who have heretofore taken no

and controlled it, nominating
come of the heat men for all the ofiic-cs
to lie filled at the coming election.
"It ivus a tremendf us lesson in good

v. iii-ii Fresident Marsh rose to speak.
'Many of them ashed, 'Who is he?' The'
consternation deepened as tho primnry
proceeded and it became evident that
tho old tiuio rinj? of city rnlers was outnumbered.
Henry Maxwell, pastor of
the First church; Milton Wright. Alexander
Powers. Professors Brown. Willard
and Park of Lincoln college. Rev.
John West, Dr. George Maine of the
Pilgrim church, Dean Ward of the Holy
Trinity und scores of well known business
and professional me n, most of them
church members, were present, and it
did not take long to s?c that they had
all come with the direct and definite
purpose of nominating the best men
possiblo. Most of these men had never
been seen in a primary They were
complete strangers to tho politicians,
but they had evidently profited by the
politician's methods and were able by
organized and united effort to nominate
the entiro ticket.
"As soon as it became plain that the
primary was out of their control the
regular ring withdrew in disgust and
nominated another ticket. The News
simply calls ?ho attention of all decent
citizens to the fact that this last ticket
contains the names of whisky men, and

between the machine and corrupt city
government, sach as wo have known
for years, and a clean, honest, capable,
businessliko city administration, such
as every good citizen ought to want.
It is not necessary to remind tho people
of Raymond that the question of local
option comes np at the election. That
will be the most important question
on tho ticket. Tho crisis of our city
affairs has been reached. Tho issue
is squarely before us. Shall we continue
tho rule of rum and boodle and
shameless incompetency, or shall we.
as President Marsh suid in his noble
speech, rise as good citizens and hegin
a new order of things, cleansing
our city of the worst enemy known to
municipal honesty and doing what lies
in our power to do with the ballot?to
purify our civic life V
"Tho News is positively and without
reservation on the side of the now
movement Wo shall henceforth do all
in our power to drive out the saloon
and destroy its political strength. Wo
shall advocate the election of men nominated
by the majority of citizens met
in the first primary, and we call upon

President Marsh read this editorial

it the xante time he understood well
enough that every other paper in Raymot
d was on the other side, lie did not
..'isaiuUr-tandthe importance and seriousness
of tho tight which was only just
begun. It was no secret that The News
hud lost enormously since it had been
.'overnod by the standard of "What

licit his action expressed in that editored
would cost him very dearly from
the hands of npny business men of
Raymond, and still as 1 o drove his pen
jvor the paper lio asked another question.
"What would Jesus do?" Thai
nest ion had lieeomo a part of his life
now. It was pre; tor than any other.
1 ut for the first time in its history

leading to tho Rectangle. As they
ueurcd tho district thoy grew more and
more nervous. The sights and smells
and sounds which had become familiar
to Virginia struck tho senses of these
refined, delicato society girls as something
horrible. As thoy entered farther
into tho district tho Rectanglo seemed
to stare as with one great bleary. l>eer

