That is what the artist has got to see; and he has got to see that while the Irish Revolution for centuries has attracted the greatest hearts and brains of Ireland, for him carefully to avoid it is to avoid the line of greatness. For a propagandist to sit down to give it utterance would be as if a handy-man were to set out to build a cathedral.
Calloway had been on the paper twelve years. "Try old Heffelbauer," said the m. e. "He was here when Park Row was a potato patch." Heffelbauer was an institution. He was half janitor, half handy-man about the office, and half watchman thus becoming the peer of thirteen and one-half tailors. Sent for, he came, radiating his nationality.
"Don't go so fast, Joe!" Langham cautioned, and his eyes searched the darkness ahead of them. "It's a risky business for you, boss," said the handy-man. "You ain't used to this bridge like me." "Do you always come this way?" asked Langham. "Always, in all seasons and all shapes, drunk or sober, winter or summer," said the handy-man.
In a vain search for the missing handy-man, General Herbert had opened his purse wider than North or even Evelyn realized. There seemed three possibilities in the instance of Montgomery.
The dirt's good enough for me; I got a notion that these here people who are always dippin' themselves are just naturally filthy. Look at me, a handy-man doing all kinds of odd jobs, who's got a better right to get dirty but I leave it alone and it wears off. I'm blame certain you won't find many people that fool away less money on soap than just me!" said Joe with evident satisfaction.
But upon the outbreak of serious hostilities the average warrior in the Shah's service suddenly becomes filled with a wild, pathetic yearning after the peaceful and honorable calling of a katir-jee, an uncontrollable desire to become a humble, contented tiller of the soil, or handy-man about a tchaikhan, anything, in fact, of a strictly peaceful character.
His fears assembled themselves before him like a phantom host. How was he to deal with the handy-man; how would Gilmore have dealt with him? Had the time gone by to bully and bribe, or was that still the method by which he could best safeguard his life? "Say, boss, what they done with young John North?" Montgomery suddenly demanded. "Nothing yet," answered Langham after an instant's pause.
As he had surmised, his old woman was up. She was seated by the table in the corner, engaged in mending the ragged trousers belonging to Joseph Montgomery, junior. At sight of Joe, senior, she screamed and flung them aside; then white and shaking she came weakly to her feet. The handy-man grinned genially. He was not of demonstrative temperament. "Joe!" cried Nellie, as she sprang toward him.
"Well, you were in that alley, Joe; if you feel for him, I expect we could somehow shift it to you!" said Gilmore. The handy-man slouched to the hearth again. "None of that, boss!" he cried. "I've told you what took me there, so none of that!" His voice shook with suppressed feeling, as he stood there scowling down on the gambler. "Sit down, Joe!" said Mr. Gilmore, unruffled.
"I was in White's woodshed," said Montgomery rather sullenly. "Oh, ho, you were up to your old tricks!" "He'll never miss it; I couldn't freeze to death; there's a livin' comin' to me," said the handy-man doggedly. "You'll probably have a try for it back of iron bars!" said Gilmore. But it was plain that Montgomery did not enjoy Mr. Gilmore's humor.
