President Marsh read this editor: and thanked God for Edward Norma At the same time he understood w enough that every other paper in Ra mond was on the other side. He did n misunderstand the importance and se: oosness of the fight which was only jv begun. It was no secret that The Nei ?ad lost enormously since it had bet governed by the standard of "Wh would Jesus do?" The question no was. "Would the Christian people -Eaymond stand by it?" Wonld th< make it possible for Norman to conda s daily Christian paper, or would the desire for what is called "news," i the way of crime, scandal, politic partisanship of the regular sort and ?dislike to champion so remarkable a ri form in journalism, influence them 1 drop the paper and refuse to give :?'?[ their financial support? That was, i ?act, the question Edward Norman W? asking even while he wrote the Satu: ?day editorial- He knew well enoug *?iat his action expressed in that ed tonal would cost him very dearly froi the hands of many business men c Saymond, and still as he drove his pe over the paper he asked another que? tion, "What would Jesus do?" Tha question had become a part of his lif mow. It was greater than any other. But for the first time in its histor Kaymond had seen the professions men, the teachers, the college profes ?ors, the doctors, the ministers, tak political action and put themselve -definitely and sharply in antagonism t< the evil forces that had so long con trolled the machine of the municipa government. The fact itself was aston ishing. President Marsh acknowledged to himself, with a feeling of humilia tion. that never before had he knowx what civic righteousness could accom plish. From that Friday night's wor! he dated for himself and his college i new definition of the worn phrase, "the scholar in politics. " Education for hin and those who were under his influence ever after meant some element of suf? fering. Sacrifice must now enter inte the factor of development. At the Rectangle that week the tide of spiritual life rose high and as yet showed no signs cf flowing back. Rachel and Virginia went every night. Vir? ginia was rapidly reaching a conclusion with respect to a large part of her money. She had talked it over with Rachel, and they had been able to agree that if Jesus had a vast amount of money at his disposal he might do with some of it as Virginia planned. At any rate, they felt that whatever Jesus might do in such a case would have as large an element of variety in it as the difference in persons and cir? cumstances There could be no fixed Christian way of using money. The rule that regulated its use was unselfish utility . But meanwhile the glory of the Spirit's power possessed all their best thought. Night after night that week witnessed miracles as great as walking on the sea or feeding the multitude with a few loaves and fishes, for what greater miracle than a regenerated hn ' inanity? The transformation of these ' coarse, brutal, sottish lives into pray? ing, rapturous lovers of Jest:s struck Rachel and Virginia every time with the feelings that people may have hau when they saw Lazarus walk out of th? torah. It was an exp?rience fall of profound excitement to them. Rollin Page came toali themeetings. There was no doubt of the change that had cen e over him. He was wonderful? ly cjr.iet. ii seemed a . if he were think? ing all the time. Certainly he was not thesamepcr n. Ke talked more with Gray than with anyone else. Hedi:; not avoid ?Ve V1. b"t he seemed tc shrink from any a] pearance o?* seeming to wish to ren v the old acquaintance with her. Each I f- und it evendifScr.lt toexpress to.him her pleasure at the new life he had begun to know. Ile seemed to be waiting to adjust himself to his previous relations before this new life began. He had net forgotten those relatifs, but he was not yet able to fit his culli e:*'.".?ness into new ones. The end of the week found the Rec? tangle struggling hard between two mighty opposing forces. The Holy Spirit was battling with ail his super? natural strength against the saloon devil which had so long held a jealous grasp on it? slaves. If the Christian people of Raymond once could realize what the contest meant tc the souls newly awakened to a new life, it did not seem possible that the election could i resuit in thc old system of license. But that r< main -d yet t<> be seen. The hor- i ror of the daily surroundings of many j of the converts "was slowly burning its j way into the knowledge of Virginia 1 , and Rachel ana ? very night as they : went np town to their luxurious, homes ? they carried heavier hearts. *'A good many of tb ?se poor croat- ! ur<>-i viii i/<; back again." Gray wo l-l 1 say with a sadness t$>o dee;? for tears, j "The^environment does have a good | ?eai to do WI?? ??:.- caaract-zr. i' <.-? s : not s?;;::'i '.<> r.- :.?.>xt i??::t thfse ]..>;"<. j can always resist ?i;<> sight and sm:vil ?.:' ' the ? -vi I i- ]: ?