Within a week after the affair at the
graveyard the village gossips gathered at the
inn to talk the scandal over. The con-
stable meekly occupied seat in the rear of
the room. The landlady, Mrs. Atword,
leaned on the bar of the tap-room and add
dressed the gossips: "Sam Hood, where is

you that Pharoah did not know you had
some of his Hibses tail feathers. He'd

| All these towns were wide open,
and Mac knew he would have his
hands full. but in the first two he
never lost sight of her until she had
retired for the night, and in this
way kept her from nosing" around
alone. As il was she almost was
arrested for pulling a cigarette out
of the sheri!f's mouth and throwing
| il away on the main street.
The last town to be played was
mining town, full of booze and
buster. and this Saturday was pay
day. Carrie had been quiet so
long that Mac could see that she
was growing restless, so he longed
for the end. The other nights had
been big money makers and every
seat was sold for this one. Finan-
cially it was gold mine venture,
but Mac could see the wrinkles
coming.
On the way to the theatre he had
hard work TO keep her from going
into saloon and dance hall and she
said: We'll, | certainly will go
in there when | get through talk
ing" AMI she meant it.
After he had settled up with the
local manager Mac went back on
the stage and caught Mrs. Nation
just as she vas preparing to leave
the theatre. AS he had expected
she was determined on making a
round" and wanted to get out be-
fore he came after her. He told
her that she would have to go to
the hotel at once, or accept settle.
ment there, as he was going to take
the first train back home. She
protested but he insisted, so she
took her share, gave him a receipt
in full, babe him regretful, yes a
sincerely regretful good bye, and
he vanished, catching the train a
few minutes afterward.
True to her word she did make a
round of the dives, not one day but
she remained III that town for a
week trying IN her peculiar way TO
reform 1t. So enthusiastic was she
that Bob couldn't go back there
with safety for year or more.

to the box-office to count and re-
ceive the cash.
The lecture was remarkably good.
Mrs. Nation was fluent speaker,
aud everybody who has heard her
or met her will bear me out in say
ing she was earnest and consciep-
tious in everything she said, so
that the crowd was well pleased.
But now for the funny part of
the tale-the part that almost drove
Robert MacGregor "daffy''-as he
afterwards said.
Following the lecture, Mac ac-
com panied Mrs. Nation to her no.
tel in the carriage and placed five
bright shining $40 gold pieces in
her hand and took her receipt for
same, which, by the way, he still
prizes as a reminder of an exciting
epOcu III HIS career.
Having finished the business
transaction Mac asked when she ex-
pected to leave town.
We'll, | really can't say" re-
piled Mrs. Nation. You know my
manager has left me and have no
immediate engagements, so might
just as well stay here awhile, or at
least until have arranged for the
future"
Macs heart sank into his boots.
He could see pictures of first class
saloon smashing excursion right
then and there, but his astonish-
ment was not half as great as when
Mrs. Nation suggested that be take
up the reiDs laid down by Furlong
and become her manager.
Il have seen enough of You to
know that yon are honest and know
your business, Mr.. MacGregor,"
said she. and if you agree will
give you a salary and half the rev.
enue derived"
Mac explained to her that his
business associations would not per-
NIT his acceptance of the offer at
that time, much as he regretted it.
CLiar," he said to himself.)
But now, Mrs. Nation, | know
you are tired and need rest, and |
will leave you. | don't suppose
you will leave the hotel tonight
will you? Why | ask, have prom
ised the representatives of the local
papers that you would meet them
here at 8 o'clock, providing it met
with your consent and conven-
ience."
That's very kind of you. No, l
shall not 90 out tonight
Thank the Lord for that" and
he hurried away.
AS [ said before, the town was
wide open, and Mac purposely made
the arrangement for the newspaper
boys to meet her SO as to preclude
any possibility of her getting out
and stirring things up, thinking
that she'd be leaving early the next
morning.
AS he was going down the street
he was hailed by an Irish saloon
keeper named Quinn. who called
him into his well-kept drinking
parlor and said:
Lux here Mae. couldn't We wurk
little scheme on the quiet and
get Carrie Nation to come in here
tomorrow mornin' and raise some
excitement? I'll give We $40 if

view.
Boys" said Mac, hold open
space Oh the first page for scorch-
er,'-I feel it coming.
Mrs. Nation got off the car after
the church services, several blocks
from the hotel, thinking little
walk would do her good. Her
route took her past at least dozen
saloons. and as she came to the first
she shifted the air and followed the
scent. which led her through the
side door and into the bar room
crowded with men and ladened with
tobacco smoke. Going up to the
bar she pounded loudly theron
with her little Ratchet.
Young man. she shouted to the
bar tender, don't you know you're
going straight to hell, and sending
all these lovely men and boys there
too?'
She said whole lot more which
| will not attempt to repeat, but the
result was, that such mob gather
ed that the police came, and they
in turn gathered Carrie in and
took her to the station.
Mac was sitting at his desk when
the chief of police called him by
phone and asked him to come to
headquarters at once: Your eye
clone Is here" said he.
He hurried to the chiefs office and
there she sat serene and smiling:
We'll, here | am Mr.. MacGregor,''
she said.
so | see," said Mac with a
laugh. What's wrong?'
Arrested for merely telling a
man it was wrong to sell grog."
Did you smash or attempt to de-
stroy anything?' asked Mac.
Not a thing" replied she.
The chief called Mac aside and
said that he had not filed coIu-
plant against her. but merely
wanted her to understand she would
have 70 stay out of saloons. Mac
said We'll, I'll be responsible for
her tonight, but after tonight my
responsibility ceases so he es-
corted Mrs. Nation back to the
hotel IN a cab.
Next day he called upon her and
she was still undecided when she'd
leave town. That night she went
to the revival meeting again, and
again was arrested for disturbing
the peace and dignity of the town
by attracting crowds who followed
her from one saloon to another
through the business district.
Mac saw at once something des-
perate had to be done. The Mayor,
for the first time in history held a
session of police court at midnight
so that she would not have to re-
main at headquarters all night. Mac
himself, appeared as her council,
much to- the amusement of the crowd
and especially the officials. The
mayor whispered to him that he'd
discharge her if he'd promise to get
her out of town next day.
God knows, I'll try" replied
Mac. So she was allowed to go
with him again.
In his desperation, he wired
theatre managers IN three towns
down state offering to book Carrie
Nation on on 80 per cent basis or
guarantee of $3.50. He had in the
meantime arranged with Mrs. Ma
ton to take half. Imagine his sur.
prise the next morning at receiving
favorable replies from all of them
He had only hoped for, and only
wanted one, just one to get her of
his hands; but here he was now
forced to be her manager for three
