CHAPTER XVI.

Although she had as yet done moth
ing that was not helpful or kind, there
was something about Mrs. Baxter that
rang false, and the house in which she
lived was a strange place.
Mrs. Bakers sitting room and Office
was at the back Of the house up one
fight of stairs. And here, summoned
downstairs by neat looking colored
maid. she left Celestia to herself for a.
while.
Sweetzer and Freddie were in the
front parlor. Mrs. Baxter swept in
upon them with an important air Of
mystery.
"Got the real thing this time, have
your" asked Sweetzer.
You just bet I have" said Mrs.
Baxter.
when you've seen her all III have
to do will be to name the sum; Just
step upstairs. Billy, and you, too, Fred
die, if you'd like to have a peep at
the real thing"
Usual price?" asked Sweetzer.
"Yep. But go quiet She's got ears
like a lynx, and she can see plumb
through paint and canvas"
The men followed Mrs. Baxter on
tiptoe.
Just before they came TO the door
of Mrs. Baxter's Office Sweetzer and
Freddie ducked of into what appeared
to be dark closet and pulled the
door to after them; while Mrs. Baxter,
with a great bustling, noisy cheerful
ness rejoined Celestia.
You're looking at my pictures,
aren't you, dear?" she said. Il love
beauty, love nature. Now that girl
with her hands TO her hair, amt she
just too cute and graceful for any
thing?"
In moving from one picture to an
other Celestia unconsciously assumed
many lovely attitudes herself Once
she lifted her hands TO her hair; sew
eral times she smiled back at girls
who appeared to be smiling at her
And at last she stood with her hands

Freddie the Ferret" was a remark.
able young man His READ name was
Frederick Appleton Douglas-and he
came OF good Scotoh-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.
tinguished him as much as brains and
talent could have done Some people
are always finding fourleaved clovers.
Freddie's gift, though he had never
seen clover patch or lived in clover,
was of that sort. If Freddie went
through a rubbish heap he always
found something of value.
The police knew him we'll 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
at heart he was good-natured and not
responsible for the occasional harm
that 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 bit of his left ear
missing?"
"sure," said Freddie; you mean
Pete the Polaxe."
"Where?" said Rafferty,. He's shot
a man up and he's wanted"

minutes ago. lie give me a dime to

''Where'd you see him, boy?"
"He was goin' into O'Gormans ice
cream parlor with Nell the Finger
family entrance"
IF you've spoken the truth" said
Rafferty,. "lll 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 mild jag
costs money. One day the proprietor
tapped Freddie on the shoulder and
told him he was wanted on the phone

"This is Mrs. Baxter"

"Sure; whatll tell him?"

AS Freddie the Ferret left Flanner
mans, it was his luck to run into
Sweetzer, who was on the point OF en-
tering.
sweetzer had the appearance of a
ward politician.

said Freddie.
What for?"
"Mrs. Baxter says to say she's got a

They set off at once in the direction

CHAPTER XVI.

Had Mrs. Baxter no conjunction
whatever? Yes. But she was only
doing as she had once been done by.
She had to live, OF she felt that she
had to; and she had hardened her
heart TO mercy and self-sacrifce. 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.
1T amt anywhere near bedtime"
said Mrs. Baxter. You just curl up
on my sofa and take forty winks."
Sleeping she looked more beautiful
than maiden Of this earth

Mrs. Baxter, amt she beautiful? And
to think that she has to be food for
swine"
A strong emotion seized Mrs. Bax
ter. It was fear, pity and remorse.
mo use crying over spilled milk,
she murmured. And now to change
her into travelling dress"
She left the room hurriedly and
came back with all that was necessary
to change Celestia from a Greek god
dess to an American girl.
Suspended from Celestia's neck by
a narrow ribbon, was the smallest

howl of grief, and then she began to
say in a kind of hurried sing-song:
Must hurry-must hurry-must hur-
ry."
She found the strength to half car
~, half drag Celestia down the front
stairs and to half lift, half tumble her
into huge trunk that almost blocked
the front hall. Before she closed and
locked the trunk, she flung into It the
ten one hundred dollar bills. And
then she tried to compose herself
against Sweetzer's arrival
He was punctual to 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.

