SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS.
John Gordon, heir to riches, refuses
a position in his father s bank and
leaves home, father and sister to work
for the people Of the slums. Sordid
money getting and a life Of frivolity
are revolving to him. Gordon's society
sweetheart, Luella Marsh, refuses to
share his life at Hope House, AN
oasis Of refuge and strength" among
tenements, saloons and vaudeville nails.
They part. Gordon goes to Hope
House and meets it's head, Miss Grace
Andrews. He decides to join the slum
settlement. His friend, David Barton,
a successful yellow" journalist with a
bad cough, asks him to conduct re-
form page in the Daily News, edited
by one Harris. Gordon considers the
offer. The offer tempts Gordon, but
he scores yellow" journalism. Edf-
tor Harris overhears the conversation,
but gives no sign when he joins Cor
don and Barton. Harris offers Gordon
$500 a month to edit slum reform
page. Barton's cough grows worse.
Gordon refuses Harris offer because
he thinks Harris wants the page for
sensational, not reform, purposes Cor
don finds that his father and Luella's
own the worst tenements in the slums.
Gordon asks his father to destroy his
illegal, insanitary tenements, but Is
repulsed. Luella's father, who owns
the worst dumb-bell tenement, visits 1t
in company with Gordon. They also
visit a disreputable vaudeville house
near by. The indecency shocks Mr..
Marsh. He promises to do something
about the dumbbell tenement. Bar
toms cough is worse. Mrs. Captain
George Effingham calls and Gordon
learns that Barton has been sending
consumptives to Colorado at his own
expense. Miss Andrews tells Gordon
that Tommy Randall, a political boss,
blocks all tenement house reform. Cor
don meets Randall at the bedside of
Louie Caylor, a victim Of the barbar-
Gus tenement system. Gordon and
Randall oppose each other concerning
the funeral arrangements, and Gordon
defeats the boss.

can; there are two sermons, an address
before the convention of Christian cit.
izenship and q list Of church duties
that Is never caught up with. But /
question If any or all Of 1t Is as impor-
tant as some Of the things I want to
discuss with you"
He paused, and his grave face light
ed up with gleam Of interest that
! transformed his scholarly appearance
into something quite different Gordon
sat down again.
What do you think Of the church,
Gordon? How much is it worth after
all!"
The question surprised Gordon.
"I'm not a Judge and don't want to
be. neglected my duties to the church,
and am the last man in the world to
| criticise it."
Falmouth sat silent awhile.
1.-The church in this city Is not doing
it's duty" he said at last. 81 sometimes
question how much it is really obeying
| Christs commands When I consider
| the wealth and business ability and
talent and culture in my own individ-
ual church alone, cannot help asking
myself how much Of 1t is really conse-
Grated to the uses Of the kingdom. do
not know six men in my own congre-
CATION who accept the doctrine Of Gods
ownership Of property, so plainly
taught in the Bible and by Christ.
When preach on the subject, my peo-
pie listen in a half amused manner. as
if | were a theorlst giving out ideas
that will not work in the practical bust
ness world. There are not dozen peo-
pie in my whole parish who give one
tenth of their income to the religious
work Of the world"
"How large is your church" Gordon
asked He was growing exceedingly
interested in Falmouth's monologue,
for the minister had talked on as If
alone.
1--WE have 976 names on the church
roll. There are seventy-two absentees.
Over 900 resident members. There are
twenty-five men in the church worth
over $4,000, If their returns to the tax
assessor are true. We raise for all
church, missionary and benevolent pur-
poses, including my salary, which Is
$500, the sum of $4,000 annually.
We pay quartet choir $4,000 year.
We pay an organist 5000. The flower
committee paid $1,IOO last year for
,, flowers and decorations in the church.
At least a dozen women in the church
Spent $500 apiece Oh flowers and deco
rations in the church. At least a
dozen women in the church spent $500
apiece OH flowers and decorations In
their homes for receptions and parties
and gave less than $40 apiece to city
missions. This sounds like a sordid
and gossipy string Of details, Gordon.
But am reminded of an extract from
one of Starr Kings essays.
"'Over against every prominent al
lowance for personal luxury the
celestial record book ought to show
some entry in favor Of the cause of
goodness and suffering humanity. For
every guinea that goes into a theater
or museum there ought to be some
twin guinea pledged for truth or fly
ing on some errand Of mercy in city
] so crowded with misery as this. Then

question. Gordon watched him closely.
"Why not?' the minister said.
He rose and went into an adjoining
room and rang a telephone bell. Cor
don could hear him talking. When he
came out. he said simply:
"rhe quartet will join me here at
9. and we will 60 down together. l
don't think any of them have been
down OH Bowen street. But, for that
matter. neither have I. 1t won't hurt
us any to see it."
81 don't know about that. sir. I'm
of the opinion that it will hurt you.
But isn't it about time that somebody
besides the people around Hope House
was hurt by what Is going on there"
The minister was silent. he under
stood fully ali that Gordon implied by
his remark When he lifted his head.
Gordon had risen to 60.
Don't 60. Gordon that is, unless
you have to. Why can't we have that
talk now as we'll as any timer"
1--WE can unless you are too
Busy? But 1t can wait. There's an
article for the Homiletic Review;
there's another for the North Ameri-

tarily arrested by an agreement be-
tween the leading traders Of Caracas,
LaGuayra, Valencia and Puerto Cabel-

The Best Remedy for Group.

From the Atchison (Kan.) Daily
Globe: This is the season when the
woman who knows the best remedies
for Group is in demand in every neigh
borhood. One of the most terrible
things in the world is to be awakened
in the middle of the night by a whoop
from one of the children. The Group
remedies are almost as sure to be lost,
in case of Group, as a revolver is
sure to be lost in case of burglars.
There used to be an old fashioned
remedy for Group, known as hive
syrup and tulu, but ONE modern
mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is better, and does not cost
so much. It causes the patient to
throw up the phlegm" quicker, and
gives relief in a shorter time. Give
this remedy as soon as the croupy
cough appears and it will prevent the
attack. 1t lever fails and is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by all
druggists.

Excellent illustration of democratic
harmony has been afforded by the
press dispatches from Washington
ever since the extra session of con-
gress has convened. On no one sub
ject seem the minority to be in accord,
unless it be their determination to
oppose everything favored by the re-
publicans. They were divided as to
the. reciprocity measure and are divid-
ed on the canal situation. Were it
not so very manifest that a majority
of the people are with the administra.
ti0n, Senator Bacon's resolution cen
surfing the president for his alleged
assistance to the Panama revolu-
tionists would probably have been
adopted in the caucus held last Mon
day. In the house it was no differ
emit as regards the Cuban treaty. Two
minority repots were submitted. Still
we are told that democracy is IRE
anited."

Although he has been indicted, on
" one side of the testimony has been
heard and those who know the gen.
tleman best are not at all doubtful
as to Senator Dietrich's ability to
make a valid defense when his case
comes to trial. AS told by those
who claim to be in possession OF the
facts, it looks as though the federal
grand jury that met at Omaha had
been used as a vehicle for venting the
spite of certain individuals, who took
advantage of the ex parte methods
employed in bringing matters to the
attention of such bodies to secure
revenge for fancied wrongs.
