"But | merely wanted to tel
you," concluded the Man Who
Could Handle 1t, "that nobody
can handle it. TIN get you in the
long run Or the short. The shorter
the better. 1t may take a month
or it may take 10 year. but
some fine morning you wake
up and lind your master right
there at the side of the bed, and
he reaches out and puts his cold,
clammy fingers around your
throat and leads you to the bottle.
When that happens, my friend,
it's all over but the shouting. You
belong to the saloons or the club
bars, and you wonder when the
undertaken will come along and be
kind to you and bury you. You
hope it will be soon, but it never
comes quite soon enough. The
stuff You could handle, handles
you quite thoroughly. 1t intro
duces you to the death-in-life." He
made an elaborate bow. "Remem-
Der me. You can't forget me.
You'll see me every day, every
where-the Man Who Could Han
die It."
He turned on his. heel and went
down the street without a back
ward glance. Smith, looking up to
the sky, wondered how long it had
been since the Man Who Could
Handle 1t had been able even to
realize that there were nights
when the moon hung in a silver
sash.
That was a hard night for the
agitator. His Office force, work.
ing overtime every night now,
went home at II. He stayed on
until IL, laboring with his work,
fighting desperately against de-
preston, denying himself to all
callers and telephone calls.
A few minutes past. midnight
Waller came in and reported:

Since a visitor to Florida discovered
that pine needles made excellent nests
for hens. driving away vermin and fur
nishing an added inducement to the
fowl to lay eggs. the pine trees discard
has acquired a commercial value.
Farmers have used the needles for bed
ding stock, making hens nests and
covering tender plants in winter for
years, but they never regarded them
as Of any value commercially. A short
time ago a northern nal purchased
three tons. Shortly after the shippers
were surprised to receive a check for
S54 at the rate Of $18 a ton. News OF
the sale soon spread throughout the
section, n now many .able-bodied
men who have no other occupation

been started in supplying the demand

The agitator's first thought the
following morning was Of a wom-
ans figure leaning toward him in
q doorway and swaying ike a reed
in the flow of heavy waters. And
Immediately upon that. came the
picture OF her as she had stood the
day before, grieved but valiant.
He put the image Of her out Of his
mind, his effort in doing so being
as direct and palpabie as if he had
tried to lift a tremendous weight
with his right arm.
/ While, he dressed and break.
tasted in his rooms, Ire looked at
the headlines in the Washington
and New York papers which were
brought to. him every morning.
There it was before him the story
Of himself, his confession and def
sance, Mary Leslie's story, all
topped with the big lcttered head
lines that ran anywhere from two
columns wide to the breadth Of the
whole front page. His photograph
and Mary Leslie were repro
duced by each paper.

StOIv anu HeF cOUIO no
command belief. Others had bull
their lead on Smith contention
that, if her story were true, i
merely proved the righteousness
of his fight against whisky. One o
the New York papers ran an edi
torial on the matter sounding I
ringing alarm against anybody
weakening in support Of him al
such a critical time i'm the move
ment.
Thinking gratefully that the
world was very kind, he was lay
ing down a paper when his eye
caught the Shanghai date line
Evidently, from the small space
given to the dispatch, it had como
! in too late to permit Of it's being
displayed largely.
There was, it said, a house with
the red-lacquered balcony on the
Foochow road, as Mary Leslie had
described it.
There was a Portuguese, Charlie
by name, who owned it, and now,
since the opium trade had been
discontinued, conducted it as a
restaurant.
The Portuguese was not rich in
details. His memory was vague.
But he remembered a wild Ameri-
can named Gardner and a woman
who used to be seen with him. He
did not know whether they were
married.
There had not been time, when
the cablegram was written, to
make any other Investigation, in
the official records or elsewhere,
regarding the alleged marriage.
He was reading the dispatch for
tie third time when "a bellboy
brought him a note. The envelope
had not been stamped. 1t had been
left, late the night before, the boy
explained, with directions that it
should be delivered to him early
in the morning.
On a sheet of notepaper was
written:
You are your own tomorrow.
1t was signed edith Mallon."
His brain -reeled. The memory
of her standing in the doorway,
the fragrance of her hair the day
she had stood close to him on the
edge Of the river, the thought of
her brave sweetness-these things
came as a blessed relief from the
momentary but deep depression he
had felt after reading the cable
gram from Shanghai. He got up
and raised one Of the windows SO
that he might breath the fresh air.
He drank it into his lungs in great
gulps. A group Of photogra-
piers stood on the pavement be-
low, waiting for snapshots Of him
as he started to his office on what
everybody regarded as the deci-
sive day in his career. He under
stood some of that.
He thrust Edith's note into his
pocket and put on his overcoat
and hat.
As he left the room, he was
forcing through his brain thu. tri-
umphant thought: "This is the
day! This is the fight!'
It was as if he called his own
soul to arms.
Once in his office, he became the
storm center Of the country's DO
litical thought that day. Waller,
with both hands full Of kilograms,
met him in the reception room.
Smith did not know it, but the
newspaper man had had only two
hours Of sleep.
"You don't have to read Them 2
Waller said, the drawl in his voice
not hiding his elation. They're
all good-all for us.,"
This earlyio Smith was sur-
prised.

Smith gave him a swift, kee1

"And no other kindi'
ooh, Of course, some," Waller
replied, his enthusiasm undated
but, SO far, we re sweeping the
towns and outlying districts!"
The agitator sat down at his
desk and opened the first of the
letters that had been placed there
for him.
Cholliewollie looked at him q
moment in undisguised wonder.
Say! What is this you re cx.
hibiting, real nervess Or are you
just numb and can't Think"
"Whyi"
Here you are, up against the
hottest, bitterest fight in the world
and you sit down to read your

"What else is there to do?''
Smith inquired, cycling him seri-
ously.'
Don't you want to read the
telegrams?"
IF / did that, I'd put in the
whole day at it"
One Of the stenographers
brought in a new batch of yellow
envelopes.
"You see," he added.

mitted. "But can't you show some
nervousness, some excitement"

affection.

are. Believe me, l am. And I'm

All that evening Waller, gath

the dispatches that came ii from
the press associations and the pa.
per's correspondents. From every
city came the news that John
Smiths name had lit the fires of
enthusiasm. The Office boy went
in and out, piling up the details Of
the. story. 1t seemed to Waller that
the spirit of the agitator rushed
from city to city. through that
marvellous winter night. With his
actual physical eye he could see
