About this time Stilliter, Barclay and others who are working to gether, decide It is time to make use ol Celestia, who has been trained to thins of herself as divine and come from heaven. The first place they send her is to Bitumen, a mining town, where the 4ooal miners are on a strike. 'ommy has gone there, too, and Mrs. Gunsdorf, wife the miners’ leader, falls in love with him and denounces him to the men when he spurns her. Celestia saves Tommy from being lynched, and also settles the strike by winning over Kehr, the agent of the s, and Barclay, sr.

The first was that there was another entrance to the cave, known only to Prof. Stilleter, and the other is but told perhaps in Tommy's own words. It was a plece of knowledge that came to him suddenly out if a clear sky, or should we say a dark cave. He stood stock still and swore twice. Then he sald to himself: “What a confounded blithering idiot T am. All I had to do was to tell her to wake up, to come out of her trance, to be herself, and she would have obeyed.

Advice to Lovelorn U Dear Migé Fairfax: I am 2 years old and recently through an older man friend of mine met a young lady three years| y senior, who {s married. this lady is alone at home most of the time, her husband being a traveling man, she in- vites me over repeatedly on the plea that she is lonesome. In response I have often gone to her| home to spend an evening with her. Al- though our relations are most r 1 have a doubt fn my mind if it s prudent for me to contipue to visit her and there- fore ask you for advice, “EDWIN," A man of fine feelings ought not to permit a married woman to entertain him in her husband's Lome during his absence. You put yourself in a humiliat- ing position and reflect on the dignity of both husband and wife. If these meetings ocour without the knowledge of the hus- band, that of itself puts you in an abso- lutely wrong light.

Unfortunately the wheels of fortune do not seem to be going my way, 1 in- formed her that I could not take her time up any longer. She is sweet and sensible and is only 15; yet when this explanation was given to her she explained that her valuable time had been taken up.

The girl had a tender heart and the man’'s woolng woke In her a gentle emotion she fancied to be deep and enduring love. She had a sweet voloe and she began to devote herself to cultivating it. Suf- fering had put a tender strain into her singing, and work and determination helped her forge ahead.
