motor car. She finds cold disapproval in
the eyes OF Rev. Smith Boyd. Allison
starts n campaign for consolidation and
control OF the entire transportation sys-
tenn of the world. Gail becomes popular:
Allison gains control of transcontinental
tramc and arranges to absorb the We'd
Ger court tenement property OF Market
square church. Gail tells Boyd that the
cathedral Market Square church proposes
70 build will be out of profits wrung from
squalor. Al n meeting of the seven finan-
cial n,agnates OF the country. Allison or
ganizes the International Transportation
company. Rev. Smith Boyd undertakes
Gairs spiritual instruction and Gall un-
consciously gives Allison hint that solves
the Vedder court problem for him. On
an inspection trip in Allsons new sub
way the tunnel caves In. Gall goes back
70 her home In the West. Her friends lure
her and ArIy back to New York. In the
m.ust or struggle with the dregs Of hu-

vocal cords. there 10 not the slightest
doubt It is worth repeating. that the
public might have done something
about vedder court! As things were.
1t grew most satisfactorily indignant.
It talked Of nothing else, In the sub.
ways and on the LIS" and on the sur
face lines. and on the cindery com.
muter trains: and on the third day
OF the agitation. before something else
should happen to shake the populace
to the very foundation of its being. the
city authorities condemned the We'd
der court property as unsanitary. in
human and unsafe. as menace to the
public morals. health and life. and as
a blot upon civilization; this last be.
Ing fancy touch added by Tim Cor
man himself. who. in his old age, had
q tendency to link poetry to his prac-
ticability. In consequence Of this de-
cision. the city authorities ordered
Vedder court to be forthwith torn
down, demolished and removed from
the face of the earth: thereby Justify
ing, after all. the existence Of the free
and entirely uncurbed metropolitan
press! The exact psychological mo-
ment had been chosen. The public.
caught at the very height Of its frenzy.
applauded. and ate its dinner in virtu-
ous satisfaction; and Gail Sargent's
distress crystallized into a much cas-
Ter thing to handle; just plain anger!
And SO Market Square church had
persisted in clutching its greedy hold
on a commercial advantage SO vile
that even notoriously corrupt city
government had ordered 1t destroyed!
Her mind was immensely relieved
about Rev. Smith Boyd. She had
chosen well and wisely!

ements for SO many years. the city
had. all at once. discovered that the
condition was unbearable! The free
and entirely uncurbed metropolitan
press had taken up. with great enthu-
siasm. the work of poking the finger
of scorn at Vedder court. 1t had pub
lished photographs OF the disreputable
old sots Of buildings. and, where they
did not seem to drip enough. the
artists had retouched them. 1t had
sent budding young Poes and Dick
enses down there to write up the
place. 1t had sent the sob sisters
there in shoals to interview the down.
trodden. and. above all things, 1t had
put prominently before the public eye
the immense profit which Market
Square church wrung from this or
ganized misery!
Gail turned sick at heart as she
read. Uncle Jim permitted four
morning papers to come to the house.
and the dripping details. with many
variations. were in all of them. She
glanced over toward the rectory and
the dignified old church standing be-
yond It. with mingled indignation and
humiliation. A sort of ignominy
seemed to have descended up 1t, like
man whose features seem coarsened
from the instant he Is doomed to wear
prison stripes; and the fact which she
particularly resented was that a por.
tion of the disgrace of Market Square
church seemed to have descended
upon her. She could not make out
why this should be; but 1t was. Aunt
Grace Sargent, bustling about to see
that Gail was supplied with more
kinds of delicacies than she could pos
sibly sample. saw that unmistakable
look Of distress on Calls face. and
went straight up to her sister Helen.

Mrs. Helen Davies was having her
coffee in bed, and she continued that
absorbing ceremony while she. con-
