and It's you that
done II"
And she thrust the bills which
5weeizer had given her into Celestia's
lands.
Il came from heaven to help you
said Celestia simply. "Good-by and
God bless you"
Her eyes bright as stars she went
out into the early sunshine. and
walked slowly in an easterly direction,
her head high and the band OF jewels
cleaning brightly across her brow.
BY the time she had passed under
the first lines Of elevated tracks a
crowd had collected about her. They
did not show her any disrespect at
first perhaps because she had such a
royal look of selfsufilciency. But as
the crowd increased. persons in it's
outskirts who could not see her well,
began to make themselves unpleasant.
And this example began to be followed
by those who we're nearer to her. She
was not angry or frightened, but prog
ress became more and more difficult.
and she looked this way and that for
q way of escape
The door Of a mean little house
stood wide open. Furniture was be-
ing carried out of the house, and there
was a middle-aged woman who kept
dabbing her eye with her apron.
Celestial made a dart for the open
door, the crowd now hooting and
threatening, reached it, closed 1t be-
hind 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 sick with broken
arm We can't pay the rent and the
landlord is throwing us out into the
street"
"Oh, but he mustn't do that" said
Celestia. She was still holding the
bills which Mrs. Baxter had given
her.
Where is your husband?"
Almost in. a state of coma Mrs.
Douglas, for that was the woman's
name, led the way into a room from
which everything had been taken out
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.
"See," said Celestia, here is lots
of money. A good woman gave it to
me. And please win you help me for
a little while because l have no place
to go, and you look like good people"
Douglas had never seen SO much
money at one time.
who are you, m'm?" he asked.
Where are you from?'
His eyes were blinking rapidly with
awe and wonder.

heaven to help you" He looked into

And she, too. left the room, and Ce-

quick ear caught the sound OF a
stealthy movement

bring her to me. understand. There's

kind OF fierce jocosity. Bring her dead

CHAPTER XVII.

Had Mrs. Baxter no conjunction
doing as she had once been done by.
She had to live, or she felt that she
had to; and she had hardened her
heart to mercy and self-sacrifice. Still,
her hands shook as she carried the
orangeade and the sandwiches up to
Celestia, and her voice shook as she
said:
There. dearie. eat. drink and be
merry"
Celestia ate hungrily and drank
thirstily. And presently she said that
she felt sleepy and could hardly keep
her eyes open.
"It amt anywhere near bedtime"
said Mrs. Baxter. You just curl up
on my sofa and take forty winks."
Sleeping she looked more beautiful
than a maiden of this earth.

Mrs. Baxter. amt she beautiful? And

she murmured. And now to change

She left the room hurriedly and

a narrow ribbon. was the smallest,

She found the strength to half car.

stairs and to half lift, half tumble her
into a huge trunk that almost blocked
the front hall. Before she closed and
locked the trunk. she flung into 1t the
ten one hundred dollar bills. And
then she tried to compose herself
against Sweetzers arrival
He was punctuai 10 the minute. MRS.
Baxter opened the front door herself.
Beyond Sweetzer, drawn up at the
curb, she could see the express wagon
and the trusted porters that he had
brought with him.
Everything all right?" he whis-
pered.
Mrs. Baxter closed the door.
"Sweetzer." she said, shes gone"
When I went back with the orangeade
she was gone. She must have smelt