\i ink ; ;i about them. < > | Lord, how long shall Chri ian people | continue tos? pport by ti:- .r r :l. their ball: ts the gre rest form of slav- j erv now known in America?" ' He asked the question. J .nt did not j have much hope of an imrncdiate an- j swer. There was a ray of hope in the j action o? bricuxy night s primary, ?ot what the result would be ii" <ii<i not dare to anticipate. The whisky forces vc^-^anized. alert, aggressive, roused in. , v iia.-ui.. Ci by the evmts of the last week ai the tent an J in city. Would the Christian force act a unit against the sulcor*, or would be divided on account of its basin interests or because it was not in habit of acting together, as the whi> powers always did ? That remained be seen. Meanwhile the saloon rea: itself about the Rectangle like so; deadly viper, hissing and coiling, rea to strike its poison into any unguarc part. Saturday afternoon, as Virginia v just steppirg out of her house to and see Rachel to talk over her ni plans, a carriage drove up containi three of her fashionable friends. V ginia went out to the driveway a: stood there talking with them. Th had not come to make a formal ca but wanted Virginia to go riding wi them up on the boulevard. There w a band concert in the park. The di was too pleasant to be spent indoors. 4'Where have you been all this tim Virginia?" asked one cf the girls, ta ping her playfully on tho shoulder wi a red silk parasol. "We hear that y< have gone into the show business. T< us about it. ' ' Virginia colored, but after a m ment's hesitation shefrank?;'told som thing of her experience at the Reeta: gie. The girls in the carriage began ' be really interested. "Tell you what, girls, let's go SIUD ming with Virginia this afternoon ii stead of going to the band concert ! Ft never been down to the Rectangle. I'\ heard it's an awful wicked place an lots to see. Virginia will act as a guid< and it would be real"-"fun, " she W? going to say. but Virginia's look mad her substitute the word "interesting.' Virginia was angry. At first thougl: she said to herself she would never g under any such circumstances. Th other girls seemed to be of the sam mind as the speaker. They chimed i: with earnestness and asked Virginia t take them down there. Suddenly she saw in the idle euri osity of the girls an opportunity. The; had never seen the sin and misery o Raymond. Why should they not se them, even if their motives in goinj down there were simply to pass a wa; an afternoon ? "Very well: I'll go with you. Yoi must obey my orders and let me tak you where you can see the most," sh? said as she entered the carriage an< took the seat beside the girl who ha( first suggested the trip to the Rectangle "Hadn't we better take a policemai along." said one of the girls, with ? nervous laugh. "Itx( really isn't saf< dov.-n there, you know." "There's no danger, " said Virginia briefly. "Is it true that Rollin has been con? verted V" asked the first speaker, look? ing at Virginia curiously. Ii impressec: her during the drive to the Rectangle that all three of her friends were re? garding her with close attention, as ii she were very peculiar. "Yes; he certainly is. I saw him myself cn the night of the first interest shown, a week ago .Saturday," replied Virginia, who did Lot know just how to tell that scene. "I understand he is going around to the clubs talking with his old friends there, trying to preach to them. Doesn't that seem funny V" said the girl with the red silk parasol. Virginia did not answer, and the other girls were beginning to feel sober as the carriage turned into the street leading to the Rectangle. As they neared the district they grew more and more nervous. The sights and smells and sounds which had become familiar to Virginia struck the senses of these refined, delicate society girls as some? thing horrible. As they entered farther into the district the Rectangle seemed !:> stare as with one great bleary, beer soaked countenance at this fine carriage with its load of fashionably dressed young ladies. "Slumming" had never been a fad with Raymond society, and th::; was perhaps tile first time that the two had come together in this way. The girls felt that, instead of seeing the Rectangle, they were objects of curi? osity. They were frightened and dis? gusted. "Let's go back. I've seen enough." Faid the girl who was sitting willi Vir? ginia. They were at that moment just op? posite a notorious saloon and gambling hov.se. Th*- street was narrow and the sidewalk crowded. Suddenly out of the door of th;- saloon a young woman reeled she was shenrec in a broken, drunken sob that seemed to indicate that she partly realized her awful con? dition, "Just as 1 am. without one plea. " and as thc carriage roiled past ; she leered at it. raising her face s;> that Virginia saw it v ry close to }. r own. i It vas the face <.: ile- girl who had kneeled sooting tie::, n?uh?. with Vir- j ginia kneeling beside her and praving j for?vr- ..

