FIFTH EPISODE: 3 “You're so good te me,” said Celetin, and she smiled very sweotly, and in the midst of the smile yawned and showed all her boautiful white teeth, and a mo- ment later, laying her head on & cool| allk cushion, she fo) sound asloep. So sleeping whe looked more beautiful than a maiden of this earth, Perhaps| she dreamed that she was back in Leaven, for about hor mouth there | seemed a kind of ocelestial expreesion, “My God! My Godl" exclaimed Mrs, Baxter, ain't she beautiful? And to think that she has to be food for swine." A strong emotion selzed Mrs. Baxter. It was fear, pity and remorse, She wished almost that shé had never j-seen Celestia. Hut not quite, for Mrs, Baxter was a vry practica] woman. “No use crying over spilled mil she murmured. “And now to chnge her into i& traveling drees,” She left the room hurriedly and came back with all that was necessary to Shange Celestia fiom a Greek goddess to an American girl. But her hands would | whake, and it took her some time to find | how Celetia's dress wes fastened, and | longer to undo the fastenings. ! no sooner succeeded than she drew back sharply with a kind of muffled groan. ' Then she looked again, Suspended from Celestia’s neck by a narrow ribbon, was the smallest, oldest, oddest lttle rag doll in the world, T do not know what silent chords in the wicked old woman's heart were touched by the sight of that doll. I only know that she gave a kind of a howl of grief, and then she began to say in a kind of hurried sing-song: “Must hurry—must Hurry—must hurry.” She found the strength to half carry half drag Celestia down the front stairs and to half life, half tumble her into a huge trunk that almost blocked the front hall, Before she closed and locked the trunk, she flung into it the ten one-hun- dred-dollar bills. And then she tried to compose herself against Sweetzer's rival, He was punctual to the minute. Mrs Baxter opened the front door herself. Beyond Sweetser, drawn up at the curb, she could see the express wagon and the trusted porters that he had brought with him. ar- “Eiverything all right?' he whispered. Mrs Baxter closed the door. ‘‘Sweetzer,” she said, ‘“she’s gone.” When I went back with the orangeads #he was gone. She must have smelt a rat, Bweetzer. She must have seen your eyes In the peacock's tail. Sce, I had everything ready; here's the trunk wait- ing for her. Swaotzer looked at the trunk ould think of nothing better to do. “Well, then,” he sald, “how about the housand ?"' Mrs, Baxter simply laughed in his face. How about the gas company you got Je to put up a thousand for?' she sald You give me my thousand and I'll give you yours." “You go to hell,” said Sweetzer, furi- ously, And he tore open the front door «nd marched down the front steps. Mrs. Baxter locked the front door and chained it and then she rat down on the trunk coptaining tia and had a Juxurious fit of hysterics estla woke neither’ sick nor dazed; He Ce but cool-minded and rested, in a broad, cqol bed. Tt was Mrs. Baxter's entrance n tiptoe that had weked her. Mrs. Hakter oarried a tray upon which was n orange, coffee and rolls “You've had a long sleep, dearic How » you feel?

And this example bagan to be followed by those who were nearer to her. Bhe was not angry or frightened, but progress becamne more and more Aiffioult, and she looked this way and that for a way of escape. “The door of a mean little house stood wide open. Furniture was being carried sut of the house, and there was a middle- #ged woman who kept dabbing her eye | with her apron.

In this sat a middle-aged, patient looking, blus-eyed man, his right arm in a sling. At his side stood a protty girl of about the same age as Celestin. “See,” sald Celestin, ‘“‘hero s lots of money.: A good woman gave it to me.
