Of one thing enly she was sure—that she would declds mothing until she was sure that her decision was right. But this begging of the question for the time being did not \seem to have a silencing effect upon Tommy himself.

Also he had been the first to see her, and the first to love her, “Celestia,” he sald to her one day (his hands still in bandages from superficial Burns), ‘4f orly to be logical and con- sistent, you ought to marry me.

When the Ferret had gone out Tommy made one last appeal to Celostia, going very close to her and speaking swiftly n a low volce Bhe heard him out gravely, and at the end of his impassioned pleading shook her head still more gravely. “When 1 know what is right for me to do,” she sald, “then I'll tell you. And what T tell you will be final. There are some debts that people have no right to pay. Perbaps my life, which T owe to you, is such a debt. I don't know. But 1 know this, that if you want to go on seeing me you mustn't make love to me any more. for me to think clearly. Some morning T shall wake up knowing what T ought to do, and if I wake up knowing that 1 ought not to marry you, then, of course I won't.” Tears gathered in her eyes, and she added, “Even though it broke my heart. Now go. “May I come back when I've seen my father?" ‘If youll be good, Tommy.’ S0 Tommy promised, very elaborately and at length, to be good, and In the act of promising broke his promise several times and hurried to see his father. In spite of thelr recent differences of opinion, and Barclay's long serfes of dis- appointments in Tommy, they met with perfect friendliness, and as if there had never been any trouble between them. Parclay opened the conversation with a laughing reference to the Octagon Fire “I used to 100k for your name on, the sporting page of my newnpaper,” he sald, “but now I have to turn to the actounts of socialist meetings and of flres. Waa it as close a shave as the paper made out?’ ‘It certainly was, sald Tommy, “4t wasn't Just twice over; it was five tiniks lover, and 1 didn’t think my beard would |ever grow again.” | “How did the famous Celestia behave?’ “Like a brick, except when she fainted after getting ail the other girls out.” “I am very interested to see her," sald | Barclay, “and to hear he speak. A friend of mine heard her address to the Shirt- makers' union, after the fire, and came away talking like a lunatic, How does she fmpress yo “As a speaker?" Barclay smiled and nodded. blushéd and ala not smile. “She has a beautitil voice” he sald, he seems to speak to one person at a time until everyone has been spoken to. The most interesting part is her power of convincing people. Men whom T have known to have had opposite theories seem to come right around to her way of thinking." “You?' suggested Barclay. “No. She doesn't seem to alter my be- lefs at all.” “She claims to have been sent direct from Heaven. Do people believe that?” “The mass of the people who have heard her don't even question it. Per- sonally I question it very much.

He had built an institution which man ufactured beautiful objects for the home. This was one life work, but he per- formed another. He buflt a philosophy of every day living that made men and women bigger, braver, stronger, better. When he died these men and women sobbed as they had not wept since at the graveside of a parent. .