The | saloon keeper ha-1 corne to-the (!<..>;. j ?7*"4 ou. with hii hands on his hips, and ! the Rectangl; from its windows, iis sa'oon steps, its filthy sidewalk, gutter and roadway paused and with midis guised wonder stared at the two giris. Over the scene the wann sun of spring poured its mellow light. A faint breath of music from the band stand in the park floated into the Rectangle. The concert had begun, and the fashion and wealth of Raymond were displaying themselves up town on the boulevards. CHAPTER VI. For I came- to sot a man at variance acrainst his father. and thc daughter a-rair.st her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, and a man's foes shall bc they of his o\ra house? hold. Be ye therefore imitators of God. as beloved children, and walk in love even as Christ ilso loved you. When Virginia left the carriage and went to Loreen, she had no definite idea as to what she would do or what the result cf her action would be. She sim? ply saw a soul that had tasted of the joy of a better life slipping back again into its old hell of shame and death, and before she had touched the drunken girl's arm she had asked only one ques? tion, "What would Jesus do?" That question was becoming with her, as with many others, a habit of life. She looked around now as she stood close by Loreen, and the whole scene was cruelly vivid to her. She thought first of the girls in the carriage. "Drive on. Don't wait for me. I am going to see my friend here home, " she said, calmly enough. The girl with the red parasol seemed to gasp at the word "friend" when Vir? ginia spoke it. She did not say any? thing. The other girls seemed speech? less. ' 'Go on. I cannot go back with you, ' ' said Virginia. The driver started the horses slowly. One of the girls leaned a little out of the carriage. "Can't we-that is-do you want our help? Couldn't we" "No, no!" exclaimed Virginia. "You j cannot be of any use to me." The carriage moved on. and Virginia was alone with her charge. She looked up and around. Many j faces in the crowd were sympathetic, i They were not all cruel or brutal. The Holy Spirit had softened a good deal of the Rectangle. j "Where does she live?" asked Vir? ginia. No ono answered. It occurred to Vir? ginia afterward, when she had time to think it over, that the Rectangle showed a delicacy in its sad silence that would have done credit to the boulevard. For the first time it flashed upon her that the immortal being who was flung like wreckage upon the shore of this earthly hell called the saloon had no place that could be called home. The girl suddenly wrenched her arm from Virginia's grasp. In doing it she nearly threw Virginia down. "You shall not touch me! Leave me! Let me go to hell! That's where I be? long! The devil is waiting for me ! See him!" she exclaimed hoarsely. She turned and pointed with a shaking fin? ger at the saloon keeper. The crowd., laughed. Virginia stepped up to her and put her arm about her. "Loreen." she said firmly, "come with me. You do not belong to hell. You belong to Jesus, and he wiil save you. Come. The girl suddenly burst into tears. She was only partly sobered by the shock of meeting Virginia. Virginia looked around again. "Where does Mr. Gray live?" she j asked. She knew the evangelist board- j ed somewhere near that tent A number of voices gave her the di- ; rection. "Come, Loreen. I want yon to go ; with me to Mrs Gray's, " she said, still I keeping her hold of the swaying, trem- i hiing creature, who still moaned and sobbed and now clung to Virginia as I before she had repulsed her. So the two moved on through the j Rectangle toward the evangelist's lodg- j ing place. The sight seemed to impress the Rectangle seriously. It never took j itself seriously when it was drunk, but ; this was diiTerent. The fae t 1 hat one of ! the most beautifully dressed girls in j Raymond was taking care of one of the j Rectangle's most notorious characters, who reeled along under the influence of j liquor, was a fact astonishing enough ; I > throw more or less dignity and im- ? l>rtance about Loreen herself. The j event of Loreen stumbling through the j gutter dead drunk always made the ! Rectangle laugh and jest, but Lor< en i staggering along with a young lady from the society circles up town sup- j porting her was another thing. The j Rectangle viewed it with soberness and j more or less wondering admiration. When they reached Mr. Gray's board? ing place, the woman who answered Virginia's knock said that both Mr. and Mrs. Gray wera out somewhere and would not be back until 6 o'clock. Virginia had not planned anything further than a possible appeal to the Grays either to take charge of Loreen for awhile or find some safe place for her until she was sober again. She stood now at the lodging after the woman j had spoken, and sac was really al a loss i to know what to do. Loreen sank down j stupidly on the step.; and buried her \ face in her ams. Virginia eyed the j miserable figure with a feeling that she was fearful would grow into disgust. i Finally a thought possessed Virginia j that she could not resist. What v. as to hindi r Lore- from going homo wi rh j lier? Why should II<M this homeless; j wretched creature; reeking with the I fumes of liquor, be cared for in Vir 1 gin ia's own horne, instead of being j consigned to strangers ia som.?':hospital yr house, of charity?

