CHAPTER TWO.

AIAS ~
There was about John Smith somS
lndeflnable thing which other men did
not have, a tenseness and swift force
lhat made him seem the White fire OF
life. He famed through his day He
dcmlnated dinner tables in the eve
nings. The quick turn of his head, the
flash of his black eyes, the strong, fast
movements Of his hands, the sureness
OF his stride-these were the unmistak-
bic, Haunting banners that caught the
eye and drew attention to the master
fut spirit Of the man. He was brilliant.
Ihere had been born in him a marvel
ious faculty for stripping from a situa-
ton all eXtraneous and inconsequental
facts so that he might see, and make
others see, the s~tark-naked. figure OF
an issue, a truth. The most striking
thing about him was his confidence,
his final conviction that what he pro-
lutely alien to doubt. And, while he de-
voted himself to q serious work, a ire
task, he was alert, sparkling.
dis mind was electric. Physically he
was like wires. Tail. thin, broad of
shoulder n narrow of thigh, he per-
petually was strung taut. His reserve
energy never was exhausted.
He had come to Washington early in
the preceding May to conduct a fight
Which made the young laugh and the

Albus Should Haze
Stayed in Church;
He Can Get Crowd

Frank Albue, secretary Of the Com.
mercial club. doesn't know very much
about the geography OF Wayne county,
but as Red Cross speaker he IL 100
per cent efficient.
Albus was scheduled to speak at
Dublin Sunday afternoon, and took
traction car which he was assured
would land him in that town. Being
busy in conversation with soldier in
the car, he asked the conductor when
he would reach Dublin. and found that
the town was mile and a half back
on the line.
Burdened with an overcoat, which
for some unaccountable reason he had
taken along. the secretary set out on
the return journey.
TIL two, when the meeting was to
start, found the church deserted, and
began ringing the bell az signal of
the approaching meeting.
When he stopped ringing the church
was crowded with Dublin people
anxious to hear about the work Of the
Red Cross.
Having been educated for the Epis-
copalian ministry, Albus is good
speaker. and he presented the cause
OF the Red Cross in SO forceful man
ner that Dublin, thoroughly aroused,
organized for her work at once, and
it was to be done.
Albus also spoke at Fountain City,
Sunday evening.
