This 1- tht story of u. man man- ! arr, and how ho h'ld hU own until j tho Vftrv l.it barncrranh. I fca.d It Iron Sully Mapoon. vlve voce. The words arc indeed hla; and if they do not cor.stitutu truthful fiction my memory whouid he J nolnt t.ir.ca witn mo Maine.

Now, the man manager fl will ouoto Sully) is a Cae-r without a Jirtituf. He is nn nutoTit without responsibility, a player who Imperils

no stake of hi. H own. His c.fhce is to'0jc enact, to re erberate, to boom, to ua,

expand, to outcoruscate profitably. If he ran. Hill-paying and growing i ray hairs over results blonr: to his principals. It Is his to guide the risk, to I the apotheosij of front, th- three. tailed bafhaw ff bluff, the essential oil of I:az7.!e-dazzle. We wit at luncheon, and Kuly Magoon told me. I asked for particulars. "My oM friend Denver Galloway was a Lorn manager." paid Sully. "Ho ?.rl saw the light of day in New York at three years of age. He was born In Pittsburg, but his parents movo east the third summer afterward. "When Ionver crrew UT he went ir.tu the managing bu-Ines. At tho .ig. or eignt n managea a new.s-.-taml for th I)ar;n that owned it. After that he was manager at different limes of y skating-rink, a livery-stable, h pol!e came, a restaurant, a dancing acamedy. a walk;ir match, a burlesques cfmpany, a dry-goods Htore, a drvn hotels and summer resorts, an insurance company, and a district leader's campaign. That campaign, when Couchllu was elected on the east side, tave Denver r boost. It cot him a job as manager of a Broadway hotel, and for a while he managed Sen. O'Grady's campaign in the 19th. "Denver was a New Yorker all nvr. I think he was out of the city j;.t twice before the time I'm going to tell you about. Once he went rabbit-shooting In Yonkers. The

other time I met him Just landing j for to have somebody els to put in rn a North river ferry. 'Been out I up the money and look after the rewest on a big trip. Stilly. oM boy.' he j pairs and the police and taxes while said. 'Gad! Stilly, I had no Idea o . I run the business. I never had a ba l such a big country. It's im- ! dollar of my own invented In my men.se. Never conceived of the mag- life. I wouldn't know how it felt to üü'.cenct of the wet before. It'rf , have the dealer rake in a coin of u'oregous and glorious and infinite. ; mine.

I want California and lown to Mexico j to be manager of something way a'ld up through Alaska, so I sits; like a railroad or a diamond trust .'o'.vn with Denver for a chat about the things he paw. -

" 'Took In the Yoscmlte, vut there. . f course? I asks. "'Well no,' says Demer. 'I don't think so. At least, 1 den't reeolkct if. You tee. I only had three days. .Mi l I didn't gf t any farther west than Yougvtown, O." "About two years ago I dropped into Nca- York with a little fly-pa-;.. r proposition about a Tennessee mica mine that 1 wanted to spread out in a nice, s-unny window, in the hopes of i atchinir .a few. I was oming out of a printing shop one afternoon with a hatch of fire, sticky prospectuses when I ran a;:aJnst Denver coming around a earner. I never saw him looking so Touch like a. tiger-lily. He was as beautiful and new as a trellis of .sweet i'ea.s. and as rollicking as a i irinet solo. We shook hands, and he asked me what I was doing, and I Kave him the outlines of the canlal I w;ij trying to create In mica. " 'looh. pooh! for your mica! sas Denver. 'Don't you know better. Sully, than to bump tip against tieoffers of little old New York with anything a.s transparent as mica'.' Now, you come with me over to the Hotel Urunswlck. You're Just the man I wa.s hoping for. I've g.t -omethlng there in s pia and curled hair that I want you to look at.' " 'You putting up at the limnsw ick ?' I asks. " 'Not ft cent,' says Denver. herful.

'When I took charge, nays he, 'nobody nor nothing ever stopped at rite Urunswlck. The clock over the I-rks desk usd to run for weeks without winding. A man fell dad with heart-disease on the sidewalk m front of It one day, and when they went to pick him up he was two blocks away. I figured out a .-chemo to catch th?

Sometn'.n,. ! goes on Denver, - 'like the way they've treated Ilobson nnd Carrie Nation in our own country, so tne general had to flee. Rut he was thoughtful enough to bring along his role. He's got sinews of war enough to buy a battleship and float her off in the christening fluid." " 'What chance has he got to be president ?' " 'Wasn't I just giving you his rating?' says Denver. 'His country is one of the few In South America where the presidents are elected bypopular ballot. The general can't go there just now. It hurts to be shot against a wall. He needs a campaign manager to go down and whoop things up for him to ge't the boys in line and the new twodollar hills afloat and the babies kissed and the machine in running order. Sully, I don't want to brag, but you remember how I brought Coughlin under the wire for leader of the 19th? Ours was the banner district. Don't you suppose I know how to manage a little monkey-cage of a country like that? Why, with 'the dough the general's willing to turn loose I could put two more coats of Japan varnish on him and have him elected governor of Georgia. New York has pot the finest lot of campaign managers In the world. Sully, and you give me a feeling of hauteur when you cast doubts on my ability to handle the i political situation In a country so small that they have to print the names of the towns in the appendix and foot-notes.' "I argued with Denver some. I told him that politics down in that tropical atmosphere was bound to be different from the 19th district; but j I might just as well have been a congressman from North Dakota trying to get an appropriation lor a lighthouse nnd a coast survey. Denver Galloway had ambitions in the manager line, and what I fald did'nt amount to ns much as a fig-leaf .at the national dressmakers' conveytion. "I'll cive vou three davs to cogitate about going,' suys Denver; 'and I'll introduce you to Gen. Komplro tomorrow, so you can get his ideas drawn right from the rosewood.' "I put on my best receptlon-to-Booker-Washington manner the next day and tapped the distinguished rubber-plant for what he knew. ."Gen. Komplro wasn't so gloomy inside as he appeared on the surface. He was polite enough; and he exuded a number of sounds that made a fair Ptagger at arranging themselves into language.