There was uu doubt of tUg.obutige that '
>-#-?> ijf W ill 111. ns was
ly quiet. It seemed as if he wore thinking
all the tirno. Certainly he wan not 1
the same person. He talked more with j
Gray than with any one->else. Ho did '
not aroid Rachel, bnt he seemed to I
shrink from any appearance of seeming
to wish to renew the old acqnnintance
with her. Rachel fonnd it even difficult
to e.vprofts to him her pleasure at the
new life he had begun to know. He ,
seemed to bo wniting to adjnst himself
to his previons relations before this new
life began. Ho had not forgotten thoso j
relations, bnt ho was not yot able to |.
fit his consciousness into new ones.
Tho end of the week found the Rectangle
struggling hard between two
mighty opposing forces. The Holy
Spirit was battling with all his supernatural
strength against the saloon
devil which had so long held a jealous
grasp on its slaves. If tho Christian
jK'oplo of Raymond once could realise
what tho contest meant to the souls
newly awakened to a new life, it did
not seem possible that tho election could
result in the old system of license. But
that remained yet to bo seen. Tho horror
of tho daily surroundings of many
of tho converts was slowly burning its
way into tho knowledge of Virginia
and Rachel, and every night as they
went up town to their luxurious homes
they carried heavier hearts.
"A gcxid many of those poor creatures
will go back again," Gray would
say with a sadness too deep for tears.
"Tho environment does have a good
deal to do with tho character. It does
not stand to reason that tlieso people
can always resist tho sight and smell of
the devilish drink all about them. O
Lord, how long shall Christian pcoplo
continue to support by their silence and
their ballots the greatest form of slavery
now known in America 1"
Ho asked the question, bn( did not
have much hope of an immediato answer.
There was a ray of hope in tho
action of Friday night's primary, but
what the result would bo ho did not
dare to anticipate. The whisky forces
were organized, alert, aggressive, roused
into unusual hatred by the events of
the last week at tho tent and in tho
city. Would tho Christian forco act as
a unit against tho saloon, or would it
be divided on account of its business
interests or because it was not in the
habit of acting together, as tho whisky
powers always did? That remained to '
bo seen. Meanwhile tho saloon reared
itself about the Roctanglo like somo
deadly viper, hissing and coiling, ready
to strike its poison into any unguarded
part.
Saturday afternoon, as Virginia was
just stepping out of her house to go
and see Rachel to talk over her new
plans, a carriage drovo up containing
three of her fashionable friends. Virginia
went out to the driveway and
stood there talking with thcin. They
had not" conio to make n formal cull,
but wanted Virginia to go riding with
them up on tho boulevard. There was
a band concert in tho jmrk. The day
was too pleasant to lie spent indoors.
"Wliero have you l>een all this time,
Virginia?" asked one of tho girls, tapping
her playfully 011 tho shoulder with
a red silk parasol. "We hear that you
have gono into tho show business. Tell
us about it."
Virginia colored, but after a moment's
hesitation she frankly told something
of her experienco at the Rectangle.
The girls in tho carriage began to
be really interested.
"Tell you what, girls, let's go slumming
with Virginia this afternoon instead
of going to tho band concert 1 I've
never been down to the Rectangle. I'vo
heard it's an awful wicked place and
lots to see. Virginia will act as a guide,
and it would be real"?"fun," slio was
going to sav, lmt Virginia's look mndo
her substitute the word "interesting."
Virginia was angry. At first thought
she said to herself she would never go
under any such circumstances. Tho
other girls eeemcd to be of tho saino
mind as the speaker. They chimed in
with earnestness and asked Virginia to
take them down there.
Suddenly she saw in tho idle curiosity
of tho girls*an opportunity. They
had never seen tho sin and misery of
Raymond. Why should they not seo
them, even if their motives in going
down thero wore simply to pass away
an afternoon Y
"Very well: I'll go with von. You
must obey my orders and let mo take
you where you can sco tho most," sho
paid as .- lie entered tho carriage and
took the seat Ix-sitlo tho girl who had
first suggested the trip to tho Rectangle.
"Hadn't we better tako a policeman
along," said one of tho girls, with a
nervous laugh. "It really isn't safe
down there, yon know."
"There's no danger," said Virginia
briefly.
"Is it true that Rollin has been converted
Y" asked the first speaker, looking
at Virginia curiously. It impressed
her during the drive to tho Rectangle
that all tlirco of her friends were regarding
her with close attention, as if
she w< ro very pecnliar.
"Yes: lie certainly is. J paw him
myself on the night of the first interest
shown, a week ago Saturday," replied
Virginia, who did not know' just how
to tel! that scene.
"I understand ho is going around to
the clubs talking with histoid friends
there, trying to preach to thorn. Doesn't
that seem funny 1" said tho girl with
fhn rn<1 cillr nnrao/J
f '
porting her was tfrtttg- P'ljr

