Conditions and Tenement Laws in Leading Arnerl-
can Cities Il deals with the twenty-seven largest
American cities. Besides describing the housing
conditions the report contains statement OF the
more important provisions Of the tenement house
laws and building laws. Appended TO the report Is
a comparative table showing the most important
provisions of the different tenement house laws In

II seems that none Of these large American
cities, excepting Boston. Cincinnati. Jersey City

The poor people and working people live generaAy
in small one story or two story houses containing
one or at the most two families In many cities
these houses are often owned by the workingnen

at would be just the way of the
world for those two people to come to
like each other, though" thought the
bishop to himself, and somehow the
thought made him grave. 1t was al
most like the old pang over Camilla,
but it passed, leaving him afterward,
when Felicia had gone back, with tears
in his eyes and feeling that was al
most hope that Felicia and Stephen
would like each other. After all, - said
the bishop, like the sensible, good man
that he was, sis not romance part of
humanity? Love is older than am and
wiser.
The week following the bishop had
an experience that belongs to this part
of the settlements history.
He was coming back to the settle
ment very late from some gathering of
the striking tailors and was walking
along. with his hands behind him,
when two men jumped out from behind
an old fence that shut off an abandoned
factory from the street and faced him.
One of the men thrust pistol into the
bishops face, and the other threatened
him with ragged stake that had evil

Hold up your hands, and be quick
about iti'' said the man with the pistol
The place was solitary, and the bishop
had no thought of resistance. He did as
he was commanded, and the man with
the stake began to go through his pock-
cts The bishop was calm. His nerves
did not culver. As he stood there with
his arms uplifted al ignorant spectator
might have thought that he was pray
ing for the souls of these two men. And
he was. and his prayer was singularly
answered that very night.

CHAPTER XII.

Righteousness shall go before him and shall set
Us in the way Of his steps
The bishop was not in the habit of
carrying much money with him, and
the man with the stake. who was
searching him, uttered an oath at the
small amount of change he found. AS
he uttered it the man with the pistol
savagely said: Jerk out his watch !
We might as well get all we can out of
the job. -
The man with the stake was on the
point of laying hold of the chain when
there was the sound of footsteps coming
toward them.
''Get behind the fencei We haven t
half searched him yet Mind you keep
shut now if you don't want
The man with the pistol made a sig
nificant gesture with it. and his COM
panion pulled and pushed the bishop
down the alley and through a ragged
broken opening in the fence. The three
stood still there in the shadow until the
footsteps passed
Now, then, have you got the
watch p asked the man with the pistol
No; the chain is caught some
wherel' And the other man swore
again.
''Break it. them
mo; don't break it," the bishop
said, and it was the first time he had
spoken. 1.-The chain is the gift Of
very dear friend. 1 should be sorry to
have it broken -
At the sound of the bishops voice
the man with the pistol started as if he
had been suddenly shot by his own
oh - -,
other hand he turned the bishops head
toward what little light was shining
from the aneyway, at the same time
taking a step nearer. Then, to the evil
dent amazement Of his companion. he
said roughly:
'Leave the watch alone We've got
the money. That's enough"
Enough Fifty centsl You don't
reckon
Before the man with the stake could
say another word he was confronted
with the muzzle CT the pistol turned
from the bishops head toward his own.
Leave that watch be and put back
the money too. This is the bishop we've
held up-the BISHOP Do You hear?'
''And what of it? The president of
the United States wouldn't be too good
to hold up if
II say, you put the money back. or
in five minutes I'll blow hole through
your head that II let in more sense than
you have to spare now" said the other.
For a second the man with the stake
seemed to hesitate at this strange turn
in events, as if measuring his compan

pocket.

the other man and speaking with rough
