Ing baskets and cupids-was a platform
of musicians. Upon this. to a great
assemblage Of fashionable men and wo-
men all talking at once, Celestia ap-
peared suddenly and there was silence.
The lovely low-browed face crowned
with the strong dark hair. the steady,
k1nd, unfathomable eyes were like a
command that had to be obeyed.
OF speech. She never started by ex-
pressing surprise at being asked to
speak or astonishment at perceiving
SO many upturned faces. Nor did she
talk about when she really did get
started. At the point where Celestia
began another would have been half
through. She plunged right into tho
heart or things with compelling sweet
BILE.
Gestures as a rule are not to illumi-
nate what Is being said. but either to
draw attention from the awkwardness
and lack of poise of the speaker, or as
an outlet to superfiuous energy for
which there is no room in the channels
of speech.
For the most part Celestia stood with
her hands lightly clasped behind her
back. She rarely made a gesture of
any sort, and never a gesture which
for one moment drew attention from her
words, her voice or indeed her beauty
In that crowd of gilded listeners only
moved.
Mary Blackstone had an inkling of the
secrets concerning Celestia. She knew
that her own father would not profess
to believe voice that had suddenly
risen among the people unless 1t was
to his interest to do so. And, when
not only her father professed belief but
the man to whom she was engaged
and such colossi of the business world
as Barclay and Sturtevant. Mary, in
the telling American phrase began to
smell a rat"
II 1t was to their advantage to believe
1t was also to hers. Nevertheless, Celes-
tia's arguments and magnetism only
served to stiffen Mary's understanding
into opposition. For 1t is almost an
axiom that to those whom we hate we
are never of easy persuasion.
But the other hearts in that audience
went out TO Celestia. She gathered
hearts as Ellen Terry used to, as Madame
ones, these felt the privilege Of having
been among the first to realize that a
new day might very we'll be about to
dawn upon a dark world. Men and
women there were present who highly
resolved that never. never would they
do so and so again. Some kept their
resolutions for several days; others for
long periods of time. Merely the inten-
tion of living more wisely and more
righteously Is not perhaps enough. but

CHAPTER XXI.

That SO great and conservative a man
as Barclay should lend the promise
of his backing to the doctrines and
tenets Of Celestia aroused extraordinary
interest all over the country. and even
in England and on the continent.
In New York. Barclay was not only
a financial. but a social, leader Once
a year he gave a great ball, to which
everybody who was invited went, unless
sickness or some other major cause had
laid them by the heels. But 1t Is not
here a question of Barclays great ball
Those who looked levelly at him or up
to him in a social way felt that he had
set the stamp Of approval on the girl
from heaven, and burned to know her.
Celestia was showered with invita-
tions. most Of which she declined. But
she did not decline them all. 1t was her
duty, she felt. to convert to her cause.
all sorts and conditions of men and
women. the man who had been born
with golden spoon in his mouth and
the man who had been raised with a
revolver in his hip pocket.
Now. although Celestia moved on a
calm level Of democracy, loving almost
all men alike. she found in the ways
and houses of the rich more opportuni-
ties to be amused and joyous than in
the houses of the poor. II the rich
were worthless as a class. she had to
admit their cleverness in concealing 1t.
And many Of them she could not but
believe were in love with righteousness.
They feted her and made much of her.
She was asked to speak in the ball
room of a great house overlooking Cen
trail Park. The invitation to do so was
instigated by Mary Blackstone, but Ce-
lestia did not know this, and the name
signed to the note of invitation was one
which tempted her to accept. 1t was a
name which above all others stood in
the opinion of the man In the street
for all that Is richest and most foolish.
To this function. Tommy Barclay was
among those invited (all part of Mary
Blackstone's plan), but. though he
yearned to be wherever Celestia was, in
spite of their latest quarrel. he was too
busy tramping the streets of New York
In search of a job to accept. Mary mad
hoped that among those to the manner
born, Celestia, in spite of her genuine
good looks and magnetic voice would
appear insignificant If not impossible.
She was doomed to disappointment.

Ince Rushes to the

The motion picture families that
have sprung up during the last year
seems to run In sets of threes. There
are Mary and Lottie and Jack Pick

Is becoming a really big thing with
john and Ralph and Tom to repre-
sent it-more particularly Tom.
The 1nce family tree is one Of the
big powers behind the screen rather
than In front of 1t. It has blossomed
with directors of extraordinary
powers. John Ince. with the Lubin
Company. put out things like The
Battle Of Shiloh" and THE Road of
strife" serial. For the VitaRraph
Company Ralph Ince produces pic
lures like THE Goddess" and other
things with big effects. But 1t is in
the person of Tom Ince with his New
York Motion Picture Corporation
companies that the public finds the
real impressionist Of the photoplay.

several actors and stage managers
Tor the theater. Tom Ince was a
stage director and a vaudeville actor
oefore he became interested in the
pictures. And Tom Ince's interest in
mouon pictures has been rather like
tne cyclones interest in a house
that stands in it's way. He has pick

1ects that Ince shows his greatest
ability. He desires to paint his pic
lures In broad. slashing colors. II
was he who. tired of battles and
mobs. dramatized successfully an
He put these two convulsions Of ma
ture SO boldly and BADLY on the
screen that they seemed almost per-
feet in detail
And now Ince is devoting himself
to the upbuilding Of the Western
picture upon the ruins of the struc-
impractical and Incompetent direc-
tors Of the earlier cowboy films,
that 1t fell with such a crash OF
PUBLIC disfavor It was thought Il

1nce thinks differently. His West

they are getting better and better.
