OPPOSITION TO MIR. SHAW.
Declines tO Be Candidate for Meth
 odist Conference Delegate.

Des Moines, Ia.. Special
 Tn the district conference of the Meth odist Episcopal Church Secretary Shaw received only one vote for delegate to the general conference at Los Angeles.
 This ends a somewhat bitter district controversy in which the secretary was credited with strong desire to represent the Des Moines district for the third time at the general conference. Such for midable opposition, however. was devel- oped that the secretary announced to the conference, through L. NJ. Mann. of Des Moines, that he was not a candidate.
 The opposition originated in the First Church at Des Moinec. When Secretary Shaw removed to Washington he took a letter from that church in the usual form. This letter was unexpectedly re- turned at the recent quarterly confer 'ence of the First Church, the secretary stating that, on second thought, he pre- ferred to retain his membership and that of his family in that church. The charge was made that this was done for the purpose of reelection as delegate to the general conference, and so much ill-feel- ing was engendered that the secretary s election was said to be impossible.

- Gordon rercad this letter
..:< 10Th gltsteniEg eyes.
oBN GORDON was
reading the two
letters that David
/ Barton had received
~ from the old lady,
Mrs. Captain George
Ehngham. The fu-
neral service had been held in obedl-
ence to Barton's request. Gordon, Har-
ris. Williams and small group OF
newspaper men had come up to the
rooms. Falmouth read simple ser7-
ice. and he and Gordon and Harris and
Williams afterward went out to the
cemetery. When it was all over, Cor
don, in accordance with his friends
wishes, came back to the rooms. Bar
tons will left most Of his personal ef-
fects to his friend. The furniture and
books he gave to Hope House. A smau
sum Of money was divided among
few Of the Colorado people who had
been helped by Barton and were still
In need.
After Gordon had attended to these
simple details, his heart still burning
over the events that had become his
tory after the fire, he at last came to
Barton's desk and the disposal OF its
contents. There was almost no cor
respondence. \ simple formal note ad-
dressed to Miss Andrews asked her
to accept the furniture, pictures and
books and use them in whatever way
seemed best to her. Any stranger
might have written it. AS Gordon read
the cold, formal statement he said TO
himself, "She will never know-I sup
pose it's all right-but oh, David, to
think Of dying OF hunger!

gist, but you are fair to your own log
ic, fair as mathematical problem"
The voice Of Archie Penrose rose
again. Argument had no weight with
him.
"But say this is dangerous wom-
an. She makes the people discomfort
ed with their surroundings and creates
bitterness between classes"
"I don't agree with you," the pro
fessor's smooth, easy voice answered
again. "She is doing great good in her
way. Mr.. Gordon"-the professor was
sitting three chairs below Gordon on
the opposite side Of the table-"you
are surely in a position to verify my
statements about this estimable Wom-
an. Set this misguided young man
right in the matter. BE has been mis-
Informed by some one"
Every face at the table was turned
toward John Gordon except Luella's.
She looked down at the table. 1t was
very still. Penrose was red and nerT-
GUS. Just how be had precipitated the
discussion Gordon did not know until
several weeks afterward. It was enough
that the entire subject Of his personal
life work was now at once the object
Of interest to all these people. It was
the last situation in the world ne
would have chosen for himself, but
it had been thrust upon him through
no seeking Of his own. In the husn
that waited his answer to the profess
or Gordon saw blue eyed woman dig
ging with bleeding hands at ruin out
Of which ghastly faces peered, and 1t
was the vision Of whole life that for
fifteen years had flung itself down into
the tragedy Of humanity to save It re-

"You will not lose your temper?

Of gentle caution that Gordon felt
sounding in his ears as he entered Mr..
N1arsh's Office. It guided MIN with IN

impulse that otherwise roighr have
made him say or do the unnecessary

Mr.. Marsh greeted him with evident
embarrassment
"Glad to see you, Gordon" he said,

still, help us transform the whole Of

Marsh faltered.

to see her. The swift and evenHul
current Of events that flowed around
Hope House had carried him along so
unanimously that he had let the old
relations with his home drift and yet,
in spite of all that had to be- counted
into swift receding past, he could
not deny the strength Of the blood re-
lationship.
He turned from the professor with
feeling Of relief and began to chat with
his sister.
She was the same careless, thought
less, superficial creature she had al
ways been, and yet she had an affec-
ton for her brother that John Gordon
felt was very real. 1t touched hlm,
even while he was wounded by many
things she careIessly uttered about his
own choice of life.

his arm with her fan and then de-
scribel a little circle with it that In
cluded the rooms and their brilliant
contents. "It seems very real to me-"
she added with a light laugh.
John Gordon let his look so over the
Interior Of that princely residence. AL
the soft, easy, luxurious appliances OF
modern civilization within the reach Of
lavish wealth were evident on every
side. Velvet carpets, golden decora-
tions, the most costly pieces Of art,
wood carving from Bavaria, exquisite
medallions, portraits by Sandalio, and
paintings the price Of any one OF

he suddenly looked into Mary's race
and said, with smile:
"The things are real enough; it IS the
life that is unreal.

before he could answer she ratified on
carelessly:

she is a remarkable person. Tell me,
