"1t's an imposition on you to be
annoyed by the differences that
grow out of this fight"
She was relieved immensely by
Mannersley's departure.
"Nothing about it annoys me-"
she said seriously. Sometimes l
wish l could help-the fight"
He looked gratified.
"You have, tremendously" he
told her. EVERY time / talk with
you, you give me new inspira-
tom
He sprang out Of his chair, with
one of his sudden movements, and
leaned against the mantel.
THAT sounds trite and made
quate," he supplemented; "but
it's more than true"
"I'm glad" she answered,
looking up to him for a moment.
II like it, really-the atmosphere

He made no comment on that,
although she waited for it: She
looked up to him again, the hint
of reproach in her eyes.
"You KNOW" she suggested, ~

He stood up straight and re-
turned her glance for a moment.
when she looked away from him
to the fire, he paced the length of
the room and back again with his
quick, swinging stride.

CHAPTER THREE.

Edith Mallon, a few hours after
telling Mrs. Griswold Kane it was
enough to know that John Smith
was a great man, sat before a slow
fire in the parlor of the big house
in Massachusetts, Avenue and went
over in her mind that first talk
with him in which he suddenly, al
most brusquely, had avoided ex-
planning in detail his for
supporting the cause of prohibi-
ton so ardently.
His real reason she thought
to herself "that is what l would
like to know, above all things. 1t
is what he has never told me. l
wonder why"
Since then he had seen her fire.
quentlv, and he had established
himself as a national figure. His
speeches before the committees of
the House and Senate having con-
troll of legislation affecting the
liquor question had been carried
verbatim i'll the newspapers and
had found a tremendous response
from the country. His gift for or
ganization had been of meal
culable aid to the prohibitionists.
And, most of all, his logic, his
presentation of the question to in
dividual congressman, and his in
cessant industry in every phase of
the agitation for the movement he
represented, had brought it to the
front in public affairs. There was
nobody, on either side Of the con-
troversy, to deny now that it was
no longer a moribund matter. The
fire of his spirit had breathed
quick life into it and set it in mo-
ton.
"There u.s. he had told her
more than once, $50 terrific a SEN
timent throughout the country
against whisky and it's evils that,
if ever the constitutional amend
ment is put to a vote, it will get
far more than the -two-thirds ma
jority required in the House and
Senate to pass it. OF course there
will follow the more or less te-
dions work Of getting the state
legislatures to vote for the amend
ment after it is authorized. But

vor, THAT neither of the great po-
}itical parties in this country has
ever had the sense or the courage
to come out for prohibition? Why
doesn the party thats III power
now come out for it? We hear a
lot of stuff about the evil corpor-
ations grinding down the masses
of the people. We read whole col
umns every day about the high
cost of living. the education of the
young, and a world peace. We are

for this constitutional amendment
