II met one of my acquaintance the

was rugged out In the sportiest of sport
clothes-heelless white shoes, skirt half
yau to her knees, a brilliant yellow coat,
with a dinky little hat to match. set on
her dyed hair AT raklsh angle, and with
her face painted up like the SIDE OF a

i know this poor old soul well. and
know that she spends fully half of her

stead Of rushing from a restaurant to n
fheater, and the theater back to a cafe.
But she doesn't dare to do Il because
she's got TO keep young. She's afraid to
indulge herself in the luxury OF getting
old.
And perhaps the saddest thing about
these women is that they have 70 ape
the conversation Of youth. Fancy a SEN
sible woman OF SO or 90 having to roll
her eyes and hahble inanities at boys
young enough to be her graDdsons. It
makes me sick To think OF It. And yet
every day see some superannuated old
flirt trying to act gay and giddy with
men and pose as a charmer.
such women are disgusting, they are
the greatest bores on earth. and yet II
they only had enough courage 10 he their
age. and talk like their age. they'd be

fifty or sixty years has had enough OF

enough OF the world to make her worth

of dates that she eXpurgates everything
worth while from her conversation

Then they tell us that II we can't be
young physically. We must keep young
mentally. So we are adjured TO asso-
ciate with young people. and to keep on
reading and studying. and going about
so that we won't get wrinkles on our

WELL they caught him trying to make
her kiss him, and ever since then he's
been-dead.
Her memory tells her of no physical
ills or wants, only of a wonderful in
capable disembodied serene state of hap
piness and holiness. There was voice
to which all bowed down in worship.
That voice told her at last that she must
descend to earth and do as she-has
done"
What an extraordinary storyr' ex-

NO" said Mary, mot in the least;
extraordinary, II you like; but not in

name before they took her to heaven
and named her Celestia was plain-Ames-

At that name a host of old and poignant
recollections flooded Tommys mind. For

me all thisf'

elected. Perhaps dislike Celestial so much

Mary's real motive in making the fore
going revelation TO Tommy was not en-
tirely clear even to herself. Above all
things she wanted to be rid Of Celestial
The promise OF a fortune in pearls to
the person who brought her definite word
OF Celestia's definite elimination from
mundane aairs had not borne fruit. Now
Mary thought that collapse OF Celestial :
power over men. though a shaking OF
her faith in herself, might produce defin-
lite results. Celesta. on learning that she
was not divine. being but a faker, would
become not only valueless TO the arch
conspirators. but a stern and awful
menace to their plans, They would sue

Mrs. Gunsdorf had failed.
1t wasn't for want Of trying that Mrs.
Gunsdorf had failed. II wasn't because
her spirit was weak or her arm nerve
less, nor because the knife which she
carried in her stocking wasn't long
enough and sharp enough for her purpose.
Advantageous opportunities for doing the
murder and escaping undetected were
rare. She had had but one, fo- Celestia
was so surrounded and guarded as q
rule that she was hard to come at. Mrs.
Gundsdorf had only had one good chance.
She had failed then because she had been
so foolish TO look Celestia in the eyes,
and the power to do the wicked deed had
been stricken from her
She didn't have money enough to track
Celestia all over the country. MARY
should have provided for this). But she
had done here best
Now another excellent opportunity
seemed to offer.
Celestias snow-white train, practically
deserted. occupied the siding. It would
be taken off at midnight, and run slowly
so as to arrive not too early in the chief
city of the north woods.
Mrs. Gunsdorf chose a moment when
no one seemed to be looking. and boarded
Celestia's own car at the observation
end. She knew the room in which Celes-
tia slept and entered It There was q

When Everything
Goes Wrong
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

When things begin to go wrong"
Cecil Rhodes once said, mine people out
of ten, give them a helping hand In that
direction. That is why we so often find
that misfortune don't come singly. The
first thing that goes wrong puts the
victim wrong"
wrong at times, how one little annoyance
or mishap seems to breed a host of
others.
There was once a man who, IL things
went wrong with him before 10 o'clock
in the morning, made II a practice to 20
back to bed again and spend the day
there. He said that he knew the day
would only prove unfortunate IL he got
up again and exerted himself.
That is the plan OF escaping irritation
one cannot recommend to everybody. We
poor. ordinary mortals have to PIT up
with mishaps as they come and go out
to meet whatever the day may have in
store for US with such courage as we may
possess.
There are so many people who suffer
from real and terrible misfortunes which
no human effort or foresight could avoid.
In their case we can offer no solution as
to the bitter why Of sorrow We can
only try TO help. We must recognize that
we cannot explain-we can only attempt
to relieve.
Real sorrow must be accepted with
humility. 1t must not be anticipated nor
put down to an evil star nor 20 any
superstitious explanation OF mischance.
The spirit with which 10 meet actual
disaster is two-fold; TO bear what must
be borne and TO avert and defeat I'M
necessary suffering.
To avoid what many-call misfortune or
bad luck needs a spirit above despond-
eney. The belief that you are go
ing to win is half the battle. The only
real luck In the world Is that OF having
or being able to cultivate the spirit OF
belief that there is no such thing as luck.
Anticipating misfortune means putting
on your heart so great burden Of woe
that a good fight against dependency
becomes impossible.
The feeling everything is bound TO 20
wrong" needs every bit OF vigor one can
find to bring about its defeat The quicker
one begins to fight. the better. Al the
moment when you happen TO find your
day starting wrong don't yield 20 despair.
Simply start II over again-and start Il
right
One morning on his rising the great
Wellington was informed by a cheerful
officer that every plan was miscarryinK.
Everything going wrong. Is it2 Well.
I'll see TO that" he exclaimed. He did.
The day turne dout to be a most fortu-
nate one.
There is no reason why. in spite OF sign
or portent each OF us cannot see 20
that" when the day starts out with
threat OF evil.
In victory over threat Of misfortune
there ought to lie great satisfaction. since
after all life is fight and We are born