" Loreen staggered to her feet and. to I Virginia's relief, made no trouble. SheJ nacl" expected resistance or a stubborn refusal to move. When they reached the corner and took the car, it was nearly full of people going up town Virginia was painfully conscious of the j stare that greeted her and her compan? ion as they entered, but her thought was directed more and more to the ap ! proa ching scene with her grandmother, j What would Mme. Page say when she ; saw Loreen ? j Loreen was nearly sober now, but she ! was lapsing into a state of stupor. Yir ! gi ni a was obliged to hold fast to her j arin. Several times she lurched heavily j against Virginia, and as the two went up the avenue a curious crowd of peo? ple turned and gazed at them. When I she mounted the steps of the handsome house, Virginia breathed a sigh of re? lief, even in the face of the interview with her grandmother, and when the door shut and she was in the wide hall with her homeless outcast she felt equal to anything that might now come. Mme. Page was in the library. Hear? ing Virginia come in, she came into the hall. Virginia stood there supporting Loreen, who stared stupidly at the rich magnificence of the furnishings around her. "Grandmother" -Virginia spoke without hesitation and very clearly "I have brought one of my friends from the Rectangle. She is in trouble and has no home. I am going to care for her a little while. " Mme. Page glanced from her grand? daughter to Loreen in astonishment. "Did you say she was one of your friends?" she asked in a cold, sneering voice that hurt Virginia more than any? thing she had yet felt. "Yes; I said so." Virginia's face flushed, but she seemed to recall the verse that Mr. Gray had used for one of his recent sermons, "Amend of pub? licans and sinners. ' ' Surely Jesus would do this that she was doing. "Do you know what this girl is?" asked Mme. Page in an angry whisper, j stepping near Virginia. "I know very well. She is an out I cast. You need not tell me, grand j mother. I know it even better than you ? do. She is drunk at this minute. Bat ! she is also a child of God. I have seen : her on her knees repentant, and I have seen hell reach oat its horrible fingers j after her again, and, by the grace of Christ, I feel that the least I can do is j to rescue her from such, peril. Grand? mother, we call ourselves Christians. Here is a poor, lost human creature without a home, slipping into a possible eternal loss, and we have more than, enough. I havo brought her here and shall keep her. ' * Mme. Page glared at Virginia and clinched her hands. All this was con? trary to her social code of conduct. How could society excuse such famil? iarity with the scum of the streets? What would Virginia's actions cost the family in the way of criticism and the loss of standing and all that long list of necessary relations which people of wealth and position must sustain to the leaders of society ? To Mme. Page so? ciety represented more than the church or any other institution. It was a pow? er to be feared and obeyed. The loss of its good will was o loss more to be dreaded than anything, except the loss of wealth itself. Slie stood erect and stern and con? fronted Virginia, fully roused and de? termined. Virginia placed her arm about Loreen and calmly looked her grandmother in the face. "You shall not do this. Virginia. You can send her to the asylum for helpless won1 en. We can pay all the ex pences. We cannot afford, for the sake of our reparations, to shelter snch a person. " "Grandmother, I do not wish to do anything that is displeasing to voa. j but 1 am going to keep Loreen here to- j night and longer il* I think it is best." "Then you can answer for the conse? quences. I do nor stay in the sam*1 house with a miserable"- Mme. Page lost her self control Virginia stopped her before she could speak the next word. "Grandmother, this house is mine. It is your hom.: with me as long as you choose to remain, bat in this matter I shall act as I fully believe Jesus would . in my place. I ara willing to boar all that society may say or do. Society is not my Ged. By the side of this poor, lost son! I do not count tho verdict of society as of ai.y value." "I shall not remain here, then." said Mme. Page. She turu, d suddenly and walked to th- end of the hail. Sh" then came back and said, with an emphasis that rev- aled her intense excitement and passion : "Yon can always remember that you have driven your grandmother cut of your house in favor of a drunken wom? an." Then, without waiting for V ir? ginia to reply, the turned again went upstairs.. [TO BE CONTINUED.! SIitn'M ."Ut!!'on V?ar?. According to tho oojuausiori* of Mr. A. Ii.
