The first place they send her is to Bitumen, & mining town, where the coal miners are on a strike. Tommy has gone there, too, and Mra. Gunsdorf, wife the miners’ leader, falls in love with him and denounces him to the men when he spurns her. Celestia savea Tommy from being lynched, and also setties *he strike by winning over Kehr, the agent of the bosses, and Barclay, sr.

Freddie takes Celestla to find Tommy, and Stil- liter builds a fire to attract assistance. The fire spreads and he flees before it falls into a lake and drowns. Tommy and Crlestia return to New York, where they find Sturdevant telling a big meeting that Celestia has returned to heaven FIFTEENTH EPISODE.

At one time it looked as If they were going to get the fire undes control. In that event they could have képt the vessel afloat indefinitely. Captain Nyo had suggested bringing Gunsdorf on deck and putting him to work, and the effort had been made, The man was disarmed as he came up, wet to the knees and choking with smoke. But at the sight of Barclay all his hate returned. He would not work; they couldn’t make him. “Why the hell should I,” said he, “when I took the trouble to bore the holes that are sinking it, and to start the fire that's burning it,” All regarded the man with horror that was akin to awe, Anger succeeded this. “Is that the truth?” asked Captain Nye. es. Captain Nye motioned to his two men. They seized Gunsdorf, and after a short struggle east him back into his prison and battered down the hatch. ““There’s no room for him in the small boat,” sald Captain Nye; “and there's no more mischief he can do down below.’ It was only the fatigue of those who were trying to save it that eventually sottled the fate of the Mary Nye. Her captain called the party together. “Thanks, all hands,” he sald. “You've done all men could do. We'll need what strength we've got left to get us ashore. So let it burn.” The boy, who had been at the wheel ever since the discovery of the fire, was relieved by Captain Nye. The boy promptly lay down on the deck, and the others followed suit, resting themselves against the time of embarking in the small boat. At last the moment came when Captain Nye thought best to abandon his ship. His eyes filled with tears. “Don’t grieve, captain,” said Barclay; “I'll pay you its value five times over. You're a good man.” As they were about to step boat that bumped along side, into the but little below the level of the sinking deck, Bar- | ; said curtly, “I cant leave Gunsdort to die like that.” He himself unfastened the hatch, Guns- dorf had climbed upon the ladder to keep out of water as long as possible. They had to lift him into the boat. It rode very low in the water and rolled ecariously when it bad drifted out of lea of the doomed schooner,” and th when it hit the rougher water it rolled quibtly over and floated bottom up.

Over the inverted bows Barclay crawled out of the water and lay sprawling on the arched, slippery bottom of the boat. From this advantageous position he looked about eagerly to see whom he could help. Of that whole party only Barclay and the boy could swim. Stur- devant and Semmes, if they ever came to the surface, were never seen agaim by mortal eyes. The boy swam to the boat and climbed up on it, with Barclay's help. Then, for the first time, Barcley saw the agonized face of Gunsdorf. The THE BEE: er Created.

His two men came to the surface, came together, clinched and died, each trying to use the other as a ladder by which to clinth out of the water. Barclay looked for awhile coldly into Gunsdorf's face, and then looked away. ¥9For God's Bate, help me.."

Holding tightly to Gumsdorf's hand, he still managed to keep the anarchist's head out of water, All this Tommy and Celestia saw from the top of the cliffs.

PARKHURST. Something printed in this column of |The Bee has Induced a young HRus- slan to write me a letter requesting advice as to his course of study. Thrown upon his own re- | sources at the age of of 15, he left home and came fo New | York. The venture- someness of the boy shows that there 1s stuff in him, and renders him deserv- ing of whatever can be given him in the way of friendly ad- wvice and encourage- ment. As there are others more or less in the same situa~ tion as he, it has occurred to me to make The Bee the medium af communicating with him. Thus far he has made good. Immedi- ately on arriving in this country a situa- tion was given him sufficlently remuner- ative to keep him alive. The fidelity with which he served his employer secured him the privilege of dlviding his time between work and study, for he writes me that he very soon discovered that he couid not make a success of his life here | without an education.

There are tew exceptions to'the rule that a person | will'succeed if he shows that he deserves to succeed. The particular matter that occasions my young correspondent difficulty, and upon which he asks my advice, is as to his cholce of what he calls his profession, by which he means the sort of work that he_shall fit himself for in order to earn a living. He tells me that those he has consulted evade the question by saying: Jse your own judgmant.” But the fact is that at the age of 17 he i3 not supposed to be far enough along to have a judg- | ment that he can use. The fact that he has been able to carry himself to the close of the third term In the high school would seem to indicate that by the exercise of the same pluck and faithfulness he will be able to keep on for at least a year or two longer before any final decision as to his life-work will have to be made. The most important thing for him to obtain s “a good ready.” With his natural | prsh he will get along all right it he is thoroughly grounded in the common Eng- lish branches, He says that he is already a good arithmeticlan.

The heroic, but futile efforts that have been made to simplify the speliing of English words is enough to convince in- telligent observers that language is an exceedingly determined and stubborn thing. Changes can be developed In the slow process of time, but they cannot be legislated or forced, and a few ambitious authors have boen for years spelling the word “though” with three letters with- out its having produced the slightest impression upon even 1 per cent of those who write, Then as to the matter of a universal language the fact to be that the language a man uses reflects the character and peculiaritiea of the man himself. On a still broader scale the languaxe of an entire people reflects the character and pecullarities of that people. 18 homo, its remembered is neous, has its special ideas and own pecullar point ot view and its distinctive qualities of understasding and appreciation, and 1s under the necessity of giving to Its that corresponds In style.