more or loss wonderin r a fi on.I/ J
When they riMu h^jtiVy Gcjjj^h l*4fn^
ing place, tho woman who answered
Virginia's knock said that both Mr* and
Mrs. Gray wore out somewhere and
would not be back wntij 6 o'clock J <
Virginia had not planned' anything/
farther than a. possible appeal .to the
Grays either to tako cjiargobf Lorded
for awliilo or find some wife plare for
lier nntil she was sober again* She stoo<l
now at tho lodging after the woman
had spoken, and she was really at a loss,
to know what to do. LOreeil sank down
stupidly oh the steps and buried her
face in her arms. Virginia eyed tho
miserable figure with a feeling that sho
was fearful would grow into disgust.
Finally a thought possessed Virginia
thnt she could not resist. What was to
hinder Loreon from going homo with
her? Why should not this homeless,
wretched creature, reeling with the
fumes of liquor, bo onred for in Virginia's
own home, instead of being
consigned to strangers in some hospital
or liouso of charity? Virginia really
knew very littlo about any such places
of refuge. As a matter of fact, there
were two or three such institutions in
Raymond, but it is doubtful if any of
them would have taken a person like
Loreon in her present condition. But
that was not the question with Virginia
just now. "What would Jj^us do with
Lorecn?" was what Virginia faced, and
slio finally answered it by touching
Lorecn again.
"Loreon, coino! You are going borne
with me. Wo will tako tho car bore at
the corner."
Loreeu staggered to her feet and, to
Virginia's relief, made no trouble. Slio
had expected resistance or a stubborn
refusal to move. Wfion they reached
tho corner and took tho car, it was
nearly full of people going up town.
Virginia was painfully conscious of tho
stare that greeted her and her companion
as they entered, but her thought
was directed more and more to the approaching
pceno with her grandmother.
What would Mine. Pago say when sho
saw Loreen ?
Loreon was nearly sober now, but slio
was lapsing into a state of stupor. Virginia
was obliged to hold fast to lier
arm. Several times sho lurched heavily
against Virginia, and as tho two went
np the avenue a curious crowd of people
turned and gazed at them. When
sho mounted tho steps of the handsome
house, Virginia breathed a sigh of relief,
even in the face of the interview
with her grandmother, and when tho
door shut and she was in the wide hall
with her homeless outcast sho felt equal
to anything that might now come.
Muie. Page was in tho library. Hearing
Virginia come in, sho came into the

her.
"Grandmother" ?Virginia spoko
without hesitation ?nd' ve?y /doarly?
"I have brought oub'of ?ny friends
from tho Rectangle. She is in trouble
and lius 110 home. I am going to card
for her a little while."
Mine. Pago glanced from her granddaughter
to Loreen in astonishment.
"Did you say she was 0110 of your
friendsV" she asked in 11 cold, sneering
voico that hurt Virginia more than anything
she had yet ft It.
"Yes; I said so." Virginia's face
flushed, but sho seemed to recall tho
verso that Mr. Gray had used for one
of his recent sermons. "A friend of publicans
and sinners.'' Surely Jesus would
do this that sho was doing.
"Do yon know what this girl is';"
asked Mine. Pago in an angry whisper,
stepping near Virginia.
"I know very well, fiho is an outcast.
You need not tell me, grandmother.
I know it even better than "you
do. Sho is drunk at this minute, lint
bIio is also a child of God. I liavo seen
her on her knees repentant, and I have
seen hell reach out its horrible fingers
after her again, and, by tho grnco of
Christ, I feel that the least I can do is
to rescuo her from such periL Grandmother.
wo call ourselves Christians.
Hero is a poor, lost human creature
without a homo, slipping into a possible
eternal loss, and wo havo more than
euongli. I havo brought her here and
shall keep her."
Mine. Pago glared ut Virginia and
clinched her hands. All this was contrary
to her social code of conduct.
How could society excuse such familiarity
with the scum of the strcotsV
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 tho
leaders of society ? To Mine. Page society
represented more than tho church
or any other institution. It was a power
to bo feared and obeyed. Tho loss of
its good will was a loss inoro to l>e
dreaded than anything, except tho loss
of wealth itself.
She stood erect and stem and confronted
Virginia, fully roused and determined.
Virginia placed her arm
about Is-reen and calmly looked her
grandmother in ilio fucc.
"Yon shall not do this, Virginia.
Yon can send her to tho asylutn fox
helpless women. We can pay all the expenses.
Wo cunnot afford, for tho sake
of onr reputations, to shelter snob a
nerson.''