loosely caught behind her and looked
up at the masterpiece Of Mrs. Baxter's
collection.
As art II wasn't bad at all. Some
young fellow with a genuine talent
had made it. If he had also succeeded
In making a name for himself the pic
ture would have been worth a good
deal Of money; but, as Mrs. Baxter
explained, poor Allison had drank
and doped himself to death. And

money that he owed me. It's called
The Peacock Girl
"The Peacock Girl'' was as delicate
ly and prettily made as an apple bios
som. And she was as sweet and rosy,
and not bit proud OF having no
clothes on Ike the girls in the other
picture, or brazen or ashamed. She
strolled straight toward you. And in
front of her and at both sides and be-
hind her all the way to the rim Of
the world were peacocks with their
tails spread. The coloring was gor-
geous and the eyes in the peaoocks'
tails were like thousands of bright
jewels. But the eyes Of the peacock
girl were so frank and sweet, that
after a glance at the rest OF the com
position Celestia could look at moth
ing else.
Not so Mrs. Baxter, standing be-
hind Celestia and little to one side.
She looked steadily at two of the
eyes in the tail OF the leading pea
cock In those two eyes she read rap
turous approval So she held up one
finger, and then with that same finger
traced three circles in the air.
At that the eyes in the peacock's
tail tried to look obdurate and strong.
Mrs. Baxter shrugged her shoulders.
Then the eyes winked slowly three
times. and Mrs. Baxter, forgetful Of
everything but her triumph, laughed
aloud.
Celestia turned TO her with inquir-
ing eyes. She did not know that she
had just been sold for thousand dol
lars by someone who did not own
her to someone whom she had never
seen.
You must be tired standing.
dearie." said Mrs. Baxter, 'and hun
cry and thirsty. too. Whatll you
drink--a glass of wine?"
Water, please"
That's nicer, water with a dash Of
orange juice. You wait here and I'll
see to it myself"
Once more Mrs. Baxter hurried
downstairs. Once more she found
Sweetzer and Freddie in the front
parlor.
I'm send for her in an hour" said
Sweetzer; "see that's she's ready"
you mean asleep?"
l mean more. Put her into some
thing less audible than that fiim-fam
white thing she's got on"
She's going to have a glass OF wa
ter with a little orange juice in it
and a little dash of something else.
guess she'll be all ready when you
send. It's early, though. How'll you
get her out Of the house?"
"As usual" said Sweetzer, 'in

There's one thing more"
Eye met eye. And after a 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.

GERMANY'S
LATEST NOTE

The last note from Germany to the
United States seems to have throw
all the fat into the fire. The country
had been led to believe that the Tue
tons were placable and were ready tc
grant the reasonable requests made
by the United States in reference to
her cruel submarine warfare. Thi:
country had merely asked for its
rights as nation, and Germany pre-
tended she was ready to respect them
That country now, however, refuses
any indemnity for her acts in caus-
ing the death of Americans, and Yer
communication has reopened the
wound.
The exposure of the Austrian Am
bassador's methods has added audl-
tional gravity to the situation. The
Richmond Times-Dispatch says:
Now that passports for DR.. Dumba
are in course of preparation, there
should be no delay in obtaining from
Germany an exact statement of how
that country proposes to conduct its
submarine warfare and what safe.
guards it offers American lives al

answering the distress signal of an,
other vessel. is about to ram the sub.
marine, and thereupon to destroy the
would-he rescuer and Stay its pas
sengers. Germany's assurances NEAR
rather less than nothing. We have
been unwilling to believe that on n!
issue so serious Germany was dis
posed to trifle with the United States,
hut we see some reason to apprehenc
that we may have to change our
minds.

with the spot where the building
purchased by the telephone company
stands. Seventy-fve or more years
ago, when the pegged shoe industry
spread in the United States a fac
tory was erected on the east side OF
Alfred street, near King, and later
removed to building which stood
upon the site of that now occupied
by B. Wheatley's undertaking estab-
lishment. Many boys were employed
in this industry which was conducted
by Dean, Harmon and Smith. Inc
shoe factories of Massachusetts, how
ever, soon began to put stocks upon
the market at lower prices than the
shoes could be made in Alexandria
and our factory was forced to the wall.
Hundreds of young Alexandrlans had
been in the meantime given a smat-
tering of shoemaking. Some CONT
nued in the avocation and became
worthy disciples of St. Crlspn.
Others, however, in embarked IN d.
vers callings. We believe the grave
has closed upon every one Of the or
iginal employees of this factory.
