ISIS ANDREWS had
come into the room
and up to the table
before John Gordon
raised his head.
News and citizen. [volume] (Morrisville, Vt. ;) 1881-current, 1903-01-28

For answer Miss Andrews took down
from the house library a volume con-
tanning list of property owners in
Hope House neighborhood Before Civ
ing it to Gordon she said sadly: you
must not let this list disturb your gen
eral purpose. or course it viii not do
that. But | am sure you want all the
facts"
"That is just what l want" said
Gordon, wondering little at Miss An
'drews' gravity, although she was al
ways calmly serious.
She quietly, but with the same man
ner Of doubtful hesitation, put the book
| in his hands and went into the hall to
answer a summons.
John Gordon opened the volume and
began to run down the names in the
list. He was alone at the time, and in
thinking back over the experience he
was able to recall the strange sensa-
ton he had of isolation from every
friend, even Barton, whom he had not
seen for several days. This feeling Of
isolation was so unusually strong that
he had to fight against the falsehood
that there was no tie of friendship in
his work, that he stood alone in the
struggle for humanity.
Name after name of agents or firms
or companies having control of the
property around Hope House had been
read by him, and he had not reached
the block he had been studying, for his
interest deepened every moment as he
recognized familiar names, familiar in
the commercial and social world.
He turned over page and came to
the section marked "Waterside." and
the second name he read was Rufus
Gordon" with numbers Indicating
ownership of several of the worst
houses in the block. He read the name
with frightening color and went on,
and near the top of the opposite page
he saw the name of Philo II. Marsh
and numbers crediting him with own
ing half a dozen tenements. CHANGING
at the bottom of the page, Gordon
noted the same name again as the own
er of property which, by reference to
the map of the appendix, he identified
by comparison with his own draft Of
the block, as saloon and vaudeville
property.
"Luella's fatherp' The idea that for
years the woman to whom he had given
his affections had idled in the luxury
of her home, kept in the possession of
the soft, easy things of social luxury
by means of money that had the faint
of human misery and shame and sin
on it, caused him to revolt against the
whole cruel social Indifference of that
part of the social world represented
by the facts in the book before him.
"Luella's father and mine alsow he
added. He leaned his head on his
hand. and his face grew stern. Miss
Andrews, coming back to the library,
paused in the doorway and stood there
a moment looking intently at him.

In the morning the friends break
tasted at a clubroom near by, where
Barton had bachelor quarters at table,
and John Gordon noted with concern
the face of Barton, which showed
marks of wakefulness.
Il coughed once or twice just to keep
in practice And at o'clock l went
off again just as reminder of getting
up time. But don't you worry. I'll be
all right when get used to it."
He laughed lightly and accompanied
Gordon part way down into the city,
leaving him at the point where the
Hope House district began after exact
ing a promise from him that he would
take dinner with him at that evening
John Gordon went at once to Hope
House and had conference with Miss
Andrews.
There is no reason why l should not
begin my work at once" Gordon said.
The trouble is"-Miss Andrews spoke
with Il slight smile-''you are not like
the average resident. More than half
of my people during the last ten years
have left me to enter their life work.
Now | underestimate
This is my life work." said Gordon
gravely.
1T is a matter of both life and
death, Mr.. Gordon. But let us arrange
Il definite programme" she added has
tily, as if disturbed by some idea for
eign to this conference. How would
you like a tenement house tour to be-
gin with?"
Il will do whatever you suggest. l

just the right thing to do"

ment. Suppose you go out with Ford.
He is making a report of the block west
of Bowen street. You can help him."
For a week John Gordon and Ford,
the university student made a special
study of a block of tenements in the
Hope House district. Ford took kodak
pictures of alleys and back yards and
stairways and groups Of tenement chill
dren and inanimate groups of garbage
and sitting narrow courts and displays
of soiled and tattered wash and every
thing else except the Smells as Gordon
said, and he and Ford took them with
out the aid of a camera. Gordon tabu.

on the life of the lives in that ulcer of

At the end of the week Gordon had
reached SEINE conclusions.
"What can be done about lettering

ments are victims to large degree OF
conditions that they are unable to bet

There's the vital point. How to reach
