Here is a list •n whose life I have rtames of some of the glad you approve. However, there is one problem which has given me considerable trouble.” Here the agent pulled out a small piece of paper with only one name written on it. The name was Mr. Up right Goodman. “What seems to be the trouble with this Mr Goodman? Won’t he follow your suggestions?” “Absolutely not. He refuses every opportunity to stray away from his saintly path, and what is more discouraging, he seems to gain strength with ever}" refusal.” “Hmmm. Have you tried tempt ing him with offers of money?” asked the Devil. “Yes, that was the first at tempt,” sighed the young agent. “And what happened?” asked the Head of Hades. “He had the nerve to refuse all my wonderfully shady propositions to make a fortune on the irrevelant and immaterial grounds that a clear conscience and peace of mind were more important than money.” “Disturbing, very disturbing,” muttered the Devil, “but did you KELLY JOHNSON the agent, relaxing .riTd > "’orthless land.

Mr. Scratch, I’m him That always worked before,” stated the Devil very confidently. “I know, but it didn’t in this case. Mr. Goodman refused to have even one little drink with me because he said he had heard liquor had the ability to impair one’s fac ulties and his were bad enough sober. He also said that it was too expensive for a poor man like him to afford.” “This is a highly irregular case. Give me a day to think it over and then come back and I will give you the answer,” said the Satan. The agent left and the Devil began to think. He thought through the evening and into the night. At last he came up with an idea. If the agent could get Mr. Goodman to begin to think that he (Goodman) was so righteous that he could do no wrong, then they would have him where they could handle him easily. When the agent returned, the Devil outlined his plan and wished him luck. The agent was given two months in which to carry out the plan. At the end of this time he was to report on his success or failure think of using any of my talented array of women?” “That was my third unfortu nate attempt. I tried, in the subt lest sort of way, to get Mr. Up right to fall for one of the women in your employment and follow her to a permanent abode in our warm sanctuar}'.” “Cut out the flower}’ language and tell me what happened,” snapped the Devil. “Well, Mr. Goodman said the woman of his dreams must be sweet, gentle and kind. Since none of your women had any of these qualities the scheme was a miser able failure.” The Devil busied himself with other projects and did not notice that the flow of “customers” was slowing up from Mr. Deceiver’s section, but when they completely stopped he began to worry. Then w’hen the agent failed to keep his owm appointment, the Devil really become worried. After waiting for some time, he sent one of his pupils to investigate. The pupil re turned and reported that he could not find Mr. Deceiver, but that a person who called himself Mr. Reformed had given him a message to give to Satan. The Devil opened the letter which read simply: Dear Devil, “What about the old stand-by of turning a person to drinking by having a few social drinks with Your plan failed, my plan failed, so if you can’t heat them, join them.
