Tommy is the first to meet Celestial as

Celestia from Stilliter: They hide in the

is proved. Returning to get her. he finds

brought up in a great underground
system of caverns somewhere in the
Adirondacks."

"No other child has ever been

the Inhabitants of Bitumen, dispersed
now, and for the most part drunk,
were electrified by the spectacle of a
snow-white train of cars that pulled
slowly into the station, and was then
backed on to a siding.
Celestial transferred her few be-
longings from her tent to the rear car
of this train. The car ahead was for
Stilliter and certain other managers
and advisers. The next car was the
Office car. The one ahead of that was
for chosen body of select, able and
pampered correspondents.
The snow-white train pulled out of
Bitumen and the whirlwind campaign
began.

because her spirit was weak or her
arm nerveless, nor because the knife
which she carried in her stocking
wasn't long enough and sharp enough
for her purpose. Advantageous op-
portunities for doing the murder and
escaping undetected were rare. She
had had but one, for Celestia was so
surrounded and guarded as a rule that
she was hard to come at. Mrs. Guns
dorf had only had one good chance
She had only failed then because she
had been SO foolish as 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 her best.

Mary's real motive in making the

not entirely clear even to herself.
Above all things she wanted to be
rid of Celestia. The promise of a

brought her definite word Of Celestia's

CHAPTER XXI.

And at that moment there was a
sound Of footsteps just outside the
tent. The feet which made the sound
belonged to Freddie the Ferret. With
his usual good luck he appeared to
have arrived in the very nick of time
Professor Stilliter was not at that
time to receive the kiss for which his
greedy mouth was waiting.

voice.

Quences.
1t was on the afternoon Of the next
day that Barclay, Sturtevant and
Semmes came to Bitumen with
whole trainload of capitalists, and bid
dable men expert in politics. The en-
tire town-almost the entire town
ship was at the station to meet them.

of the crowd were all sorts Of ban

kehr for Senator.
Every Citizen Stakeholder.
Dividends Instead Of Taxes.
From the station to the stockade,
now wide open, and shorn of it's war
like barbarities, the crowd marched.
When the head Of the procession came
near the tents of Celestia, set back
from the road on a little knoll, it
halted, and every man barred his head
and began to shout her name. The
shouting brought her presently to the
door of the main tent-a slender, girl
ish figure all in white, who waved to
her followers and adorers a white and
slender hand
on them was magical. Threats grew
hoarse with shouting. Then she
backed from their sight into the big
tent, after one last wave of the hand.
And they, because they knew that she
would come to them later in the stock
ade and speak to them and fill their
hearts full of hope and courage, al
lowed her now to withdraw from their
sight, and, after one more minute of
shouting they took up the march once
more, and went roaring toward the
stockade- strikers, late strike
breakers, capitalists, politicians, men,
women and children, all wild now,
with excitement and enthusiasm-the
two most contagious diseases in the
world.
Celestia stood meanwhile in the CEN
ter of the big tent; and she too was
trembling with excitement and en-
thusiasm and the sense of personal
triumph. And she looked so young
and innocent, and beautiful, that for
a moment the frown faded from Tom

from his heart

won't spoil it all now, will you? You'll

"It goes to my heart" said Tommy,

things might go to my head"
